Using Cell Info Display in MIDlets

How can I access the " Cell Info Display " provided by GSM service provider from our MIDlets to get some location idea from Nokia Series 40 or 60 Mobile Handsets ?
Without using Locational API's, is their any Native mathods aceesable for this, provided by any Nokia ?

Well, that's a very popular question.
What i have found until today is summarized below.
1-) No, there are no methods for getting Cell ID or Local Area Network. Most provider's don't provide it (intentionally). Some Motorola phones accept a call like System.getProperty("phone.cid") or System.getProperty("Siemens.CID")
2-) I suggest you use C++ if your phone supports symbian. There is not a standar way, but using etelcom Apis you can get the Network information.
Look for more details on official nokia forums.
3-) Good luck, and tell me if you could manage to finish your app.

Cell Info Display option in iPhone

Hi, I am using iPhone 5. I need to know that 'do we have an option to Display Cell Info like we do have in Nokia handsets'. This will display the real time tower location info on the screen. This information should be displayed everytime handsoff occurs and this should work without opening any external installed app. Thanks.

What you had written is correct, when selected GSM only it displays the cell info.
However, in Sri Lanka, where I live, the operators are using GSM and UMTS in a complementary fashion that when you put on to dual mode the coverage is high.
I am subscribing to two operators, Dialog and Mobitel. In the Dialog network even if you put to dual mode it displays the cell info. This happenedwith Mobitel network only.
Anyway, thank you very much for the information.
You are welcome , also bear in mind that cell info display that can be activated in E71 is not only 3G , it's 3.5G and this could make difference when it comes to network services .

Cell Info Display Problem

Past 2 days , my Nokia N71 cell info display gets stuck only showing one area or doesn't show at all, even though moving to another area doesn't change. To update cell info display i need to restart my phone or i need to go settings then i select cell info display then change to off then again on. But i have also Nokia 5700 XM but it doesn't face the same problem and it is also subscribed to same network as n71.
my N71 fimware is V 2.0642.1.05
Please someone give the solution to the problem.
Best Regards

Hi Yogeshwar,
The Cell info display now a days displays only some Offers that are dished out by the Operator. Once upon a time it was showing the AREA where you are but thats no more there I think. Not atleast on the Vodafone network in India. And its the same on all handsets, not only Nokia X1-01. Recently I had contacted Vodafone in this regard and was told that the duration for which the info is flashed can not be increased.
As for the signal problem hope that the Antenna is not covered by any other object.. Refer Pg.No. 7 of the User_Guide ...Else you may have to get the phone inspected by Nokia Care...

Cell info display on Nokia 701

Hi every body, My Nokia 701 is not displaying cell info i.e name of area or name of tower covering my phone even though I set info display to on in pull down notification menu right from time of purchase. Is this problem specific to my phone. My old phone Nokia X3-00 was showing cell info with 2G sim. Now I am having 3G sim inserted into my phone 701. But cell info display is off either with 2G or 3G coverage.

I jsut checked it on my c3 00 with vodafone and it started showing some special offers on home screen.
But I tried the same on my 701 with aircel and it doesn't show any of that.

Cell Info Display

Hey. I have an n8. When i turn on the cell info display. Where does it display?

Normally it is displayed at the place where your active Profile is displayed ...
Not sure where are you located..but here in India the Cell Info Displaye just comes on only when the screen is activated from the standby mode..and it remains hardly for a second..then it displays the active Profile..

Cell Broadcast / Cell Info Display is not static i...

Good Afternoon,
I come by this means can try to explain how a situation that saw the Nokias 6210 Navigator.
A customer information to activate the cell and the cell to receive the information by the same operator appears next to the hours over the name of the profile but is not static, or appears and disappears immediately.
In other Nokias I have checked the information of the cell is always static display of the phone does not disappear. I wonder how can get this information to Nokia to the next versions of firmware updates to correct this situation, there are customers who use certain services of the operators such as the case of TMN TMN that has regional and customer needs to see what indicative of the area where you are and thus becomes complicated because you do not see the same information by not being static.
Can perform this experiment with a Nokia 6210 Navigator and a Nokia E65 or 6630 and others in which information is fixed.
It was with considerable difficulties in Spain which could capture information of the cell with Nokia 6210 Navigator, and therefore opted to take pictures with a nokia 6630 and N-Gage.
No other matter of time, support me with high esteem and consideration
Carefully
Examples:
Nokia 6630

If it helps, it may be whether operators actually support it, as my nokia x6 from vodafone use to display it but as soon as I unlocked it and siwtched to T Mobile it's stopped. I have now just switched it onto gsm connection only and it doesn't work so it could well be operator support dependent

Nokia 5530 Cell Info - How to enable?

I travel alot and I rely on Cell info to know the place where I am at that moment using my old Nokia phone(6021).
In my new Nokia 5530, I do not see any where to set the Cell Info.
Is it that I am looking at a different place or is there any other utility that gives the Cell Info?
FYI I have not enabled GPRS because I don't require it. I only want the Cell info.

Can't offer any advice on this because I have never tried it. As far as I am concerned Cell Info Display flashes on and off from time to time. For what it is worth, I don't think you can.

