Current behaviour with OTA-12 is that with o2.de+ the internet is not
working even when roaming is turned on. A workaround is to turn data
roaming off and then on again to let the mobile phone use it.
Another issue I have experienced in Luxembourg is that in the network pulldown,
where all cards are listed, the card was listed (I think provider was POST)
with internet ("H" was displayed), but the internet was not usable and the card
was not listed with "H" in the status line above.
The workaround mentioned above didn't help at all, even when used multiple
times. Even a reboot didn't let me get a usable internet connection.
Another provider (I think it was Tango) at another place worked well as
expected.
Not being able to use the services I have paid for is a serious issue for me,
thus I expect Canonical to fix this with the highest possible priority.
This bug is more than one year old with no real improvements.
How long do I still have to wait for an improvement?
Note: I do not expect a full implementation as mentioned in my earlier comments
immediately, but I want to be able to use the internet hassle-free with any
network - as I am paying for it - in a short term.
If Canonical still does not do its job to complete a working base
environment soon, I have to think about buying a new mobile phone with
another OS that does its job: :-(
The main choices would then be:
- Windows Phone: I don't like the user interface (maybe that could change, if
I get used to it?), but people report that it works and there seem to be even
more useful apps available than for Ubuntu Phone. Updates are available, but
market share is dropping and thus it will probably discontinued soon, either by
developers or by the manufacturer.
- Apple: Expensive, but good hardware, but no specials like Dual-SIM, very
restrictive about installing software (You can install only from Apple Store,
if you don't want to Jail-Break the device), high security (encrypted file
system). Updates are available.
- Android: Most developer friendly OS, biggest amount of Apps available, but
there is a big security issue due to missing updates, because even when a bug
has been fixed at google phones do not draw the fix directly from there,
instead most phone companies have to build and roll out an update release for
each device due to some garbage closed source drivers used there. This
additional effort leads to phones with serious securities issues not getting
fixed.
I know there would be even more choices, but most apps are available only for
these three choices.
It seems that I have the choice between getting security updates (Apple + MS)
or having a great choice of apps (Android).
And last not least leaving Ubuntu Phone would't be without any pain: I
like it that I can use rsync with backuppc via ssh to automatically
backup the data and photos on the device when it is available in the
local wlan network, without the need for an external cloud service or a
special backup-app installed.
