RE: Unable to send SMS on US Mobile GSM (T-Mobile MVNO) - devrtz - 07-09-2020
I have just briefly had a look through the code.
What appears to happen is that chatty has no SMS protocol enabled at that time making the "+" button greyed out.
Presumably chatty does not "find" the modem on startup and therefore has no SMS support.
Could you try doing the following:
After boot wait a little bit to make sure the modem is online and connected to your carrier (I don't think you necessarily need to be connected - I could be wrong though).
then run "killall chatty" a few times until you get "no process found" and then start chatty again from the UI.
I have the suspicion that the "protocol detection" is only run once on startup and maybe it is during a time (since a daemon is autostarted)
where the modem is not yet "fully up". Obviously when you receive a new SMS chatty will then know that SMS work (if that makes sense) ;)

Whoa !
My phone was sitting for 5 or 6 hours and apparently did an auto-update.
The signal strength icon has completely disappeared, no modem function at all now.
I cannot even make a phone call...
When I restart the phone, only sometimes the signal icon shows for an instant, but does not populate with a signal
THEN when I sign-in there is no signal indicator at all.

I have just installed the July 09 nightly release,
I have a working modem again, but still have the problem of text App/chatty (not initializing )
I tried leaving an un-opened text in the App and re-starting the phone but that did not help.
> Though if I receive a text while my Brave Heart is turned off, it will activate/initialize when I turn it on.

I have no idea when that was "Changed" but it would seem to be fairly recent, as maybe just a few weeks back...
That did just "work" in the past.
Thanks for your keen observations, could this possibly only affect the version 1.1 motherboards ? (Brave Heart )

Must have been when I updated the package to the latest chatty release.
And I don't think this would be limited to BH users (I could be wrong though!)
Did you try killing the process and starting chatty fresh as I described in the last post?
For this to work your modem needs to be detected though (the cellular icon should appear,
but does not necessarily have to have a connection I think)
Edit: If we can't figure out what the problem is, we should open an issue here
Edit^2: Just come across this issue myself and confirmed it can be "solved" by killing and restarting chatty.
Have opened an issue

Updating to the newest purple-mm-sms package should fix your issue!
It now watches for changes in ModemManager.
Btw we kind of hijacked the thread a bit.
Next time this should be discussed in a different thread.
Maybe the mods can move it?
RE: Unable to send SMS on US Mobile GSM (T-Mobile MVNO) - bcnaz - 07-13-2020
I was away from service over the weekend...
I Just made a copy of the July 13 nightly.... and flashed it.
I still need to initialize the text app using my second phone. (?)
IT works just fine once it is initialized. ( until the next boot )
I am wondering how many others have not been able to use their text ?
( How many have a second phone to initialize their text App ? )

I am testing US Mobile service and also unable to send SMS
Running mobian, nightly from yesterday, but image from week ago had the same problem
In journalctl output I see
Code:
...ModemManager[1615]: transaction 0xd aborted, but message is not abortable
...ModemManager[1615]: [/dev/cdc-wdm0] No transaction matched in received messageSame issue regardless of using Chatty vs modem-manager-gui

That's really interesting, I wonder if our issue was specific to US Mobile somehow.
At any rate, I just re-flashed my phone using the new FDE installer, and sending SMS messages from chatty works fine now!
