pinephone no longer receiving calls or texts
#1
Hi,

My pinephone is no longer getting calls or texts, and I'm trying to understand why. A while back I had a similar problem, wherein the model seemed clogged:

forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16939&page=2

But, I never actually got the bottom of that. I've tried using mmcli to see the stored messages:

mmcli -m 0 AT+CPMS?


But it just returns information about the modem (copied below). Does anyone know what might be going on?

Try these commands. I used these for a long time. 
The sms number on the delete line comes from the first command

Code:
mmcli -m any --messaging-list-sms
sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-delete-sms=7
sudo systemctl restart eg25-manager.service

==Another note==
I never got stuck messages after I flashed my modem with Biktorgj's firmware.

This is kind of an old thread, but I'm still working on this issue. The current state of the phone is that it can receive calls, but not texts. I attempted to flash the firmware, as in the youtube linked above, but the first step is to install gnome-firwmare. That worked, but the gnome-firwmare app didn't detect the modem's firmware, only the display's. Still hunting for a solution..
