== Advanced Settings ==
=== Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API ===
Default: On (on Samsung and some phone's off)
This will use the new cellid API for Android 4.2 and newer phones. This doesn't work most Samsung and Huawei Phones.
Some manufacture like Samsung not implement new Android Cell ID API in their phones. Also some phones have issues with Android 4.2 API. So we recommended check your phone support on our page. If your phone not in list, please contact to our support with email so we can add to list.
Please check your phone support [https://www.cellmapper.net/Tested_Phones here].

Default: 5
The minimum number of seconds between data points.
