Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Does anyone know how to solve this problem, every MMS i get i get like 3+ notifications per message. Also, when i try to view them, the ribbon notification drops down and says "download MMS" and then the ribbon goes away and nothing happens. I'm on Tmo USA btw.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Hey. Just wanted to start with the usual statement of gratitude for adding MMS support to my beloved N900.

I'm toying with importing of of content from VMG files into Maemo's eventlogger system, and in the course of looking at how it works, I've noticed that it outwardly seems quite easy to extend. I've given a *very* quick cursory glance at how fMMS stores it's data, and it seems to have it's own way of storing things though.

So I was wondering, has/was any consideration given to using the eventlogger system for fMMS's backend? My NBU files also contain all my old MMS messages, and it'd be nice to import those as well, though as they're small in number I'm not as fussed as I am about my SMS messages. Still, it'd be pretty cool to be able to import my MMSes the same way as my SMSes, rather than having to have a separate way of importing them into fMMS's data backend.

Read first post :) (long tap on the message)

Might be able to make it a gconf-setting, probably won't add it to the configuration dialog though

Make sure all settings are correct because in theory it should stop as soon as fMMS manages to send the "I downloaded the message now"-message, which requires correct settings.

I was looking at it at some point, but writing to my own sqlite was easier in the end to avoid concurrent access problem or accidentially corrupting the whole rtcom database. Not to keen on changing the database layout at this point to be honest, but I might be able to assist in how to get whatever import script you are using able to insert the MMS in to fmms.db :)

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

That lacking official MMS support is a pain in a ***!

My operator reconfigures the settings in HLR when SIM-card is replaced in N900 after it has been in another phone model before.

So, every time someone puts his/her SIM-card to another phone and back to N900, (s)he has to call to the operator so they manually turn the MMS on again. The operator says they do not even have to, but they just like to play nice. They blame Nokia not to provide fixed XML-config-files to the network devices.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Hi there just updated to the latest version (App manager).

Mine works fine although I have had to add in the setting my self (T-Mobile UK)

I was wandering why when I select "Havoc" mode the MMS send/receive takes a long time, but when I select "Polite" mode the send/receive works a lot faster.

Both times I was in 3.5G, and In havoc I was connected to the WLAN so no other apps services were using the GPRS to send/receive data except for fMMS.

Is it just me that's having this problem or anyone else?

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Now I'm really in a mess, it appears like.
I was on fmms 1.2.9 when I received notification about 1.3.0, but the 1.2.9 seems to have som serious issue with deinstalling. It always failed, have tried reinstalling, purging, trying to fix dependencies and all that typical stuff. Apt won't let me pass this error to install anything else at all.

Am I alone with this? Would be happy if someone could help me out, maybe the package owner.

Here's the problem:

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I had the same problem as you Larswad. Have you tried rebooting? That fixed it for me, oddly enough. (Though for me after the first time this happened FMMS disappeared from the list of installed stuff - though it was still there and working on the device - so I tried installing it a-new repeatedly before getting around to the reboot.)

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Like Dexter's sister Debrah said when she was astonished: Sh*t a brick and f*ck me with it!
That worked, I had never expected a reboot would do a difference for that kind of thing. Interesting, wonder what the problem was.
I wish I could thank you twice here Mentalist Traceour.
I'm back on track, thanks.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

hi frals noobmonkey advised me to contact you. am a complete dummy trying to install fmms but wont let me says there is app conflict with maemo 5. i dont know how to code or anything and is pretty daunting. any help please?

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I still, for the life of me cannot get this damn phone to download MMS from Tmobile. Does anyone have a guide? I've tried all different types of settings talked about in here and i still cant get it to work.

damn! I got it working but now it won't work again! LOL :mad:

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I've always had luck with havoc settings on t-mobile (USA) after following the other settings noted on the fmms wiki page.

i don't actually use fmms to create/send MMS, but this at least allows me to receive oversized SMS that seems to get auto-converted to MMS by t-mobile.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Now i could only send small image out.. before that i could send large image.. furthermore i checked that my network provider can send 300k... the small image only 7k.. hmm wonder where is the fault now...

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I'm having a little of trouble with this, so any help would be appreciated.
Everything worked fine prior to flashing PR1.3. I was able to send and receive using my normal Vodafone UK connection. I can still send using this connection but when I want to view new messages, I have the message:
"To retrieve the MMS your active connection will need to change". It then cuts the internet connection.

Ironically, my wife's phone does not have any of the same problems.

