We'd like to know the real network registration status by our NEO devices in the world. Please provide some information about your NEO status! The question list as below:

[edit] Instructions

1. What NEO device you are using? GTA01 or GTA02.

2. Where is your location and what is your network provider? eg. T-Mobile, San Francisco in USA.

3. When you boot the NEO, how long it takes to register the network? eg. in normal case, it should be able to register to a network in 1~2 minutes immediately.

4. What is your GSM firmware version? You can get this number by an AT command. Using SSH to connect to your NEO, then type these commands:

 root@fic-gta02:~# libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
 AT+CGMR
 STR=`AT+CGMR'
 RSTR=`+CGMR: "HW: GTA02BV5, GSM: gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko6"'

5. What is your IMEI code? Check by using this AT command like previous steps.

 AT+CGSN
 STR=`AT+CGSN'
 RSTR=`+CGSN: 000000000000000'

6. if NEO takes over 3 minutes to register to the network or it just re-register to the network again and again. Please attach your gsm log file ('/tmp/gsm.log') to our bugzilla, we already created a bug for this issue.

(#4 and #5 Under FSO/frameworkd - use "mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ophoned /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device GetInfo" to retrieve both IMEI and version string at once - mdbus is provided by the package 'mickeydbus' if not already installed)

In qtopia/qtextended, go into Applications->System Info->Modem. Look for 'Revision'.

5. What is your IMEI code? by this AT command like previous steps.

AT+CGSN
STR=`AT+CGSN' 
RSTR=`+CGSN: 000000000000000'

6. if NEO takes over 3 minutes to register to the network or it just re-register to the network again and again. Please attach your gsm log file ('/tmp/gsm.log') to our bugzilla, we already created a bug for this issue.
