Re: network registration from NEO! please help!

2008-03-17 Thread Michael Shiloh

Erin,

Thanks for kicking this off. So far, I'm the only one experiencing this 
problem. I'd like to find out if there is some invisible Faraday cage 
that moves with me, or if it a larger problem.


In general, cross-posting is not useful. After this email, let's 
restrict this discussion to the devel list, although anyone interested 
is welcome to join, whether a developer or not.


I'd like to add another type of question:

How did you purchase your SIM card? For instance, did it come with an 
AT&T provided cellphone, or was it a card-only option like prepaid? Did 
you buy it at an AT&T store or other?


And, just to test one of my theories, did it come with an AT&T iPhone?

Perhaps also, when did you buy it? One theory is that this depends on 
when you purchased your SIM card.


I saw in later email that someone set up a wiki page. I will report my 
experience for my 3 SIM Cards now.

Hi List,

We'd like to ask your kindly helps on network registration by using your 
NEO devices. Particularly, the network from T-Mobile in UK, AT&T in USA, 
and Vodafone in Germany, since we've heard some problems about network 
registration. It's difficult to camp the network by using some specific 
SIM cards. If you are willing to update your network status with us, we 
really appreciate from your works. Thanks a lot! :)


Our questions as below:

1. What NEO device you are using? GTA01 or GTA02

2. Where is your location and what is your network provider? eg. 
T-Mobile, San Francisco in USA


3. When you boot the NEO, how long it takes to register the network? eg. 
in normal case, it should be able to register to a network in 1~2 
minutes immediately.


4. What is your GSM firmware version? you can get this number by an AT 
command. Using SSH to your NEO, then type this command:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
libgsm-tool - (C) 2006-2007 by Harald Welte and OpenMoko, Inc.
This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY

AT+CGMR
STR=`AT+CGMR'
RSTR=`+CGMR: "HW: GTA02BV5, GSM: 
gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko6"'


5. What is your IMEI code? by this AT command like previous steps.
AT+CGSN
STR=`AT+CGSN'
RSTR=`+CGSN: 000'

6. if NEO takes over 3 minutes to register to the network or it just 
re-register to the network again and again. Please attach your gsm log 
file ('/tmp/gsm.log') to our bugzilla, we already created a bug for this 
issue.

2008-03-17 Thread Kyle Bassett
In addition, I would recommend testing the specific SIM cards, as some
people have purchased a SIM just for the GTA01/02.  Add a column in the wiki
for ("Verified", "Unknown" SIM card functionality status)?

RF-emission interference?
Sure you already tested GTA02 with external GSM-antenna.
And checked if other cellphone normally working with a "bad" card starts to 
fail when GTA02 is near.

Re: network registration from NEO! please help!

2008-03-17 Thread joerg
Is this a simcard-issue or a basestation related problem?
Will "bad" cards show same behaviour when roaming to a different provider's 
network; will "good" cards start to oscillate when roaming to this exact cell 
where the T-mobile cards go nuts?
Or has there to be both, bad T-Mobile card PLUS bad T-mobile cell base 
station?

How can a GTA01 be different than GTA02, if they have same GSM firmware?
http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1024#c9

Reporters should include serial number printed on the simcard.
