... so I can stop messing about and actually blog something other than tests and moans 
Blogging from my phone
If the option to remove network crud is switched ON:
If the option to remove network crud is switched OFF:
Verdict: keep the junk filter OFF and use email.
Uploading photos from my phone
If the option to remove network crud is switched ON:
If the option to remove network crud is switched OFF:
In addition:
Verdict: keep the junk filter OFF and use MMS.
All of the above is using an SE p910i.
Right, now onto something a lot less boring!
Edit: You know, I could throw bricks. While I was writing this entry two (later: make that four, and counting...) of my failed MMS entries have turned up (now deleted - they weren't worth keeping. Will have to check the photo album to see if anything missing has now turned up after two days (later: nope; later still: yup, two and counting...). Argh!
Blogging from my phone
If the option to remove network crud is switched ON:
- MMS entries don't get through at all.
- E-mail entries don't get through at all.
If the option to remove network crud is switched OFF:
- MMS entries containing plain text occasionally get through (but with a load of junk from O2 tacked onto the front of them). Those with pictures don't get through at all.
- E-mail entries (including those with picture attachments) seem to get through properly (will test again later with a proper post.
Verdict: keep the junk filter OFF and use email.
Uploading photos from my phone
If the option to remove network crud is switched ON:
- MMS entries don't get through at all.
- E-mail entries very occasionally get through - the only successful one I had was with a low-res photo, FWIW.
If the option to remove network crud is switched OFF:
- MMS entries seem to get through (but with a load of junk from O2 tacked onto the front of the description).
- E-mail entries don't seem to get through.
In addition:
- Uploading from Opera Mini (along with photoblogging) doesn't work - there's no way of selecting a file to upload.
- Uploading from the Sony Ericsson browser (Internet) doesn't work, you just get a page telling you to use MMS, no upload form.
- Uploading from Opera Mobile won't work for albums which have MMS enabled, you don't get an upload form. If MMS isn't enabled for the album, you can finally get to an upload form and it works (but for some reason it eats vast quantities of data in the process). Unfortunately I can't find a way of moving a photo from one album to another after upload, so keeping one album MMS enabled and another not enabled means your photos are forever and a day locked into which ever album they first landed in.
Verdict: keep the junk filter OFF and use MMS.
All of the above is using an SE p910i.
