Is there an option/software to display the Network info ??
I mean to say,
Is it possible to get the location name info of the place iam, from the service provider.
This option seems to be common in most GSM phones.
They show the location you are.
Is it possible to get the same in my Hermes?

but, i cannot tell the name cause i only know it's name of Chinese...
sorry

Good to hear that there is a software for that purpose.
But, its really sad that its in chinese
Pls somebody help me.
I need it badly
Um, isn't what you're after just the cell broadcast feature? Under the 'more' tab in your phone settings you can enable broadcast. I have found that it works fine with 2G or normal 3G networks, but when i'm on a HSDPA connection, it won't work.
I think the batterystatus plugin can then display it on the today screen so you don't have annoying messages popping up every 30 seconds, but i can't remember exactly.

My old cellular phone Ericcson R600 is ale to display name of the City I'm actually in.
I would like to have the same on today screen in my MDA2.
Is it possible? Is there today plugin which can do that?
That is not possible. The 'City name' is a Cell Broadcast (CB) message sent on CB Chanell 50 - Windows Mobile can receive CB messages, but there is no special handling of specific CB messages.
is it hardware specific (radio ROM) or OS (WM5 ROM)?
It is not impossible, but such plugin is not known (till now).
It's possible to receive broadcasts (like SMS), don't disturb phone user and store information anywhere.
It is possible to retrive stored information and display on the today screen, too.
I was thinking about this plugin, but time... May be in january ...
actually, pocketmax's phonealarm plays around with "Location-based information (change profile dependent on current location!)" which I think is similar to what you are looking for: it picks up the CellID signal, but not sure what it translates into. The idea is that when you're at "work" it'll pick up on that cell tower and switch to that profile, but I don't think it gives you the "city name".
It's also an experimental addon that doesn't work on every service.
I don't need profile switching. What I need is ability to show on Today Broadcast messages from specific channels
This is possible but the app would have some problems on newer devices as the BCM messages are ignored if the header is similar (for power consumption reasons) so if you would stop the app and restart it but not switch cells you would get no CBM to retrieve info from...
But for XDA2/2i/3 it would work np.
so it's possible but no app? is it possible to write it such plugin in .Net? I don't know C++ well..

Not sure if this will help you. The guy mentions home screen but I havent tried the app myself. Not sure what its compatible with.

It works on smartphones only.
there is a plugin called dktoday (its free!) that has this option...
does anyone know the cell broadcast chanell for t-mobile uk?
i have dktoday 1.80 and I don't see such option.
well this blog from msdn says it works...have you added the channel to be able to receive the info from your provider?
http://blogs.msdn.com/frankarr/archive/2006/04/05/568809.aspx
yes, i did it
dktoday seems to really slow down my 8125/wizard. anyone else see the same?
yeah, a little, and the battery meter is all over the place!
Worked on My Mini S

Yeah I did read the thread. But dktoday is supposed to slow down the system. Was wondering if there is something else...
I'm using dktoday with Charmer. I have been using that since. I got the unit and it is not slowing down my phone. Charmer and Wizard is relatively the same hardware other than the WiFi and such.
Anywya, dktoday has the option of displaying lines that you need, e.g., it has 3 lines of information, you can have the choice of which line to be displayed. Try that, may speed things up for you.
UPDATE: Ok, I take my words back. dkToday DOES slow your unit down (e.g. the Today screen). Ever since I read this post, I'm trying to 'sense' the effect of dkToday. I had PocketBreeze installed and the 'slow' item on my Today screen is the PBreeze, which I presume it is because it is a heavy item. However, to my surprise, the dkToday seems to be the one causing the PBreeze (probably not just Pb, but all Today plugins). Since I had this program from the first day I had my unit, it doesn't occur to me that it is this that causes the unit to slow down (as many had complain about the slowness of OMAP processor).
I need to know if its possible to have area info, location names displayed on today screen the way it works on symbian phones, i know pocket alarm does that but it doesnt display the location names it gives cell id numbers which is not that exciting.
Thanks

Hi there,
are there any devices/programs that can show all visible cell-id, not only thw one currently connected?

phonealarm pro can do this. once you montior the cell, you can link profiles to it and make it set your device config as you like when you come home or at your work, etc. very useful!

hi there,
jep thanks ...364.... works for me. is there any program that worked with cell1-cell6 info?
excellent tip. Thanks
CellProfileSwitcher can log any cell's it encounters and also near by ones. It can do more than just profile switching.

