MMS is the kind of app I don't use often. But the times I need it it is absoutely crucial, nothing else will work as an alternative.

fMMS enables a rudimentary MMS funtionality on the N900, but let's be honest. As an app it sucks plain and simple. Anyone working on a better alternative?

How about suggesting improvements instead of just saying it sucks? I doubt anyone is a mindreader and can guess what kind of functionality you are missing.

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!

If you dont get it work with your mobile carrier it doesnt mean that the app sucks. fMMS has alway worked for me and i think we dont need alternative.

Or instead of submitting feature requests and saying it sucks, submit patches if you feel you can do a better job.

I have a feeling that won't happen, you know the reason.

Hmmm ok, i agree entirely with the responses, but lets try and be constructive
  • What does fmms do that you like? ie - features you want to keep?
  • What does fmms do that you would do differently? or would like to be done differently?
    (Bear in mind there are probably limitations)
  • What would you like to see removed from mms?

If you have been following the fmms design and function over the last year you would realise that mms was not possible, so what frals has done is to be congratulated - yes things can be done differently, and i'm pretty sure frals would listen if it made sense

It works pretty good for me. I receive an MMS (push) notification, fMMS loads when I click it, shows me the message. And I can send messages with pictures and text back.

What are the differences between Polite, Rude and Havoc methods? I have it on Polite and works well but never tried the other two.

# Polite: This mode only connects to the MMS APN if no other connection is active.

# Rude: Automatically takes down your current connection, connects to the MMS APN and when it’s done reconnects to the previous connection if possible.

# Havoc: This is what other phone does (albeit much more reliably), it opens a second connection to the MMS APN in parallel with the one currently open. As an added bonus, the MMS APN is hidden from the “Connections” UI in this mode as it does not need to be visible.
Due to the nature of the kernel in Maemo 5 there are some ugly hacks involved in this, so if your current connection and the MMS APN configuration share the same network namespace, things might get ugly. Also, if the application fails in some way when opening/closing a connection in this mode it MIGHT lead to the modem not being able to open a new GPRS connection until a device reboot. You have been warned. Note: I’ve been using this mode for more than 3 months and not yet had it happen to me

What I would like to see improved in fMMS in no particular order:
  • Ability to attach other media types
  • Multiple recipients for a single MMS
Those things aside I'm quite happy with it.
