We know this didnt work and shouldnt, because apn and proxy should be diffrent.

@trwidick
It seems that proxy+port storage differs for non halium 9 devices.

Here is my test on N5:
Proxy: http://mms.free.fr
ProxyPort: 8080
nuntium logs:

Starting upload of /home/phablet/.cache/nuntium/store/36d098e8abb266d324c98b5a0b61a3c3.m-send.req to http://mms.free.fr with proxy 212.27.40.225:8080

whereas your test end up with:

Starting upload of /home/phablet/.cache/nuntium/store/2e6e5e00835c17c0eaf918cb0d5e4cb3.m-send.req to http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc with proxy http:80

We can see the url being split not properly
I see in the code where it can cause the issue, but as i am totally a noob in golang, it can takes time...

@lduboeuf I got it working in the strangest way.
I changed my internet apn to TMobile, the same that loads when i plug in my sim card. I still have 4g LTE with out mint sim apn.
My mms is the mint sim apn with port on the back. ![alt text]
Im going to say their is a bug somewere and mixing apns seams weird but it worked.
I have tried hundreds of apn combinations, spent at least 15 hrs this week and today it payed off.

@trwidick congrats!
yeah you're right. A bit strange to see the port after the MMSC full URL.

Thanks! A little strange, but, it works

@trwidick sorry bring this one back from the dead, but did this fix both picture MMS and multi person conversation MMS? I have Mint running on my Oneplus 6t, and your APN settings work wonderfully for picture and attachment MMS, but all group text messages send me error messages. Just curious if it is a Oneplus only issue.

Thanks for all the testing, man! It was super helpful!

@ljrichards1066 MMS group never worked well afaik on UT, not a device issue.