My Vodafone config settings are correct both in fMMS and in my internet connections.

What info can I provide to get help?

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Thanks, that would be most appreciated :)

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I can't get fmms to work. It either says
101 network unreachable - check settings
or
Timed out - check settings.

This despite have solid 3.5g signal.

I am on O2 in UK

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Hi

I just recently downloaded fmms 1.3.0, Trying to send and stuff. So I'm using vodafone Australia.

APN: live.vodafone.com
MMSC: http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend
HTTP Proxy: 10.202.2.60
Port: 8080

So thats what i Inputed. So like when I send, it does say message sent but the other side doesn't receive my mms. So what setting should i put. small medium large? polike rude havoc? the no. +61 or 0. Should i do it under 3g setting or 2g setting. Question like that. I sent like alot of mms but only like 2 were recieve for some reason. Maybe i Keep fiddling to much and now i dont know the optimal setting to send. Also when they do recieve my mms, its not the picture they receieve, its the link that they have to go to see the picture, so is that normal??

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Here's a new one. I only have 1 internet connection which is my standard Vodafone Internet GPRS (I deleted one called MMS using fAPN) and now when I receive an MMS, fMMS automatically connects to the internet. I open the MMS itself normally, and the message downloads automatically without asking to swap connections and crash.
In essence, it works now, but I'm not that keen on it connecting to the net automatically. Anyone else's automatically connecting?

wap.vodafone.uk
port 8799
212.183.137.12
mmm.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms
Resize setting is medium and network mode is rude (I had polite before).

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Ok my last post with regarsd to probs with version 1.28 & I was asked to do the X terminal thing & upload it, so X Term came back & said it couldn't find the package..FMMS so I un-installed it & tried to re-install it & it told me it was missing bits & pieces of files etc so I took a chance & installed version 1.30, successfully, & treid to send a MMS only for it to time out so I went to X terminal & tyed in the command & got ...
cp: cannot create ' /home/user/MyDocs/ ; is a directory

I've checked the Documents folder & deleted the tmp folder retried the command "cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/" get the same message & checked again still no log file regarding fMMS.

Sugestions including chucking this junky N900 away or even selling it & going back to my N96 till my contract expires & skip out nokia phones all together!

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Right, lets do this the easy way.
Install FileBox, ensure root access is enabled under settings, then navigate to /tmp/fmms.log, press and hold on it, then select copy.

Navigate back to MyDocs or where ever you want to put the file and press paste.

That does the same thing but without using terminal.

Read up on Unix and Linux, including shell scripts/terminal commands.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

ok im having a problem with fmms. i can recieve mms but i will recieve multiple mms that are the same. im not exactly sure if this is fmms or tmobile as ive heard some other tmobile users with the same issue on different phones. the more important problem is that while i can recieve mms i can not send. it will give me an operation failed message found_302 html something or other. if this has been asked already sorry! thanks for the help

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Previous version of fMMS worked perfectly. Now with this version my MMS internet connection is 'killed' by fMMS when trying to upload or download an fMMS message. I have to manually connect to MMS internet each time, and it still kills it. But then manages to retrieve the message. Why the change? The previous version would connect automatically and worked like a charm!

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

As I just wrote, the previous version connected automatically which I liked, now I get a message telling me 'failed' when someone tries to send me one because I'm not connected, so then I have to manually connect. Same for sending. If only Nokia included this feature in the flippin first place!!

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Can anyone tell me how to convert a wav i recorded on the n900 to a smaller audio file (mp3 or mp4) also on the n900 (meaning do the conversion on the actual machine) so I can send it via fMMS? I can send the wavs, but they are huge.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

The version 1.3.0 always connects automaticali during receving and sending of mms-but when network mode setting on HAVOC

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

hi, just trying to sort this thing out.

have pr1.3 and fMMS 1.3.0 on Optus network in Australia.

my mms will not download or open when it's on polite or rude, it will ask me to switch connections when i attempt to open. it will not open any mms at all. it just keeps trying to open.

when i switch to havoc it automatically switches to the data/mms connection but then half a second later i get the "unable to retrieve mms" error. can any one help ? thank you.

p.s. i have posted another thread welsewhere on this topic. thread name is" N900 pr 1.3 and fMMS 1.3.0 on optus does not work" thank you

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I've been using fMMS for several months (via T-Mobile USA, havoc mode), mainly just to catch oversized SMS messages that T-Mobile USA seems to convert to MMS.

