First, sorry if I have missed something in some earlier post about this.

Regarding the User Agent string. Is there currently a way to let us change it? I'm in Japan and the Softbank network here will check the User Agent to determine if the phone originates from Softbank. If it's not a model sold by them, they block the sending and receiving of MMS.

I'd like to spoof the User Agent but not sure where I can make the change.

Thanks for you help in advance.

Oh, found it. I substituted in the required User Agent and also the URL for the User Agent and now I can send and receive MMS to myself.

However, I see that we currently cannot send to email addresses. Also, if the MMS originates from an email address then the download of the MMS fails. I don't know if you are aware of this. The reasoning for me is that in Japan lots of people use MMS as a form of phone email and pretty much everyone will have some phone email address to send MMS to instead of using the phone number itself (you cannot send SMS cross networks here, only MMS).

Either by opening the sent message in fMMS or by checking the file manually in /home/user/.fmms/sent/<somenumber>/filename.
oh darn... well thanks mate...

my sent folder pic is big but the receive one is so smal....

Hi guys & Frals,
Just to say this is now working great for me (not that it wasn't before). I'm on O2 in the UK and the other day I got home and O2 had decided to send me some new connection settings (anyone else on O2 get this?) - my APN is now O2 Post Pay GPRS - first I was annoyed for letting it through and overwriting my original settings, as it now uses a wap apn.

But saying that, I later received an MMS from a friend - and amazingly, it was on my phone when I looked at it! I picked up my phone and the notification of the push sms was there alongside the new MMS notification! I was very much impressed!

Now I just need to make sure I'm not being charged differently for my internet access!

With version 0.4.0 I've not seen any problems, though I've only passed mms between Tmobile and other o2 users. All works smoothly so far.
Thanks again.

Great that you found it. Out of curiosity, what UA do you need to send? Would Nokia N97 suffice?

Hmm.. Never tried that as my carrier doesn't allow it - could you email me /tmp/fmms.log when you try to download an MMS sent from an email address? <myusername>@frals.se

Thanks!

No, the push sms is added by fMMS as well. Without fMMS the push sms would just be ignored and you'd never know about it (unless your operator sends you a "real" sms with a link to the MMS instead )
__________________

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!

fMMS - MMS for your N900
fAPN - GUI for adding a new GPRS APN
If you like this post, don't be shy to thank me -->

Using fMMS 0.4.0

1. The auto-connect feature works with T-Mobile US when sending an MMS. This is very cool!

2. The auto-connect feature appears to fail when receiving an MMS.

MMS will download if I manually change access point after receiving the "fMMS failed to download" message.

3. The list of sent MMS does not reflect what I have actually sent. I am unable to figure out exactly what the pattern is here.

4. The list does not reflect the correct sender for the MMS I have received. The name of the next to last person to whom I sent an MMS is shown as the sender even when it is from a different person.

5. fMMS receives via MMS *.mp3 files that will play. It does not want to accept for sending *.mp3 files.

I was unable to locate the /tmp/fmms.log so I am unable to attach it.

Is there a plan for adding a "detach and save as" function for the files received via MMS, or have I missed it?

Thank you for mentioning tapping the photo. A long press on the filename bar at the bottom of the MMS opens the mp3 in the Media Player which then allows me to save it as a playlist. A long press on an image brings up the "Open" pop-up which then opens the file and allows for saving. Double tapping had no result on my device.
