I was read from FAQ that some SE with SymbianOS cannot received msg. So I try other way with send cmd at+cmgl work and can list some messages, but i don't know how to convert PDU to text.

Any Idea, please help. Thanks

SE M600i is based on Symbian OS v9.1 and may work, as it's listing it's memory like +CPMS: "ME",1,512,"ME",1,512,"ME",1,512. Devices based on S40 (3rd edition) or S60 are listing +CPMS: ,,,,,,,, and do not work.

In your case there is one message, but index 1 gives an error. You could try a modem setting memory_start = 0.

As the command AT+CMGL works, you could try to use check_memory_method = 31. With this setting smsd will get all messages directly from the CMGL list. You do not have to take care about the PDU's. If this method works with your device, it's better than default method and memory_start = 0 is not required.

that works... thanks keke

i adds check_memory_method = 31 and cmgl_value = 0 for control incoming msg that only new msg are copied.

this is my smsd.conf :
devices = GSM1 #logfile = /var/log/smsd.log logfile = 1 loglevel = 7 [GSM1] #device = /dev/ttyS0 device = /dev/com3 incoming = yes cmgl_value = 0 check_memory_method = 31 #pin = 1111

sorry ask again

How to keep msg in memory phone? in some projects maybe need this. Because value in check_memory_method that support cmgl (3, 4, 31, 41, 5) are deleted message after it is read.

There is a global setting keep_messages = yes available. But it's for testing purposes only and smsd will stop after messages are read.

You could modify the sources, if you want that smsd does not delete messages, but continues running. I may include this kind of setting to the next version too.

thanks keke
let smstools3 efflorescent step by step

In the 3.1.7beta2 there is now a modem setting keep_messages = yes which works as you expected.
