There are a shedload of APNs in that file, that's where it's coming from. Unsure as to how the default is selected, any clues? What happens if you delete all of the <apn carrier=xxx> values, and replace them with a string matching the o2 MMS settings in the same format as shown above ?

Guest zuccster Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 zuccster you're a star! I was thinking of snooping the MMS packet but I didn't know where to start. Did you use ADB or run it directly on phone? I think the ROM has a collection of APN's because I didn't have to enter my O2 APN settings when I installed the new ROM I ran it directly on the phone. Yeah, I had the same experience with the APNs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zuccster Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Right, might be talking out of my hat here, but is there a file called: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db on the phone? Taken from here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/29942-post51.html Useful? http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:hIq00...mp;client=opera Yeah, but it's a SQLLite database file, so I can't hack it by hand. I need to get adb set up and learn a bit more about how Android works, then I'll have a go at sorting this. Might take a few days depending on Real Life.

Guest le_lutin Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I ran it directly on the phone. Yeah, I had the same experience with the APNs So, can we grab the system/etc/apns-conf.xml and modify it? Does the existing file have settings for all networks, and if so, are the ones for 02 missing in it (and thus it falls back on T-Mobile). Great work so far zuccster, we can't be far away from getting this working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you using as your file explorer on the phone and are you able to get those files off the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Bingo: # grep -ri mobile ./ ... ./system/etc/apns-conf.xml: <apn carrier="T-Mobile UK" mcc="234" mnc="30" apn="general.t-mobile.uk" user="t-mobile" password="tm" server="*" mmsproxy="149.254.201.135" mmsport="8080" mmsc="http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002"/> ... There are a shedload of APNs in that file, that's where it's coming from. Unsure as to how the default is selected, any clues? Surely that is just a general apn look up file which selects the apn to use when boot-up sequence scans your SIM to see which carrier you are with? If you start up the phone with a T-Mobile SIM and look in your APN list everything is set for T-Mobile, the same happens if you start up with an O2 SIM or any other carrier SIM which has their MCC and MNC values listed in that file, the apn get set automatically. The problem is going to be buried somewhere deeper than that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is going to be buried somewhere deeper than that I think. But perhaps the mms settings for o2 aren't correctly listed in that file? Or not listed at all and that is why our mms is failing?

Guest zuccster Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Right, I've tried changed the default carrier in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db from what it was: 95|T-Mobile UK|23430|234|30|general.t-mobile.uk|t-mobile|*|tm|||149.254.201.135|8080|http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002||1 to the O2 uk postpay: 48|o2 UK Postpay|23410|234|10|wap.o2.co.uk|O2wap||||8080|193.113.200.195||http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk|| This changed the APN being used according to tcpdump, but no HTTP traffic.

I'll keep hacking away as time allows Edit: Actually the HTTP status is 200 OK, but the page suggests a 403 - odd. Are you trying to send an mms or receive one? I have a feeling that debugging might be more straightforward if you are trying to recieve an MMS (it's just a download link, so it should be very straightforward).

Guest zuccster Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm SSHing in to the phone and editing in place with sqlite3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zuccster Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Right. Success of sorts. This only works if you have rooted ROM with sshd access. I've managed to send / receive MMS in the following contrived setup: - In Settings ... -> APNs, setup a O2 postpay MMS APN as described here. BUT, ignore point 18. Leave the APN type empty. Once complete, go back into APNs and select the dot next to this APN Now comes the science bit, - SSH into phone via wifi interface: ssh -p2222 [email protected] - Edit the telelphony database, changing the default carrier from the entry for T-Mobile UK, to the new one we just added. # sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db SQLite version 3.5.9 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> update carriers set current=1 where _id=131; sqlite> update carriers set current=null where _id=95; .quit Ensure that 3G is enabled (didn't work for me when I had "Use only 2G networks" selected in Settings).

This doesn't survive a reboot. Chief, it doesn't matter how contrived it is, the fact is that you're the first person who's got it working - hats off to you! Why do you think it gets overwritten with a reboot? The database table must get rewritten after every reboot, but where from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest le_lutin Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I'm currently using estrongs file manager which (if you have root access) allows you to copy files from the internal memory to the sd card. So i've been able to modify the telephony db (on windows, using sqllite browser) and i've been able to change the default APN in the telephony db from the default (t-mobile) to which ever one I choose (in this case, the one using the settings described by zuccster). However, when I copy the modified file back to the internal memory, MMS still doesn't work. I haven't done any tcp log debugging (is there a simple app for this?). Also, the changes that I make to the telephony.db file do seem to stay after a reboot (though, as stated above, they don't fix the MMS). Zuccster, do you think that if you gave me your telephony.db file and I put it on the internal memory (in the correct location of course), that it would work straight away? I would like to see you telephony.db and compare it to mine if that's possible. Also, zuccster, if you add an apn through the standard android interface, does it immediately appear in the telephony.db file at the bottom? [EDIT] Just did a quick test. I added a dummy apn to the list of apns (I called it dummyAPN), saved this and then copied over the telephony.db file from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db to my sd card. When I opened the telephony.db file in sqlite browser the dummy apn was not listed in the database. This suggests to me that android did not successfully write the new apn to the database file. I wonder if this is because I modified the telephony.db file in sqlite browser earlier this morning. It mightn't be in the correct format now (can't see how though).

Guest meinnit Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 You can use tcpdump to snoop on the packets. zuccster will be able to provide the exact string to run to get the right packets on the right interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My telephony.db is here To inspect packets (iIf you're running a Modaco ROM with an SSHd), you can use an SSH client such as puTTY to log into the phone, then grab tcpdump-arm # wget http://www.eecs.umich.edu/%7Etimuralp/tcpdump-arm Edit: You'll need to make it executable # chmod +x tcpdump-arm and run: # ./tcpdump-arm -i rmnet0 -A -s 1500 Although I've not rebooted my phone, I've just noticed that the telephony.db has been reverted. Unsure what's going on. As I said, although I'm a Linux / Java guy, I'm new to Android so I need to read up a bit more on wtf is happening.

Thanks for that zuccster, Do you have the actual telephony.db file? I think what you link to there is a view of the data in the db as opposed to the actual db file. I think you might be able to attach files on this forum. If you give me the file I should in theory just be able to overwrite the one I have on the internal memory and replace it with yours and it should just work.

If you give me the file I should in theory just be able to overwrite the one I have on the internal memory and replace it with yours and it should just work. Zipped up and attached.telephony.db.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pulser Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545280 of any relevance to this. Sounds like they decompiled mms.apk to change the mms ua. Does that play a part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