I have installed this software on HTC Universal but the prog doesnt recognise any cell. Is this device hardware limitation or I need to find proper version?
cellprofileswitcher
yes, i tried this one too...
you can check the forum and will notice that tytn gsm module is some kind different so it doesn't work.
For this reason all ideas are welcome.
I'm interested would it be posible to store data to a file, if the data is seen at the screen, suppose we enter some code (like get imie), or run program and the required information is showen on the screen...
getting info
Maybe someone could share how to get info such like cellprofileswitch returns?
Since i need to combine more information at the same time and know that cps won't manage to do it...
Yes !!!

I'm a newbie in winmo development. Here is my first contribution.
This application only works for mobile numbers in India -- sorry I dont have information for other countries.
This application displays the service provider and the location to which the caller (on incoming call) or callee (on outgoing calls) belongs.
This app should work on any phone running WinMo 5 or above. I've tested it only on my ASUS p320.
How To:
After installation just click on the shortcut from Programs. That's it. I've purposely not installed the shortcut in Startup folder to give full-control to the user to choose whether or not to run the app.
Sadly, there is easy no way to exit the app other than rebooting your phone - if you have applications like process explorer, you can terminate the process at your will.
Hope you will enjoy this app!
Man, if you can get this to work with numbers from other countries, this would be one hell of an app.
good work done by you its appreciated
Great Work Man
Great Work Man
hopefully we can get it working for the US and other countries!!
Thank you!

I had written a similar app for my previous phone on Linux. Based on request from others I tried figuring out if such a info exists for other countries. But apparently, it looks like not many countries have a numbering scheme like India where it is possible to figure out the location,service provider from the mobile number. Infact in the US, I read that a new numbering scheme allows the subscriber to retain the mobile number across service providers. So I am afraid if this would be possible at all for other countries . In India these numbers and their mappings are published and that's how the numbers are allotted to the service providers.
Damn that sucks to hear.
its nice app..thnx dude

Yes in Germany it's the same. You can take your mobile number (f.e. Vodafone) with you and use it by another service provider (f.e. T-Mobile).
For the US, we can at least match area code to state.
thanks, but am not sure if the same caller calls from other state will be identified by that states name....if it does, its gonna be wonderful

No it will not work. Even if the caller roams in another state/circle, his number remains the same. So my app will still show his original location -- it is not possible to figure out the current location of the caller.
i found bug here in my elfin all outgoing call show oprater an state but incoming calls not shown. how it work
sorry bad english
so if you u cant show while roaming....whats the use of this software...coz if u can easily find out with the number...which state it belongs to.anyway i appreciate the effort took 2 make the software...n im expecting many more...thanx....
actually im looking 4 software...with that i can findout the exact location of the caller...i mean by calling i want 2 no 4m where exactly is he callin.like in google map it shows my location..bt the same way i want calling persons locaton also...is their any sw associated with that?if so it wl b apprecaited...
Will try it and feedback, thanks bro.

It is not mentally easy to remember hundreds of mappings between numbers and service providers and location.. if you are smart enough to remember all those, you are free to do that -- this is for those like me who cant remember.
It is not possible technically to find out the "current" location of the caller.. that info is not available at all. Had it been available it would be a privacy breach. Google maps finds the location based on "your" cell phone tower. I bet (as of today in India atleast) there can be no software which can find the caller's "current" location.
hey great work dude......

If you have any other software that interprets and handles the incoming calls (like full screen caller id), my app may not work. It works based on the built-in incoming call window.
i know that it is available in india...coz i saw some add regarding that...i think it is samsung...not sure abt that..bt im sure that some1 is providing that also...
Hidden wifi networks are not showing and not able to connect, even after adding it manually.

I hide my own wifi network and then I check...It's not showing even after Adding it manually in settings..
Plz Help me..
You realise that the fastest solution is to simply "unhide" your router and connect to it that way. I cannot fathom why you would even want to hide a network. Just give it some really obscure and meaningless name.

Ya...But what about other networks that are hidden in my area which I want to access.
plz, tell me the solution what to do with Wifi...
Well - there we get down to the truth at last - it's not your hidden network - it's other peoples. Well - they hid it for a reason and there's likely no chance of you accessing it from a phone. If you want to do stuff like that, you'll need a real hackers toolkit - learn Linux and Metasploit. Good luck.
