I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that when this feature was implemented in the system settings, it was implemented as a 3-way choice for mobile data:
- Off - 2G Only - 2G/3G/4G (faster) While this is nice, the technology selection ofono/rilmodem code hasn't been implemented, so I'm nos sure what the setting page does when the setting is changed back to 2G or 2G/3G/4G. It would have been preferable if this was implemented first as a simple On/Off toggle ( which was previously implemented in the indicator and known to work ). The previous implementation just toggled NM's WwanEnabled property. Here's the dbus send commands to toggle it off, and then back on again: Off: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:"org.fr eedesktop.NetworkManager" string:"WwanEnabled" variant:boolean:false On: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:"org.fr eedesktop.NetworkManager" string:"WwanEnabled" variant:boolean:true Note, I think this is really -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220450 Title: Cellular allows data to be turned off but not back on Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In build from 0903 on mako, using the panel to turn off cellular data works and the action is clearly shown in the log an nmcli nm status.
