No mobile data on BT service

mikeand

Hi Again,
I am beginning to wonder if I have a hardware issue. I have tried these settings. Still no joy.
Am I right in thinking that a hardware issue would also effect SMS and calls rather than picking on poor old mobile data?

@mikeand If it works under Android, the UT will be the issue. It may be worthwhile installing some version of Android to test this. (Try /e/OS, it is based on Android (Lineage) is easy to install and is degoogled).

mikeand

Thanks for that I will give the /e/OS ago and see what happens.

Hello again,

I installed e/OS and I have mobile data back again. So next step s reinstall UT and see if it is broken from the install. If it is I think I will revert to e/OS. If it is working I will see if it is something else that causes the issue. Waydroid or Libertine containers perhaps.

Would you like me to post back the outcome?

@mikeand maybe you could watch the APN settings in Android, to see if there is something different?

mikeand

Unfortunately the ones used by android are as specified by BT for android phones, as posted by Lakotaubp in this thread. 1 amongst the many I tried under UT.

@mikeand But they work on all my UT devices, which is why your problem is puzzeling.

@lakotaubp @mikeand

Both of you could share the content of the file /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf.
Maybe there is some difference, which is needed for the provider?

@Lakotaubp which device do you have?

@luksus will sort log later. Phone is now Pixel 3a but have used Op5,3 and 1. Only issue I had was making sure the info was saved when entered and splitting it into two. One for mobile data one for mms. Other than that no problem.

@mikeand if you are still interested in solving this issue, you could try the following:

with Ubuntu Touch started, open a terminal and make the root partition writable writeable:

sudo mount -o rw,remount /

Edit the ril_subscription.conf (There are two files, the FP3.conf should be leading, but to be sure, edit both):

sudo nano /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf
# and
sudo nano /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.d/FP3.conf

Add useDataProfiles=true:

# Ofono configuration for FP3

[Settings]
#EmptyConfig=false
#Identity=radio:radio
#3GLTEHandover=true
#SetRadioCapability=auto

SetRadioCapability=off
emptyPinQuery=false
radioPowerCycle=false
confirmRadioPowerOn=false
useDataProfiles=true

[ril_0]
transport=binder:name=slot1
name=slot1

[ril_1]
transport=binder:name=slot2
name=slot2

Then save it, selecting the "Nano" keys at the burger-menu above the keyboard and tapping "Ctrl-X", then hitting "y".
If everything is done, reboot the device.
