[Om2008.9] AtChat talking every second to SIM
Hello, I was looking a bit through the output of logread and I'm asking me if it is normal (and necessary in the sense of power consumption) that 'qpe' is talking every second to the SIM to ask for the signal level of the GSM: Oct 21 11:34:28 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : T : AT+CSQ Oct 21 11:34:28 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : +CSQ: 20,99 Oct 21 11:34:28 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : OK Oct 21 11:34:30 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : T : AT+CSQ Oct 21 11:34:30 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : +CSQ: 20,99 Oct 21 11:34:30 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : OK Oct 21 11:34:32 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : T : AT+CSQ Oct 21 11:34:32 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : +CSQ: 20,99 Oct 21 11:34:32 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : OK Oct 21 11:34:34 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : T : AT+CSQ Oct 21 11:34:34 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : +CSQ: 20,99 Oct 21 11:34:34 om-gta02 user.notice root: AtChat : F : OK Any comment?

Thx every second (or two, as the case may be) might be a bit extreme, but this is just getting the signal quality. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, Qt Software, Nokia Pty Ltd ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I also noticed that without sim card, it keeps trying to communicate with it continuously. I do not know if it is resource consuming ? (is gsm off in such a case ? Or does it suck battery a little more ?) Polling SIM module wihtout card so often is not needed, especially since we cannot change SIM card without taking battery out (granted it could be done when plugged in) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
