Tony, about: “My guess is that this is an instance of the multiple networks being present for the same carrier. When you select the one that doesn't roam, the modem switches you automatically to the network with better signal.”
Disable roaming for operator A in System Settings. If operator B appears on the network, System Settings can't do anything to stop ofono from roaming on B's network. Isn't a global roaming switch the answer here? System Settings' not a daemon, so it can only disable roaming for the networks it knows while used by the user. ** Changed in: ofono (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ofono (Ubuntu) Assignee: Eduard Stefes (eduard-stefes) => (unassigned) -- 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/1470835 Title: Roaming can not be turned off Status in ofono package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: the phone will go to roaming mode even through roaming is deactivated. This might be connected to "national roaming" between o2 and eplus in germany. - I expect the phone to not roam if roaming is disabled but is does. - If I try to manually select the native carrier, I get a list the possible networks BUT: all entries have the same name. - If I select the native carrier the roaming symbol disappears and the phone will use this network for some minutes, but then it goes back to roam in the other network! - mobile data does not work in the roaming network indifferent if roaming data option is enabled or disabled. wish: -> a possibility to totally turn of roaming To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ofono/+bug/1470835/+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
