Hi Giacinto,
Just got response from the hardware contractor.

It is LTE Cat-M1, the operator is Telstra in Australia. I will be very
interested in finding out what is going on.
Thank you.

Hi Giacinto, thanks for your response.

It is uBlox SARA-R4 chipset, did you mean it could be caused by weak
LTE signalling level? It is a prototype device, the hardware was
designed by an contractor. Any simple way to show LTE signalling level
in connman or ofono log files? The trouble is it connected well at
startup, then dropped it, it is hard to convince the hardware
contractor it is hardware problem unless I have strong evidence that
is not the software problem.
Thank you very much.

Unsalble cellular connection
by JH
Hi,
I have a device connect to 4G LTE, it was in good connection status on
start up, after a couple of hours, it dropped LTE connection, the
ofono did not show any errors, but connman had lots of error messages
at following, could any one help to explain what could be the problem?
Could it be ofono issue or connman issue? The device has small flash
size which don't have enough space to debug tools.
