I GENERAL QUESTIONS

Q 1.1 What is AMPS?

A 1.1 The Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) is the analog system used
in the United States for cellular telephones. It uses Frequency Modulation
(FM). AMPS uses the FDMA air interface. The channels are 30Khz wide. The
frequency band for AMPS is 824Mhz to 849Mhz and 869Mhz to 894Mhz.

Q1.2 What is GSM?

A1.2 GSM was established in 1982 as a European standard for digital
wireless communications. The first system was on line in 1991. GSM is
now used in many countries around the world. The original name was
Groupe Spécial Mobile, but now the most accepted name is Global System
for Mobile Communications. GSM uses a combination of FDMA and TDMA.

FDMA: The 25Mhz-wide band is divided into 124 frequencies of 200Khz each.
One or more of those frequencies are assigned to each base station.

TDMA: Each of those frequencies uses 8 time slots.

Q 1.3 What is TDMA?

A 1.3 Time Division Multiple Access is an air interface that allows mobile
stations to use the same frequency, but are separated by time slots.

Q 1.4 What is CDMA?

A 1.4 Code Division Multiple Access is an air interface that allows mobile
stations to use the same frequency, but are separated by unique digital
codes. CDMA uses spread spectrum techniques. The standard (IS-95) was
published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) in July,
1993 and revised to IS-95A in May, 1995. The channels are approximately 1.25Mhz wide.

Q 1.4a What is the difference between TDMA and CDMA?

A 1.4a (Credit: Steve Punter)
The first thing you have to learn is that "TDMA" is used frequently as a
direct reference to IS-136. This is an ambiguous reference, since there
are actually three technologies that presently use a form of Time Division
Multiple Access. Be careful when talking with people who use TDMA in
this way.

As you have already guessed, the main difference between TDMA and CDMA is
how they share the spectrum. TDMA does so by assigning each user on a
channel a different "slot" in time. IS-136 and iDEN have 3 slots per
channel, while GSM has 8 slots per channel. Note that a GSM channel is much
wider than an IS-136 or iDEN channel. Each user "takes turns" transmitting
and receiving in their designated time slot.

CDMA on the other hand has everyone on the channel transmitting and
receiving AT THE SAME TIME. Conventional wisdom would lead you to believe
this is impossible, but it works because of a modulation technique known as
Spread Spectrum. A CDMA channel is very wide (1.25 Mhz actually). Each user
is only transmitting a small amount of data, which would normally fit well
into a much smaller (narrow) channel. What the transmitter does is to take
this small number of bits and spread it out over the entire 1.25Mhz-wide
channel. It does so using an encoding technique that makes each user's bits
interfere very little with everyone else's. The receiver's job is to
"unspread" the bits and extract only the data from the desired user.

Because this wide channel can accommodate many different people using it at
the same time, the channel is said to have "soft capacity", since the upper
limit on the number of users is determined strictly by how much interference
a subscriber is willing to endure. Up to a certain point, the level of
inter-user interference is well within the capability of the voice coding
algorithm to correct. In a TDMA system, the capacity is "hard coded" by the
number of slots allocated to a channel.

CDMA also offers a unique feature known as "soft handoff". TDMA systems use
what is known as a "hard handoff", since the connection with one site must
be broken and then a new connection created. CDMA systems keep your call
connected through 3 (the spec allows up to 6, but that isn't used) different
sites. Your phone can pick and choose between these 3 sites at any time, and
can in fact combine the signals from two or more sites at the same time.

It would take volumes to go into the necessary detail required to explain
the true differences. I therefore recommend you buy a book called "Wireless
Personal Communications Systems" by David J. Goodman. It's an Addison-Wesley
publication, and its ISBN number is 0-201-63470-8. This book is a marvelous
source of information about the various technologies (excluding iDEN) used
in North America.

Q 1.5 What is PCS?

A 1.5 The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opened a new frequency
band for digital phones and named the new service Personal Communication
Services (PCS). The band is generally referred to as the 1900Mhz (1.9Ghz)
band. The band is from 1850MHz to 1990MHz.

Q 1.6 What is an ESN?

A 1.6 The Electronic Serial Number is a 32-bit number that is stored in the
phone. It is used, along with other numbers, to identify your phone. GSM
equivalent would be the IMEI.

Q 1.7 What is meant by dual-mode?

A 1.7 A dual-mode phone operates on two modes. Usually this refers to
phones that use digital and analog, however it also pertains to phones that
operate on AMPS and N-AMPS.

Q 1.8 What is a dual-band phone?

A 1.8 A dual-band phone operates on the cellular band (800Mhz) and the
PCS band (1900Mhz).

[Questions 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11 deleted]

Q 1.12 What is GSM1900?

A 1.12 It is the GSM system used in the United States on the PCS band.

Q 1.13 What is a SIM card?

A 1.13 The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a "smart card" used by
a subscriber to GSM. The card contains information about the user and can
be plugged into another GSM phone. This allows the user to use another GSM
phone as if it was his/her own phone.

Q 1.14 What are the potential health hazards to using a portable wireless
phone?

