Hello

I have a problem with the way location in Blackberry cellsite.

I have created an application to get the data through this location, but the listener never gets positions. What is the problem?

Features of interest:

Model: Pearl 9100 blakberry
OS: Blackberry OS v5.0.0.532
Service Provider: Vodafone Spain
Type device network: GSM

Instead, if I use the type of GPS tracking

myCriteria = new BlackBerryCriteria (GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_AUTONOMOUS);

No problems.

Reading several articles on the internet say the location cellsite not support GSM, is that true?

If it so, what methods Blackberry provides for a location without using GPS (without GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_AUTONOMOUS) using GSM networks?

thank you very much

I've tested and I've created

BlackBerryCriteria BlackBerryCriteria bbCriteria = new ();
bbCriteria.setMode (GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE);

and the listener does not get positions.

however if I use

BlackBerryCriteria BlackBerryCriteria bbCriteria = new ();
bbCriteria.setMode (GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_AUTONOMOUS);

the listener gets perfectly positions.

Features of interest:

Model: Pearl 9100 blakberry
OS: Blackberry OS v5.0.0.532
Service Provider: Vodafone Spain
Device Network Type: GSM

The questions I ask are:

1. BlackBerryCriteria BlackBerryCriteria bbCriteria = new ();
bbCriteria.setMode (GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE);
can obtain positions with GSM devices?

2. Vodafone Spain allows GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE?

3. If you update the operating system to Blackberry OS 6 and used
BbCriteria BlackBerryCriteria new BlackBerryCriteria == ();
bbCriteria.setMode (LocationInfo.GEOLOCATION_MODE_CELL)
It would have the same problem?

Can anyone help me with this problem?

The whole 'GPS thing" in Blackberry is a pain in the ...

There are literary tons of posts about it.

The latest and I'd say most educational is this one:
