[Bug 1456112] [NEW] Phone doesn't use WiFi DNS when also connected to cell

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find it and wasn't
sure what package would cover it so opted for system-settings. It is a
fairly specific bug given not everyone will be using BT wifi, but
probably the issue will arise with other ISPs.

When I turn on wifi at home, my phone connects to the Hub fine but Web
access is limited because the phone continues to use the DNS settings
from the cell network (I think). I get an error from BT about using
external DNS rather than those it supplies (required for the child
filter). I haven't tried disabling the filters yet but I could I
suppose.

If I turn on flight mode and then re-enable wifi everything works fine
but then I don't get phone calls, etc. of course.

Turing off flight mode breaks stuff again.

The phone is a BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition running Ubuntu 14.10 (r22)
Image Part 20150508 Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (Development branch)
