How to change mobile device's Network Mode programmatically in Symbian^3

Comments

Jlnblade62 - How test this code ?

Hello,

Sorry for my english, i am french. I would try this code but i don't understand how do that.

I work on Qt SDK 1.1.4. I created a new Qt application for mobile and edited the .pro in order to add this : CAPABILITY NetworkControl LIBRARY etel.lib etelmm.lib customapi.lib

The first problem is the configuration... How and where add the different libs ? Moreover, how found this files :

1. include <etelmm.h>
2. include <e32property.h>
3. include <RMmCustomAPI.h>

I must define the EPOC path in the project in order to use this file ? If possible, can you give me a zip file that contains a project in order to study how work this code ?

Thanks.

Description

This article describes how to change the global network mode (UMTS/GSM/DualMode) programmatically.

Note: RMmCustomAPI is not part of the Symbian^3 public SDK. See the RMmCustomAPI Class Reference at symlab.org (a small archive/mirror site of symbian.org).

Solution

The following Capabilities and libraries are required:

CAPABILITY NetworkControl 

LIBRARY etel.lib etelmm.lib customapi.lib         

 #include <etelmm.h>
 #include <e32property.h>
 #include <RMmCustomAPI.h>
 
 // Class member variables         
 RMobilePhone iMobilePhone; 
 RTelServer iTelServer;
 TFileName iTsyName;
 RMmCustomAPI iCustomAPI;

Initialisation

 // In ConstructL()
 User::LeaveIfError(iTelServer.Connect()); 
 User::LeaveIfError(iTelServer.RTelServer::GetTsyName(0,iTsyName));
 User::LeaveIfError(iTelServer.LoadPhoneModule(iTsyName));
 TInt numPhones;
 User::LeaveIfError(iTelServer.EnumeratePhones(numPhones));
 
 if (numPhones < 1)
 User::Leave(KErrNotFound);
 
 // Get info about the first available phone
 RTelServer::TPhoneInfo info;
 User::LeaveIfError(iTelServer.GetPhoneInfo(0, info));
 
 //Use this info to open a connection to the phone	
 iMobilePhone.Open(iTelServer, info.iName);
 User::LeaveIfError(iCustomAPI.Open(iMobilePhone));

Changing the network mode

 TInt error = KErrNone;
 
 // To get the current network mode
 TUint32 currentNetworkModes;
 error = iCustomAPI.GetCurrentSystemNetworkModes(currentNetworkModes);
 
 // To set the Network Mode as GSM
 error = iCustomAPI.SetSystemNetworkMode(RMmCustomAPI::KCapsNetworkModeGsm);
 
 // To set the Network Mode as UMTS/3G
 error = iCustomAPI.SetSystemNetworkMode(RMmCustomAPI::KCapsNetworkModeUmts);

Releasing resources

 iMobilePhone.Close();
 iTelServer.Close();
