cellular data switch disabled until SIM selected in settings

[Dubstar_04]

Cellular data switch is disabled on nexus 4.

rc_proposed: r476
Ubuntu Image Part: 20160701

Mobile data cannot be activated on this device (possibly others) as the cellular data switch in settings and in the indicator are disabled.

On first boot it was disabled. I noticed cellular was set to 2G only, set it to 2/3G and the data toggle became enabled and stayed enabled even if I switched back to 2G only.

Is this not an intended behaviour?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

This is too confusing, and its related to not being able to define the default data sim automatically

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

With single sim systems this certainly shouldn't be necessary

Right after update from OTA-11 to OTA-12 cellular data switch is disabled in the system settings.

In the OTA-12 there is quick access to the cellular data switch in the indicators (#1373463), but also is disabled.

Doesn't help:
- reboot;
- on/off flight mode;
- switch 2G/3G/4G;
- operator search.

Device: Meizu MX4
- just one SIM slot

current build number: 14
device name: arale

Is there workaround to enable cellular data switch?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It may be disabled because it's crashing and hence not successfully enabled. Check bug 1607079 to see if that fix helps you. This might be a duplicate of bug 1607079.

Same here, also Meizu MX4 right after OTA-12 update and first reboot Cellular data and Data Roaming toggleswitches disabled, disconnecting from WiFi shows a empty wifi indicator.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

OK, I'm going to assume this is getting fixed with the fix for bug 1607079, until proven otherwise.

[alain (al1guillet)]

Sorry Daniel but I can switch the flight mode off and on as many times as I want without having access to the cellular data switch.

Moreover I insist on the fact the cellular data are active whereas the switch shows it is off so I don't think it is because the cellular data function is crashed.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

I am informed the fix for lp:1607079 should address this

[alain (al1guillet)]

Is the fix to reboot a few times or to switch the flight mode on and off? Sorry Pat but none of them works in my case.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

@alain do you have the very latest proposed update installed? if so perhaps not fixed

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-network - 0.8.0+16.10.20160817.2-0ubuntu1
