Hi,

I'm struggling for hours with sms3 receiving sms. It worked till I had to change the SIM card.
I tried alot of Init strings, but it still says "No sms received", sending via playsms works likes a charm.

Here is my conf:






Any help is appreciated


Thanks Dan

With Huawei devices a modem setting memory_start = 0 is usually required, but version 3.1.20 should handle that issue even when a setting is not used.

As your modem is connected with USB, are you sure that lower baudrate is necessary? Those devices should usually work well with 115200 which is a default, and in some cases USB devices do not work if the speed is lowered.

However, the main reason for the receiving issue is unclear. Perhaps the modem receives messages to elsewhere than SM memory. You could use a modem setting report_device_details = yes, restart smsd and show those details here.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I changed my conf as recommended by you (btw I alredy tried different baudrates).

Here's my output:

2017-04-23 23:43:11,7, modem1: # Preferred message storage, list of supported mem's: 2017-04-23 23:43:11,7, modem1: -> AT+CPMS=? 2017-04-23 23:43:11,7, modem1: <- +CPMS: ("SM","ME"),("SM","ME"),("SM","ME")

Is my init string correct ?



I sent a SMS to the device, with nothing showing up in the log.

Currently the SM memory is empty, so it is normal that smsd does not receive messages.

Should there be a message in the modem right now? If yes, it may be in the ME memory, but you could now send a message to your device, without changing anything, and see if it is received properly.

I need to see full details, all lines between "start" and "end".

Well, the messages are visible over the web inteface of the modem, when I stick it into my windows pc....

I just sent another SMS, here is the log, says nothing to me...

Okay, the web interface program has taken messages to it's own storage, and therefore the SIM is empty. Stay away of that windows pc if you want that smsd can receive messages.

You need to test memories now. Use the stick on Linux only. Stop the smsd. With your handset send a message to the stick. With your current setting init=AT+CPMS="SM","SM","SM" start the smsd and see if a message is received. If nothing is received, change initialization to init=AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME" and restart smsd. If still nothing is received, use a modem setting report_device_details = yes and show full details here.

Nothing changed

Do you mean these details ?

Your device has SM and ME memories, and when they both are still empty, even when you have sent a message to the stick, I think that something is just broken or the message was sent to the wrong number. If the number was surely correct, try with an another SIM, or replace the modem.

I changed SIM with no luck.
Could you recommend another 3G modem that will work ?

I do not usually recommend anything, but for example Huawei E313 is working well. It is very similar than your modem.

I hope that you have done all tests with your modem very carefully.

I will completely reinstall this thing. Funny thing is that it worked a short time, didn't change anything (afaik)... we will see

Solved this finally with Huawei E169 UMTS stick, works out of the box.

Thanks for the support.
