Cell IDs

What device(s) are you experiencing the problem on?
Samsung Galaxy S (both Vibrant and Captivate), Motorola Atrix.

What firmware version are you running on the device?
2.1, 2.2, and 2.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Use the PhoneListener to listen to CELL_LOCATION_CHANGED of the device

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the Listener reports CellLocation really frequently. Within few seconds, 
it can reports several different CellIDs; even when the device is not on the 
move, it still reports some.

I'd like to get more information about Cell Ids reported by the PhoneListener 
provided. 

Also, on 2.3, the getPsc() returns 0 all the time when using GSMCellLocation. 
this is wrong.

A stationary phone can still change cell location if the area is covered by 
multiple cell towers.

This is a few cell ids collected by using PhoneStateListener with 
ON_CELL_LOCATION_CHANGED. To me, I expect the device not to have handover so 
frequently. This is when i'm driving. 

My goal is to get the real serving cell that the device is connected to. I dont 
know what exactly the Listener reports below.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you're driving (and thus changing location), the device will keep changing 
cell towers because the signal strength for the various towers will continue to 
change.

I'm curious how the device keeps the connection stable while downloading 
something? even during a call if it keeps changing cell towers so frequently?
