I want to create an application that is like the Open Signal app, but just the list of all GSM and WCDMA cell towers of a given network within range.
I can get one tower with its Cell ID and LAC.

I tried to get neighboring cell info, but it always returns a null value.

Also, can I get low level information like BCCH and BCIS? Please help. :)

 GetSystemService(Context.TelephonyService);    
 GsmCellLocation cellLocation = (GsmCellLocation)telMag.CellLocation; 

 IList<NeighboringCellInfo> NeigboringList = telMag.NeighboringCellInfo;   

 foreach(NeighboringCellInfo u in NeigboringList)    
 {      
     gsm.Text += u.Cid.ToString() + " " + u.Lac.ToString() + " " + 
     u.Psc.ToString() + " " + u.Rssi.ToString() + " " + u.NetworkType.ToString();    
 }

  • Hello user2597863, can you please post the (small bit of) code where you call the neigbouring cell info function? When you say, BCCH, do you mean the ARFCN? What is the BCIS? – user1725145 Nov 06 '13 at 10:47
  • BSIC Base Station Identity Code, also known as “Color Code” TelephonyManager TelMag=TelephonyManager)GetSystemService(Context.TelephonyService); GsmCellLocation cellLocation = (GsmCellLocation)telMag.CellLocation; IList NeigboringList = telMag.NeighboringCellInfo; foreach(NeighboringCellInfo u in NeigboringList) { gsm.Text += u.Cid.ToString() + " " + u.Lac.ToString() + " " + u.Psc.ToString() + " " + u.Rssi.ToString() + " " + u.NetworkType.ToString() ; } – GummyBear0014 Nov 26 '13 at 01:04
  • What do you get with getAllCellInfo()? – user1725145 Nov 26 '13 at 10:08
  • i reference this but in the FOR CONDITION for(int i = 0; i < NeighboringList.size(); i++) their is no NeigboringList.size() in the mono for android so icant get the same answer it had.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13208236/neighbouring-cell-information-is-inaccurate?rq=1 – GummyBear0014 Nov 28 '13 at 00:35
  • NeighboringList.size() equivalent for mono android is NeighboringList.Count(). But the count always return a null value. Do have any idea?? – GummyBear0014 Nov 28 '13 at 05:55
  • Read this question and answer, especially the 2nd answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16541172/getallcellinfo-returns-null-in-android-4-2-1. And no, you can't get low level information. Especially about BCIS, which does not exist. – user1725145 Nov 28 '13 at 07:49
  • No more way to retrieve those info? – GummyBear0014 Nov 28 '13 at 08:10
