Last weekend the telephone froze (after turning off hotspot). And I had to hard-reset it using the power button.
Then the strange behaviour began: On startup, only one sim card (without pin) was working. Also I was unable to unlock the pin protected card (there was no dialog asking for the password). Even wehen trying "Unlock" from the configuration didn't do any action. The icons to start applications didn't work, but it was possible to scroll through them, only starting an application was not possible. But from the slider on the left side it was possible to start an application. Rebooting didn't solve the issue. A workaround for the pin-locked SIM card was to disable the PIN and then enable it again. That unlocked the SIM card, so that I am able to use it now. Using df via ssh didn't show a full disk, maybe the file system was corrupted during hard reboot. This seems to be the case as not only the network indicator was broken but also the application which asks for the SIM PIN and the launcher. Probably we should have a look on how configuration files are written by applications and how corrupted configuration data is handled. Broken configurations should not leave the applications in an unusable state, I would prefer that instead a user notification is sent and the configuration is reset to the last known working state or to useful defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615474 Title: Network Indicator / Connectivity-API is not accessible Status in Canonical System Image: Triaged Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Sometime in the last few days my phone lost the ability to connect to wifi networks and the network indicator at the top has stopped working. Currently between "Bluetooth" and "Sound" I have a gear icon and the caption "indicator-network". When I select it, the rest of the screen is blank. There are no settings available and no way to connect to a wifi network. On the System Settings app, if I tap on the "Wi-Fi" icon, I can see "Previous networks". But below that the page is just white, there is no way to select a wifi network. Rebooting the phone doesn't seem to fix the problem. Given that this is an MX4 and therefore the USB port doesn't work, and there's no SD card slot, there's vanishingly few ways to get data in and out of this phone now. If there's a solution to the problem, it's going to have to involve something other than updating system software. Current system software is Ubuntu 15.05 (OTA-12). --------------------- Per the comments the .config/connectivity-service/config.ini file seems to hold bad or outdated info and needs to be manually deleted and then recreated by the service.
