Not sending SMS while moving #12

Closed jLynx closed 5 years ago

jLynx commented 7 years ago

Hi I am having a problem where I can send a SMS to the device and have it send me another SMS back. This works fine while stationary(takes about 10-30 seconds to get a reply). But when I put it in my car and start driving and then send it a SMS to respond to, it doesn't send a reply right away, it takes about 2-10 minutes to reply to a single text. If I send it 2 in a row while moving it seems to reply within the normal 10-30 seconds but it only replies once, not twice (as I sent 2 text messages) Do you have any idea why this is happening? I have tested this on 3 other modules and I am having the save problem.

P.S I am not using the reset pin, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it, should it?

hello buddy. Maybe the problem is the bearerProfile, try to activate when is moving, or try to deactivate it using the functions : activateBearerProfile(); or deactivateBearerProfile(); i don't think that the problem is the reset pin.

@cristiansteib doesnt activateBearerProfile and deactivateBearerProfile only get called in updateRtc? Because i'm not calling that.

@DarkN3ss61 yes, is used for establish communication with the tower.. so, try to activate and use with this configuration activated, just to see if behavior change

Sim800l-1.5.0.zip I got it working. I think it was the delay 100ms that was in the send SMS. I changed that to _buffer=_readSerial(); then it seemed to work no problem. Also I added a few other things into it like deleting a single SMS etc

Perfect, i will going to see more deep the behavior of sms.. thanks !

Opps, scratch that. It made it better but still happens when I'm going 100kmh. Works fine around 50kmh now though

I feel like this could have been a power issue. I'll close this now.

The problem is solved for you?

jLynx commented 5 years ago

Kind of. But I have been messing with the sim 800 models for a few years now (even made a site out of the https://temp-sms.org) and I know that power is a big issue with these. They need to have the exact voltage and enough amps to handle them or you will have a bad time. Before I was just powering it with 5v over usb. And that would have been the issue. I cannot confirm and the project I was working on with this issue no longer exists, so can't test there. But I am sure it's a power issue.
