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?

I've only had to restart the process after stopping it to change settings.  You can always check status with

Code:
systemctl --user status mmsd-tng.service

as long as it says active you should be good.

Have any of the major distros picked this up and made MMS work in their regular distribution of their distro for the PinePhone?

Spent some time on trying to compile / run this on Mobain today and not quite sure if I have it all working correctly. Is there a way that we could get a updated step-by-step tutorial from Step 1 on achieving this?

Thanks in advance.

@kop316 have we switched to using master branch on your patched version of Chatty?

I'm getting a 404 going to your wip link. (https://source.puri.sm/kop316/chatty/-/t...mm-account)

I followed the instructions on the wiki. I seem to be receiving the message (I'm getting mms files in the ~/.mms directory), but for some reason the rebuilt chatty app doesn't seem to be getting them.

Looking through this thread, I see most folks are relying on a branch that seems to no longer exist. @kop316 am I correct in understanding that the branch was merged into main in the last commit? Building from that branch doesn't seem to include any differences from the stock chatty app, and I still can't get MMS messages to show up in chatty.

Aha, rebooting the phone seemed to get things to work, sort of. A bunch of test messages I'd sent finally came through. I still don't seem to get messages while the app is running though.
