Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / August 2004Modding a Phone for Net Monitoring
Does anyone know how to enable a Net Monitor mode on U.S. spec 1900 band GSM phones, and which phones would let you do it? Net Monitor or Net Watch mode is that when the user sees the base station numbers, channels and signal strength on the phone's screen. > Does anyone know how to enable a Net Monitor mode on U.S. spec 1900 > band GSM phones, and which phones would let you do it?

Every DCT-3 Nokia handset (e.g. 3390, 8890, etc) should suit your needs, as NM is resident in the public firmware of those phones (which is no longer the case as far as the current DCT-4 generation is concerned). The NM activation (i.e.you have to turn the relevant bit from 0 to 1 in order to display the netmonitor menu - you can easely do it with the free trial version of Logomanager, see http://www.logomanager.co.uk ) can be achieved through IrDA (8890) or unofficial data cable for the 3390 (search google with "3390 data cable"). The main problem will be to find out an "old" DCT-3...  SignatureOlivier Hi Olivier! Thanks a lot for the advise. I ordered a used 5190 unit, U.S. spec, - hopefully it would work. > Every DCT-3 Nokia handset (e.g. 3390, 8890, etc) should suit your needs, as > NM is resident in the public firmware of those phones (which is no longer [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Olivier > Thanks a lot for the advise. You're welcome ! > I ordered a used 5190 unit, U.S. spec, - > hopefully it would work. It certainly will. You'll simply need a RS-6110 data cable (or equivalent) to activate NM. It's quite easy to find one on the net. If you find a cable made for the European version of this phone family (5110/5130, 6110/6150) it will work too, as the hardware is basically the same (only the RF module changes). SignatureOlivier |
