Always had netmon directly from devel since ages, so I am pretty sure I never ever used 0.6 at all

I believe latest was 0.9-2, or?

Yes, exactly. It closes sometimes after random time (not always).
I did not see any output in console, but ...

You are welcome. Yes, there should not be a kp related problem at all (as I also use kp since ages).
Only thing I may think of here is conflict reading battery values (I remembervaguely something about i2c and bq27)?

And thanks for caring about this nice application (even we also have cellnet-info).

I didn't even know about cellnet-info.

I found the solution to this here.

I'm still working on the Battery Status display.

Sometimes I see the python: corrupted double-linked list error, sometimes a segmentation fault, but most of the time it exits with no message.

I've had some success with increasing the Battery Status refresh interval from 2 seconds to 4 or more, but it still exits after a couple of hours.

I noticed the Cell Info refresh interval was set to 30 seconds. I have decreased this to 10 and it doesn't seem to have introduced any problems.

Netmon 0.9-4 is now in extras-devel.

Introspect error message should no longer be shown.
Battery Status display should no longer exit randomly.
Cell Info refresh interval is reduced from 30s to 10s.
Battery Status refresh interval remains at 2s.

I tested the application and it works.

But I have a couple of questions:

1.- Is there a way to see what band I'm using? My operator is 900/1800 and sometimes I wonder which band the phone is using. They tell me that if I choose 3G in my phone my band using them will be 900 MHz and if I choose 2.5G will be 1800 MHz but I have never confirmed it.

2.- Also weird: If I'm in 2.5G and select "Networks" I can see all the networks in the current band I'm in (and I think it's 1800 MHz). If I select 3G in the phone, then (assuming the info from my operator is right) I'm in the 900 MHz band, and then if I select "Networks" I can see only the networks in the 900 MHz band (just the current one I'm using) and the others that appeared when I was in 2.5G aren't shown.

So I think the Network search depends on the band I'm currently using? My assumption is: If I'm in the 900 MHz band I can only see networks in the 900/1800 MHz and if I'm in the 1800 MHz band I can only see networks in the 850/1800 Mhz band.

I don't know of a way to do this.

I've just tested now with 2G/3G/Dual Mode Selection Applet and SIM cards from two different operators. In my area there are three operators that have 3G @ 2100MHz and of those two have 2G @ 900MHz, the third doesn't have 2G. There is another operator that has 3G @ 900MHz and 2G @ 1800MHz.

When I select "Networks" with my phone in 3G or Dual mode, I see all four networks, and with the phone in 2G mode I see only three networks. It didn't matter whether I used a SIM from one of the 2100/900 operators or the 900/1800 operator.

Do you have a mix of European and American bands in your country? It may depend on whether your phone is using European or American bands which other networks you can see.

I only know how to retrieve what is in the wiki:

Sadly yes. There's a network which started in 900 MHz (European band) and when 3G started the government didn't want to give them the 2100 MHz band (dunno why) so they had to move voice and EDGE to 1800 MHz and kept the 900 MHz for 3G and they are now an extremely weird hybrid network 900/1800.

I was using the 2G/3G/Dual Mode Selection Applet and I can see all the networks only if dual model is selected, so that mystery is solved.
