[Bug 1413302] Re: GSM connected, but no data plan - should report disconnected

 

AFAIK, there's no way for ofono to know that "credit has run out".
ofono is responsible for attaching to the GPRS network and ensuring that
the correct ConnectionManager DBus properties are exposed ( 'Powered'
and 'Attached' ).  Likewise ofono exposes one or more GPRS contexts
which NM may choose to activate.

If the operator responds to an context activation request with valid IP
settings, then NM will use them to configure the data connection.

If packets on this new interface are dropped, we currently lack any kind
of network heartbeat mechanism to detect this situation.  This is no
different than being in an area that has borderline signal quality.
This is quite similar to the case where an Ubuntu desktop is connected
to a WiFi AP, but the the ISP that the AP is connected to is having
issues.

@Michael - in order to confirm the ofono state, could you please include
the output of ofono's 'list-modems' and 'list-contexts' scripts ( which
can be found in /usr/share/ofono/scripts on the phone )?
