rubdosWeird question. Back in February, when I was abroad, I upgraded my 10 IV in San Diego at my hotel. Ever since, it's been stuck in flight mode, even over a next upgrade. It's "stuck" in a sense that the flight mode button is permanently on, but I can call and use data just fine.16:47
rubdosNow, I'm flying again tomorrow (to a country that's not yet on the VoLTE list) and I honestly want it gone, haha16:47
rubdossomeone got an idea?16:47
rubdos[m]Ah looks like I'm here on the Matrix side as well.16:51
malrubdos: something to test, first stop ofono as root (systemctl stop ofono) and then remove content of folder /var/lib/ofono/ (you can take backup but should not matter) and then reboot the device17:03
rubdos[m]IIRC I have done that before, but I'll do that now!17:21
rubdos[m]rebooting17:22
rubdos[m]I think I've tried that on my way to the UK, and then I forgot that I had to re-disable IPv6 over mobile because of Some Bug.17:22
rubdos[m]Flight mode is still on, and still doesn't turn off, mal17:28
malwas flight mode claimed to be on or off refore reboot17:39
rubdos[m]Uhh, I could try again, but my money is on "on". I rebooted via ssh, so the screen was not even on.17:41
rubdos[m]I think I once succeeded in toggling it off, until the next boot. Maybe that's a piece of info that helps?17:42
malrubdos: try another thing, stop ofono and connman, then remove the content of that folder again, then also remove /home/defaultuser/.local/share/system/privileged/connman/settings and then reboot17:46
rubdos[m]ack17:46
rubdos[m]... I just realized I can't over ssh lol17:46
rubdos[m]both stopped, flight mode is "on"17:47
rubdos[m]folder emptied, settings removed, still "on"17:50
rubdos[m]rebooting.17:50
rubdos[m]wifi was "off" and mobile data was "on" together with flight mode and bt17:50
maland the flight mode toggle never goes off?17:52
rubdos[m]... I should've tried before the reboot. Booting now.17:55
malyou could also try rmeoving this in addition to those other ones /home/.system/var/lib/connman/settings17:56
rubdos[m]Now flight doesn't go off, and can't enable mobile from the pull-down17:56
maldo you try toggling flight mode from top menu or settings app?17:57
rubdos[m]top menu. Currently, it's off in the settings app (which it always was iirc)17:58
rubdos[m]I can try toggling it in settings, and maybe reboot after? IIRC that sometimes did the trick back when it wasn't broken17:58
rubdos[m](meanwhile I'm packing my luggage...)17:58
malwondering how those can be in different state, let me check the source code17:59
rubdos[m]Thanks :)17:59
rubdos[m]okay toggling disabled it18:00
rubdos[m]toggling in settings, that is18:00
rubdos[m]woah18:00
rubdos[m]"4G"18:00
rubdos[m]it actually shows my connectivity18:00
rubdos[m]so it was the connman/settings. I catted it before I rebooted, but didn't screenshot18:00
rubdos[m]stupid me18:00
rubdos[m]mal, you're a hero. Thank you!18:00
rubdos[m]Now I'm only left with the Bluetooth toggle issue, but iirc that's documented :-)18:01
malso now you have it working even after reboot?18:02
rubdos[m]Let's see!18:02
rubdos[m]I had never seen it recover without a reboot though; that one time was a toggle in settings and a reboot iirc.18:03
rubdos[m]it's again in flight18:09
rubdos[m]with mobile/wifi/bluetooth turned on18:09
rubdos[m]and flight in settings is turned off18:09
maldoes toggling it in settings do anything18:10
rubdos[m]yep, that turns it off18:10
malbut it still was in flight mode after boot18:11
rubdos[m]yep18:11
rubdos[m]before boot it was off, after reboot it was back on18:11
rubdos[m]I can turn it off, which turns on wifi, but not mobile (no sim card available, even) nor BT18:11
malcan you check those settings files if either one claims now that offline mode is active?18:11
malso modem doesn't recover even after boot?18:12
rubdos[m]/home/.system/var/lib/connman/settings claims it's offline18:12
rubdos[m]the other does not18:12
rubdos[m]mal: after reboot the modem was fine, but flight mode from pull-down was "on"18:13
rubdos[m]nb, I have never yet removed /home/.system/var/lib/connman/settings18:13
rubdos[m]only the defaultuser one18:13
maldid you ever get top menu in correct state?18:14
maldid settings app help with that?18:14
rubdos[m]yes, that toggle helps with it18:15
rubdos[m]iirc the settings app toggle never consistently did anything for this before, when I tried the past months18:15
malso make sure flight mode shows off, close settings app, stop ofono and connman, remove te files I mentioned, reboot18:15
rubdos[m](can't believe I've had it in this state for 8 months...)18:15
rubdos[m]makes sense, will do18:16
rubdos[m]hehe doing all that removes the mobile data icon from the pulley menu (before reboot)18:18
rubdos[m]rebooting18:18
malyeah, I think it might remove some stuff so setup the top menu again18:19
rubdos[m]not sure why I started this 12 hours before departure hehe18:21
rubdos[m]oh yes, now it seems to have booted clean18:22
malheh18:22
malnice18:22
rubdos[m]oh gosh18:22
rubdos[m]beautiful18:22
rubdos[m]bluetooth, 4G, wifi18:22
rubdos[m]all indicating18:22
rubdos[m]So ehh, you'll get VoLTE reports from two SIMs from a very peculiar country very soon.18:22
mal:)18:23
malI'll anyway investigate what is causing the mismatch of top menu and settings app18:23
rubdos[m]and I owe you a beer or two :)18:23
rubdos[m]at this point I probably owe you many more than two beers18:23
rubdos[m]anyway, you drink for free in Brussels ;-)18:23