After updating to fMMS 1.3.0, I started to experience problems sending and receiving SMS (not MMS), phone calls dropping, and general unpredictable/unreliable telephony behavior on the n900.

With fMMS 1.3.0, I've found myself rebooting the n900 occasionally, just to make sure I hadn't inadvertently missed SMS messages or phone calls, when I wonder if my phone is unusually quiet (no texts or phone calls for a while).

I've ultimately decided to just uninstall fMMS 1.3.0 for the time being, to at least regain stability for text/SMS messages and regular cell phone behavior.

Again, I only started experiencing this issues since I updated fMMS to 1.3.0, and I don't recall having these issues with any previous releases of fMMS.

Edit: I reset all settings, reinstalled fMMS, configured for T-Mobile USA again per MMS wiki, and things seem to be stable again.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

It seems that the fmms author isn't really interested in the project any longer. Or how should I read the fact that the meager documentation that exists is several releases old?

For example, the troubleshooting info at http://wiki.maemo.org/MMS#Troubleshooting_fMMS does not seem to correspond to the current version.

"How to verify settings are correct" -- nope, I don't have an APN called "MMS", and it does not seem to get created automatically. Should it be? Back in the early days of fMMS I remember something about using a separate piece of software to create an APN for this use, but these current instructions don't seem to say anything about this.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Perhaps you should start by reading some of the thread here. If you did, a lot of the questions you have would be answered. The author here is quite active still, making new releases. But if he spent all his time answering every question posted here, he'd never release a new version. And if you consider someone not replying back to your specific bug within a week as "not interested", there's lots of uninterested people around here.

As for the bit about the "MMS" access point, it IS still there if you use polite or rude mode. It's "hidden" if you use havoc mode (which I think is now the default). When I switch to polite mode (in latest version) I get a new APN called MMS. If I don't follow the instructions on the wiki (step 1 is select polite mode), and let it default to havoc mode, I DON'T see the MMS APN, because I'm in havoc mode.

If people don't read/follow instructions, helpful people are less likely to help out.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

slvr32: I'm actually on T-Mobile USA as well, with whatever the latest devel version of fMMS is, and I've had no problems. I think it's a matter of luck, but not sure. Do you use havoc, polite, or rude mode? (I use havoc - what region of the US are you in? I'm guessing T-Mobile might run things differently in different places.)

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I just updated my earlier post, and now I'm thinking that my n900 was just being whacky for a little while. Things seem fine after I did a complete reset of fMMS settings, cleared APNs, uninstalled, reinstalled, reconfigured, etc...

I use havoc, Southern California, generally don't have issues with fMMS, but I didn't verify fMMS settings after the 1.3.0 update, so I can't say for sure what happened.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Hello,
here I bought the Nokia N900 and installed fMMS and I have a problem that when I send MMS it fails to send the text that I wrote . Instead of text that I wrote it say's "Text fMMSpart52 was deleted due to: no legal rules found for this media (-1)" . I can receive image and text without problems when it was sent from another phone. Is there any solutions for that?

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

hello everyone, i need help with my fMMS. Since I updated to 1.3.0 I'm having problem with my recieved mms.what does the red * means?does it means the mms was corrupted?how can i open mms that was push?My setting for my fMMS is on polite which means that whenever someone send me an mms, i need to manually turn on my mms settings connection to recieve it and if I don't turn it on right a way the mms gets push which i'm having problem on opening. Is the a settings that I can do so it'll turn on the connection automatically and recieve the mms like the sms?Thanks a lot and I hope someone can help me

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

The red star means it hasn't been downloaded yet. And there is a way to connect to get mms in the background, it's called Havoc mode.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Please, can anyone share fMMS setting that actually works with Japanese Softbank?

I tried lots of user agents and server setting but the nearest thing I can come up with is an error message in Japanese about wrong setting. Most common error messages are with newer fMMS version saying cannot download messages.

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

Why can't fmms just autoconfig its self for the right operator? Would make life easier.....

Merry x-mas by the way :)

Re: [Announce] fMMS - MMS on the N900
 

I've installed version 1.3 today and had some problems to get it working.

In my case I had to modify <entry name="phonenumber" ...> in the /var/lib/gconf/apps/fmms/%gconf.xml because it was set to "0" and there is no way to edit this inside the fMMS itself (but maybe it's because I had one of the earlier versions installed and not configured properly).

Another thing I've noticed (but I'm not 100% sure) is that not having "http://" before MMSC server might cause a problem.

Now everything works fine with network mode set to Havoc.

Many thanks to Frals for this great app!