A 1.14 The 'short' answer is that there is no known health hazards
associated with the proper use of portable wireless phones. For more
technical information on this subject go to http://www.fcc.gov/oet/.
The Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) has a number of bulletins
on the subject. The two that you want to start with are OET56 and OET65C.
OET56 gives a lot of other references.

Q 1.15 What is IRIDIUM? What is GlobalStar?

A 1.15 The IRIDIUM and GlobalStar systems will use low earth orbit
satellites for wireless communication. A special handset will allow the user
to communicate via ground based cellular or by satellite. For the latest
information see:
http://www.iridium.com
http://www.globalstar.com

Q. 1.16 What is EVRC?

A. 1.16 [Credit: Bill Walker]
EVRC is the Enhanced Variable Rate Coder. It is an 8 kbps vocoder
that's supposed to sound about as good as the current 13 kbps vocoder.
Thus, you can have the same voice quality while improving the capacity
of the system (which can handle more 8 kbps calls than 13 kbps calls.

Q 1.17 What is 3G (3GP)?

A 1.17 The short answer is:
3G is a generic term covering a range of future wireless network
technologies, including cdma2000, UMTS, GPRS, WCDMA, and EDGE.
3G combines high-speed mobile access with Internet Protocol (IP) based
services. This doesn't just mean fast mobile connection to the World Wide
Web - by liberating us from slow connections, cumbersome equipment and
immovable access points, 3G will enable new ways to communicate, access
information, conduct business and learn.


II TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

Q 2.1 In CDMA what is meant by "slot cycle index"?

A 2.1 [Credit: Bill Walker]
On the CDMA Paging Channel (this is the shared channel that all phones
listen to for incoming calls and other control info), time is divided into
"slots". To conserve power, phones that are currently idle only "wake up"
and listen for messages on the Paging Channel during their assigned
slots. The slot cycle index determines how often the phone's slot comes
around. If the slot cycle index is 0, the phone wakes up every 1.28
seconds. If it's one, it wakes up every 2.56 seconds. If it's two, it's
every 5.12 seconds, and so on. The larger the setting, the more power is
conserved, but the longer it takes to page the phone for an incoming
call. You can imagine that if it were set to 10.24 seconds, few callers
would hang on the line long enough for you to answer your phone.

There are two settings that govern this. One is the "preferred slot cycle
index" in the phone, and can be set via service programming. The other is
the "maximum slot cycle index" set in the base station and broadcast in
overhead messages on the Paging Channel. The phone has to use whichever
number is smaller.

Q 2.2 What are the frequencies of the 800MHz and 1900MHZ channels?

A 2.2 The receive (RX) and transmit (TX) frequencies for the mobile
units are:
CELLULAR

CHANNEL RX TX
1 870.030 825.030
2 870.060 825.060

III MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS


Q 3.8 Which digital phone should I buy?

A 3.8 (Credit: Michael Geary)
Which phone is "better" will depend more on the service provided by a
given carrier than the actual piece of equipment you hold in your
hand.

So backing up a bit, here is the way to answer your question:

First, investigate the various wireless carriers in your area. Look up
their price plans, get feedback from customers about their coverage
and reliability, and then finally see what kind of phones they offer.

Then, and only then, it starts to make sense to think about which
model of phone. You may well find the decision has already been made
for you--most digital carriers sell only certain phones that work with
their service.

modem log

http://www.modemsite.com/56k/ppp.asp

Windows 2000 and XP:
Win2k Pro and all versions of XP require using a command prompt to enable logging. Open a command prompt with Start->Run and type in cmd

From the command prompt, type:

netsh
ras
set tracing PPP enable
exit

After you enable logging, all PPP activity is logged to a file named ppp.log in the folder Tracing located in the Windows folder.

To disable PPP logging, use the command sequence above, except replace enable with disable.

Vital / Critical Hacks

Multi-NAI / Tethering Detection
The NAI (Network Access Identifier) is used by many cellular carriers to identify whether the handset is accessing data on its own, or is tethered to another device such as a laptop. This option is enabled by default, which tells the handset to use a different NAI when tethering. For those of you who purchased an unlimited data plan, and feel that your carrier is a selfish, hypocritical and greedy organization that should be dismantled by the FCC and sold off in a million pieces, you can turn this feature off:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\WModem]
"Multi-NAI"=dword:00000000
Enable Bluetooth DUN (Dialup Networking)
NOTE: This is common knowledge, not an original hack by any means

Once Multi-NAI has been disabled, enabling dialup networking is relatively simple, and will allow you to connect your laptop to your carrier's data network. If your DUN has been crippled, chances are you're using Verizon.

