CellID not working on s60v3

[larshove1]

Hi

When I read the "loc" variable in Python Script Shell it returns the correct cellID values. But when I read the values from "/mod_python/py/raccoonloc.py/getLoc" in a webbrowser it returns (0,0,0,0) all the time.

Python and the three .usis files are all signed with valid certificates and everything seems to work besides from the cellID values.

I'm using Raccoon version 0.9.2 and Python 1.3.23 on a Nokia e65.

What can I do to make it work with the correct cellID values?

That seems to be the output of the raccoonloc.py script. I meant the output of the location demo that is included among the Raccoon concept demos.

It says:

My Location (mcc, mnc, lac, cell) is: None

Hmm, that's the behavior you get if the application does not have enough capabilities.

I don't mean to patronize, but you are absolutely certain you have signed Raccoon with a developer certificate and that you've installed the developer certificate signed binaries?

Yes, I'm absolutely certain. I've signed a lot of apps before with my dev certificate without any problems. I've just tried the whole process again (create new certificate, signing all 3 unsigned dev files + python) and install them on phone. Installed the s60v3 raccoonloc.py file. But still the same problem.

Actually, the first time I tried when I've just installed Raccoon for the first time - it worked for about 5 minutes. Strange...

[larshove1]

Btw. everything else is working on the concept demos page.

I've just tried to remove webcontent, httpdconf and Raccoon. Boot the phone. Sign them again and install them, but still the same...

Then I'm at loss what the problem could be. Especially this

doesn't make any sense. Capabilities are assigned when the software is built and don't change over time, so what has been possible once should remain so.

Hi,

The raccoonloc.py script fetches the cell id like this:

	def readLocation(self) :
		loc = location.gsm_location()
		if (loc is not None):
			(self.mcc, self.mnc, self.lac, self.cellid) = loc
		else:
			# 3rd Ed. S60 phone return None without certificate
			(self.mcc, self.mnc, self.lac, self.cellid) = (0, 0, 0, 0)

Since your XML reply had all mcc, mnc, lac and ci values as 0 it seems
the the script didn't get the reply from the location.gsm_location() call.
Since you have a valid certificate then there must be something strange
going on with the phone. As an extreme effort you might flash the phone
with the newest SW. That might help or not...

Hi Timo

Thank you for your answer. I already got the latest firmware and tried everything possible without luck. So for now I'm going to give up :-(

I found the problem.

The dev cert requires an ACS publisher ID which is not included with the free dev cert. The ACS publisher ID costs 350$/year.

My understanding is that the Symbian Developer Certificate does not need ACS publisher ID. You can get the Developer certificate and sign applications with it. But with the limitation that the signed application only works on your own phone.

(With ACS id you could sign application and then distribute it for everyone to use).

With these instruction I managed to get the Raccoon working on my N80:

I agree to Timo. Signing with the Symbian Developer Certificate works on your own phone only and is time limited (6 months if I remember correctly, but it is definitely free.

Not quite so.

There are different kinds of devcerts. If you don't have an ACS Publisher ID you can get only the free devcert that works on one device. If you have an ACS Publisher ID you can attach more devices to the devcert and get access to manufacturer capabilities, but even then you still can't sign code yourself that would work on all phones and would have more than user-grantable capabilities. That always requires submitting your application to Symbian Signed testing.

Note that the officially signed 1.4.0 package is directly usable, with no resigning.
