Hello,

Again, sorry to jump that late in this thread.

I'd be glad to see more support there too.

Now, if you need to probe and all, Solid is probably not the first place to 
start with (but HAL probably is, and once done with it then we can start to 
expose info in Solid). Actually it could be possible that HAL already does the 
necessary stuff there but I can't really check since I don't own such a phone.

Hope that helps.

Regards.
