Thanks for that. Yes I can confirm than AT+COPS=? lists the operators in the area but according to the data returned they are forbidden networks so I can't temporarily connect to them, and then use CSQ to get the signal strength. Such is life. Thanks for your help though. If fso has this stuff built in I missed it when searching. I'll look on the wiki again. Given that the networks are forbidden don't think there's much can be done. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJCHjuXlbjSJ5n4BARAqKKAJ0eeEAbsFX/T0/CjJBBAG8Bhd+VLQCgonDZ 2lGAQ3AqHAiiuyg2wNR0J8M= =RN1y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
