Hi, I'm trying to re-establish a 3G connection after a gsm signal loss and I'm getting some pretty strange results.
So first, some short and general questions : What should happen after going off gsm coverage and back again ? In particular, is ofono taking care of the network registration or does it need a manual call org.ofono.NetworkRegistration.Register ? Also, is ofono reactivating a previously activated context or does it needs a manual call ? I'm running my tests on the following platform : - Atom Z520 based. - 2 ethernet - 2 gsm modem: Option GTM382, usb ID 0af0:7601, firmware 2.9.4.0Hd - 1 wlan ath9k (unused for the tests) Software side: - linux 2.6.35.9 - connman 0.64 - ofono 0.36 - dbus 1.2.20 I'm using only one modem and I have a variable antenna attenuator to simulate gsm signal loss/retrieval. The device is not moving and the signal strength is around 60% without attenuation. The sim card used is configured with a dedicated password authenticated APN connected to our internal network through vpn. The context is created before the first test. Then the sequence of my test is as follow: - power-up device - call activate_context (no antenna attenuation) - Set attenuator to the max (-60dB) - Set attenuator back to 0 - call activate_context again I'm getting some mixed results: * connman crash (sig11) when stopping attenuation or reactivating context: This is obviously a connman bug (will post backtrace to connman ml), but after connman is restarted, the modem service does not appear and I have to restart both connman and ofono. Is there a startup dependency between connman and ofono ? * Network Registration stays in registered state with strength = 0 : This happens with attenuation set to -60dB. I haven't been able to catch some debug traces with AT_DEBUG on. I've waited one hour and nothing else happened. * Network Registration stays in searching state with strength != 0 : This happens after setting attenuator back to 0dB. I also don't have debug traces for this case. After waiting 15 minutes, I called the method org.ofono.NetworkRegistration.Register and things went back to normal. * Calling activate_context exits with timeout : This is the most common case, debug trace below shows that the modem never sends the _OWANCALL callback. After waiting more than an hour, I restarted ofono and called activate_context, it worked.

I can run some other tests and provide full logs if needed, Do you think there is something wrong with the test I'm running ? Might the modem be at fault ? -- Thanks for reading so far, Benoît. _______________________________________________ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono
