    We are not able to see the network on phone. After lots of debugging, the only improvement I observed is that error is changed into warning. Is there anyone who has suceeded in scanning the network on phone? Kindly guide me where am I worng. I have tried multiple ways out.

    Also I want to know what IP address should be given in ip_addr_start. Is it my machine address or device address? I have tried on both but still no luck.

    Thanks

    Hi Billy,

    N210 is not supported by OpenLTE,resampler is required.

    Thanks
