      System info: os.uname()

      (sysname='GPy', nodename='GPy', release='1.20.2.r4', version='v1.11-ffb0e1c on 2021-01-12', machine='GPy with ESP32', pybytes='1.6.1')
      

      Modem firmware version sqnsupgrade.info():

      <<< Welcome to the SQN3330 firmware updater [1.2.6] >>>
      >>> GPy with firmware version 1.20.2.r4
      Your modem is in application mode. Here is the current version:
      UE5.2.0.3
      LR5.2.1.0-48829
      +CEREG: 80
      

      I have been trying to attach a Pycom GPY to the network with a Things Mobile SIM card. The code that I am using is based on the tutorial found here.

      My code:

      from network import LTE
      import time
      import socket
      
      # bands
      # GPy supports: 3, 4, 12, 13, 20, 28
      
      lte = LTE(debug=True)
      
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT^RESET'))
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CFUN=0'))
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="clearscanconfig"'))
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="RRC::addScanBand band=20"'))
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","TM"'))
      print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CFUN=1'))
      
      #lte.attach(apn="TM", band=20)
      print("imei: " + str(lte.imei()))
      print("iccid: " + str(lte.iccid()))
      print("attaching..",end='')
      
      lte.init(debug=False)
      rsrpq = None
      fsm = None
      while not lte.isattached():
          rsrpq2 = lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CESQ').strip()
          if rsrpq2 != rsrpq:
              rsrpq = rsrpq2
              print(time.time(), rsrpq)
          fsm2 = lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="fsm"').strip()
          if fsm != fsm2:
              fsm=fsm2
              print(time.time(), fsm)
          time.sleep(0.1)
      print(time.time(), "attached")
      

      When trying to attach the FSM log shows that RCC TOP FSM goes from SCANNING to SYNCING to CAMPING and finally CAMPED. This cycle runs endlessly.

      One full cycle log:

      I have also tried another SIM card from a different operator (and changed APN setting). With both SIM cards I tried using different bands with the same result.

      I know that the first time attaching it might take a long while (Pycom guides say ~30m). But in some occasions it has been running for ~1h 30m with no luck.
