So 25 would be almost half strength? I'm getting values between 12 and 18 so that's not very good but my phone service isn't always stable. Is strength a linear function, or some quadratic, logarithmic, ...? Recieved Field Level is measured in decibels (range of 000 to 127 dBm) so the strength should be logarithmic. What is the maximum? 52? You would have to be very close to get that, I'm sure. How to find out which cell is on house of my neighbor? There are some tools for accessing the Cellhunter database at the bottom of the website - http://ch.omoco.de/cellhunter/ I think you would have to download the CSV GPS and plot/filter the points to find which cell covers which house. I know this tool... But cell I was searching is not there, so I try it by my self. Has cell on one house only one MNC, or are there splits for the provider? Each SIM card can only pick up one MNC/network but one house may be covered by several networks/MNC. Are there possibilities to find out how much provider are on one house? OpenBmap have a map for their database: http://realtimeblog.free.fr/with_osm4.php Very very THANKS!

Is 25 much? It comes from the FSO library that allows access to the GSM hardware ( http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.GSM.Monitor.html;hb=HEAD#GetNeighbourCellInformation ).

Not only can it NOT turn on when the battery has little or no charge, the APM service does not turn the phone off to prevent this (note: all OTHER phones I have ever used WILL turn off when the battery gets below some critical level). I'd like to add here that the OTHER phones generalisation probably isn't correct. My previous handheld device was a Zire 72 Palm Pilot and it does exactly the same as the Freerunner (allows itself to die only to be saved by a 16+ hour USB trickle charge) with the notable exception that you can't access the battery without opening the case. And my current 3G/UMTS phone has DRM on the powercharger. You can only use an authorised charger else it shuts down after a minute of charging when the authentication fails. Feel proud that an Open phone can be powered by it's own brand, a competing brand (Nokia) or just some wires and common batteries ;-) ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
