[DEPENS] at+mode=2 stops the cell from reacting any more

[felixmoeller]

Just playing with trunk and found out the following.

Doing two msynctools --discover the second hangs at AT&F. This is caused by

        self.__do_cmd('AT+MODE=2') # change mode again
        line = self.__readline()   # swallow the "+MBAN" output that MODE=2 generates
        assert(line.startswith('+MBAN:'), "Unexpected output after AT+MODE=2: " + line)

Removing the block above solves the problem. Otherwise I know no other way then reattaching the phone. (RazrV3xv)

Nothing changed. So updating my ticket to 0.34.

Hi Felix,

Are you sure AT+MODE=2 is to blame for the hang? Does your phone reliably and repeatedly hang at this point?

The reason I ask is that I have observed my phone appearing to "hang" (ie. fail to respond to commands) when moto-sync starts talking to it, but this happened even before we changed to use AT+MODE=2. I have not been able to figure out what causes it, but unplugging/replugging the phone always fixed it, as it did for you. So, I would like to be sure that your problem is related to the change of mode before trying to change it (because this fixed bugs for other people).

Cheers, Andrew
