Cannot receive SMS/MMS
-
I recently bought a refurbished Pixel 3a G202G sargo and I cannot receive SMS messages (US on AT&T btw). I know it's definitely possible to receive texts because I received one once a few hours ago but I haven't been able to figure out why it stopped. Here's what I did so far.
- Downgrade to latest 9.0 kernel before installing through UBports installer.
- Editing ofono config based on this thread
I read that it could be a bug with 4G in the proprietary blobs. I'll test that out more in the morning. I would be willing to look into it if you tell me how to get a debug log and which part of the codebase handles that sort of stuff.

@galestrike I too am in the US on AT&T. I don't have any advice for you, but I'm very invested in a solution for this. There is a bounty thread if you do find a solution to this. Good luck!

@galestrike For receiving SMS, try changing from 4g to 3g. That works for a lot of people.

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6275/issues-with-cell-service-can-not-figure-out/2?_=1625675453323Known issue, you can not recive MMS when using wifi. Reset APN settings, reboot drive, input new settings, try reciving SMS/MMS on 4g.

@trwidick
Also I would move off stable and move to RC if you can, things have been fixed in RC. -
@trwidick Sorry, to be more specific, I'm on cricket, so I don't know if those settings will work for me. Cricket is on AT&T infrastructure though.
-
I might have just fixed the error. I enabled the options in the APN settings and I seem to be able to use 4G at first glance.
-
4G seems to work but no luck with MMS in. Could be some APN settings that I need to get right then.

MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.netThis will be for MMS you will also have one for internet. If this works past both internet and mms setting for every one to see.

@trwidick No luck. Still very wishy-washy with SMS in too. I think I just have to move back to Lineage until I get time to learn how to debug this correctly.

@galestrike This week i have to get a sim card for tmobile, next month i will try cricket wireless.
-
@trwidick I'll keep messing around with it every morning. I'll let you know if I get it working.

I am a cricketwireless user as well, I now have had voice,data,sms, and mms working for a 3 days now, using 3G only. I could not get sms to work with settings from cricket that you posted. So I wiped and reinstalled, and used the apn settings provivded at install and choisw. 3G. The setting Im using under install are as follows hope it helps somehow.

Well spoke to soon sms not working again and cant get it back, even reinstalled and wiped but, no dice. Still trying.

@captainzer0 SMS is now 100% reliable. See this update from @fredldotme :

MMS photos are reliable in / out with wifi OFF. Wifi ON and it is a problem, but broader than the P3a. MMS group messages can be sent but receiving they get "lost" (this is with wifi OFF again, with wifi ON, MMS group messages fail like MMS photos).

Pixel 3a XL here on development channel. Cricket wireless. After mixing and matching multiple apn solutions to get mms working, I figured I'd share my fix. Hopefully it'll save someone the heartache I just went through, haha.

192.168.196.78I believe changing the Cricket Internet to Endo helped with a conflict of both mms and internet being stock set to ndo? Not sure, but that was the last thing I tried before giving up, and it started working.
Hope that helps -

I think you are right: in other testing we had similar issues when there were 2 entries with the same APN (one for "Internet" and another for "MMS"). Eventually the best answer will be the ability to set "Internet and MMS" as the APN type, but that is not sticking or working right now.

Update. Everything worked. Everything. Now it appears to be denied access. Sigh.