N 73 ME - cell information display

Dear Sirs
I have N73 ME for two days and I am very satisfied with it.
The product code is 0544952 and I have updated fw from this site to the official version(V 4.0796.3.2.1.).
I have problem with "cell info display" because it is turned on in settings (tools-settings-phone-network) but I can never see that information on display.
Is this "normal" or something else I have to do to obtain this?
Please advice what to do.
With best regards,
Bane

Hi Bane
Go to menu, tools, settings, network, network mode.
Dual mode: phone switches seamlesly between 3G/2G networks as per the availability in your location.
UMTS: Phone only operates in 3G mode. ie if you fall out of 3G coverage the phone will have no signal at all, not even froma 2G beacon.
GSM: Phone shuts down 3G completely and goes into a power saving 2G mode where signal will only be received in a 2G network environment. AS all cell towers started on the technology for 2G, you should never lose signal, have increased battery life, be able to view MCN and arguably better call quality.
Of course the latter would be your choice!

My word files are all corrupted- when i open 'get info' under "More info" they all have 'Photos for Personal Use or Home Display" and Authors: technology

My Word files are corrupted. When I open 'Get Info' then 'More Info' I find 'Photos for Personal Use or Home Display' and 'Authors' : Technology. - Nothing to do with the file I'd just written. My most recent files can't be saved or opened.
Is this Malware or some other kind of attack? I grabbed photos yesterday from what seem to be freely available pictures online. I discovered Firevault and Firewall were both turned off. (I hadn't checked before.) Any suggestions?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Retrieve GSM cell info

Is it possible to retrieve the current GSM cell info with a MIDP application running on a mobile phone?
As a reference, take a look at miniGPS that runs as a native Symbian application (http://www.psiloc.com/?id=prod&nrp=44)

Regarding the discussion you have some time ago... I have never programmed a midlet but on the other hand I would like to develop a midlet that retrieves handset information and displays it in a way such as the "old" Nokia net monitor (the locked menu). The mobile is not a GPS device, but performs or receives an number of measurements or newtork paramaters such as the signal strength, the signal quality, the timing advance, BCCHs lists, offset values etc. I would like to know if we can have access to this information (through the Location API?) in order to process and display it accordingly as it is very difficult or impossible to find an midlet application that acts like a "network monitor". For example, the mobile displays the signal strength in the form of five bars. Hence, it is already capable of processing the measured in dBm signal strength value. Is there any news about that functionality during this year?

Help using a mini display port to HDMI cable with MacBook Air and TV

Hi, Apple gurus. I need help setting up my MacBook Air to my Vizio TV using a mini display port to HDMI cable that I just purchased on Amazon.
And here's info about my MacBook Air:
In the Amazon reviews, someone posted the following how-tos, which aren't working for me:
1. Plug in both ends, mini display port on your macbook and the HDMI on any available port on your LCD.
2. Go to upper left Apple menu and scroll down to system preference. Or use your FINDER from the dock, go to applications, then system preference.
3. Click on Displays
4. Click on DETECT DISPLAY
5. A similar screen pops up with name of your LCD, mine says SONY LCD, click on ARRANGEMENT
6. Click the box that says MIRROR DISPLAYS.
7. Go back into system preferences and go to SOUNDS which is located under HARDWARE.
8. Click on OUTPUT, then select HDMI, which should be listed next to your LCD name.
I ran into trouble at step #4. My MacBook Air doesn't list the option of "detecting display." I do, however, have the box mentioned in step #6, "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."
Regarding step #8, HDMI didn't appear in the list — I only see "internal speakers."
So, what am I doing wrong? Or, did I buy the wrong cable?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Or you need to get an appropriate adaptor. The Griffin adaptor sold on Apple's Online Store will work with a standard HDMI cable.

Using a second display

I just purchased a 15" Powerbook and have attached a 23" Cinema Display. I have several questions:
Is it possible to turn off the second display without physically detaching it from the PB?
Is it possible to turn off the PB screen and just use the second display? (I know about getting a second keyboard and keeping the PB closed.)
When I have the two displays in "mirror" mode, I am not getting a full screen on the second display when i use the highest resolution on the second display. Is there a way to correct this and still maintain the highest resolution on the second display?
Thank you very much.

Hi cerett --
I have to preface my responses by saying I don't have a second display attached to my PowerBook. That said, I think I can answer the first two of your three questions. Here goes:
• Is it possible to turn off the second display without physically detaching it from the PB?
I think your 23" ACD has a power button, right? If so, why can't you just power down the ACD if you want to turn it off without physically detaching it from the PB.
Alternatively, and this also goes to my answer to your second question, you could turn down the brightness to the point where the screen is totally dark. Now, this doesn't seem like an ideal solution by any means, because you'd still have power running to the ACD for no reason, but it would seem to accomplish what you want anyway.
• Is it possible to turn off the PB screen and just use the second display? (I know about getting a second keyboard and keeping the PB closed.)
You write that you already know how to use your PowerBook with the display closed. See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286 So, it sounds like you would like to leave your PB open, but just not have the display on. If so, it seems to me you could just decrease the brightness (using the F1 key or, of course, System Preferences > Displays > Display) to the maximum extent possible so that they display goes totally dark. May not be an ideal option (see above analysis), but it would seem that it should work for you.
Sorry, but I can't help with your third question. I'm not sure, but you might increase your chances of getting the information you need, if you reposted that third question in the Apple Cinema Displays forum, here -- http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=981 -- as the answer to this question may have more to do with the characteristics of the ACD than of the PB. I'd wait to see if someone comes along here first, and, if not, then repost there.
Good luck.
