A small change

zhai — Sun, 11 May 2008 15:08:16 +0200

In the source code :
// Pop descriptor from cleanup stack
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy( nameHeap);
}
// } Redundant symbols
else{//panic
}

iBroadcastMsg.Close();
iPhone.Close();
iServer.UnloadPhoneModule( KGsmModuleName );
iServer.Close();
*******************************************************************
Since stdio.h is present in epocroot\epoc32\include\libc, right click on test (project) -> properties. In the tools settings tab, -> System Include paths ->click the + button and add this"$EPOCROOTepoc32\include\libc".----need to change
"${EPOCROOT}epoc32\include\libc"

In the same tools settings tab->GCC98 Linker First stage.Under that general options.There will be a list of libraries. Again click the '+' button and add the following libs "$EPOCROOTepoc32\release\armi\urel\estlib.lib" "$EPOCROOTepoc32\release\armi\urel\etel.lib" "$EPOCROOTepoc32\release\armi\urel\etelmm.lib" "$EPOCROOTepoc32\release\armi\urel\efsrv.lib"

Need to rewrite ?

I am trying to build the 'test' project by following the procedure given by Sam Tam On February 10th, 2007.
I am trying this for N70 (Using S60 2nd edition FP3 SDK), Using Carbide C/C++, Ver-1.2

Getting two issues:
1.One of the step says: "Now in the test\group\test.mmp file. There will be something called "LIBRARY" add the following to it : LIBRARY etelmm.lib LIBRARY etel.lib and save it."

I did not see any LIBRARY "etelmm.lib" in the ADD Library window.

2. Another step syas: "right click on test (project) -> properties. In the tools settings tab".

But i did not see any C/C++ build-> tools setting tab on the right.

Could anybody please send your comments on it?

This code was tested on Nokia6600,Nokia6630 its working fine. The application will close in N70,N72 while using same code.
if any problems in this code rectefy and reply back me.

Am not aware about J2ME.
You can try asking here or on Forum Nokia J2ME specific sub-forum.

bytes 3-4 can be used to get message identifier which is helpful if you want to get messages from some specific channel:

TUint16 identifier = (iGsmMsgdata[3] << 3) | iGsmMsgdata[4];
if (identifier == 401) // this cbm is from location channel "050"
{
// decode from byte 7 to byte 88 as shown in article.
}

cheers

Hello All-
I am new to Symbian development, and although there was a posting detailing how to setup the dev environ for S60 2nd edition,
I would like to know if there is an equivalent (ported) code for the S60 3rd edition platform. I am using a Nokia E50 and Carbide C++ for development.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Mayur,

Some useful information to share with all....

I have tested your application successfully on Nokia 6600, 6670 and 6630 with Idea, Hutch and Airtel.

An important thing that I have found is that to get the location string immediately you need to do the following steps, it will surely give the location name within maximum 2-3 mins:

---> Set the "Cell Info Display" option on your phone "Off".

---> Restart your phone.

---> Now start NetInfo and lo! you will get the location string sooner than you expected...

Implementation with CActive

jp4symbian — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:26:57 +0200

Hi Mayur,
First of all thank u so much for this valuable code.
I am trying to implement it with CActive, but it is taking too long to fetch the Location Name. Most of the times it goes in an infinite wait state.

So i thought of canceling the request and issuing it again repeatedly. But the request is not getting canceled at all!!

Can u plz tell me what the problem is out here?

Isn't it possible to cancel the request issued using ReceiveMessage as issued in ur code?

I tried it but could not succeed .

Can any one help me .

There are many posts on this forum and other Symbian developer forums about getting the location string as shown on the Phone application. So I set myself with a mission to retrieve the location string....
