[Bug 1379412] Re: SIM selection for mobile data is non-deterministic

2024-03-17 Thread Joshua Carter
Addressing the challenge of non-deterministic SIM selection for mobile
data in your Ubuntu-based system, especially when managing calls and SMS
with ofono for your home automation and alarm system, necessitates a
multifaceted approach. Firstly, ensuring that your ofono installation
and the WIKO Riff 3 Plus phones' firmware are up to date is crucial, as
updates may enhance SIM management capabilities. Since ofono's primary
focus is on voice and SMS services, with less emphasis on data
connectivity, you might need to delve into its configuration or leverage
its DBus API for explicit SIM selection. This could involve custom
scripting to enforce a specific SIM for data connectivity, tailored to
your requirements. Alternatively, exploring other software solutions
more attuned to dual-SIM management might be necessary, although it
could mean significant adjustments to your current setup. Moreover,
engaging with online communities or forums related to ofono, Ubuntu, or
your specific hardware might unearth valuable insights or solutions from
individuals who have encountered and resolved similar issues. This
composite strategy aims to bring predictability to your SIM selection
process,for example to choose a prefix number to get good data service

alarm system's communication capabilities.

2015-08-04 Thread Matthew Paul Thomas
Specification updated.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=diffrev2=289rev1=288
Following Alfonso's and Tony's feedback, the rule no longer includes
signal strength, roaming, or recalculating. It still does include
locked/unlocked and 4G/3G/worse.

** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
   Status: In Progress = Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  Our current implementation of SIM selection for mobile data is currently
  ( as of RTM #94 ) non-deterministic.
  
  If two SIMs are installed in the phone at first boot ofono will self-
  power the ConnectionManager interfaces for both modems which results in
  the 'Powered' property of both being set to 'true'.   Only one of the
  two will attach to the network however, and if both SIMs are unlocked,
  this is usually the second slot.
  
  Note, if the second SIM is locked, then the first SIM is used for mobile
  data.
  
  The cellular system settings uses the 'Powered' property to choose which
  SIM is selected, so the current behavior is clearly broken.
  
- It was suggested that we should change ofono to not self-power it's
- ConnectionManager interface, and instead add a wizard page that allows
- the user to choose which SIM to use for mobile data.
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#cellular-mobile: On a dual-SIM
+ phone, “Cellular data:” should instead be radio options for “Off” and
+ each SIM. After first setup and SIM unlock prompt (if any), this setting
+ should be set by default to the only unlocked SIM if there is only one,
+ otherwise the only 4G SIM if there is only one, otherwise the only 3G
+ SIM if there is only one, otherwise the first SIM.

[Bug 1379412] Re: SIM selection for mobile data is non-deterministic

2015-03-31 Thread Tony Espy
@Pat

The suggestion from Alfonso was to fix this via a new page in the first
boot wizard which would ask the user which SIM they'd prefer to use for
mobile data.  This would only be displayed if the phone detected more
then one inserted SIM.

The general consensus from design was that this was less than ideal and
that we should figure out how to do this automatically.

Alfonso and I discussed this today, and it's my belief that we could do
this by checking to see which SIM was inserted in the 3g capable slot
and only setting the ConnectionManager's 'Powered' attribute to True for
this modem.   This would require us extending the GPRS interface to
allow the ofono core to query the 3g capability of the modem slot, which
is a very MTK-specific capability.   If we implemented this, we'd need
to figure out how to make this more generic.

Note, bug #1413672 is related, and has a fix currently in-review.

Finally, the fix for this bug cannot be deployed as an OTA update, it
would require a factory image update, as this bug only occurs during
first boot *if* the user had installed two SIMs before-hand.   It also
potentially could occur if the user resets the phone, but this scenario
hasn't been verified.

[Bug 1379412] Re: SIM selection for mobile data is non-deterministic

2015-01-21 Thread Matthew Paul Thomas
Letting you use a phone without unlocking the SIM(s) is deliberate, on
the grounds that it is still as useful as an iPod Touch. If people
expect locking the SIM(s) to lock the phone as a whole, that would be a
security problem, but as far as I know we don't have any evidence of
that.

Alfonso torpedoes my re-run proposal by pointing out that if you have
chosen a data SIM manually, you don't want that choice to change without
permission. When I designed (2) Auto switch to avoid roaming, I did
not assume that people ever buy a phone somewhere that results in the
phone roaming, but rather that a common use case for dual SIM will be
when you travel frequently between two countries, with one SIM native to
each. If *that* isn't common, I could remove it from the design.
Meanwhile, though, it implies that the data SIM selection won't
automatically change otherwise; if it did that would be surprising.

Nevertheless, If adding a step to the first-run setup isn't acceptable
(I agree it isn't), and defaulting to no data isn't acceptable, then we
still need some method of choosing the data SIM automatically in the
first place. We still (1) shouldn't choose one that is locked, and (4)
shouldn't choose one on 2G if the other is on 3G.

As we don't prompt for SIM PINs during the wizard, one or both SIMs
could be locked. This could leave us with no SIM selected, unless we run
the algorithm everytime a SIM is unlocked as you suggest.

If one or both SIMs are locked, on first run you get the setup, then the
greeter, then the SIM unlock prompt(s), then the tutorial.
http://goo.gl/6Y7Hxb If both are locked, the algorithm doesn't need to
run after each unlock prompt, just after they have both finished.

