Hi,
I am having trouble connecting my Freematics ONE+ device to the cellular network. I am configuring the device using Platform IO and I can actually get it to transmit data to the Traccar Demo Server, using WIFI. But no luck on the cellular network as it keeps looping between "Searching" and "Activating" while printing the SIM Module 7070G and the IMEI. I have actually seen it go as far as printing the Network Operator name while I was testing the server configurations, but now that I have configured the server correctly I can not get it to go past the "Searching"/"Activating" loop. Please find below the sample of the monitor data:
CPU:160MHz FLASH:16MB
IRAM:329KB PSRAM:8MB
DEVICE ID:XXXXXX
TYPE:14
MEMS:ICM-42627
ACC BIAS:-0.03/0.01/1.01

Hello,
Have you found a solution? I am having the same problem with my one+ Model B

Re: Troubleshooting Cellular Connection on Freematics ONE+
Try leaving APN blank if using Freematics Builder or setting APN to "" in config.h
Re: Troubleshooting Cellular Connection on Freematics ONE+
I have exactly the same problem. Freematics ONE+ (Model B) keeps looping between "Searching" and "Activating".
I use Freematics Builder (firmware v5\teleloger) and with or without filling in the APN in the config.h or Builder: doesn't work.
I'm use an activated hologram.io SIM.

Re: Troubleshooting Cellular Connection on Freematics ONE+
1. Try keeping device searching for a longer time (first time use of a new SIM card may take longer).
2. Try powering device from OBD instead of USB.

Re: Troubleshooting Cellular Connection on Freematics ONE+
Hello All.
Same problem here.
Searching/Activating all the time.
I tried 3 different operators in my area (Ukraine) with no luck.
Also tried empty APN, same result.
Power with USB / OBD same result.
model: freematics one+ Model B
Any suggestions? Thanks
UPD:
ok, so possible workaround solution might be :
enable WIFI, setup WIFI SSID to wrong name.
now it works
