Hi,

I recognized that the location.gsm_location() does not deliver a Cell ID in case the phone (N95, latest FW) is within a 3.5G network (showing network indicator 3.5G).

If phone is in 3G, Edge or GSM connection everything is fine.

Did I missed something or should that be ok?

It is a little bit pity as the Cell ID wake up script ends in a 3.5G cell area.

Thanks

hi dietmar
first of all a warm welcome to the forum nokia python discussion boards.
really sorry but never thought of cellid in 3.5G networks as we dont have that here in india.
however can anybody except dietmar can verify that cellid() not working in 3.5G networks.

Hi Dietmar,

Yes, this is an issue !

It doesn't work with 3G's even. Everything is fine in GSM networks.

Find old threads related to this topic :

gsm_location() None Issue - the second

[BUG] gsm_location fails (3rdEd+3G/UMTS-network)

Many thanks (for warm welcome and the feedback)

Sorry, I didn´t checked the bug reports (was just looking for some threads with 'location.gsm_location').

After intensive testing I´d like to confirm the description:
- location.gsm_location() provides cell id information in 3G (but only in idle mode - can be easily catched by exception handling, but does not provide an updated cell id information)

- works perfectly in GSM coverage (and I assume during Edge coverage, but that´s a little bit difficult for me to reproduce).

BR, Dietmar
