fMMS declined to download while roaming
I really REALLY tried to not post a duplicate question but I've not been having much luck finding this error within the forum. If there's a thread that already exists my apologies.
So... fMMS.... whatta beast.... I've spent a great deal of time trying different settings and getting my operator to confirm some details about what works and what doesn't as far as their network goes. Also spent a great deal of time reading about other troubles with fMMS and it doesn't appear I've been experiencing one of the common issues. Using fMMS 1.3.5 and I'm getting this error about roaming... 2016-10-14 14:52:28,501 fmms.connectors: not in home network, not downloading.. 2016-10-14 14:52:32,961 fmms.connectors: user declined to download while roaming So it appears I've declined downloads while roaming. Unfortunately I'm never in the home network area as I've moved out to the twigs for a job. Does anyone know where to allow downloads while roaming? Is this a fMMS thing or a Fremantle thing? Oh, maybe I should mention I can send MMS but not receive. I know that's not too helpful but now you know where I'm coming from. Again sorry if I'm a nuisance, I am a noob. I've been using this phone for about 4 days. I'm not a developer. I do work with linux professionally so I am comfortable with the OS but still.... this quirk has me stumped. Cheers, Mike p.s. phone settings show data roaming always allow so... meh... whats going on. |
Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
It's failing on line 47 in '/opt/fmms/connectors.py'
What it looks like is that it should be prompting you with the following dialog - "To retrieve the MMS your active connection you need to connect to the internet, proceed?" What you could try if you don't care about roaming, is just comment out lines 41-51 in '/opt/fmms/connectors.py' Code:
statusarr = phoneif.get_registration_status()[0] |
Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
Now that's something I hadn't considered. Let me try it....
Progress has been made! I'm able to download a simple mms that contains only text that says "test". Thank you very much. That seems to have resolve the declined to download error. Woohoo! Thanks again. |

I did some more investigation and the reason why it silently failed was because there was no translation for :
Code:
'To retrieve the MMS your active connection you need to connect to the internet, proceed?' Code:
'To retrieve the MMS your active connection will need to change. Switch connection?' Since it doesn't seem as though I can pm peterleinchen, here is the patch: Code:

Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
Wow! My roaming problem spawned a patch? Well that's cool! I thought simply commenting that chunk out was good enough....either way I'm about to get off topic now. I'm no longer affected by the roaming problem, but I can not download messages that include pictures. That is why I mentioned that I can send simple messages containing text only. Looks like some kind of database problem if you ask me... but I don't really know what I'm looking at. It spends about a minute downloading a 600k file over 2g then fails when trying to insert. However I've found other posts about this error. Just letting y'all know I'm diving head long into another problem here since my simple texts have succeeded. Now i'm going for bringing down an image. This should be fun.

Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
Haha! I just noticed that the images have been downloaded to /home/user/.fmms/mms/mavodi-1-89-86-4-7b-1-14b-5-7b-5aadf62. So I can copy the image I've received from my sister 1600mi away and actually view it. So the image comes across... just the fmms database isn't updated. Odd. But hey, works enough for me.
:) Cheers, Mike |
Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
If you're willing to be a guinea pig, I may have a simple fix for the images not showing.
Could you change line 291 in '/opt/fmms/controller.py' from: Code:
mmsid = self.store_mms_message(pushid, message) Code:
mmsid = self.store_mms_message(pushid, message, transactionId=trans_id) So it's looking in a non-existent dir and failing. Cheers, Ilew |
Re: fMMS declined to download while roaming
My inbox is emptied again ;)
I propose to wait a while and see what else comes out/pops up and then I might push a new version to extras-devel repository. |
