** Description changed: - Build r91 - Steps to reproduce: + Build r91 + 1. set up a SIM PIN or make sure the inserted SIM has already a set up SIM PIN (reboot device if needed) 2. after reboot, don't unlock and navigate to System Settings > Security & Privacy > SIM PIN - 3. what you se is a green tick on the toggle next to the SIM PIN and beneath that a "Change PIN..." button - Expected result: Users need an option to unlock the SIM card from this - view. Tapping on the toggle brings up a dialog to enter the SIM PIN but - once this is done user switches off asking for the SIM PIN as well. - Therefor the unlock should function independently. + What you see: A green tick on the toggle next to the SIM PIN and beneath + that a "Change PIN..." button + + What you should see: Some way to unlock the SIM without turning off the + SIM PIN. + + There are three relevant states for a SIM: + (A) no SIM PIN set + (B) SIM PIN set, SIM locked + (C) SIM PIN set, SIM unlocked. + + If a SIM PIN is set, when you start up the phone you have the choice to + unlock it (switch from B to C) or not (stay on B). + + If you don't unlock it, you can't make or receive calls, send or receive + SMS, or use cellular data in any app. And you probably can't predict + ahead of time whether you'll want to do any of those things. + + Currently System Settings only lets you turn the SIM PIN on (A to C) or + off (C to A), not to unlock it.
