Hi,
Is it the cell re-selection procedure?
Terminals periodically scan for surrounding cells in order to switch if they see a better one.
OK, I guess I can see that a phone has no way of knowing that it is stationary, so it has to execute that periodic procedure "just in case". [...]
you can set "no neighbour-measurement". This would turn the re-selection off. I have identified the neighbour-measurement as one of the reasons, why my phone is crashing from time to time. I think that is because of the burst-data sent from layer1 to layer23 over serial and somehow is not completely flow-controled:
kernel: [900845.794906] ttyS7: 1 input overrun(s)
These messages don't disappear, but are more seldom, since the data between the layers is reduced.
So my advice at the moment is to disable neighbour-measurement, when using the phone stationary.
