Bug Description

STEPS:
1. Open settings app
2. Select Security and Privacy
3. Select Lock security
4. Type in a 4 digit pin
5. Set it
6. Tap the power button so the device screen blanks
7. Tap the power button again so the device is at the welcome screen
8. Drag down the network-indicator and set flight mode
9. Wait a second and disable flight mode
10. now log into the device with the passcode you set

EXPECTED:
I expect both wifi and cellular to be back up

ACTUAL:
Wifi is back up but cellular says offline or no sim, Offline can be fixed by restarting, No sim needs a full bootstrap install.

I can't reproduce this on latest. When I disable flight mode the wifi and 3g connect pretty much immediately.

You've actually hit two different bugs here.

I've marked this as a duplicate of the toggling flight-mode leaves the modem in a bad state.

After doing this a bunch of times, you then hit bug #1321627 which is where the saved-states file ends up with WWAN soft=true, which means urfkill won't try to power on the modem. There are instructions in that bug on how to resolve ( stop urfkill, edit the file ), reboot.

If this doesn't bring up the modem, feel free to re-open this.

I'm also adding a network-indicator task, as it shouldn't be showing "No SIM" when the modem is offline, it should show "offline".

Hmm, as this is a duplicate, we'll need to open a new bug for the indicator.

Several observations:

 * I can reproduce the exact scenario (test steps 1. - 10) with image 183. With image 185, it is not possible anymore to swipe down the indicators from the welcome screen or the security code entry screen.

 * But this is not really related to the security code or the indicator - the "cellular is offline" scenario is indeed the same as in bug 1339794, I confirm this as a duplicate.

 * The "No SIM" scenario, which Dave expanded on via email, is a separate issue that happens whenever you boot with the cellular radio disabled (intentionally via flight mode switch, or unintentionally as in bug 1339794). I reported a new bug 1355657 for oFono.