[Bug 1379412] Re: SIM selection for mobile data is non-deterministic

2015-01-16 Thread Tony Espy
While your point about using need and should in a bug report is
valid for most instances, this bug was originally created based upon a
consensus in one of our network/telephony meetings as the only viable
way to solve the underlying non-deterministic selection problem.
Perhaps it should've have been created as wishlist bug to better align
with the bug summary.

The bug was closed because Alfonso and I made an incorrect assumption in
comment #10 that the first SIM would be selected.  I'm not quite sure
how we came to that conclusion as it doesn't match the original bug
description, but clearly there wasn't enough testing to back this up...

As for your straw-man proposal, I think while some of your logic makes
sense, the overall proposal is too complicated, especially given the
time period we have in which to address the bug before the final image
is released for krillin.

Some additional points:

1. As we don't prompt for SIM PINs during the wizard, one or both SIMs
could be locked.   This could leave us with no SIM selected, unless we
run the algorithm everytime a SIM is unlocked as you suggest.

2. I honestly don't think roaming should be involved.  It's pretty rare
for someone to buy a phone somewhere that results in the phone roaming
and if they do, the possibility that they have one SIM that roams and
one that doesn't is also pretty low.  I see this as an edge case ( which
certainly could be useful to advanced users ), and thus fine for
requiring manual settings changes.

3. The device in question doesn't support 4G.   This is essentially the
same as you're fourth point though, choose the one with the best
possible network capability.  This is essentially what Olga proposed
when she said can't we always just pick SIM1?

4. Choosing based on signal quality isn't a good idea in my mind, as you
still may get better data throughput with a 3G connection with a lower
signal quality than with a 2G connection with a higher signal quality.
Also, if I buy a 3g capable phone, I want to use 3g.  I would be
disappointed if it selected 2g as a default for any reason other than
lack of a SIM in the 3g slot.

5. I also disagree with re-running the algorithm blindly in all the
conditions you list.

 - power on/reboot: when the phone boots, I expect the settings to
stay static, not magically change.

 - lock/unlock SIM: I think the case where a user ignores auto-
prompting for a SIM PIN will be rare ( unless it's not the owner ), so I
don't really see much value in covering this case.

 - auto-switch when roaming: this is a great idea, please file a
wishlist bug for system-settings, and add an ofono task.

 - changing data technology for a SIM: indeed this is a valid case, but
as you're on the settings page when this change is made, I would argue
that the user can just change it then and there.  On krillin/Android, if
the user changes which SIM is capable of 3g, they're auto-prompted to
see if they'd like to use this SIM for data.   We should consider such
an enhancement for a future update.

 - turn on mobile data - again the user does this from the cellular
settings page.  If they want to change which SIM is used for mobile
data, they can do so on this page.

 - exit flight-mode - I would argue that you'd only want to possibly
switch if the user ends up in a different country and the second SIM has
a matching country code to the new country ( ie. one of the two SIMs
isn't roaming ).  As you point out, this might be best handled as an
interactive decision, and maybe we ask about switching 3g capability at
the same time?

Finally, as a user if I've decided I don't like the default setting
calculated by the phone's algorithm during the wizard run, I'm going to
manually override via the settings.  If the blindly re-runs it's
algorithm in all of these cases, it may revert my choice, which will
piss me off.

So... while there are many good ideas presented here, the bottom line is
that this bug is for deciding how the initial decision is made after
first boot.   I think it should be as simple as:

1. If a single SIM is installed, it's selected for mobile data.

2. If two SIMs are installed, the first SIM ( ie. the one with the best
network capability ) is chosen for mobile data.

[Bug 1379412] Re: SIM selection for mobile data is non-deterministic

2015-01-16 Thread Alfonso Sanchez-Beato
Although the proposal in comment #11 has merit, in the end what the user
wants is *predictability*, not that some rules that he does not know
about might be lucky and do what he wants. There are myriad of reasons
that might make those rules fail and do not do what the user wants.

What does someone expect when buying a new phone? IMHO:

* One SIM inserted - The user wants to have data activated

* Two SIMs inserted - The user wants to have data activated for one
SIM, but probably not for the other (the secondary SIM tends to be
used just for calls/SMS). The problem is that we do not have a clue on
which SIM does he want to use for data, as the reasons tend to be main
operator vs operator for doing some calls SIM or work vs personal
SIM. Besides, we know which is the main slot, but that is not obvious
at all looking at the phone, so the user might have inserted what he
considers the main SIM in any slot. In this case, I would say that the
right option is to let data off for both SIMs until we have a wizard
that lets him select the SIM for data on first boot. The user that has
inserted two SIMs on the phone is probably knowledgeable enough to go to
system settings and choose the SIM he wants for data.

To summarize my proposal:

One SIM - Data on for that SIM
Two SIMs - Data off for both

2015-01-16 Thread Tony Espy
Regarding comment #14, we discussed your proposal. and both Mathew and
myself both agreed that defaulting to non-selected also seems wrong.

As you point out, someone that's inserted two SIMs into the phone is
probably advanced enough to go to the settings and change the setting if
they don't like the initial choice.

One last comment... it'd be helpful if someone could check to see what
the behavior of Android is with respect to SIM selection for mobile
data.
