Chatty stop receiving SMS

[chadwick]

Hi,

My Chatty for some unknown reason has stopped working, no message has been received since it stopped receiving messages. After rebooting, the problem still persisted. When the SIM Card was placed in another device, such as Samsung Galaxy s7, it can receive and send message normally, I double check with the phone service provider, nothing was wrong from their SMS service. Phones and contacts working without a problem, I can dial and view contacts.

Is there any good way to remedy Chatty to make it work again? What could be blocking it from working?

Anything helpful are much appreciated.

Device: Pinephone 3GB/32G

Thank you for the reply.



Following the forum post, I have successfully getting SMS again.


If I have understand this correctly, ModemManager seems to have been "FULL" and therefore it "refused" to receive any further new messages.

I found out the message numbers using "sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-list-sms" and deleted those messages using "sudo mmcli -m any --messaging-delete-sms={80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89}", Chatty is now able to receive message again.

I just wanted to ask if anyone managed to get the device to boot using a more recent build or maybe tried a different microSD card brand? I've had weird boot issues before that turned out to be card-related. Would love to hear how things panned out or if anyone found a solid workaround.

I also played around with this too, and found that sending bulk sms works fine as long as the modem stays stable, mms sometimes threw it off. 

For bulk sms, I kept the messages short and spaced them out a bit to avoid triggering crashes. Incoming calls while sending occasionally froze things, though, so I just disabled calls temporarily when I needed to send out a batch.
