Connection reset - SocketException

Kazim Noorani yesterday

Hi, I'm trying to understand some behavior with GT06 devices on our self-hosted server (Traccar 6.14.4).

Every device on our server follows the same cycle:

  1. Connect → login (0x01) → server replies (ACK)
  2. Status (0x13) → server replies (ACK)
  3. Device sends an extended 7979-header packet, protocol 0x94 (MSG_INFO) — e.g. 79790008940009ce020c101f0d0a
  4. No reply is logged from the server for that specific packet
  5. ~1-2s later: Connection reset - SocketException, disconnect, then immediate reconnect — repeating every ~10-15s

This happens identically across all 4 of our device IMEIs, not just one unit.

Is a server reply expected for MSG_INFO/0x94 packets? Could a missing ACK for this message cause the device firmware to reset the TCP connection? Happy to share the full log, device model, or a pcap if that helps. Trying to figure out if this is normal GT06 clone behavior or something we can fix on our end.
