Hello All,

I want to use my S3 as an engineering device, i.e. i want to be able to capture the readings from my modem and RIL such as cell broadcast power, location, switch 2g/3g and all other relative info and be able to extract that to the pc directly or see them on the pc in realtime,

Can anyone please advise how can i do this?

Many Thanks

I'd suggest making an app that gives you this info....to get started on that, I'd look through CM's ril source as they interface directly with the modem and work with the raw data that it posts

There is a pppd-ril option in the kernel, hope that helps.
