Bug Description

Hi!

I configured my APN for MMS filling all the fields and saving setting.
After that I can't remove the 2 first fields, because the Save button is enabled only when the 2 first are filled > BUG: Then I can't reset the APN for MMS by default.

Thanks in advance!

This affects the current spec [1] which has no way of removing just the MMS or just the Internet APN.

Missing "reset" functionality is tracked here, bug 1399248.

Sorry, I don't understand this bug report. Why do you want to clear the fields?

By example:
- To reconfigure for another mobile company.
- To remove my 3G configuration because I did it wrong.
- To reconfigure my current 3G configuration because it changed by the
mobile company

Best regards! :)

If you're using another carrier, either you have just changed the SIM, or you've just started/finished roaming, correct? In either case, Ubuntu should see the carrier change, try auto-detecting the APN, and leave the fields blank if it fails, so there's no need to blank the fields manually.

If you did it wrong, it shouldn't have activated in the first place, so the settings should not have been saved. The only ways to exit the dialog are to cancel (reverting to the previous settings, which are either functional or blank), or to activate successfully. So that by itself is not a reason to have a specific function for blanking the fields.

How often does that happen? I don't know, but I'm guessing hardly ever, because it would break a lot of people's connections all at once.

I'm making some assumptions here about the current implementation because I can't test it myself. So if any of the "should"/"shouldn't" things I said don't actually work the way I describe, please report those as individual bugs. :-)
