[unlock] should be prompted if SIM locked on dialler and messaging

[Victor Tuson Palau]

Olga says : My recommendation is that we should bring up the SIM PIN unlock screen if user tries to launch the DIALER and MESSAGING apps. This can be done additionally to the indicator access. This way a user will know instantly that there is no access to this apps without unlocking the SIM.

@Olga... can you update the wireframes and any flows to reflect this change. I think there's no new artwork required, it's a functional change.

[Olga Kemmet (olga-kemmet)]

I already did. Pat, Bill and Tiago have access to the corresponding specs.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

I am concerned that while this addresses outgoing calls, many other functions will not work, such as any incoming call or message, network access by scopes and browser (assuming no wifi)

Was there any thought to make the lock indication more prominent? I am surprised its not even red.

I believe that adding the prompt at boot time will solve the issue for the majority as it will become an explicit decision to stay locked.

@pat, nothing is stopping to have the "sim-locked" icons as red. Design just has to update the icons in the icon theme.

The boot prompt is tracked here:

and the related bug on the "connectivity service" to enable all these components to show the relevant unlock dialogs is there:

@antii @pat @bill

The state of the art indicator menu is monochrome by design... it's not meant as an alert/alarm bar (we raise the urgency using alerts), but rather meant as a quieter, more peaceful device dashboard. If the icon were always red, for example, it indicates an error or alarm condition which for many cases would not be really true, as users often WANT the sim to be locked, and constantly showing an error state will be more of an irritant.

This icon may not "scream" locked all on it's own, that's true, but there are multiple touchpoints telling the user their SIM is locked and inviting them to unlock if they try to use it. So, after one cycle through this experience from boot to attempting to use the dialer on a locked sim, the "locked sim" icon will make sense and be more than enough to remind users.

The overall unlock experience does not need to be communicated at all once ... the cumulative effect of all of the touchpoints will be more than enough to guide users on unlocking and educate them how to quickly check visually going foward.
