Problems in Getting Cell Ids and Signal Strengths

[hilalnuha]

Hi,
I am making an application in symbian c++ which can determine the MS position using signal strength in all detected networks with a pathloss formula. i have the needed header(Hwtricks.dll, hwtricks.hpp, etc) to get cell id and signl str, but i can not use the function(ValueL()) to get the those things, the compiler(CBX) said that i didnt have the library hwtricks.lib, can you help me in this problem?

What phone are you targeting and where have you got that dll from?

i got it from n-gage. my target is a 6600, OS 7, i dont know where should i put the dll. in my include library folder, i cant find the hwtricks.lib, or i should make the lib?

You are not supposed to move dlls from one SDK to another. And if the SDK vendor does not provide the *.lib with the SDK it can only mean that you are not supposed to use that library.

so, anyone knows how to get those values without using hwtricks? i used to use the etelbgsm header, but i dont know how to use the functions since i dont have the documentation or examples?

Why don't you use official API releases and their documentation? Like the Mobinfo 3rd Party Telephony Library ...

This link describes several ways of getting GSM info like Signal Strength, Cell Tower ID, Lac ............

There is nothing new in your blog post. One thing would be interesting to know though: do you have Nokia's permission to redistribute that header file? If not, please remove it and instead advice your users to use the material advertised by me on post #6. Thank you!
