Cant receive pictures through mms??

AlainW94 · 26 Mar 2019, 13:56

@tricky Hi, can you try to set ofono in debug mode to see if it correctly handle MMS apn please ? :

To enable the logs on ofono, please read this post :

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2539/visual-voice-mail-configuration

Have a look inside if you can see any error related to APN.

The first place I would look for this, is in the history-service database, to see if the "missing" messages are stored there, along with the encoded pictures and such.

AlainW94 · 26 Mar 2019, 14:49

@tricky this database is located here : ~/.local/share/history-service/history.sqlite, you can open it with DB Browser available on the ubuntu appstore.

i used my radio frequency meter to measure the data being sent and received by the phone. when a picture is sent from another contact to the ubuntu touch phone(nexus 5), the phone shows it is receiving the information, but doesnt seem to want to display it. as i mentioned above, the phone sends picture messages without a problem to other contacts, and also texting works amazingly. seems to be the display that might be the problem and not the carrier?? i have also tried all apn settings, with all the same results. but the phone is definatly receiving information when a picture is sent to the nexus.??? interesting.

@AlainW94 @dobey Thanks Guys for this hint I let you know if i find something interesting there

@sk8rdie Good info there indeed.
Thanks for sharing this

Hi Guys,
I followed your instructions and indeed debug mode gave some additional info.
When i try to send mms i get error below

Mar 28 19:41:46 ubuntu-phablet ofonod[1085]: ril_setup_data_call_cb: reply->status for apn: mms, is non-zero: ERROR_UNSPECIFIED

When i send mms to my OPO i get output below so the message is definitely sent to my phone but somehow it cannot be displayed. I found info about those 2 actions in history.sqlite.

@tricky said in Cant receive pictures through mms??:

Well your SMS is arrived, it is the stream above.
you said that you got it into your history db ? Right ?

If yes, in the DB there is a column for the attachment, can you check if it exist in the attachment folder please (./.local/share/history-service/attachments) ?

tricky · 28 Mar 2019, 20:33

@AlainW94 Unfortunately i did those 2 tests (send and receive mms) one after another and because of that the output log from ofono was not really clear.
I decided to perform second test. This time i just sent mms message to my OPO.
Unfortunately there is neither entry in history.sqlite nor attachment in history-service/attachments folder.

New object in attachments folder and new row in history.sqlite is created only when i try to send mms from my OPO to some other device.

AlainW94 · 28 Mar 2019, 21:28

@tricky Can you try to reach this link from morph browser : http://geo1:8002/cSvMacnsEHCA

if this works you will be prompted to download a file (your mms content).

tricky · 28 Mar 2019, 21:36

@AlainW94 When i try to open it i get ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error

AlainW94 · 28 Mar 2019, 21:37

@tricky Did you try with WiFi off ?, this is a server from your provider.

AlainW94 · 28 Mar 2019, 21:40

@AlainW94 I thought that you have 2 SIM card installed right ?

tricky · 28 Mar 2019, 21:47

@AlainW94 Yes, Wifi is disabled. I do have only one SIM installed. It's not possible to install 2 SIM Cards to One Plus One. It might be that indeed my mms APN is not properly configured due to missing additional parameters. Maybe i could try to add all parameters manually to config file. I've seen some old topic related to Ubuntu Touch where it was described where apn settings are stored

AlainW94 · 28 Mar 2019, 21:55

@tricky Yes this is a thing you can try, and you should see if the configuration is fine if you success to ping the geo1 server or you could reach it through morph browser.

tricky · 28 Mar 2019, 22:00

@AlainW94 That was this thread below:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/413438/no-mobile-data-on-nexus-4-ubuntu-touch

In /usr/share/ofono/scripts i found script create-mms-context so i will try to create mms APN first and then add all parameters with set-context-property script.

AlainW94 · 28 Mar 2019, 22:05

@tricky Very nice, please let us know if that works, and this can maybe be useful for other user that had your provider if you can share the info settings of your working APN

tricky · 29 Mar 2019, 18:59

I tried to edit mms settings with set-context-property script but either this script doesn't work properly or I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to change authentication method from chap to pap. According to my provider i should use pap method.

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/usr/share/ofono/scripts$ ./list-contexts 
[ /ril_0 ]
    [ /ril_0/context14 ]
        MessageCenter = http://mms.orange.pl
        Username = mms
        MessageProxy = 192.168.6.104:8080
        Name = MMS
        Type = mms
        AccessPointName = mms
        AuthenticationMethod = chap
        Active = 0
        IPv6.Settings = { }
        Password = mms
        Protocol = ip
        Settings = { }
        Preferred = 1

According to the documentation i should use it as it's shown below:
set-context-property [modem] [context_number] <name> <value>

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:/usr/share/ofono/scripts$ ./set-context-property /ril_0 14 AuthenticationMethod pap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./set-context-property", line 62, in <module>
    path = contexts[context_idx][0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Syntax seems to be correct because if i make typo in modem name or context number i get error message that context doesn't exist or modem name is wrong

AlainW94 · 29 Mar 2019, 22:42

@tricky I looked in the script file, the strange thing is that it seem that the context id passed through the command line is minored by one in the script :

context_idx = int(sys.argv[1]) - 1

Can you try the same command you type before but with a context number of 15 please?

tigerpro · 30 Mar 2019, 02:54

I was able to get mobile data working with those scripts as well as get MMS to send but never received a, I even went the extra step of removing all the other APNs prior due to the data one not being correctly set when I try to activate the mobile data. I haven't tried changing the AuthenticationMethod yet however next time I play with it I will try that. I know it isn't messing up on my device cause there are only 2 APNs, one for data and one for MMS
