Hi, I'm new to Maemo. How do I get the settings to create new application catalogs?

Frals,
Thanks for a great app! I can send fine, but cannot receive. I am using TMobile USA. I never get any push notification or anything. I have had my recipients simply click the reply button then reply and I also had them try to send a new MMS to me and I never get anything. They can receive my MMS's to them fine though. Here is my log

In the future, please PM or email me the log contents as the page gets quite messy since it's a lot of output

Seems like the push message never even reaches the phone, which indicates your operator doesn't send them to you.

To debug it further, you can kill any fmmsd that is running
(ps aux|grep fmmsd, then kill <number in first column>), start it manually: /opt/fmms/fmmsd.py and make sure its running successfully (it wont print anything, just an empty new line)
Open a new terminal and do: tail -f /tmp/fmms.log and then send yourself an MMS.

It should print something along the lines of:
2010-02-12 20:56:19,978 fmms.wappushhandler: SRC: 654321:9200
2010-02-12 20:56:19,981 fmms.wappushhandler: DST: 2948
2010-02-12 20:56:19,984 fmms.wappushhandler: decoding...

If it doesn't, your carrier is probably not sending you any SMS Push messages, and you'd have to call them and ask if they are blocking incoming MMS for you or similiar.

OH YEAH FMMS WORKING!

I had been having problems with apn errors on at&t, and finally got a tech on the phone who knew what he was talking about. They still have my phone listed as a 1st gen iphone(which was like 4 phones ago!) in their systems back end. Of course the 1st gen iphone wasnt mms capable and the permissions werent set for mms. The tech set the permissions as a generic Sony Ericsson phone, and right away with the settings used in the wiki, FMMS worked like a charm.

Thanks Frals for all your help!

Haha I sent a small ringtone out and it worked fine! Love this app!

I have a very annoying issue with fMMS gui.

The buttons to not show and are just flat black color. (it blends in with background)
Also, the font colors are black on black even in the default Nokia Blue theme.
I've tried now about 6 different themes on the N900. Pretty much every other app looks as it should. Buttons, fonts etc.
Only fMMS is like this. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling fMMS. Still same.

Any ideas?

Screenshot using the default Nseries theme:

Notice how TO button is flat black. Also, the phone number is black on black as well as any content writing....
The opening screen with NEW button is also the same. (flat black - No button shaped outline..)

He, one step closer to automagic autoconnect... http://gitorious.org/fmms/fmms/commi...b9d4032dbcc46e




@jakiman: Really weird - I'm running default theme here and can't reproduce it. Do you get any output if you run it from terminal (/opt/fmms/fmms_gui.py)?

No output. fMMS launches just fine. Yeah, it's really annoying and it's probably something which was done/installed on my phone. But if so, it's really weird how pretty much only fMMS is showing such symptom. I might just backup everything and reflash. But I really don't want to considering it's only happening in fMMS so far. Hmm.

Wow! I can now send and receive MMS messages on my Nokia N900.

This reminds me of when I got my Commodore 64 back in 1983 or 1984. It took a little effort but it would do computer stuff.

This program took a bit of effort to configure but it does phone stuff!

I saw two version number changes between the time I downloaded the package and the time I finally was able to get everything set up to make it work. This is a rapidly evolving program.

At the moment it does exactly what it says it can do. From here on out I can see it getting only easier to use.

Thank you to everyone who has had a hand in putting this together. You've beaten iPhone in the "launch to MMS capable" race by months, if not a full year or more!

Hi frals,

I'm having a problem after updating from 0.3.2-1 to 0.3.4-1, and update to 0.3.6-1 didn't help me either. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program many times, deleted the database and mms folder manually, but it just wont start.
The program starts with the normal black screen saying fMMS at the top, it's loading about five seconds and then goes back to desktop.
The log in /tmp/fmms.log is empty. Is there any other log I could look at?

Thanks, Mikko
