GSM 11.14 is a can of worms. It ties into a lot of subsystems all over the 
device. While Openmoko is still experimenting with and working on these 
subsystems (let alone UI), it makes no sense thinking about implementing 
11.14. However, once the middleware has been stabilized (hopefully towards 
autumn this year), someone could actually think about that.

If some operator wants that and provides a clean patch using the middleware 
services -- which would be a requirement, we don't want STK circumvent 
that -- then I see no problems with accepting such a patch. I don't see 
Openmoko doing anytime soon though.

home zone functionality

2008-04-17 Thread Matthias Lohr
Hello everyone,

I didn't find an answer to my question. I had a look at the wish list for the 
FreeRunner and wanted to add a software feature but wasn't allowed to edit the 
page so I'm writing it in this mailing list.
I'm german and using o2. It offers the so called Homezone which is a area you 
can define the center. When in this area (depending on GSM cells) you can give 
and receive calls with a additionaly provided fixed line number at lower 
charge. So my question is: is this feature already in the todo list? Since 
Vodafone and T-Mobile is offering an equivalent service for about one or two 
years now I think that it would be worth to implement this.

Thank you for the great work!! Can't wait to get it!!

Best regards,
Matthias

This seems like a feature of the network, not of the phone, and doesn't  
require any special support from the phone.


And a quite strange feature, frankly. I'm not sure I understand the  
advantage of having one more number that only works sometimes, while in  
reality I strive for quite the opposite: having just one number that I can  
always be reached at, instead of having to tell people my home/office/etc  
numbers.


This location-based approach is also quite counter to the current trend:  
with the modern technologies, it matters less and less where you  
physically are. It started with the very concept of a mobile phone and  
later continued with GSM roaming. These days some countries, like Norway,  
remove area codes and establish the same rate for calling any phone in the  
country. Finally, various VoIP technologies make it completely irrelevant  
where you are as long as you have an internet connection.


This Homezone offer looks like a marketing trick to encourage people to  
talk slightly more and squeeze another penny out of them; it doesn't add  
any value and is, in fact, a way of selling air. It will eventually die  
along with the death of the very concept of home phone.

Sorry for the unprecise question...
I know about the home announcing when you begin a call, I used it because my 
imported mobile phone doesn't have the house symbol. But it would be nicer to 
get the house on the phone, although it's just an unimportant feature. I have 
no idea how it works. But it shouldn't be a problem for a phone company to get 
the specs.

Re: home zone functionality

2008-04-17 Thread Kiro Zimmer
Hello List,

this is my first post to this list, but I read it for over a year now ;-)

If i remember correctly, on the SIM-Card is an center and an radius
defined and stored. These values are renewable via SMS, but this is only
done by the network operator when you change your Homezone to another
city.

In germany in the o2-network every antenna sends its own coordinates in
form of a 12 digit number called Gauss Krüger Koordinaten [1] [2] on cell
broadcast channel 221. The SIM calculates, if it is inside the circle
which is defined by center and radius and displays via the SIM-toolkit a
picture (house) on the display of the phone.

If you want to know more about this, you should look at nobbi.com where
I found this information years ago. He has developed a Software called
SIMspy2 [2] (windows binary only), which can read these stored
coordinates, but there are sources too for an older version of it [4].

And for the hackers of you, AFAIK you can change the coordinates in your
SIM by sending a special SMS to your phone, but this changes only the
coordinates on your phone. The real billing is done via the network
operator and is indepndent from what your phone thinks he is at
home :-)

To see how such a homezone works, have a look at my homezone [5].
Note the values center(X,Y) and radius on the page.

Kiro

AT+CRSM=176,28512,0,0,123 (was Re: home zone functionality)

2008-04-17 Thread Kiro Zimmer
... some additional informations

According to [1] the AT-command AT+CRSM=176,28512,0,0,123
should list the stored (and encoded) homezone values. This works on my 
very old Siemens M35 but not on any newer phone I have tried, even when 
the same SIM was used. So this AT-command seems to be phone specific.

Does anybody know how this command is implemented on other phones?

If we find a generic version of this call, we could simply write an 
software-applet, which show the current homezone-status -- even with a 
picture of a house :-)

Many of those type of AT commands are gsm-modem specific. Many of them 
are far from AT standard and are implemented only in modems of that 
manufacturer.
Google for M35 modem specification in PDF and then for such command in 
offical AT commands set.

No, the AT+CRSM command is not phone specific. It is a standardised command as 
all AT+Cxxx commands. First 'But' - it is 'optional' ;-)
For more information about this command you should consult an actual version of 
ETSI TS 100 916, which specifies the 'AT Command set for GSM Mobile Equipment

 Does anybody know how this command is implemented on other phones?
