Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ushahidi/SMSSync/issues/82

SMSSync messages remain in 'pending' and do not sync.
To clarify - re-installed the sms sync app
although the application installed on my phone was v2.0.2 Beta before
also confirmed it was up to date

  1. checked the sync URL - it is https://indiaoye.crowdmap.com/smssync
    and is correct as per my crowdmap settings
  2. I have a SMS sync secret code but I have entered that too correctly
  3. Then there is the keyword 'oye' that I use for filtering messages to be syncd
    SMS sync worked fine. I could successfully sync messages till about 4th March, 2013

Am I missing a step, doing something or is this a bug/code problem?
Thank you.

@elle-espere Could you remove the oye keyword to see if it syncs?

I'm having the same problem with my Samsung running Android v. 2.2.1. I've checked and rechecked the configuration. I had but removed the secret code in both in the app and in the Crowdmap configuration. I am not using any keywords (left blank).

The URL I'm using is: https://lawsontechnologymanagement.crowdmap.com/smssync

SMSSync sees the incoming SMS messages. But I can't get it to send on the SMS, either with the auto settings or manually.

Thanks for any help.

Bob

Hi, the launch of our deployment depends on how quickly this matter gets solved.
Request you to please update me / provide me an alternative to sync in text messages.

@roadnews @manwinder @elle-espere try again. There has been a server side fix on Crowdmap. This should resolve the issue. Let me know how it goes.

@eyedol @elle-espere
Thank you ! The incoming messages are now getting synchronized.
However, there seems an inordinate delay in the outgoing SMS (Get Alerts messages in particular)

I am able to receive the email alert almost instantaneously but the sms alert takes a lot of time
Also we noticed that the date and time of the outgoing messages in the sms sync log corresponds to the year 1970. PFA a screen shot of my SMS Sync app log - might help you to narrow down on the outgoing sms delay reason.

Detailing the attachment.

The green box highlights the incoming message - which has correct date & time.
However the red one corresponds to the outgoing message - where the date and time is erroneous

Is there any update on the delay in sending alerts via SMS Sync
As apprised earlier, I receive an email alert almost instantaneously but there is a delay of about 4 hours and 30 mins in getting the sms alert for the same report.

Case in Point : I received an email alert for a report at 11:27 IST
But the sms alert for the same came at 15:57

That is a delay of 4hrs and 30 mins

@manwinder cc @eyedol This is still a problem, yes? Could it simply have to do with the your server's available speed/bandwidth?

Hi,

I am still facing the same problem. In SMS Sync App the message is still not appearing in the sent tab where as the message is successfully committed to HTTP URL. I can see the messages in my file. The problem is SMS sync is continuously retrying the same message again and again. I uninstalled my earlier version and reinstalled SMS Sync version 2.3 but the problem still persists. Request you to help me.

        success: "true"
    }
}

Hi eyedol,
Yes, my server returns
{
payload: {
success: "true"
}
}

as a response.
My server URL is http://www.isaarc.com/classifieds/inboundSMS.php
the secret key is '123456'. Even if i harcode the response as
{
payload: {
success: "true"
}
}

SMS Sync continously retrying the message. In addition the SMS message is not at all appearing in Sent tab, lying down in pending tab
Regards,
isaarc

I tried from two different android phone (ginger bread and jellybean) but with no luck. Is there any way i can disable the retry mechanism in SMSSync application?
