For the moment i ran out of ideas. will check on mine and come back if you want to test it more.
Just a comment, you should check if it is running (i.e press the "start" button and the message should be "smscon_deamon is already active") and not if it is enabled on the boot.

I also tested the "real" situation by sending sms from another Mobile Phone with the "check" command and I received 11 SMS (the first one twice and the following three sms I received three times each).

As it was said, there is some people that have this issue. As developers we have not seen this and haven't been able to reproduce. Thus, it's tough to fix it.

In the next version, the "retry on failed message" will be configurable from the editor. This should be bad for reliability but will minimize the issue on the people affected.

There is a option in SMSCon Editor. General -> GPRS-Settings: The field beside the timeout-field. Is this the maxretry-option? I set this to "1", but when I use the test-Function, I got the same behavior than before.

Actually no. If you read it again it says GPS settings. The value signifies the number of samples to take for the coordinates to be send. For me it gives best location with 4 and default is 3.

In the next release (0.8) there will be a possibility to 'disable' the resend function if it gives people trouble...

The whole routine in 'smscon_daemon' script to make the resend, in case of send failure, possible is still somewhat experimental as stated in the wiki (as of release 0.5-9).

Thank you for your quick reply!

I didn't found that before, but to be honest, I did not read through all 60 pages of this thread. Some parts of the text I only "scanned" through. Sorry, for asking again.

This would be O.K. for me. I will test it, soon as you bring out the new version. Thank you.

Just an idea: If the "retry on failed message" function works with a failure message that it gets from the mobile network, it might be a regional problem with some providers?

Sorry again. My mistake. That makes sense. I switched back to "4".

T.

The maxretry isn't in the smscon editor. You have to edit /opt/smscon/smscon_daemon in this part:

def GSMmodem(Number, Message, Log):
"""
Send message to GSM modem.
"""

Delay = 4 # in sec.
MaxRetry = 3 # number of retries to re-activate GSMm
Retry = 0

Change MaxRetry to 1.

I use delete imsi and add my imsi.

I change the sim card and it added again the new imsi.

I start smscon-editor and:

smscon_boot is already active

But also:

smscon_daemon started

(so it wasn't enable? It was enable before i change the sim card)

Yes, it seems to have crashed before or while sending the SMS.

What does it give this command if you put it in xterm?

Code:

dpkg -l *gobject*

note: the "l" is a small "L".

I type dpkg -l gobject in the x-terminal:

No packages found matching gobject.

Brian, Sorry the command I asked you to check was wrong. Could you check again please?

Code:

cat /opt/smscon/smscon_config |grep DISABLESMS
