@danielwilms, it's getting tricky when you want use gps and read cell id at the same time :)

If you just want to use the cell id to get the location, then you should use the location framework, because this is what it does. Or what do you want to do with the cell id?

That's right. Have a look here. Further it is always better in terms of stability of the API to use the high-level APIs if it exists.

That's cool, but I'm not seeing python-liblocation examples on that page.

i tried Ima's script which worked nicely. however, in the information returned, can someone please tell me what is the cid and what is the lac? those two seems to have being returned as a single value...

also, how would one make this something that's running in the background and just log everything to a file?

would something like screen work on the n900? could i just do

python cid.py > logfile.log?

Its on the PyMaemo wiki pages:

http://wiki.maemo.org/PyMaemo/Using_Location_API

Unfortunately the Cell ID information part is still not implemented in python-location (not the correct package name).

PS: as a general tip, you can see Python related wiki pages by checking the Python category:

I have been looking at the location example you quoted above and get the following error.
Quote:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "location.py", line 1, in <module>
import location
File "/home/user/location.py", line 25, in <module>
control = location.GPSDControl.get_default()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'GPSDControl'
Any sugestions what I am doing wrong?

rename your script to something else and don't forget to delete the compiled version (if exists)

Correct. Furthermore, I added a small note to that page as this mistake is now common:

Hi Guy's

I have been checking out Lma's script from page1, it appear that when in 3G coverage args[2] shows the global cell id (unique with in network) this can be split in the following way to retrieve the RNC Id.

Upper 12 bits RNC/ Lower 16 bits Cell
i.e
52455502
001100100000 - 0110100001001110
800 - 26702

Also args[1] = LAC

Hope this helps anyone working on this.
