Beta support: MMS on chatty/mmsd on Modem Manager - help/testing wanted!

[ragreenburg]

Got mmsd-tng installed from sid and pulling MMS messages to Modem Manager with SMSWAP set to true.  Can confirm Mint Mobile (US T-Mobile MVNO) works. Oddly Mobian defaults Mint mobile sim to T-Mobile's mobilenet APN so had to change the apn for the modem to

Code:

Name: Internet/MMS2
APN: Wholesale

and ~/.mms/modemmanager/mms

Code:

[Modem Manager]
CarrierMMSC=http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MMS_APN=Wholesale
CarrierMMSProxy=NULL
DefaultModemNumber=NULL
AutoProcessOnConnection=true
AutoProcessSMSWAP=true

[Settings]
UseDeliveryReports=false
TotalMaxAttachmentSize=110000
MaxAttachments=25
AutoCreateSMIL=false

Running into redirect issues attempting to clone chatty from the /wip/sadiq/mm-account branch.  Going to attempt the python messenger method to verify completed delivery. But great news is 18 hours on and my modem hasn't clogged or crashed.  Thanks for the great work.

I'm on Mint Mobile as well. My ~/.mms/modem manager/mms file matches yours, but my apn settings are Name: Ultra, APN: Wholesale.

I'm able to receive MMS in the newly compiled chatty app (the MMS wip Branch), but only if the original Chatty is uninstalled. Any text sent through the branched Chatty is sent twice for some reason.

So I uninstalled Chatty and installed the MMS WIP branch but now I can't see chatty anywhere. I followed all the steps from the wiki installing Chatty but still am not seeing a chatty app. Is there something I'm missing?

You'll be able to run chatty from the build directory in the chatty directory, so assuming downloaded and built in home folder

Code:

sh ~/chatty/build/run

On debian I was unable to build a .deb using gpb as directed but was able to use Ninja to install.  So from the ~/chatty/build directory

Code:

ninja install

And reboot.  Then you should have your chatty launcher back and be able to receive notifications for SMS messages like normal (at this time I'm not getting notifications on MMS messages).

Make sure that if your settings in ~/.mms/modemmanager/mms have

Code:

AutoProcessSMSWAP=true

then change that to

Code:

AutoProcessSMSWAP=false

and with that you should have full MMS messages rolling into chatty.

Thank you for the help! So do I have to run 

Code:

systemctl --user restart mmsd-tng

Each time I start up the device (like with a cronjob) or does it automatically stay like that?
