Greetings all,
First off, i have to apologize, I recently remember this application, therefore after seeing sooo many pages... i just read the first 2 and the last 2... But i have one question, you say you need to be connected to the apn to RECEIVE an mms? What happens to the actually mms that somebody randomly sends you when you are NOT connected to the apn? Will it loop back and around in your carrier's network until you actually decide to connect to the apn, or does it expire and gets deleted in the air?

Sorry if question has been answered already

I have finished setting it up and testing it, and all i have to say is the following:
GREAT JOB FLAPS!!!
lol, I'm a total linux noob, but following the wiki step-by-step, I installed it and configured it, and got it working on my very first try

I am in Montreal, Canada and use Rogers Wireless as provider. I had to edit the wiki page you had posted in the first link because some information were not properly enter, but from now on, any Rogers user in Canada can copy it word by word and it should be 100% fonctional.

A little fyi... I don't know if it's the same for other (american) providers, but I called up Rogers and spoke to 2 different technical support agents, and they told me (althought they admitted they weren't sure) that Rogers does NOT use a size limitation on MMS but that it all depends on the receiving phone. After thanking them and hanging up, I took a full 5mp picture, and used the FULL size of 2576 width, although it took about an entire minute to "convert" it, my gf received the full picture
So once again, thanks for the amazing job

(Two little sidenotes... it might be just me, but it seems like staying connected to the APN and the sending of MMS drains a lot of battery. And I lost access to my MicroSD card... had to restart to regain acces to it)

I think size (kb) is more the issue. I sent myself and image using 1024 as width. With T-Mo US, I think the limit is around 1MB for file size.

However, other carriers may resize, or worse reject the MMS. Verizon is about 300kB I believe.

You will receive av push-sms, so you know that a message is waiting.

It's not T-mobile. it's actually the type of phone your friends/families have.

A friend of mine had BB storm on Verizon. Whenever she send me an image, it would look quite small even after saving the image. I got her Moto Droid and now the picture she send me are very big. (Cover N900 screen if saved) In FmmS, it would take up about 66% of the screen or more.

Same experience with Google G1 - good image while Samsung something.. small image.

From what I learn from this thread, 300 is the setting you are senting out to people. So far, I changed my setting to 600 and it work perfectly fine. I will probably try 1000 until I sent out the same width as my friend Driod.

Might've reported this already, or something similar, but at least when sending a mms to friend with for example normal cell and work cell number, it won't show name for the work cell number in the message log.

Another question...
1) Why when I delete messages from application and after this if I look in to the folder: /home/user/.fmms/mms and /home/user/.fmms/sent I see all messages here... Why it's not deleted from device ?
just wanted to say that this is similar to my device as well; while there is nothing in the /mms folder my sent message is in the /sent folder. Is there a way to clean it out?

My log file here...
Seems I got a bug related to deleting sent messages, thanks for reporting, I've added it to the fix-list

It won't let me grab the file from mediafire, you could you email it to me instead please?

About the contact search, it's case sensitive which might be why you are having troubles with it (looking at changing it)

Uh, might be permission problems on that folder (but it shouldn't be... Need to do some testing). Please run the following in x-terminal:
ls -l /home/user/.fmms/mms/C1S5ZgSwoOOUMAAG28AAAACQADNdEAAAAA/

and paste the output

Yeah known issue, I'm waiting for some hints from the pymaemo team how to integrate properply with libosso-abook which I think is coming...

rm -r /home/user/.fmms/sent/ should do the trick... I think

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 -->
