BG77 LTEM - HTTP DNS error (CME ERROR 714) after few hours

Hello,

We are facing issues related to HTTP DNS ERROR (+CME ERROR 714) with using BG77 module. It appears only few hours after boot.

Most of the time we are asking GNSS NMEA frames, but every minute we power off the GPS, do a HTTPS POST REQUEST to send GNSS data, then we power-on the GPS again and go further with NMEA messages.

This works fine, however few hours after boot every QHTTPPOST command gets a “+CME ERROR 714” (corresponding to a HTTP DNS error). Nothing is received by our server, and we never get back to the normal behaviour with HTTP 200 return code. It’s only resolved by a battery power-off/power-on of our device.

BG77 firmware version : BG77LAR02A04_01.002.01.002

Thanks for your help

based on your AT , you have use one roaming sim card , with roaming sim card , the BG95 will search network every 2 mins , i guess the root cause come from the procedure of network search ,

image

for the detail analysis , we need qXDM log to do more action .

pls try one local sim card first , If the problem persists,pls rech to support@quectel.com

Fixed with updating BG77 firmware to BG77LAR02A04_01.002.01.005 release

Hi,

I’m having a similar problem with a BG95-M3, it works well a few times, we also change periodically to GPS mode and back (1 minute in GPS mode, 2 minutes in WAN mode), and after a few minutes, we start having error 714 on QHTTPPOST. The firmware version is the following - bg95m3lar02a03_01.011.01.011

Should I update the firmware to a more recent version? Is there any other suggestion?

Best regards

Fernando
