Troubleshooting and Understanding MMS
#41
I've been following this post for some time now and am having the same problems.  Thank you all for hashing this out so far.  I can add a little more info I think.

If I have mmsc=http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and apn=vzwapp (in both chatty and gnome settings), I get http 404 errors.

I have been on the Matrix chat with kop316 (the author of mmsd-tng) trying to fix this also but he's at a loss too.  He did tell me that these are not necessarily HTTP error codes but libsoup error codes.

Also, oddly enough, I see some files in .mms/modenmanager that look suspiciously like MMS data (but not entirely human readable). This makes me wonder if I am receiving the MMS, but maybe chatty is not correctly adding them to the database. Or maybe, those files are a list of MMS that are suppose to be retrieved, but are failing to be retrieved. I have no idea, but curiosity is overwhelming me at the moment.

I see the same types of files but I think these are test mms files that I try to send.  I'm not positive because there are two files that are named similarly, one with what seems like a hash file name and the other with the same hash file name but also with a '.status' extension.  The .status file shows that the message is unread and also lists the expiration.  I think these are mms that I'm sending because I don't get a new file when someone tries to send me an mms; only when I send a test message to myself but this could be wrong.

This is interesting to me.  I have seen messages received in Chatty that do not respect my current timezone so they are timestamped in the past by my GMT offset.  I know that the time on my phone is right but the modem time may be wrong.  I know that in ssl traffic your time skew can only be 5 minutes or messages will be discarded.  That said, it seems like the message protocol is unencrypted (http) so this shouldn't matter but I don't know.  It's definitely something else that I never considered until now.
