Here are settings that work partially for me. They allow me to send/receive to/from my wife and myself. However, I've tried sending a couple of photos to a friend with an iPhone on AT&T and they appeared to me to be sent fine, but apparently never arrived on her phone.

Code:

Access point name:   wap.voicestream.com
MMSC:                         http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
HTTP proxy:                 216.155.165.50
Port numer:                8080

I guess there was more than one typo in those instructions. I am now using these settings successfully, as far as I can tell.

Code:

Access point name:     epc.tmobile.com
MMSC:                          http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
HTTP Proxy:                  216.155.165.50
Port Number:               8080

Without the proxy I get a gateway timeout trying to send MMS messages. I don't really know what any of this stuff does, and am just groping around in the dark trying to find a working config. I'm on the unlimited web plan, with the internet2.voicestream.com apn if it makes any difference.

I used your settings but I still get a "Unable to retrieve message" error; Just to be sure, I double-checked the settings -- they appear to be correct.

I also have the unlimited data plan or to be exact :

Hi, just installed fmms 1.1.9 on my Nokia running 1.2 last nite. Im using the Vodafone network. I have used the setting listed on here and have recieved some totally fine, works great

Cant send any though. In the setting section, under 'advanced', I have nothing entered for IP address, primary or secondary. Should I have and where do I get that info?

When I try to send a pic I get the following message....

Operation failed
(32, 'Broken pipe')
Please check your settings

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a question .. how do I disable fMMS???

The only way I have found is to uninstall it when I don't wish to use it (there are specific times I don't want it running).

I'm a little confused by what you mean by "running"? There is nothing actively running for fMMS except for when you have the GUI open or the push daemon has been activated by a notice from your carrier that a message has arrived.

By default when the push daemon gets info from the carrier about a new MMS message (via an SMS-like message), it stores that data in the fMMS database, and then (based on settings) may try to retrieve the data portion in the background. If you mean you don't want it downloading MMS in the background, jut change the network setting to polite. Then it will always ask before downloading. The push message itself (the SMS portion of the MMS) is sent by the carrier through, and there's no way to stop those, short of going off-line.

If you're talking about the audio message, I'm pretty sure that's handled at the system level for sounds and what not. There's no way to stop fMMS (or most message providers) from triggering the system to tell it that it got a new message. Though you can put the device on silent mode, or use an app like led pattern changer to change the pattern and/or response for each message by type.

If neither of those addressed what you're trying to do, please be more specific on what exactly you want "disabled". It may be fMMS could use one more feature if there's enough people that want it.

I keep getting "Unknown Sender" message and then it show "00000" in the inbox. Clearly it need to fetch the number out of the recieved log somehow and then translate it into numbers then comparing it with the contacts.

Seems to be a bug I guess.

Here's the ideal situation: you have Polite | Rude | Havoc .. I'd like to find out how to have "Off".

I get nagios alerts, but only through fMMS -- they don't go through to SMS on the n900, hence I installed fMMS as a solutions for that.

When I disconnect 3/3.5g data and connect via wifi - I still get the MMS messages from fMMS.

TIA

I'm confused still... 3/3.5G has nothing to do with MMS. And fMMS has no control over your carrier sending MMS push requests to your phone.

Before you installed fMMS the carrier was still sending you the push request, but there was no registered handler on the N900 for that type of alert, so it was silently dropped, never to be seen again, with no way to retrieve the MMS later (unless your carrier has an on-line way to do that). With fMMS installed in polite mode, it gets the push and stores the data it needs to pull it later if you choose to, but does not download the data. Even if fMMS were uninstalled (or not installed to start with) your carrier is still going to send the MMS push requests unless you specifically call and ask them not to.

(PS. I'm not the author of this app. I just happen to know a bit about how it works from looking it over. The app author does occasionally look here though, but doesn't have time to reply to everyone, so some of us help out on occasion.
