Re: smsd monitoring for new incoming messages not working with latest CVS version/Nokia 6300

[Hartmut Benz]

Hallo,
I am having trouble with smsd as well, but with a Nokia 3109c.
With an old version (0.6.25 on ubuntu 8.10) it apparently was reading IN
0 (which is illegal and results in garbage), then fails to insert into
the db because of an illegal date (resulting from the garbage read
before), and then does not go on to read 1, 2,...
Then I upgraded to tarball 0.6.27/ubuntu 9.04, which apparently fixed
that behavior, but then ran into a segmentation fault when deleting an
sms (apparently a known bug).
Then I tried the cvs version, which fixed the seg fault, but after
reading the initial batch of available sms's, it seems to stop.

I battled my way through the code, yesterday, without too much success
(a tid bit of comments and documentation here and there would GREATLY
help newcomers to find there way around, by the way). Here is what I've
learned
In smsd/lowlevel.c: RealConnect
- (phoneMonitor.supported & PM_FOLDERS)
    is FALSE for reasons I could not determine.
    I would have expected this to be true (gnokii --showsmsfolderstatus
gives perfect results)
smsd starts up with xdebug like this:

- In GN_OP_GetSMSStatus, the 'number'-value continuously increases over
time, while unread==0 all the time.
  From what I understand reading the code I concluded that number should
be the number of mails in the folder.
  If that is so, the 3109c with 0.6.28cvs reports bad values (gnokii
--showsmsfolderstatus always shows good values)
- This 'number' value drops down to '0' after I restart the phone (off, on)
- After smsd has read/deleted sms from the phone, I can no longer open
the Inbox on the phone
  (reporting: Operation failed, try again :-). This error remains until
restarting the phone.
  Furthermore, the phone keeps claiming 'n unread mails'
  This happens as well when I delete with "gnokii --deletesms IN "

I have very limited time to debug much further on my own, but I will be
happy to do tests/report results under the guidance of someone that
isn't hampered by first having to understand all the code :-)

For the time being, I will try to convince 0.6.26 or earlier not to read
SMS location 0 and hope that this works...

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards
    Hartmut
