Notecard never gets past "cell-registration-wait"

Hey @woodway20, thanks for the additional info. Just out of curiosity, where are you located (city and country)? Also, to confirm, you don’t have an external SIM plugged into the Notecarrier Pi, correct?

When you have a moment, can you do the following in the browser terminal:

  1. type modem-test and you should see something like this
> modem-test

R769:23.62 accelerometer disabled (not needed)
R769:23.98 *** FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY *** LIMITED USE COUNT: 1 ***
R769:28.61 selected internal USIM
RDY
  1. type at+cfun=1 and you should see
> at+cfun=1

at+cfun=1
OK
APP RDY
  1. type at+cops=? to see the lest of carriers that the modem is able to see from its current location. This command might take a while (up to 10 min), and please share what you see as a result.
> at+cops=?

at+cops=?
+cops: (1,"T-Mobile","T-Mobile","310260",8),(2,"AT&T","AT&T","310410",8),(1,"313 100","313 100","313100",8),(1,"311 490","311 490","311490",8),,(0,1,2,3,4),(0,1,2)
OK

If you’re in North America, you can also try {"req": "card.wireless","mode": "m"} to restrict the Notecard to Cat-1 its network scan, or {"req": "card.wireless","mode": "gprs"} for EGPRS if you are outside of the US.
