Manual network selection doesnt work
asked 2015-07-20 16:04:27 +0200
I'm on holidays and desperately trying to get at least some network coverage for voice/SMS. While playing with the settings, I found that it's impossible to manually selecta network. There's a checkbox for automatic selection that's always checked. When I try to unselect it, I'm presented with a list of networks (which I can update, so scanning works kind of... sometimes). However, tapping on any of the entries in this list doesn't do anything. The only reasonable action is to swipe back to the previous page where I find the checkbox for automatic network selection still active.
On earlier version (1.0.7): After search, tapping on a network (non-grey) selects the network as it should, and returns to previous screen showing the manually selected Network, and "Select network automatically" unchecked. Could someone reproduce this on 1.1.6 / 1.1.7 to confirm if it's a new bug?

I've been spending my holidays in this very same hotel for more than ten years and it has always worked. plus, I work for my carrier at home, I'd know if their roaming agreements had changed. :)
