This thread's gone a bit quiet... figured I'd make sure it doesn't die out. Apologies as I can't seem to get hyperlinks working.
Just flashed Sailfish X free trial onto a brand new unlocked Xperia Xa2 with AT&T, everything works except MMS. I am IN LOVE with this OS, but I just can't sort this one issue out.
Tried the solutions proposed at https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99925&highlight=mms&page=3 and https://www.reddit.com/r/sailfishos/comments/86tlmx/apn_setting_for_att_in_us/, disabled wifi and did airplane mode on/off several times.
Default APN settings in MMS Access Point on phone startup:
Connection Name: AT&T MMS Access Point Name: NXTGENPHONE Protocol: IP Authentication: None Proxy Address: 172.26.39.1 Proxy Port: 80 MMS Message Center Address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Data Access Point default settings:
Connection Name: AT&T Internet APN: NXTGENPHONE Protocol: Dual Authentication: None
Adjusted the Protocol/Proxy Address/Name and APN (to phone, with proxy.mobile.att.net, per https://apn.gishan.net/en/apn/att), but nothing seems to work. Chaning the APN to "phone" and the proxy address managed to switch things from "waiting..." to "downloading...", but it still hung for ages and then led to an error message. Anyone out there with similar issues/maybe another solution?
When it hangs, I've restarted my phone and then restarted the MMS download. Sometimes that gets it to download instantly.
SValmont ( 2018-11-27 18:32:28 +0300 )I've never used MMS, but I do know that there are some settings for MMS that may or may not help you. Navigate to Settings/Apps/Messages/MMS
Spam Hunter ( 2018-11-27 18:53:59 +0300 )I do recommend that you get the MMS logger app from openrepos https://openrepos.net/content/slava/mms-logger
It has a way to submit the logs to Sailfish and they respond. I am also a AT&T user and it is hit or miss, fortunately most of my communication is on Signal so it is an issue that I can live with, which is why I did not spend too much time on this.
marxistvegan ( 2018-11-27 21:56:01 +0300 )Thanks for the suggestions - restarting doesn't change things, and I've been through the MMS settings to try different sizes and such. I guess that means it's up to Jolla support at this point with the logger; I was just hoping to find a way to do this myself.

Same here with SFR in France. I am unable to send MMS since I installed SailfishX. Worked fine on Jolla 1.
Change APN from "mmssfr" to "sl2sfr" (Settings > Mobile connection > MMS access point) and message size from "Very big" to "Big" (Settings > Applications > Messages)
Guillaume L. ( 2019-04-02 16:15:26 +0300 )Thank you. Should maybe posted in your answer, so that it's easy to find. And should probably be merged upstream to fix the issue for good.

I suggest you change the topic since this is an operator bug and nothing to do with SFOS or Xperia...
I am in Elisa 4G network and everything works OK.
juiceme ( 2017-11-16 08:19:04 +0300 )I am also in Elisa 4G network and everything dont work. 3G everything works OK.
Gouneesz ( 2017-12-27 12:14:44 +0300 )My settings are: Elisa FIMMS. (APN) mms. Protokolla IP. Todennustapa Ei. 213.161.41.57. Portti 80. http://mms.elisa.fi. Viestin suurin koko Keskikokoinen.
Gouneesz ( 2017-12-28 23:26:11 +0300 )Definitely provider specific. Swisscom works just fine, both sending and receiving MMS.
Venty ( 2018-03-07 17:01:22 +0300 )Sometimes the image size is not allowed by operator. Have you tried small or medium rather than original and large size image setting? (Since xperiax images are huge compared to those from c or 1 phones)
