@tuxboson The modem in the BQ Aquaris E4.5 is dual-standby, which means it's not able to use both SIMs simultaneously.
If you're using one of the SIMs for data, and data is actually being transferred on the connection, incoming calls will be blocked on the other SIM. As you discovered, you can make an outgoing call on the other SIM, but when you do so, the data connection on the first SIM will be quiesced ( ie. temporarily suspended ) while the call is active. These scenarios can easily be tested without hotspot by just running a ping command from the terminal app. Regarding hotspot usage, do you have one or more clients connected to the phone when incoming calls are failing? Also you mention being unreachable after ending hotspot. How long did you wait to determine that you needed to reboot? There is a slight delay when data traffic is stopped, until incoming calls are receivable again, although I can't as yet quantify this delay. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Phonedations bugs, which is subscribed to ofono in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1536195 Title: Can't receive calls and sms while Hotspot is active Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in ofono package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using 2 Sim Cards Sim 1 for using telephone calls (Provider: Telering (Austria)) Sim 2 for using mobile internet (Provider: 3 AT; this Sim is a Data-Only Sim) While activating Hotspot (using/sharing the internet using Sim 2) I cant receive any calls (number from Sim 1) or SMS. When calling me the caller always get a message from tel-provider: "The customer is currently not accessible...", it seems like the phone switched of. But I can make calls during the phone is in "Hotspot"-mode without problems. Calls and SMS are related to SIM 1 Data is related to Sim 2 (is running in 2G/3G mode) After ending Hotspot I am not reachable at all. I have to reboot (sometimes twice) to be accessible again. ---------------------------------- Using bq Aquarius E4.5 Ubuntu Edition with Ubuntu 15.04 OTA-8.5 20151210 Phone is runing as it was delivered, no developer mode --------------------------------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1536195/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phonedations-bugs Post to : ubuntu-phonedations-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phonedations-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
