Now running 0.9.9 with the same problem, tried uninstalling/re-installing instead of just updating, nothing...

Anyone else with the same problem or better yet, a solution?

P.S. Truly loved the app when it worked!

Dunno what happened, but 0.9.11 now sends AND receives! The last time I was able to enjoy this full functionality was 0.9.4. Great!

I am vodafone UK also and confirm that I am using the same settings with the exception of the proxy settings. I don't access via proxy so mine are blank, this is the only area I can see you have a problem.

PS Mine has worked fine from the start on these settings.

Unless there is no visible notification that fMMS is checking for new messages on startup?

I'm using version 0.9.11-2.

I don't think that fmms is supposed to do that. It only connects to downloads a new mms when it has received a push sms.

You have to receive an mms (I usually send an mms to my self when testing) to check if fmms connects when receiving.

Hope this helps.

Ok I think I've actually solved the problem with MMS APN being made default when added. However, since which APN is the one configured for MMS is different for some people fMMS won't do attempt to do it's magic on an existing install (in practice, whenever /apps/fmms/apn key is set).

So if you are having problems with the MMS APN being default for "Connect Automatically" the following steps before installing fMMS 0.9.12 *SHOULD* do the trick:
NOTE: These commands clears all configuration settings for fMMS, so make sure you save the settings somewhere (http://wiki.maemo.org/MMS is a good place for connection settings ;-)) before running any command.

Open terminal:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/fmms
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN

Make sure to copy and paste these as a space in the wrong place is VERY LIKELY to bork system stuff.

NOTE: As of 0.9.12 the settings for fMMS might no longer be saved in /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN so deleting this might remove your GPRS Internet connection settings. However, a device reboot seems to restore the APN.

EDIT: Minor cockup in the packaging, 0.9.12-2 fixes this, on its way to -devel atm

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!

Ah, ok. This is where i was wrong then. I thought that everytime you load fMMS, it connects to your MMS APN to check for new MMS messages.

All cleared up then. It must be working fine for me.

Cheers.

The way MMS works is that your device gets sent a special kind of SMS that tells you "hiya theres an mms waiting, please fetch it at xxxx", this is what fMMS intercepts and handles

(Longer explanation is that there is actually a way to request the "mms inbox" from the operator to see if there are any unfetched messages, but this is a pita to implement and in most cases it's never needed

)

Btw, next release will have "Reply via SMS". Pretty sure this is the last feature before 1.0 ;-)

Decided to upload 0.9.13 now, was going to wait for some more testing of 0.9.12 but it should be fine... ;-)

Only change from .12 to .13 is "Reply via SMS" button in the viewer

Also, related blogpost: http://blog.frals.se/2010/04/29/fmms...of-the-tunnel/

tl;dr: promoting to -testing within a few days if no serious bugs are found

I'm getting the problem of default APN. This is my first attempt at testing fMMS, so there was no previous installation. I still got /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN though. Version is confirmed to be 0.9.12-2.
