can you get me a working source code copy using MobInfo api for 6600. The test .sis that came with api works in my 6600. But i could not get a clear source code.

Re: how to use gsmadv.dll to get imsi

Is there really a way to get IMSI on 6600 or i have to give up. My academic project is actually hanging on this...

Quote from: zanisan

you can get the imsi on nokia 6630 with the gsmadv library together with
etelagsm.h

etelagsm.h apis are not public, it describes extra member functions available inside the gsmadv.dll distributed with 6600 and 6630.
To obtain the header file I had to download a sample application
"sinfo60.zip" (search with google where to download it) but this
sample application is not retrieving the IMSI, so I just got the
headers files.

To use them i copied some code from
http://forum.newlc.com/viewtopic.php?t=3904&highlight=radvgsmphone

this a snipplet from my code: i copied the header in a local directory called
"extra"
..
#include "..\..\extra\etelagsm.h"
...
void GetImeiOrImsi(TDes8& aValue, TBool& isImsi)
{
#ifndef __WINS__
   // try first to read the IMSI
   RTelServer iServer;
   RAdvGsmPhone iPhone;
   RTelServer::TPhoneInfo info;

   // Connect to the telephony server and load the TSY.
   User::LeaveIfError(iServer.Connect());
   CleanupClosePushL(iServer);

   _LIT(KTsyName, "phonetsy.tsy");
   User::LeaveIfError(iServer.LoadPhoneModule(KTsyName));

   // Get the details for the first (and only) phone.
   User::LeaveIfError(iServer.GetPhoneInfo(0, info));

   // Open the phone.
   User::LeaveIfError(iPhone.Open(iServer, info.iName));
   CleanupClosePushL(iPhone);

   TRequestStatus status;
   MAdvGsmPhoneInformation::TSubscriberId myId;

Â Â Â Â // get the imsi
   iPhone.GetSubscriberIdNS(status, myId);

   _LIT8(KFormatDecimal, "size of subscriberId:%u");
   TBuf8<200> imeiString;
   imeiString.Format(KFormatDecimal,myId.Length());
   // trace it ReportMessage(imeiString);

   TBuf<200> x;
   TInt i=0;
   aValue.Zero();
   _LIT8(KFlwFormat,"%u");
   for(i=0; i<myId.Length();i++)
   {
      aValue.Append(myId[i]);
   }
   // trace it ReportMessage(aValue);

   CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(&iPhone);
   User::LeaveIfError(iServer.UnloadPhoneModule(KTsyName));

   CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(&iServer);

   if (myId.Length() == 0)
   {
      // get the imei then
      // This only works on target machine
      TPlpVariantMachineId imei;
      PlpVariant::GetMachineIdL(imei);
      aValue.Copy(imei);
      isImsi = EFalse;
   }
   else
   {
      // imsi is already inside aValue
      isImsi = ETrue;
   }

#else
   // Return a fake IMEI when working on emulator
   _LIT8(KEmulatorImei, "123456789012345");
   aValue.Copy(KEmulatorImei);
   isImsi = EFalse;
#endif
}

....

this code do not compile with original etelagsm because the important
function:
iPhone.GetSubscriberId(status, myId); is not defined like this
inside the real gsmadv.dll that is inside the phones, how did i know?
i decompiled the gsmadv.lib library delivered with the sdk 2.0

I found on the internet how to extract the list of functions declared inside
a symbian library:
read
Â Â http://www.newlc.com/article.php3?id_article=530

then by ispecting the extracted file i discovered that the members i needed
(the one not public) were still exported and available but symbian (or nokia?) Â obfuscated their names by adding "NS" at the endÂ¨
So I renamed the member (iPhone.GetSubscriberId->iPhone.GetSubscriberIdNS)
and I had to change the name also inside the original header file (etelagsm.h)
doing this is working on 6630 and return lenght 0 on 6600.

The API works fine for me - try the example app available from:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/getDocument.do?docId=68337

Notice though that the source is riddled with errors, so you might need to remove references to activehello.rsg etc. before it will actually compile.

restoring old post...

I can't compile this example:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/getDocument.do?docId=68337

error:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `\Symbian\UIQ_21\EPOC32\INCLUDE\ACTIVEHELLO.RSG', needed by `..\..\..\EPOC32\BUILD\SYMBIAN\UIQ_21\UIQEXAMPLES\MOBINFOTEST\GROUP\MOBINFOTEST\ARMI\UREL\CMOBINFOTESTAPPVIEW.o'.Â Stop.

Any clue?

I created the ABLD.BAT before using BLDMAKE BLDFILES as stated in that page, but then the ABLD.... command gives this error.

You can copy them over from Symbian 6.1 SDK. They work OK (at least the ARMI one does)

Hi All,

Please let me know, where I could get gsmadv.lib, compatible with 6630 or I would be great if some one can send it to me.
It is very urgent.

Thanks in Advance

hi andreh, i tried compiling your code, but i can't...
i already installed the mobinfo installer
but i keep on getting this error ..Â Â Â
"\Symbian\Series60_1_2_B\EPOC32\RELEASE\WINSB\UDEB\MOBINFO.LIB"' does not exist - don't know how to make it
what could possibly be wrong?

btw, pardon me for asking that.. i'm still a beginner..

hi Jumpjack are you able to call a sis file in J2ME

I'm not exactly talking about J2ME but PersonalJava.
What do you mean by "call a SIS file"? SIS file is an archive, just like a ZIP file.

Do somebody know how I could access mobinfo.dll functionalities from a java program? I know that PersonalJava CAN access C++ libraries, but I don't understand HOW.

I need to know exact battery status, as my UIQ phone (Motorola A1000) only shows 4 values: empty, full, 1/3 and 2/3, while other phones like p800/p900 shows exact percentage, very more useful.
