Operator selection modes. Some options are only supported by global phones. Global phones support two radio types, GSM and CDMA. Only one radio can be active at a time, but the device is able to switch between them without rebooting.

Constant Description Comments

RIL_OPSELMODE_AUTOMATIC

Automatic operator selection

For global phone, this implies automatic operator selection for both GSM and CDMA networks. The actual algorithm to scan these networks in a specific order is implemented by the baseband processor.

RIL_OPSELMODE_MANUAL

Manual operator selection

For global phone, this implies manual selection in GSM networks and automatic selection in CDMA networks. The actual algorithm to scan these networks in a specific order is implemented by the baseband processor.

RIL_OPSELMODE_MANUALAUTOMATIC

Manual/automatic operator selection. If manual selection fails, automatic selection mode is entered.

For global phone this implies that the network first tries manual selection in both CDMA (if supported by the network) and GSM networks, and if this fails, then tries automatic selection in these networks, based on the order implemented by the baseband processor.

RIL_OPSELMODE_AUTOMATIC_GSM

Automatic operator selection in GSM networks only.

This setting is only supported on global phones.

RIL_OPSELMODE_MANUAL_GSM

Manual operator selection in GSM networks only

This setting is only supported on global phones.

RIL_OPSELMODE_AUTOMATIC_CDMA

Automatic operator selection in CDMA networks only

This setting is only supported on global phones.

RIL_OPSELMODE_MANUAL_CDMA

Manual operator selection in CDMA networks only

This setting is only supported on global phones. Some networks might not support it.
