Sxmo Tips & Tricks / FAQ

Here is a growing list of tips, tricks and configuration snippets for using Sxmo. This pages is intended to focus mostly on "non-core" issues, such as runnig apps and everyday usability. The core configuration issues should end up in sxmo doc, as discussed on https://todo.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-tickets/275


Sometimes Modem gets stuck

Sometimes the modem gets irresponsive, stops receiving/sending calls, even when toggled. Rebooting sometimes doesn't change this situation as it seems the modem then needs a hard reset.

Prefered solution: remove battery and reboot.


Sometimes SMS dont get sent/received

It may be a problem with MMS getting "stuck" in the pile, not being processed, and blocking further processing of SMS.

One solution involves mmsd-ng

Another solution is to manually use Modem Manager to delete the incriminated mms:

mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-list-sms

mmcli --modem 0 --sms 0

mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-delete-sms=##

mmcli --modem -r


How to easily change the size of the text, system-wide?

Change the value in: /usr/share/sxmo/appcfg/xresources_xft.xr (try 160!)

Xft.dpi: 192


if you remove the dpi line there you can set dpi on the fly via

xrandr --dpi x


How to send an SMS via command line (or ssh)

cat mysupersmsfile | sxmo_modemsendsms.sh +33123123123 -
