Bug Description

Every time after leaving the air-plane mode you are forced to enter the SIM-Pin.

While changing frequently between on-line and off-line this is annoying.

I don't consider that it's a bug, because in my case :
my 1st SIM is for personnal use and always activated
my 2nd SIM is for professionnal use and only activated when I'm at work.

At this moment, every worked day :
(each morning before going to work) I just have to enter PIN in Network Menu of my professionnal SIM to activate it.
(each afternoon after having worked) I switch to airplane mode then deactive it and I only set the PIN of my personnal SIM. It leaves my professionnal SIM offline.

By this way, I don't have to reboot my phone every working day. I find it easy to use. That's why it would be better if a choice («Remember PIN») is available for each SIM in System Settings (Phone or Security).

If it's really blocking for you, you can remove the PIN of your SIM in «Security and Privacy» in System Settings.

This is a feature of the BQ phone HW as it removes the modem SIM interfaces completely when entering flight mode.
The only option to work around this would be for ofono rild driver to cache the sim pins when it detects a BQ phone HW and flightmode being activated and automatically enter the PINs behind the scenes when the phone leaves flightmode.

Updated indicator-network task to Invalid and restored ofono status.

Changed in ofono (Ubuntu):
