Any progress on fixing incoming SMS?

[JayByrd]

Thanks for the responses, guys.  Sorry it's taken me so long to get back, but I got diverted onto another project yesterday, and had to set the phone aside...

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

Code:

mmcli -m 0 --command='AT+CMGD=4'

, 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...

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.
