@peterleinchen, you are spreading your coordinates anyway (through your IP address - granted not as accurate as cell tower location).

If you are concerned, you can always go offline before running cellnet-info.

Well, simple "toggle" in options to enable or disable enhanced info (*needs internet connection) wouldn't hurt.

Hey ade,
I found a small bug/glitch.
When you have a network connection, but that network does not provide full internet access (like behind the "Great Firewall"), then after trying to fetch location info, the program is frozen and needs a restart.
Thanks.

I now tried to include a 10 seconds timeout.
As the autobuilder is stuck frequently (version 0.0.1-6 which fixes a utf-8 issue is still waiting there), could you try cellnet-info_0.0.1-7 for me?
Thanks in advance.

Hey ade,
sorry to say that this does not fix the behaviour.
I tried it with 1-6 (which I was informed about to update a week ago) at home, but could not reproduce. So I reinstalled to 1-5, but could also not reproduce (tinkering with local ad-hoc WLAN and my hosts file).
Either it worked or I got a pop up.
But today I passed a WiFi Hotspot and here I could reproduce it.
After pushing "current cellular info" the app is still responding to button pushes, but no action happens anymore. Seems like a endless loop/timeout in background.
So my guess is you check via nslookup (or similar) for resolving of hostname and if successful, then try to fetch info? This would explain behaviour I have seen, as this hotspot needs some http site access/registration before you have real internet access. Would like to check myself in sources, but I am a bit handycapped atm.

For the record: you did test with cellnet-info version 0.0.1-7 (found in the attachment)? Because that's the one I adapted for this, and you are mentioning reinstalling version 0.0.1-5..

Sorry to barge in like this but don't all net-aware apps suffer the same thing at public hotspots with a login portal? That's at least my experience: email doesn't update. navigation apps can't find themselves, Skype can't log on... until you go to the damn portal and type your creds.
FWIW, I have installed 0.0.1-7 from the attachment and it works fine but I have yet to try it at a local supermarket with such a hotspot.
BTW all versions consistently show the cell tower location about 8" (about 8 miles or 13 km) off. That's of course a database error, not yours but I wonder how do such things happen? My provider moved a tower and forgot to update the database?
