Thereseems to be an issue with EE blocking certain SMS senders, I have an issue not getting SMS two factor authentication text messages from GoPro to access my account (paypal, ebay, and others all fine for now) . The last time I got a 2FA sms from GoPro is came from sender 'NOTICE' and I cannot check the originating number.

All was fine back in March but now I don't receive the messages and can only assume that EE has decided to block what it considers to be a 'spam' originator for SMS messages, it would be good if there was a way to see blocked sms via the app.



I have contacted GoPro support and the suggestion is that SMS are sending from their system, and as SMS messaging is not like email with ways to check deliverability I am now needing to reduce security on my account.



Any assistance on this EE?


This seems to be an issue with EE blocking certain SMS senders, I have an issue not getting SMS two factor authentications from GoPro to access my account (paypal, ebay, and others all fine for now) . All was fine back in march but now I don't receive the messages and can only assue that EE has decided to block what it considers to be a 'spam' originator for messages, it would be good if there was a way to see blocked sms via the app.


I looked into the GoPro community and a lit of the issues mentioned were not UK based, I don't have access to a non EE sim at present to be able to try an alternative network as a troubleshooting process. It is not like I am a new customer migrating from elsewhere, I have had the same account and number for 20+ years through One2One >T-Mobile >EE.

Turning off 2FA is not a huge issue (I would prefer to have it enabled however), but now wondering if there are other automated SMS services that could be being blocked. My main issue is that email providers give us the ability to find what they consider spam in a handy location, but SMS messages get binned off without having an option.

Time to call EE CS and see if there is any change to things in the last two weeks...


I've been visiting a place in the USA that is popular with tourists. A local friend mentioned that they found a lost GoPro a few months previously, but they had no idea how to use it, so they asked me take a look at it.


After the high-level skimming of the photos (I ignored the videos because who has time for that), I decided to take a closer look at the details, in particular clothing accessories and other personal items that might provide some identifying data.


Sure enough, in one photo Mr Smith was wearing a hat with a company logo "ACME Corp". This was not a company most people had heard of, so I thought there might be a good chance Mr Smith worked there. Clue number 2!


I went to the (thankfully short) list of employees and the first person I see is a Mr Bob Smith. He bore a resemblance to the man in the photos, yet looked a lot younger. Reading his bio, I realized he was too young to be the same person.


Slightly dejected, I went back to the employee list and continued scrolling. Not much farther down, I see Mr Bill Smith who looked like a 90% match. I opened up his profile and right away I knew he was the camera owner. He even had a clearer photo from an event he had attended, and there was no doubt it was the same person.


Unfortunately, there's a snag. Mr Smith did not have any LinkedIn activity in the past year. So it's unlikely he will respond (soon). He also has a profile on Twitter, but it's locked down with little activity.


I will try other avenues for contacting Mr Smith. It those fail, then I guess finders keepers. My friend will get to hang on to, and use the GoPro. I will make a backup of Mr Smith's media and keep it in case I find a way to reunite him with it.


If you read this by any chance, Mr Smith & associates, please check your LinkedIn messages, or message me on Twitter or Mastodon . There's also a Contact form that I barely check. The same applies to anyone who knows someone who's lost a GoPro 11 Black in recent months.


To follow up on step 5, after waiting a while for Mr Smith to respond on LinkedIn, I noticed that the younger Mr Smith (brother?) had recent activity, so I messaged him with a summary of why I was trying to contact the older Smith.


I'll leave you with a parting tip. During this investigation, various people online were recommending putting a contact.txt file with your info in the memory card of a camera or other device that might get lost. Very common-sense advice that hadn't occurred to me until now.


Specifically I am building a 3 camera simaltaneous video acquisition system. Would really appreciate any insight on this. I may go back to GoPro and ask them if they would offer up the Phone API and get the command sequence.


The article is called, "How Do I Connect to Ethernet Instruments with NI-VISA?". It isn't specific to GoPro in case that is what you were looking for. If you delete the period off the end of the URL it should fix the link.


Currently, I am looking for the same project you were looking for. I need to sync four GoPro hero black 6 cameras and trigger them using Labview while I am able to sync my other instruments such as micro tensiometers, wire wave gauge, sensors, and ADVs. Now I just need to sync and trigger my cameras by Labview. ANy idea?


I did not solve the problem. My recollection at the time was there were a number of articles of using Python with a GOPRO. I did a quick look again and found this. -mit-GoPro/td-p/3624234. I did not look at the VIs but it may be helpful for you.


Hi nifireflan,



Were you able to find a solution to this problem? I see you asked AMANJ a few months ago. I am gambling that he responsed to you directly haha. I too have a need to connect and trigger several GoPro camersa using LabView. Any guidance would be appreciated!



Thanks,

William
