[Qtopia] roaming - manual selection not working

[Cédric Berger]

I confirm also that if from the UI  I try to select a network from
available gsm networks, it asks me if I want to switch to manual and
fails :

log shows a failed :
AT+COPS=1,2,20810
But manually I was able to do it by :
AT+COPS=1,2,"20810"

=> looks like the quotes where missing in command issued by Qtopia
(if I omit them I have the same error message)


And still there is the error when directly selecting the Change Mode
in menu, from Automatic to Manual :
AT+COPS=1,2,0    fails

=>provider number is missing ("20810")    (or is "0" meaningful for
current provider? if so maybe it is only the quotes missing...)
