        For the use case "cellular data off", it is working nicely except when i'm with bad signal ( see issue above ) .
        This is already a huge step for MMS users, in its worst case scenario we will have the same state as it is today on Devel/RC/Stable ( just ask user to resend)

        I think it is not a showstopper for deploying to next OTA. It's working better than before and there are no regressions. Also it will motivate me more to fix the bad signal issues, when the changes land to stable. πŸ˜‰ I will definitely tackle the issues, but I had to change my HW and installed manjaro on it and now I have a little fight with crossbuilder and the lack of apt and dpkg[-architecture,-parsechangelog] commands on the system.

        Thank you all for support.

          I've discovered, that the patches are already in RC, so if you are on RC channel (and dev channel too), there is no need to apply the above mentioned ubports-qa commands. This also means that the patches will probably be in the next OTA. Just saying. I'm happy. Thank you all.

          I've been wrong. Read furher, why.

                @lduboeuf Or am I wrong? Is there a possibility that the patch is not in RC (and dev) and the applied ubports-qa changes persisted 2 RC upgrades and I drew a bad conclusion? Can anyone answer this conundrum, or do I have to do full reinstall to check?

                  I'm not 100% sure, but debian packages could be not totally overwritten. I already noticed that when working on Lomiri, where RC or devel updates didn't overwrites my modified files. It would overwrite it though if the same file was modified.

                    So I red the OTA-19 call for testing and after browsing though the github QA page I have come to the conclusion, that I've been definitely wrong about the patch landing in RC and maybe in OTA-19 update. 😞 I'm sorry for putting your (and my) hopes up. Maybe next time.

                    Does anyone know how to be in the next OTA update?

                                OK, the OTA-20 cycle starts around these days. Where to push, to land the MMS patch in OTA-20? Thanks.

                                  @jezek its more than one patch probably, @lduboeuf can propose the order - its a bit delicate to not make it wrong.

                                      Hey everyone, I am confused at the state of this? In my Pixel 3a XL MMS is working if wifi is off and if NOT a group MMS. So this is good, but I don't remember if that is due to @fredldotme incorporating the fixes only for the P3a or if it is in "mainstream" UT Dev / RC / Stable?

                                      I am wondering about the status of these patches first.

                                      Then I would like to start at least looking at the issue of needing wifi to be OFF for MMS to work. My thought would be try and determine how we could "force" MMS to always use the cellular data connection and "ignore" wifi. For me this seems like a better beginning point than currently where MMS will fail if wifi is enabled. Would I look into ofono or nuntium or other for this? If anyone had a link to the existing issue report for this it is a good start. Pointers? I can also add this to a new thread if it is best.

                                        From what i understand, nuntium call lomiri-download-manager ( https://github.com/ubports/nuntium/blob/b182b1a4ff41910dd3d1a4b064df2f56505be923/mms/download.go#L34 )

                                        But i don't get where we can force using cellular data instead of wifi

                                          Why do we need cellular data instead of using any kind of internet connection (other SIM or wifi) for fetching the content of the MMS? Is there a special reason why?
                                          In my case my main SIM-card does not have a mobile-data-volume, for this I have a second SIM-card in my E4.5. So I'm using only the second card for internet-connection or wifi at home. From this point of view it's not possible for me to receive a MMS.
                                          If I remember it right, on my old Nokia's the was no need of a mobile-data-volume or a datapass. If there was an incoming MMS the phone build up a internet-connection only for downloading the content of the MMS and then stopped the connection. There was no payment needed for this kind of connection (AFAIR).

                                            @kristatos This is because the Multimedia Messaging Service protocol is processed by the operator via cellular data.

                                            It is not possible to handle mms via WiFi currently on Ubuntu Touch without VoWiFi relay.

                                            Maybe this will be the case in the future...(?)

                                              But i don't get where we can force using cellular data instead of wifi

                                              Alfred suggested I file an issue at the general Ubuntu Touch github repo until we sort out where exactly changes may be needed. I found this one already listed here: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1753 so I think we can keep following the "need to turn wifi off for MMS to work bug there" but my ignorant thought was to somehow use iptables / routing rules somehow to force using the cellular data network interface? Not sure if possible at all.

                                              About group MMS messages not working, I see an old issue related to the OPO there, not sure if I should add to it or start a new issue? OPO uses legacy canonical ofono etc that may not overlap with current halium 9 ports?? Here is the OPO issue for it: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/383
