Freematic one stuck in Cell searching

sdntecha year ago

Hi All,

I have a Freematic one+ that I got working with demo.traccar.org. All of sudden one day device went offline and the serial monitor shows the issue below -

00:08:17.313 -> [GPS] 35.836899 -78.911011 0km/h SATS:9 Course:0 2023-09-11T04:08:17.200Z
00:08:19.932 -> [CELL] Activating...
00:08:32.011 -> CELL:SIM7600A-H
00:08:32.274 -> [CELL] Searching...

I can remove the SIM and use it in a cell phone and it works fine. However, when I use the same SIM in the device even when plugged in to OBD and car driving it does not connect to Traccar portal. Any Advice please?

Thanks,
sdntech

I was having the same issue and found that there was 5 pins on the board that were never soldered so depending on if the cover was on pushing down on the device was depending on how the pins were touching. You can check this by opening the device and pushing/pulling up slightly on the board, it should not move and be firm. Mine the one side would move up and down.. Took me two weeks to finally figure this out.
