In order to have --signal-get start reporting values, you first need
to set it up specifying how often you want those values reported, e.g.
--signal-setup=30 for every 30s. After that, you can use --signal-get
and get more detailed values.

I guess you're referring to "running QMI commands" while MM is
running. Not with uqmi, but you can run qmicli commands while MM is
running by adding an additional "-p" to the qmicli command you would
use. uqmi AFAIK doesn't play well with MM+libqmi.
