Ok, I’ve had the fMMS application on my phone for a little while and just recently worked out how to get it configured for my phone so thought I’d share it with you all.
Note: This application is in the extras-devel application catalogue so as always be careful installing anything from there…you don’t want to mess up your phone.
(sorry for the varying quality…still getting used to my camera and video editor)
I hope this has helped and I just wanted to add a couple of things:
Although I said in the video you can’t add another APN, I just found out you can using fAPN from the extras-testing catalogue.Always enter numbers in international format, i.e. +447700000000 (Some times when people have selected contacts from phonebook, fMMS does not select the correct one so type the number manually until it is fixed)When you receive an MMS and fMMS is not open, you will need to just tap on the “new message” popup then load fMMS to open it.You have to manually switch to GSM and make sure it is not on WiFi when you are trying to send/open a message otherwise it will just never be able to send/receive and the application will freeze.Currently only images are supported.

hi i have followed the steps
but when i click the top configuration doesn’t show up
have i gone wrong somewhere?
legend!! thank u soo soo much helped alot now i just need to figure out how to send mms now that i can recieve!! thanks again
hi,i have installes fmms on my nokia n900,but then i started having problems with internet connection.my privider is Tmobile and i have unlimited data service with em. so my phone starts switching once in awhile from Tmobile to MMS.how to stop that?i have uninstalled FMMS and have changed settings not look for another network.
hi there i have an N900 and im trying to get my mms done prop. I’v resvied the picture messeage but wen i try and downlode it, it keeps saying “Internet connection failed. try again?”. I’m useing the vodafone mms. what im i doing wrong?? x
it doesn’t work at all….
after i tab install it says installingerror, and tap in details it says:
Application packages missing:
python-hildon(>=0.9.0-1maemo18)
python-evolution
sharing-fmms(>=1.0.2)
statusmenu-fmms(>=1.1)
so what can i do now to make it work?
make sure these and only these application catalogues are enabled:
“Nokia Applications”
“Nokia System Software Updates”
“Ovi”
“maemo.org”
if any of these are disabled or failed to refresh, it may not be able to install properly.
p.s. direct any other queries to the link at the top of the post.
What about At&t Usa? I cant find anything…..help?
there is only soo much i can do, I put a huge red notice at the top of the page, and also clearly state where you can find non-uk settings, in the sections that are not crossed out above.
I’m honestly fed up of having to hand feed everything because people just skim over, and not actually read the post! please use some of your own intuition and I’m sure you will find what you are looking for.

You understand therefore considerably in terms of this topic, made me in my view imagine it from a lot of varied angles. Its like men and women are not fascinated except it’s something to accomplish with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. All the time take care of it up!
