Same here, I need to disable wifi to be able to send MMS from Free Mobile.

Also, I can't receive MMS, with and without wifi (people have tried to send me some 4 hours ago).

[Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens)]

Can I get the details from running https://github.com/sergiusens/network-test-session and trying a send and a receive (timestamp when doing which if doing everything in the same bundle)

[Julien Cognito (juliencognito)]

Hello,

Same problem here: i can send but not receive. Free Mobile for me, Orange & Sosh for others on a forum.
I try to install (with sudo) your network-test-session on my BQ Aquaris E4.5 but "Permission Denied" to phablet-testools.list
Sorry about that

Same problem for me : Can't received MMS with Free Mobile

[Emilien Lescoute (emilien.lescoute)]

I have the same problem with Sosh. I can send but not receive MMS.

[Olivier (ochaude)]

Same problem for me with SFR. Can send but not receive MMS.

Same problem for me : Can't received MMS
attached network-test-session while waiting for an MMS

I've noticed that I cannot activate my custom MMS APN via user interface, it ignores my setting "custom" and goes back to the default - "Same APN as for Internet" and
/usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-contexts says: "Active = 0"
Is there a way to activate it manually?

   [ /ril_0/context4 ]
        Protocol = ip
        IPv6.Settings = { }
        Name = ___ubuntu_custom_apn_mms
        Type = mms
        Active = 0
        AccessPointName = mms

[Paumier edouard (e-contact-w)]

It seems like I cannot receive & send mms with/without wifi. My provider is Free (french provider). When trying to configure the APN Settings, I am unable to activate custom settings. It's always going back to default ones.

Hi Gents
It doesn't wok for me neither on Bq Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu Touch.
OS versio 21.

bug #1439101 seems similar with 27 affected users

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issues with wifi on seems similar to bug #1454625 which has a fix pending landing

I have noted a nuntium crash in logs from comment #8. Reported as separate bug #1461107.

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

The fact that Free mobile does not use a proxy is probably causing trouble when setting routes.

(see https://mobile.free.fr/assistance/46.html)

[Tony Espy (awe)]

It would be helpful to include the output of /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems and list-contexts. It also would be nice to include the system-image-info for the latest device/image this has been reproduced on. Has this issue been reproduced with the latest OTA4 candidate?

Checking the apns-conf.xml, it appears that Free defines separate Internet and MMS APNs, and that the MMS APN has no MMS proxy. Here's the APN definition for 'Free MMS':

<apn carrier="Free MMS"
    mcc="208
    mnc="15"
    apn="free"
    mmsc="http://mms.free.fr"
    type="mms"
/>

Note, I'm able to do a nslookup on mms.free.fr and ping it from my laptop when connected to WiFi.

Also, as this is a standalone MMS, if there were a proxy configured, it's configuration would be handled solely by ofono, which doesn't support hostnames, only dotted IP addresses.

Finally, we should confirm that mobile-data for the selected SIM is indeed enabled. Let's hope this isn't another occurrence of the selected mobile-data SIM switching on it's own ( due to SIM insertion for instance ).

This is on latest krillin/vivid aka OTA 4

current build number: 24
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en
last update: 2015-06-03 23:14:51
version version: 24
version ubuntu: 20150603
version device: 20150529-8e13c5f
version custom: 20150528-722-29-15-vivid

Tested with sending SMS to a group of recipients, it fails with wifi on and succeeds with wifi off.

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato (alfonsosanchezbeato)]

The problem as originally described (cannot send with WiFi on for Free operator) is a problem with the route that is set-up by ofono. As there is no MMS proxy, a route for the MMSC needs to be used instead. Also, we need to resolve the MMSC host name to an IP address. The fix for this is in
