Cannot send MMS, pepephone operator

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato]

I cannot send MMS messages with a Spanish MVNO operator, Pepephone. This happens in mako. The data context seems to be properly created, but the response status when uploading the MMS is "Unknown". Please see attached tcpdump.

The configured contexts are:

[context1]
Name=Internet
AccessPointName=gprsmov.pepephone.com
Username=
Password=
Type=internet
Protocol=ip

[context2]
Name=MMS
AccessPointName=mms.pepephone.com
Username=wap@wap
Password=wap125
Type=mms
Protocol=ip
MessageProxy=212.73.32.10:80
MessageCenter=http://mms.pepephone.com/servlets/mms

"tcpdump reception" contains the tcpdump of the reception case in mako for this operator, which is successful. This has been obtained with "tcpdump -i any" to capture everything, as context is opened when starting reception. rmnet_usb1 is the interface to look at.

Analyzing with wireshark, MMS version looks like 1.1:

X-Mms-MMS-Version: 1.1

tcpdump for r24

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

I tried with a very small image (100x100, 9kB) as Sergio suggested, but still no luck. I have not been able to collect tcpdump traces yet. I have noticed that in one of my Android phone I cannot send MMS messages either, but that I can with another one.

Thanks. Are the phones running the same version of Android? If not, which
version fails and which one works.

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

Not working: 4.2 (Aquaris 5)
Working: 4.4.4 (Moto G)

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

Since the operator sends an out of spec RespsonseStatus of 0 in the m-send.conf for the corresponding -send.req I would need more information on the carrier, one good way to get this is a tcpdump of when it works;

marking critical per victor

[Olli Ries (ories)]

updating to critical as per status discussion

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

Finally I managed to get traces of a successful MMS send. I used Nexus 4 flashed with Android 4.4.4, cyanogenmod.

tcpdump for MMS sent from hangouts, as requested by Sergio.

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

Adding a task for telephony-service to send jfif

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

@abeato can you try three things?

1- Send http://people.canonical.com/~sergiusens/mms/bug_pepe/jfif_fish.jpg
2- Use http://people.canonical.com/~sergiusens/mms/bug_pepe/nuntium and send from camera
3- Combine 1 and 2.

Then tell me which combinations work and which don't; also interested in knowing if the response status is different than 0b

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

Unfortunately, all 3 combinations failed. I have attached below the corresponding tcpdump traces for the 3 cases.

jfif was not the cause of the reject but the additional params for the content type

  * Using the same optional parameters android uses for sending, fixing
    length encoding for lengths < 30, adding extra params to the content
    types. (LP: #1349299)
