Test 61 – Serving Cell Measurement Information

Available in: 2100, 3330, 5110, 6150, 6210, 7110, 8210, 8250

This test displays counters regarding measurements of the serving cell.

Note the bottom line only displays on certain (generally newer) phones.

NOPSW: Hexadecimal counter of MDI_NO_PSW_FOUND messages from DSP.

SYNCR: The number of times (in decimal) the MS has attempted to synchronize to the serving cell. Synchronization is where the MS listens to the SCH channel on timeslot 0 of the radio channel containing the BCCH. When it receives a synchronization burst, it uses it to set up its internal timings and frame numbers, so it can determine which timeslot is which, which frame is which, etc. This value usually only increases on power on (to synchronize to a BCCH carrier), or when the phone loses coverage. If value is over 9999 then XXXX are shown. [GSM 05.08:6.x, 05.10:4.x]

RESELEC: The number of times (in hex) the MS has reselected a new cell for camping on in idle mode. Cell reselection occurs when a suitable neighbour cell has a higher C2 value for a period (usually 5 seconds), often at the end of a call, or after a DSF. See “Test 1 – Serving Cell Information (1)”, “Test 2 – Serving Cell Information (2)” and “Test 10 - TMSI, PRP, T3212 (Location Update) timer and AFC/AGC Information”. You will notice if you are moving through an urban area this counter will increase very rapidly (due to the small size and large number of cells). [GSM 05.08:6.x]

RmMonTO: RM Mon TOuts (NO INFO!!!)

In 2100, 3310, 3330, 7110 screen is similar, but all counters is decimal.

In some dualband phones (7110)

All counters is a decimal. The values from the descriptions above for each frequency (GSM 900 and DCS 1800) are separate.

These counters can only be reset with “Test 60 – Reset Counters”. The values are stored in the EEPROM, and are preserved across reboots, SIM card changes, and even software upgrades (provided the EEPROM is not cleared). Note, they are only saved when the phone is properly powered off, hence if the phone crashes or the battery is removed, the totals will not be updated.
