@peat_psuwit Makes sense. I'm sure if daily is gone from installer and things are laid out in order from Stable to RC to Daily, that's clear enough.
Amazing news about MMS on Noble! Sincere thanks to those who sorted it out!

@rund_europa Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 2, seems to fix the Dekko2 issues. I downloaded it today.

It's now possible to send and receive MMS again as the underlying components for MMS have been fixed. Additionally, there's now a dialog telling users to disable Wi-Fi and enable mobile data before sending MMS.

Hello,

MMS sending and receiving is working great on Volla Quintus but I often get the pop-up reminding me to disable the Wi-Fi even if it is already disabled. Switching the Wi-Fi and cellular toggles on and off usually unblocks MMS sending.

So there might be an issue with the library reporting the connectivity status, i've tested several context, and works fine here on Focal with a messaging-app test app.
Maybe it takes some time before reporting correctly? Do you noticed issue with the indicator, e.g it shows the wifi off whereas the wifi is On or On while Off, same for cellular data?

I did not notice any visible issue or inconsistency with the indicator state. The issue happens after a restart or shutdown.

I was able to reproduce the issue with the following steps:

disable Wi-Fi
enable cellular data (2 to 5G)
try to send a MMS
=> it works
restart the phone
try to send a MMS
=> I get the information message inviting me to disable Wi-Fi and turn on cellular data
disable cellular data
enable cellular data
try to send a MMS
=> it works

Did you noticed, instead of trying to send a MMS after reboot if no issue with internet ( e.g access any website with the browser ) ?

@lduboeuf

I had a quick look this evening and confirm that there is no issue with internet (tested with Morph).

ok, thx for the report, one last test you could try.
Just wait some time ( e.g a minute ) before sending MMS after reboot.
I've just tested on Focal without issue and asked the QA group about that issue.

@peat_psuwit i testet this on jingpad. Same with dark mode and light mode. For example on https://volla.online/en/volla-phone/

Thanks @lduboeuf .

After 10 minutes, the warning still appears. Once the cellular data toggle is switched off and on, MMS sending works again.

@peat_psuwit do you know if on 24.04, Lomiri.Connectivity have issue? I'm waiting for confirmation if this is the same for other devices.

Anyone tried if Bluetooth media buttons work now? Those for changing the volume, changing the music track and accepting calls.

I followed the above procedure to update my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (surya) to UT 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.

This worked well except a UI issue: I had to uninstall two applications because instead of seeing the screen offering the system upgrade, I saw a screen proposing the update of Dev Tools and Pure Maps Slim

After some tests everything seems to work properly with the notable exception of MMS.
Indeed, I can no longer send or receive MMS when wifi is activated, which seems to me to be a regression, at least on this device.

interesting, this is the first time i've heard that MMS works through Wiifi...
So with all feedbacks here, i think we have to revert the mms popup feature for now...

@Eric-H This regression is expected according to the release comment, is the popup displayed in your case ? I got a warning message inviting me to turn off the Wi-Fi in my case.

@lduboeuf
yes it worked on focal wih wifi on.
unsure, but it could be related to MessageProxy / Proxy set or unset.

        Name = SFR
        Active = 1
        Preferred = 1
        Type = internet

        Username = 
        Password = 
        AuthenticationMethod = any
        MessageProxy = 10.151.0.1:8080
        MessageCenter = http://mms1
        Settings = { Interface=rmnet_data3 Proxy=10.151.0.1:8080 Method=static Address=100.104.134.41 Netmask=255.255.255.252 Gateway=100.104.134.42 DomainNameServers=172.20.2.39,172.20.2.10, }

Ok, we just have to disable wifi when sending MMS, not a problem.

As we do not anticipate when MMS will arrive, will we have to disable wifi all the time to be able to receive them ?

Don't worry, we will remove that popup for now.
You are just the first person that i know that reports that MMS is working when wifi is On, so i was sure that for everyone Wifi Off + Data On was required, and several users were confused about not being able to receive/send MMS while wifi is On.

The situation with MMS and Wi-Fi is that sending MMS with Wi-Fi on will work, if the carrier specify MessageProxy in terms of IP addresses, which is the case for @Eric-H and also for the carrier I'm using (the carrier may also specify it in terms of domain name, or may not specify it at all and use MessageCenter alone). In that case, oFono is able to set the routing table so that MMS traffic goes through cellular network, which allow it to work despite Wi-Fi being on.

For all nitty-gritty details, see https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/ofono-sailfish/-/issues/13

(That said, the problem with Lomiri.Connectivity reporting inaccurate info will have to be investigated as well...)

My understanding is that Ubuntu Touch now have a facility to retry retrieving MMS if downloading fails. So, in that case, you should get a notification, after which you can disable Wi-Fi and retry retrieving MMS (@lduboeuf please correct me on this if I'm wrong).

You should not have to uninstall applications; once all applications are updated, you should be offered release upgrade. This is intentional, as many times application and system updates can solve compatibility issues with the new release before the new release is being upgraded to.

Got it.
I forgot to mention it, but first I tried to update these applications.
But, I don't know why, it failed, and the only solution I then found was to uninstall them.
