[FSO] GSM Radar/AT Commands
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello All, I'm living in the land that mobile phone coverage forgot and thinking of how to improve my sorry situation. Before I go down the route of putting a GSM Antenna on top of the house and having a cable connected to my FreeRunner I thought I'd check out the other 2 GSM operators in my area and see what the signal strength is for them. Now my Nokia phone will not permit me to connect to a non vodafone signal so I've no idea how strong it is using the nokia. I'm not using the FR as a daily phone as yet but thought I could simply use an AT command to do a quick check on the various signal strengths. I tried AT+WS46=? but it has not come back to me and just hangs there. Does anybody, with better knowledge of AT commands then me, know of a likely command or if this is even possible. I was hoping that if I could find a stronger signal in my area I'd just change operator. Thanks in advance for any help -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJCFdSXlbjSJ5n4BARAj5IAKDL+fgq2O/tAD48qAUgUM2MEfY1KwCeNjtM t44b7a0vvmhu6SHiNXpXNKo= =+Adk -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

If I remember correctly AT+CSQ gives signal strength. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

AT+COPS=? will list the visible providers, but not their signal strengths. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

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
