Modem crashes worsening from daily to multiple times a day + sms delaysFor people car

[bacydentir85]

For people carrying the phone with them, is this something that you noticed?

Context
- pinephone used as an sms server through ssh
- modem and wifi experiencing multiple crashes that are worsening
- incoming sms are sometimes (but rarely) delayed from 2 hours up to more than 24 hours (received time and dates are correct)

Crashes in the past 45 days
- 80 for the modem
- 12 for the wifi card/wifi connection
- more than doubled since the last 15 days compared to previously
- modem and wifi checked every 30 minutes

Phone information
- pinephone beta edition ordered in 2021
- on 24/7 + plugged in

I have had this setup for the past 3 months, but I started logging the crashes in mid December as I started to see the pinephone going down more frequently.

Software
- sxmo + postmarketos edge
- not directly exposed to the web, it is only accessible through another server that runs a secure bsd OS

It seems to be worsening and I have not changed anything on my setup since I started logging the modem and wifi crashes.

I do not expect 99% uptime as it is targeted for testing and I have the beta edition, but these crashes seem rather high.

I don’t know where edge stands now, but postmarketOS 24.12 wasn’t looking very good on PinePhone overall:

Also, I’ve long had modem problems more regularly when using sxmo. Don’t know why.

I have nearly no issues except some volume setting tweaks running Mobian, FWIW I also installed the Biktorgj firmware which made the modem much more stable.
This is the master source for Biktorgj's modem work.

It has documentation and fixes(especially for newer modems) and apparently adds hours to battery life on standby.
https://github.com/the-modem-distro/meta-qcom git which is good for looking at bug fixes.
