@Tony Today I left home twice, once it worked fine, the other time I ran into this again. This kinda matches my experience of running into this every other time I leave home. Maybe a bit less. I would estimate it to about 40% of the times I leave my home. Reproducing it manually by turning WiFi off doesn't trigger it as often as with walking out WiFi range.
For me it definitely doesn't recover on its own, at least not with just waiting a few minutes. However, toggling flight mode on the phone usually makes the connection recover for me. IMO this is quite critical, and even if it would recover on its own after a while, there's nothing more annoying than being on the go and first having to toggle flight mode, or waiting 10 minutes before being able to use the map, or quickly googling something. Today for example we went for a walk, and after walking for some 20 minutes I wanted to look up the map. Pulled out the phone, the indicator says "H", I open the map and it doesn't load. Knowing that mobile data can be flaky at times, I waited for about 5 minutes for the map, keeping on tapping the screen in order to not get the map app suspended. Then I decided to toggle flight mode which then finally got me some map data. By then obviously we already walked in some wrong direction and were on our way back already. So this issue has the characteristic to always strike when you quickly need some mobile data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436427 Title: Turning off WiFi doesn't set a route after the modem connects data Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu RTM: Confirmed Bug description: I just switched off WiFi in order to test if the device switches successfully to a mobile data connection.
