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

 

Could you attach /var/log/syslog from the phone when it's connected to
both wifi and 3G? We should be able to know from there whether it
includes all the nameservers it should.

>From there, it's up to whichever responds faster among all the
nameservers, which will be used.

  Phone doesn't use WiFi DNS when also connected to cell

Bug description:
  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
