Android delivering different Cell IDs (Neighboring Cell Info)
- by Curro
Hello. Using an Android Dev Phone 2, I'm using the GsmCellLocation.getCid() method to get the Cell ID on my network. When I run the command and get all the CellIDs for
the NeighboringCellInfo I get this values:
597195726
597185722
597195718
597110191
597101100
597175726
I'm running this using the SDK 1.6.
The problem is that when I run the Engineering Mode on a GSM modem
that I have, running a command to obtain the Neighboring Cell IDs, I
get this values:
34253
0
34223
34262
34181
0
What is the difference here? In what format is Android delivering the
Cell IDs?
I tried doing a "cell.getCid() & 0xffff" but now I'm getting the
values:
21690
31686
37068
11695
11694
31694
Which are still different from the one that the GSM Modem is
delivering with the Engineering Mode.
Obviously I tried this on at the same time, same location.
I'm trying to get the same Cell IDs that the external GSM modem I using is delivering
Please provide any help
Thanks in advance!
