The latest ota upgrade left the phone on the Samsung banner screen. I re-installed from zero to recover it (recovery mode worked, so other strategies might have worked)

"Could not fetch the MMS message. Maybe the MMS settings are incorrect or cellular data is off?"

I am having this problem on my recently install Ubuntu Touch, on my fairphone 4. Is there a fix for this yet?

If you get one make sure screenburn is limited, the screen doesn't go black randomly (internal issue that requires disassembly to fully repair) and the battery is good - UT is a battery drainer on a lot of devices and a badly used battery will make it worse.

camera also just works on waydroid

Side question: I also tried it with @aribk a while ago without much success, our port was based an Halium7/LineageOS 14 and I spent hours trying to find an issue in the image format: the camera was able to do A/B/C vs the format expected by the camera app being X/Y/Z. Did you encountered such thing? I still wonder what was the solution

for those who wish to attempt waydroid, here are some instructions and system.img vendor.img for h11

note that memory might be a bit tight until the next OTA which enables zram

Hi, I am a Galaxy S7 exynos owner and I have been working on a halium 11 based port for both the exynos S7 and S7 Edge.

For mms, please add logs here if possible

(ofono, halium rild, or any logs you think related)

SIM card pin unlock works consistently.

MMS works, but not consistently. Occasionally, I have received this message:
"Could not fetch the MMS message. Maybe the MMS settings are incorrect or cellular data is off?"
It is possible that cellular data was in fact off in one case, but even though it is now on and I have also rebooted the phone since, the 'download' button in the same message is inactive. It is also worth noting that I have successfully received several MMS messages from the same phone number since this. (Not sure if any of these might possibly be the original ones that triggered the error message?)

Another thing I have noticed is that if I leave the phone on overnight, something happens to the cellular connection. In this situation I have tried twice to call the same person. It looks as though the call is going through at first, but then it is suddenly cut off. At this point I have not heard any tone signaling that the phone is ringing at the other end. Also, the other party has confirmed that their phone rang, so something still worked. When they called back, though, the call did not go through on this device, but only on the other one (with the twin SIM) which runs Android.

After rebooting the phone, things were back to normal.

I will continue trying it out and post anything more info or other issues I come across.

All in all a very impressive port! Good work!

Anbox Patches: Anbox started crashing with a recent mir change, otherwise does not spawn windows after app launch

You should not bother with anbox as it is deprecated now there is waydroid out there.
On the other hand, waydroid may need some patch or whatever to work so you could focus on this maybe.

Anyway thanks for your work ^^
