How to find out system information on Smart Phone

[mkremser]

Hi NG!

I want to find out these information:

-) Current network operator
-) Battery loading state
-) Current base station identifier
-) Current field strength

Is it somehow possible to find out at least one of them using the .net
CF or with PInvoke?

Best regards,

Michael

Hi,

On Windows Mobile 5.0 you can access Network operator name, battery
percentage and signal strength (and much more) through the state and
notification broker - Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status library. For Windows
Mobile 2003 there is an alternative wrapper library which exposes these
properties - http://www.inthehand.com/WindowsMobile.aspx
Base station is not directly accessible unless your network broadcasts it,
in theory it is accessible through the RIL APIs but these are not officially
documented. Many aspects of the phone status are accessible through TAPI,
but I'm not aware of a way of retrieving base station ids from TAPI.
