nokia 6310i not responding after some time anymore

[Michal Pronay]

Hello,

i'm trying to get my old nokia 6310i working as a sms gateway trought a
serial cable. It works just fine until a moment, when i can't send
anything or identify the phone anymore. Sometimes it happens after 1
hour (10-20 sms), sometimes it happens after 1 day.

Only one thing helps. To unplug the phone, restart it and plug it back in.


----- echo "" | gnokii --sendsms 12345678 --------

This is the debug output when i try to send a sms:
GNOKII Version 0.6.8
LOG: debug mask is 0x1
Lockfile /var/lock/LCK..ttyS0 is stale. Overriding it..

------- config file ----------------------------
# This is a sample ~/.gnokiirc file.  Copy it into your
# home directory and name it .gnokiirc.
#

[global]

# Set port to the physical serial port used to connect to your phone.
# Linux version is:
port = /dev/ttyS0
#
# For MacOSX you will need something like:
# port = /dev/cu.USA28X1P1.1
#
# For Win32 you want to use:
# port = com1:
# or similiar.
#
# Use this setting also for the Bluetooth connection:
# port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

# Set model to the model number of your phone. For the
# Symbian phones use:
# model = series60
# For other non-Nokia phones and when you want to use AT
# mode use:
# model = AT
# If you can't figure out what to put here read the FAQ.
# If it still doesn't help, consult gnokii-ml or #gnokii at freenode.
model = 6510

# Initlength controls the number of characters sent to the
# phone during initialisation.  You can either set it to
# the word "default" or a positive integer.
#
# You can try setting this value if you want to connect
# to the phone quicker.  If you've never noticed the
# connection to be slow, it is suggested that you
# leave this alone.  Read the initialisation code in fbus-xxxx
# to understand what this changes if you're curious.
initlength = default

# The type of the connection, for IR set this to infrared or irda.
# For the nk6110 driver only infrared is valid for the IrDA connection.
# See Docs/gnokii-ir-howto for more detailes on this.
# If you have 6210/6250/7110 phone and dau9p cable (the one you can
# use with 6100 series and cannot use hardware modem from the phone)
# you may want to use 'dau9p' value to get faster initialization.
# If you use dlr3 or dlr3p cable for nokia phones in FBUS mode (ie.
# you don't use model = AT) you may want to use 'dlr3p' value here.
# Note that it is recommended and currently the best way to use this
# cable with nk6510 driver.
connection = dlr3p

# Set this to 'yes' if you want gnokii to set and check the lock file in
# /var/lock directory. It avoids potential conflicts with other serial
# port software (eg. minicom). If you have wrong permissions for the
# directory, a warning will be generated. If you don't want a lockfile, set
# it to 'no'.

# Value -1 forces the fastest 'block' writing,

# Gnokii "AT" model uses software handshake by default.
# Possible values: hardware (RTS/CTS - 7 wires) or software (XON/XOFF -
3 wires)

# This parameter enables the retransmission policy. Ie. if the phone doesn't
# respond, we send the frame again. This happend mainly with the older
# phones. You may want to enable it when you see mysterious timeouts.
# Be very carefull with this option. It is suspected to cause phone breakage
# with new DCT4 phones (like Nokia 6100). By default it is switched off
