Any workarounds for CellID non-update during calls?

[ykasidit]

Dear Sirs & Experts,

(The cell ID is not updated during voice calls... but almost immediately updated when the call hung-up/ended.)

Regarding this known issue "KIS000620 - Location information (Cell ID) not available during active network usage":

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._network_usage

It is said that "In some situations canceling the pending network information change notification request followed by a call for retrieving the current network information can help restore the device’s location awareness."

>> Does anyone know which "situations" are those? I tried (Yes, I tried searching the forum a lot...) that method and it's still not working on any phones I tested yet: E61, N73

It is said that "This problem is expected to be fixed in future firmware releases."
(Date identified: April 16, 2007)

>> Please please, anyone knows when this would be fixed? I just updated the N73 firmware today (17 May 2008) but still observed the same problem.

Does anyone know a workaround for this problem?


Apart from using CTelephony, I also tried using AT commands but still facing the same problem...



Best Sincere Regards,
Chad.

Dear Forum Nokia Experts! Please help!

Bought a new phone: 6120 classic (V 03.83;19-06-07;RM-243 can't update firmware because updater says already up-to-date) but the problem still persists - the cell-id reported from CTelephony does not change while in-call even going for long distances but it would change/update as soon as I hang-up.

However, on this phone the cell-id is reported during gprs/edge usage (it used to fail or result in 0 in N73 and E61) but I don't know (didn't test) if it changes or not.

Please please help.
