- Hello
I do try to find Cell ID,MNC,MCC and LAC by using GPRSInfo.getCellInfo(). I compiled it with simulator and tried the program on three different Blackberry simulator(BlackBerry 8800-02, 9500 Vodophone, 9630) which I believe that they
have GPS. Unforunately, all the values seem to equal to 0. I do not think my code is wrong. You can see the code below. Could you please tell me a way to see exact values of Cell ID, MNC, MCC and LAC? Do I need to find a real Blackberry telephone
(which does support GPS) ? I can'T do it by using simulators? I would be so glad if you can assist me. Thank you in advance.
The code that I use to find out Cell ID, MNC, MCC and LAC:
Code:int CellId=GPRSInfo.getCellInfo().getCellId(); int LAC=GPRSInfo.getCellInfo().getLAC(); int MCC=GPRSInfo.getCellInfo().getMCC(); int MNC=GPRSInfo.getCellInfo().getMNC(); String CellId1=Integer.toString(CellId); String LAC1=Integer.toString(LAC); String MCC1=Integer.toString(MCC); String MNC1=Integer.toString(MNC); String CellId2 = System.getProperty("CellID"); String LAC2 = System.getProperty("LocAreaCode"); add(new RichTextField("Hello World!")); add(new RichTextField("Cell ID is="+CellId1)); add(new RichTextField("LAC1 is="+LAC1)); add(new RichTextField("MCC1 is="+MCC1)); add(new RichTextField("MNC1 is="+MNC1)); add(new RichTextField("MNC is="+MNC)); add(new RichTextField("Cell ID2 is="+CellId2)); add(new RichTextField("LAC2 is="+LAC2));

And on the side note - it is worth checking the official blackberry dev forums (unfortunately I still cannot paste links, but you can just search for it )
