Hi Claudio,
I would say update to 2.1 first. 2.0.5 is missing some packages that the
latest ofono build depends on.
After giving it a bit more thought, I'm leaning towards not merging this
one but instead extending the api in such a way that would allow
selecting an arbitrary combination of technologies.
Cheers,

Hi Slava,
I am interested in testing your solution. Does it work on SFOS 2.0.5
or do I have to upgrade to 2.1 first?
Also, how do I apply the patch? Is it possible to have it as
patchmanager patch in openrepos?
Lastly, does the patch also work on 3G (means, it strictly allows only
3G)?
Thank you
Claudio

Hi all,
This should allow to force the use of the particular cellular technology:
https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/ofono/merge_requests/112
Obviously, there's no UI for this option and there won't be any time
soon, but once this patch is merged, you will be able to enable it from
the command line like this:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.ofono
/ril_0 org.nemomobile.ofono.SimSettings.SetStrictTechnologySelection
boolean:true
The option survives the reboot and the value is stored on a per-SIM
basis. It would be nice if somebody could give it a try and let me know
(preferably by commenting on the merge request) if it does indeed help.
Cheers,
-Slava

restrict to 4G as callback switching didn't work and now it no longer
works as before, so you'll have to be happy with 3g because they fixed
it (jk, but wouldn't be surprised, edge cases get forgotten once they
figure out the popular case)
