Re: Engineering Field Mode (EFEM) in A780 Sorry, Silvio I didn't want to bless your suceptibility......
I never said my solution was the best, I only said that in my job it was easier.
Edge is a new (for Orangecaraibe) 8PSK technology that needs good microwave propagation / high signal level. When it decreases the transmission between cellphone and BTS go back to GPRS (GMSK cs4) falling from 200kbits/s to 40k.
For a network developper, pinging, tracking cells, getting QoS is quite a permanent action since the beginning of Edge.
We do use the Ericsson's TEMS system based on GPS + Cellphone Tems + PC and a car following a predefine way to register and then analyse the quality, but its very "Heavy" to start.
With Nokia's Netmonitor or Motorola's Efem it's easier.
So even if you didn't wanted to know why I had to ping whyle driving or doing something else.
With the old 8700 you had only to dial PPP113P1P and efem was active definitively. With the A780 if you reset your cell or exit the Efem you have to begin again. That's why a shortcut is easier for me.
