Well, it turns out that the solution in the FAQ mentioned above does seem to work. Once I cleared the messages from the modem using
, messages from most of my friends started coming through in Chatty. However, messages from one sender (who was the one I had been relying on to send me test messages) continued to be ignored...Code:mmcli -m 0 --command='AT+CMGD=4'
Modem-Manager-GUI, on the other hand, does retrieve these ignored messages from the queue--and then clears out the queue automatically. When I view the messages in MM-GUI, I still see only long strings of hex (just like using mmcli -m 0 --command='AT+CMGR=x'), but at least they are definitely being received and not laying around clogging up the queue.
It leads me to believe that kop is correct: these aren't "normal" SMS texts at all. Somewhere along the line, either at the sender's end, or at my provider's gateway, they are (re-)formatted as MMS (or some other "exotic" form.)
At any rate, thanks again for your responses. I will go ahead and mark this issue as solved.
As an FYI, You can download and check the SMS you get manually: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-br...ote_600945
And load it in a hex editor or just run "cat" on it. If you tell me the output I may shed some light on what it is?
