Messages stopped being received on phone
Hi folks, I recently noticed that Alerts (Messages) have stopped coming to my phone. The last one was on 8-January '24. The car is still operating / charging normally, and has been driven since then. The Battery, Car, and Location screens are up to date and live. The OVMS module is connected to the home Wi-Fi, as normal, and I can access it through the internal web server (dashboard, status, etc.). But the phone app's Messages page stops at 8-January. I've not messed with the module in a long time. Last boot, in fact, was a crash back in July 2023, from which it recovered normally. (So lovely seeing an uptime in excess of 17 million seconds.) So, what happened back on 8-January? The only thing I can think of was that Android is being more aggressive about shutting down background processing (in the name of increased battery life), but leaving the app running in foreground and triggering an event still wasn't seen on the phone. I can see them on the Web's Dashboard, so the events are being generated and processed otherwise normally. The phone is a Pixel 7a, Android 14. OVMS firmware is 3.3.003/ota_1/eap (build idf v3.3.4-848-g1ff5e24b1 Sep 1 2022 08:40:30). Any ideas? Thanks, Greg
Greg, 8th of January matches our preparation steps for the Firebase messaging migration. But that to my knowledge didn't involve any change to the server yet, and should only have added the Firebase instance to the Google cloud account without disabling the old GCM. Also… if it was an issue of the server / Google cloud, there certainly would be other users affected. I assume you didn't install the beta test App build yet? That could be worth a try. The new build works with both the old & new server API. Google wrote the old Android APIs would continue to work until June, but maybe that was too optimistic?
