Thanks for the report! Helps a lot.

reselecting cells isn't an error or unusual behaviour. In fact that's what the 
phone is supposed to do, as long as it's two BTS with same signal-level, and 
the phone doesn't *transmit* every time to re-associate to the network

Please see Wolfgang's mail about NDA. Cable probably needs another pinout for 
the 2.5mm jack, if anything.

Perhaps it would be good to collect some more specific reports of the
kind of settings ?

This seems to be a bit similar to the WLAN problems that eventually
turned out to be linked to having multiple access points, but the
picture remained vague until we had a large enough number of fairly
detailed usage stories.

With GSM, things are more complex, because it's harder to know what
the network is like. But getting a first overview may help to find the
next, more specific questions to ask, etc.

That doesn't fit my experience of #1024. I get intermittent reregistration 
problems with Orange, t-mobile and O2 in the UK, although it has the t-mobile 
SIM in most of the time. The O2 SIM has only been working since moko10 was 
released, and I haven't done much with it. There is no pattern to the day, or 
the time of day, that I have spotted. I have never had the trouble you 
describe when making calls. The reregistrations can be regular every ~20 
seconds, or irregularly at larger intervals. The regular reregistrations 
trigger the detection in ogsmd, but the irregular ones do not occur 
frequently enough to trigger it.

IIRC I have good signal strength from at least 3 cells, of which the stronger 
two have similar signal strength. The phone often moves seamlessly between 
these two, occasionally switching to the third. I have only looked at this in 
detail once and I don't remember if it was Orange or t-mobile.

I am happy to record some logs if you can make PCO2 available to me, and could 
solder up the required cable if given the pinouts. If I'm lucky it'll be the 
same as for the Neuros OSD cable that's around here somewhere.

Hi Clare

Unfortunately once again CanNotDup here isn't a matter of not having a device 
with this issue (all FR are same FW), but CND is caused by the fact we see a 
different GSM-provider/network situation here than you do in your place.

So either you should send your GSM-basestation you are registering with ;-D,
or Dieter had to come to visit you and your GSM-BS.

Are you living in an area where many people use their cellphone, but only few 
BS around? We have some cloudy theory this might be a trigger for #1024.
A very good indication would be #1024 showing up on certain daytime while 
never seen at deep in the night. Another indicator for a situation matching  
our "crowded-BS"-theory is an occasional failure of non-FR cellphones to 
connect an outbound call (unusual "busy" on dialing out, or just nothing 
happens when you push green button), so you would have to retry until a 
resource (channel) is free at BS.
