After rebooting, fMMS "detected" and displayed the correct mms settings for my operator.

1st Issue for me: when I started having problems sending mms's I naturally switched from Havoc to the other two modes to see if I could make it work. In the process of doing this, I noticed that when fMMS recreates the APN in the connections list, regardless of whether the settings include a proxy or not, the corresponding checkbox for "Use Proxy" in the Connections Settings dialog (the one provided by the OS itself) is never enabled. The value for proxy and port are stored there, at first, but since it's not enabled, I'd wager the connection doesn't work.

Now, and again I'm assuming this is intentional, when on Polite or Rude, fMMS reads the APN configuration as stored in the OS connections list. Since this was created with the proxy checkbox unchecked, as soon as you switch out of Havoc, fMMS's internal settings for proxy go blank. Placing a check on that box results in fMMS obtaining all the settings correctly. Sorry for all this, but I didn't see it reported in the last few pages.

First test send on Polite was successful, but app crashed or closed shortly after (apparently, immediately after I manually closed the mms apn connection -- gave it a good few seconds between getting the "message sent" dialog and closing it). Log file shows some errors.

Follow-up to the above: can't get the app to receive said mms (sent it to myself). Push-for-mms came shortly after fMMS crashed, pressed it and fMMS opened without issue. Clicked on received message, get no error dialog, app just keeps on "working" (ie, get that "still processing/working" animation at the top). Doesn't crash, though, pressing to close closes app immediately (yesterday the app was hard crashing on me).

Another note.. Somehow between failing to send with Rude and sending successfully but not being able to receive with Polite, the dreaded Use Proxy checkbox got unset again.. Does fMMS recreate the APN even if you're switching between Polite and Rude?

Second attempt to send through Polite worked, again, log file seems to get less errors -- but this time I didn't close the APN at all (though there was a period there where it was "crossed out"). Reception was flawless this time. Tried receiving the other mms that had failed, asked me to disconnect current connection (odd, it was the MMS APN), clicked Yes, took a little longer than the other one, but eventually retrieved my mms.

(didn't test Havoc as it's harder to see what's going on)

One last thing, no idea if it's related to fMMS or not: since the last few updates and the issues, I routinely unlock my N900 to find an open dialog for "Select Connection" -- something I've never had happen to me aside from using the Maps app (when it tries to get A-GPS data).

Feature request: (I know I'm pushing it, but hey, doesn't hurt to ask ) Something like File Manager has for deleting files on fMMS's main dialog. Ie, something that allows me to mark multiple messages for deletion at once, as opposed to deleting each one by one (testing in particular creates a lot of fluff).

Mind you, the fMMS I was on before updating it 2 nights ago was the really really old one where it had nothing to do with selecting Rude, Havoc, or Polite or anything like that. It was the one where I had to set my APN seperately and fMMS seperately and everytime I wanted to send or receive, I would have to manually switch APNs first.

Now with this new one I just updated to 2 nights ago, I'm having all the problems everyone else is having. So is there anyway I can revert to the old fMMS for now until this problem is fixed? I receive at least 3 picture messages a day and I can't go with out MMS for that long.

When connected to wlan and on rude mode fmms takes down my current connection but does not open up the mms connection? any idea? I have to choose the mms connection myself and if i do so its no problem to send the mms. I tried to test this: connect to the mms apn send the mms and when the mms was sent i quickly took down the connection but i got the mms anyway? Receiving is not a problem only sending.

This is quite annoying because now I'm always checking my connection to make sure Im connected correctly. Is there any way to have my main internet connection treated as preferred or something else that will fixed this problem?

Other than that great app, works great!

Also, I have never had any problems with the APN; I've vreated two, one for Internet and one for MMS => never any problems!
So, great app!

But, one question: How can I save the received image to my N900?
This might be a stupid question, but I can't find a way to do it...

Thanks in advance!

I do have a problem though... I'm on the vodafone network in australia. It seems that i can only send mms messages to other vodafone mobiles. All the messages i send seem to leave the phone without issue but will only be received if the other phone is vodafone. sending to email addresses works fine. Any advice for this problem? Thanks again!

Ooh forgot to mention, i can receive mms messages from any network...
