[Bug 1388046] Re: Cannot edit APN when switching to Manually for slot 2
@mpt, right, I was confused when I reported the bug, and thought that the Manually/Automatically switches referred to the APN. So I'll try to clarify this. The APN is a set of configuration data needed to open a cellular data connection. This data is operator specific, but not network specific. That is, the data depends on who you pay at the end of the month, not on the network you are registered in at a given moment. Specifically, the APN does not change when you are roaming and you are not connected to your home network. Operators connect to each other so when you open a cellular data connection the APN data travels through the visited network to your operator so it validates it. As the APN data is static you should be able to edit it whenever the phone is powered and has a SIM card (even if you are not registered in any network at that moment), as with the data on the SIM you can know who is your operator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388046 Title: Cannot edit APN when switching to Manually for slot 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1388046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Go to Cellular - Carriers - SIM 2. Switch to Manually in Choose carrier: list. But APN stays grey and I cannot enter APN data. See attached screenshot. + + It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 1388044. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388046 Title: Cannot edit APN when switching to Manually for slot 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1388046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1388046] Re: Cannot edit APN when switching to Manually for slot 2
Originally, I had specified that On the carrier screen, the 'APN' item should be insensitive whenever the SIM is not associated with a carrier. But then I was told that which APN you use is independent of which carrier you use. So I removed that restriction as part of the design for bug 1388044. This bug report seems to be expecting a third behavior: that you should be able to change the APN when switching to Manually -- and presumably, not when the carrier is Automatic. So, which is correct? You should be able to specify an APN manually: (A) at any time, even when there is no carrier (e.g. you're in a tunnel) (B) whenever you're connected to any carrier (C) whenever you're connected to a manually-chosen carrier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388046 Title: Cannot edit APN when switching to Manually for slot 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1388046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
