Interesting that a cell phone would heave out a big signal to check in with the nearest base station at all when it is sitting idle. Why would a cell phone need to check in to the nearest base station if it were sitting idle? It's kind of funny, but it sounds like it has some human like totemic affiliation or parasitic relationship with base stations and radio frequencies.

Is the heaving thing built in so that consumers must buy more batteries or cell phones if they wish to communicate on the go or is heaving out a signal......big or small.......just the nature of cell phone batteries in general?

Either way.........it is a very primitive function that doesn't work well and should be very easy to replace...if necessary......without stepping on toes.

GAWD I am not technical nor do I wish to be.
