      Is there a simple command to disable mobile data in a script?

      nmcli radio wwan off
      nmcli connection down

      gsettings set com.lomiri.touch.connectivity.cellular data-enabled false
      gsettings set com.lomiri.touch.connectivity.cellular data-active false

      dbus-send ... com.canonical.Unity.Connectivity.SetCellularDataEnabled boolean:false

      /usr/share/ofono/scripts/deactivate-context /ril_0 1 (APN-Kontext entladen)
      /usr/share/ofono/scripts/set-gprs-powered /ril_0 false (GPRS-Modul abschalten)
      /usr/share/ofono/scripts/set-tech-preference /ril_0 gsm (Drosselung auf 2G/GSM)

      Nothing disables mobile data

          @gpatel-fr Thank you so much for the crucial tip! With just a few tweaks, it now works on my device. I was also able to successfully determine my location this way.
          The one-click “NOKIA 3210 mode” is now complete!
          Battery life is 3 days, but I can always be reached by phone or text message.

            Unfortunately, disabling location tracking doesn't work quite as well as it should. It turns off location tracking, but it also disables the toggle switch.

            ## Turn off location services
sudo -u phablet DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/32011/bus" dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.lomiri.location.Service /com/lomiri/location/Service com.lomiri.location.Service.SetEnabled boolean:false 2>/dev/null
sudo -u phablet DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/32011/bus" dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.ubuntu.location.Service /com/ubuntu/location/Service com.ubuntu.location.Service.SetEnabled boolean:false 2>/dev/null

              try

              sudo dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.lomiri.location.Service /com/lomiri/location/Service org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:com.lomiri.location.Service string:IsOnline variant:boolean:true

              dbus-monitor is your friend for this kind of problem.

              sudo dbus-monitor --system >system.txt

              or

              dbus-monitor --session >session.txt
