Not receiving SMS messages

[bcnaz]

As a GUI only user...
      I am using a very recent download of the Mobian nightly build on my Brave Heart phone on the AT&T PrePaid network.
Everything works "out of the box"  with minor imperfections.  ( I get 3 copies of my incoming texts,  not a big problem )
  Everything is at default settings.
The speaker phone works great on my end,  but I have had complaints that when I use speaker phone they hear an echo.

SO over-all I have no complaints about this beta stage O.S.

---

A older nightly from about a week or so back did a strange thing with my text,

The new text would 'show' in the preview, but when I clicked to open it, there only older texts showed.

Thankful that problem has been fixed.

This looks like an issue with purple-mm-sms not dealing great with CDMA networks.
We might hopefully have a solution within the next few weeks

The new window scaling feature makes modem-manager-gui much more usable, but a fix to Chatty for CDMA would be great.

I use Mobian full time on a CDMA network, I'll gladly test out any fixes if you want.

I was having an issue with USA T-Mobile (not CDMA) on the PureOS port for PP CE in which T-Mobile spam sent MMS messages to me (perhaps trying to confirm something). This was further exacerbated by being in an area without signal and the phone's battery dying regularly. I created the following script to delete the messages they send.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

MODEM=`sudo mmcli -L | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F'/' '{print $6}'`
oIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'

CACHEDSMS=""

for CACHEDSMS in `sudo mmcli -m $MODEM --messaging-list-sms | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F'/' '{print $6}'`; do
    if sudo mmcli -s $CACHEDSMS | grep 'smsc: +12063130057' ; then
        sudo mmcli -m $MODEM --messaging-delete-sms=$CACHEDSMS
    fi
done

While I haven't put this in a cron, the script works and should be able to be placed in a cron.

#!/bin/bash

# This script will check all messages and delete all from the Modem
# Demetrius R. Paula Nov 2020

# Find the modem
modem=-1
for i in `seq 0 9`; do
    mmcli -m $i
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        modem=$i
        break;
    fi
done

echo "Modem is $i"

## Check all received and sent sms and delete them from the modem.
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-list-sms | grep -oP '(?<=SMS/).*(?=.(sent))' | while read -r line ; do
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-delete-sms=$line
done
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-list-sms | grep -oP '(?<=SMS/).*(?=.(received))' | while read -r line ; do
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-delete-sms=$line
done

# Print the list of remaining SMS'
mmcli --modem $i --messaging-list-sms


hope it is helpful.
