Hello!
First off, thank you to anybody that can help!
This is really a diag app. I have a new Samsung S3 from MetroPCS. Almost to the second, i will get the 'emergency phone mode' note. This will last about 1-2 seconds, then all is well, back to normal phone operations.
Now, T-Mobile and MetroPCS are merging, so i am not sure if it is the phone or the merger. And the REAL tech support people (NOT the 1-800 people) are not sure either.
MetroPCS suggested i remove the app that i had purchased to log such events (No Signal Alert Pro). By doing this, it means i have to stare at my phone non-stop as at times, the hour/minute will change from puking at 9:15, 10:15, 11:15 to 1:37, 2:37, 3:37, etc randomly.
I installed another app, No Signal Alert, and it went off too.
Though i do not have access to the source of either, and basing my opinion of many years of BASIC/VB programming, i strongly suspect these apps are just reading some 'variable' that is set by the OS. Why re-invent the wheel?
So i was wanting to write a REAL simple app that just logged the time when the phone went into emergency mode. However, i have searched and searched and found nothing on this at all.
Personally, i suspect it is either the phone 'checking in' or T-Mobile/MetroPCS is 'checking in'. Either way, i need a SIMPLE app so if needed, i can give it to the people at MetroPCS so they can see that it is NOT a SW issue as well as helping them resolve this not only for me, but for others too...
I have ALogCat running, but i have NO CLUE how to config it to detect this and if it even would anyway!
Any help for a dumb programmer?
Your kindness is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
