Introducing CellHunter (Update 0.4.1)

[Sebastian Hammerl]

Hi,

the followin logic lies behind the buttons:

check cellid: gets the cell and gps data
submit data: when in online mode, the displayed data will be submitted,
when in offline mode the data will be saved
auto check cellid: "push" check cellid every x seconds
auto submit data: upload directly after checking. like auto push submit
button after auto pushing check button
offline mode toggles where the data gets. on disk or directly to the server.

so if you want collect offline every 10 seconds you have to push:
offline mode, auto submit, auto check

then it begins to save the data every 10 seconds on the disk i think
that is what you want. in offline mode the serverstatus will display 
"offline" when in online mode it will be something like:
"new;430;57;357;4563;16504" that is your currents stats.

new is the type of the last submitted main cell (not the neighbour cells)
430 is your count of new_gps cells
57 is new cells
357 is old_newgps cells
4563 is old_oldgps cells
16504 are your points

i hope this helps you.
