@Alex, though I've not gone through the new facilities offered by this upgrade, I'm at a cross roads now if this Huawei upgrade is similar to what I was doing on mybtometer. I had no idea huawei would be doing something similar or has it taken a local idea floated here on skunks and turned it into an upgrade? If it did so, the least they can do is give us a program credit line for it. If it benefits all, that's great. For the proposed project, Alex please do keep in mind that I still carry L plates on programming and can only spare abvout 4-6 hours a week on any project. Well, if Huawei took the idea from here and used it, good for them and end users too. They should expect something much better, but this time I shall keep shut about it until am ready with a prototype. Rgds. me thots...
