Cell Broadcast Info

[lampard]

Has anyone found a software tool that will show Cell Broadcast Info, as what the average nokia phone will do. Have played around with tracelog, but would ideally like a today plugin that displayed the info.

AFAIK, under Settings -> Phone -> More tab, you can setup the cell broadcast channel you are interested it.

However the annoying thing is, as cell broadcast messages are basically SMSes, pocketpc basically regards them as normal SMS messages, and store them into your Inbox.

And yes, a pluging for Today sounds like a very good idea. :wink:

P.S. I can never get anything out of the TraceLogger... what have you set to make it do/show something?

The thing to which you are refering is an "enhancement" that the networks can make to provide value added features such as news & weather reports. It's use is dependant on whether its been implemented by the network. That cell will just send any info its programmed with to any unit that has the facility switched on/enabled.

I think that Lampard is after Cell ID type stuff. Rest assured that if you follow the instructions in This Thread (http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1235) you can obtain a readout in real-time of your current cell id + some other bits. Its a case of running the tracelogger & then start-up the tracelog viewer after, otherwise it doesn't work, only reporting historical.

I'm afraid I do not know of any other available programs to make use of or display this info.