1. Dial ##3328873 (##FEATURE) and press Talk
2. Enter the unlock code (000000 for Verizon)
3. For each of the two features ("Enable Wmodem" and "Enable BT DUN"):
  • Hilight the feature
  • Click the 'Edit' option
  • Change the value to 'Enabled'
4. Click the OK option, and you will be prompted to soft-reset

Now, whenever you would like to use Dialup Networking (or when pairing your device), run the "Wireless Modem" application from the Programs menu. If this does not appear, use File Explorer to navigate to your Windows directory, then click the WMODEM application (Hint: You'll need to "Show All Files" to see it). Then:
  • Choose 'Bluetooth' from the dropdown menu
  • Click 'Start'
You will need to turn off any data connection before using WModem

Bluetooth and SDCard Suspend Fix
Both Bluetooth and the SD Card are turned off when the unit suspends. This can cause a loss of Bluetooth connectivity if using a BT headset, or crash the system entirely if running an application from the SD card. To correct this, the following registry modifications tell the OS to put these devices on active low-power standby, allowing them to be used when needed:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]
"btl1:"=dword:00000002
"dsk1:"=dword:00000002

btl1 is the device name for the Bluetooth radio, and dsk1 is the device name for the SD memory card. For more device information, see HKLM\Devices\Active.

Alternatively, power management for Bluetooth can be disabled completely using the following registry mod (NOTE: this may adversely affect your battery life):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Bluetooth device\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000001

NOTE: The above hacks have been proven to work, but won't keep the buggy Bluetooth stack from occasionalloy crashing, which is a whole different issue. I only experience that once every other day or so, however. If you can't figure this out, just a reminder - do not email me. I really could care less about your inability to show off to your nerd girlfriend by hacking her phone, and if you fall flat miserably on your face, don't come crying to me about it.

Sound with Power Off
It's pretty important to get event reminders when your PDA is turned off. Unfortunately the 'Unattended' mode has the sound (wav1) turned completely off when unattended. You can change this value to '2' to leave the sound on stand-by. Just as you edited the 'Suspend' power profile above, you can change this in 'Unattended' in the same place.

Concurrent WiFi and Phone Radio use
Although this feature is enabled in the default firmware, some providers (such as Verizon) have disabled the ability to use both the WiFi and the phone at the same time. This registry modification restores this feature:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"MutexFlag"=dword:00000000
NOTE: Booting without the Verizon customizations appears to leave this key nonexistant, which enabled simultaneous use. Just to be sure, try turning on WiFi in your ConnManager application, and if it doesn't turn off the phone, then you're good to go.

Improving Tower Polling / Ring Response Times
NOTE: This is not an original hack. I found this in a forum.

The ring response time of the 6700 is fairly poor due mostly to the tower polling time. Fortunately, the handset includes a custom PST (remember Moto PST?). To improve the tower polling, do the following:
  • Dial ##778 (PST) on your handset and press Talk
  • Enter the security code (000000 on Verizon)
  • Choose "Modem Settings" off of the PST menu
  • Change "Slot Cycle Index" to 0, or 1. This value is 1.28 seconds * 2^N, where N is the index. A value of 0 will give you the fastest tower polling, but most people stick with 1 to avoid excessive battery usage and flooding the network.
  • Click OK and you will be prompted to soft-reset your handset.

Increase Earpiece Volume / Better Call Quality
NOTE: This too is a hack I found in a forum.

Enhanced Variable-Rate Codec (EVRC) is the default audio codec for this and most other phones. Unfortunately, call quality suffers to benefit the amount of bandwidth available on the tower. To improve call quality (which seems to have the side-effect of also increasing earpiece volume), follow the same steps as above to enter the PST, but go to the "CDMA Settings" menu. Change "EVRC Enabled" to "Disable" and change the three values underneath it ("Home Page", "Home Orig", "Roam Orig") to "Voice 13K".

Verizon Extended ROM Files

The following files are the custom cabs which get installed upon a hard-reset of Verizon's XV6700. None of these are vital to the operation of the unit, and it actually runs much smoother, and with more free memory, without them. To bypass the installation of these customizations, hard-reset the device and then press the soft-reset button after initial bootup, just as the window pops up informing you that they are going to be installed.

If you would like to pick-and-choose which ones to install yourself, you can simply unlock the extended ROM to access these files. Instructions on doing this can be found here.

NOTE: If you would like help doing this, DO NOT email me. I don't care if you think Verizon sucks, and this page is cool. I don't care if you just got this new phone for Christmas. Go ask someone in a forum somewhere.

It's not necessary to make the ROM writable, and in fact I would recommend against it. Simply skip the installation of these and then manually install the ones you want. Personally, my phone is doing just fine with only the custom ring tones and MMS application installed. Based on an examination of the files, I believe they serve the following purposes:
Apache_VZW_MMX3.0.6_24.20060124.CAB
Installs ArcMMS and configures for Verizon

    • No 300-ft range from the cell tower or “hot spot”
    • Customers can access their corporate VPN (virtual private network) anywhere they can get a cellular signal via a secure, encrypted signal
    • Can download and run video clips in real time
    • Can provide service to customers outside of cable-modem or DSL areas
  • Relatively low cost with high capacity - allows rich web browsing and application usage
OK, I understand What EVDO is. So how fast is EVDO?

Your signal strength determines how fast EVDO will be. Like your cell phone, you can have from zero bars of service (no service at all) to 4 bars (excellent, zippy service). Here is a speed test done while having 4 bars. The location was Schaumburg, IL.
