Fractal/Matrix MMS workaround

[Noob Of All Trades]

Hi!

Those instructions are kind of outdated because MMS works today almost out of the box.
Just set correct APN to System Settings and to Chatty.

If you wan't to use that Matrix-mms thing you need to get rid of Chatty completely because otherwise you have two instance racing for the MMS and only other one can win

I deleted Chatty. No luck. I still can't login to Fractal. Just for clarity: the Fractal login is the same as the Matrix login, right? And the "identity Server" is Fractal's "service provider"?

Just to provide more data on my situation.

My phone will get clogged with messages that don’t show up on Chatty. Then it stops receiving SMS.

I run these commands in Terminal ( called Console on my phone):
$ mmcli -m any --messaging-list-sms

the phone responds with something like this:

Found 10 SMS messages:
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/0 (received)

But it will say that 10 times for 10 messages with the last digit counting up.

Then I run:

$ mmcli -m any --messaging-delete-sms=0

and repeat that, changing the last digit to match all the messages the phone listed. After that all my SMS that hadn’t come through before show up on Chatty-- even showing the correct time when the SMS was sent. I think I even raised my reception from 2G to 4G. I presume those stuck messages are the MMS. And that makes me think the phone is receiving them, but Chatty can’t process them. Obviously I could be wrong. I got the Terminal commands from this article ( https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_F...eceive_SMS)
