Can it work when the 3G connection is active?

So all works well when there's no 3G connection. But when there is I have an issue running the incoming_call_demo.py script. When I dial the number it is ringing and with every ring an error message logs to the screen:

Exception in thread Thread-58:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Furthermore, I'm using the sakis3G script to connect.

If I first make the connection, and then start the python script, all is fine.

Thanks for the report! I'm glad you found a workaround, but this is indeed a valid bug (and one which I have been able to replicate), so I am reopening this until I have submitted a fix.

The issue is that the sakis3g script modifies the "extended incoming call indication" setting of the modem (AT+CRC). Since python-gsmmodem sets this during connect(), it does not expect an external program to modify it - this is also why it works if you start python-gsmmodem after sakis3G.

The patch above allows python-gsmmodem to detect this change, so it should work fine either way for you now. Please re-open the ticket if the issue is not resolved for you.

Works like a charm here. Thanks!
