Gammu Huawei E3131 is not receiving SMS

[kaestner]

Hi,

I'm using an Raspberry PI3 with Raspibian. I can send SMS but I never received an sms.
I'm using the Huawei E3131 UMTS Stick.

gammu-detect gives following output:

[gammu]
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
name = Phone on USB serial port HUAWEI HUAWEI_Mobile
connection = at

[gammu1]
device = /dev/ttyUSB1
name = Phone on USB serial port HUAWEI HUAWEI_Mobile
connection = at

[gammu2]
device = /dev/ttyUSB2
name = Phone on USB serial port HUAWEI HUAWEI_Mobile
connection = at

sudo gammu-smsd-monitor

The following versions are installed:

Raspbian: 8.0
smsd -Version: Version 3.1.15

this is my smsd.conf file:

devices = GSM1
outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing
checked = /var/spool/sms/checked
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
logfile = /var/log/smstools/smsd.log

pidfile = /var/run/smstools/smsd.pid

incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
sent = /var/spool/sms/sent
stats = /var/log/smstools/smsd_stats
receive_before_send = no
autosplit = 3

[GSM1]
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
incoming = yes
baudrate = 115200
report_device_details = yes
check_memory_method = 3
   
[GSM2]
device = /dev/ttyUSB1
incoming = yes
baudrate = 19200

[GSM3]
device = /dev/ttyUSB2
incoming = yes
baudrate = 19200

attached is also the log file.

I normally use /dev/gsmmodem on my Raspberry Pi. It gave the most reliable results. Additionally the gammu version that ships with Debian/Raspbian is quite dated. Try compiling it yourself. Newer versions are more stable in this regard.

My configuration gammu-smsdrc with a Huawei E161 looks like this + some DB config:

[gammu]
device = /dev/gsmmodem
connection = at

If this doesn't help you may want to check the device configuration in libgammu/gsmphones.c.

I have the same problem. Gammu (1.42.0 on raspberry) can send SMS messages with the E3131 stick, but does not recieve anything. The messages ARE on recieved the stick, and show when I place the stick in my windows machine? Any ideas ?

Have you found a solution? I've got the same problem here...

Nope - nobody has responded - so it is still not working.. :-(

[einzige]

same thing, could it be fixed with CheckMemoryMethod?
