This issue (not picking up the advertised default gateway), introduced in 1.0.7.16 seems to have gone (hasn't ocurred again since, but it's always hard to tell with these intermitent issues if it was fixed or I've just been lucky).

No real improvement over connectivity. I used to have lots of disconnections and the device failed to reconnect after that. I've since discovered that the device does reconnect, but has no IP address:

ifconfig | grep inet6
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

You know what I realized about that? The device needs a local-link to subscribe to the RA multicast address. The device seems to NOT have a local-link address, and that's very wrong. This is probably why it's not getting any internet access.

Maybe I can provide new feedback regarding my issue? I'd be more than happy to help.

UPDATE: If I try to do stuff like "check mail", I get the wireless connection dialog, every time. I pick my home network, but the same keeps happening (as noted above, it seems I'm actually connected, but IPless). As a workaround, I've found that disabling wireless and re-enabling it generally picks up an IP.

I have updated to hot-fix. A connection problem appeared, which I do not know if connected to connman: During the upgrade I had my personal SIM inside the device. After that I inserted my business SIM and now mobile data is inactive. If I revert back to private SIM - mobile data is working. Both SIMs are one mobile operator, but as I work for this operator, the business one is getting different IP so it can access some parts of the corporate network. I tried several reboots, I deleted the settings for cellular in /var/lib/connman hoping that they will be recreated again. Inserted several time the different SIMs - still when business SIM inside mobile data is disabled. Any ideas? May be @Aard can suggest what to try to get back the mobile data? It had been working for months with business SIM.

At first: Thank you to let us beta-test some of your changes. I hope, we are able to test more new software / releases in the feature.

Now to the hotfix:

I had troubles from the beginning, to connect my Jolla to my WLAN. It was absolutely unstable and I got errors like "Connection Error" and "Wrong value [...]". So I tested around and changed my WLAN encryption from WPA2/PSK-only to WPA/PSK-only (AES).

After that change, all Problems where gone and my Jolla connected with my WLAN without any (or very few) problems. But I think, that this could not be the final solution for this.

So I installed the hotfix yesterday and I tested my WLAN connection again. I updated the firmware of all my hardware to the latest versions:

• TP-Link TL-WR1043ND with latest OpenWRT snapshot (11.06.2014)
• TP-Link TL-WDR4900 with latest OpenWRT snapshot (11.06.2014)
• TP-Link Powerline WLAN Access-point TP-Link TL-WPA4220 with latest firmware

After the firmware updates, I changed the WLAN encryption from WPA/PSK-only to WPA2/PSK-only again and played around a bit.

At first my Jolla connected without any problems to my WLAN, but after a while the connection problems appeared again. My Jolla lost the connection and I was able to reconnect by selecting my WLAN manually. But that happened quite often and this morning my Jolla completely refused to connect to my WLAN and I had to reboot it to get it working again. So I decided to switch the encryption back again and now it works perfectly.

In my /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log I have a lot of these two messages:

• wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED
• rfkill: WLAN unblocked

All of them sometimes 6+ times in a row.

So for me, this hotfix did not solve my connection problems at all. I hope, this could be fixed somehow in the future.

Here is my use case on a 24h cycle:

• home
  • open Wifi (no security at all, except I'm in the middle of nowhere)
  • no mobile network
• from home to work
  • alternate from 2G, to 3G, to 2G, to no network, to 3G
• at work
  • 3G
  • WPA-PSK wifi

What happens is that after a work / home / work commuting, mobile data connextion is lost, I have to reboot. My question is: how could I get some logs from connman / ofono I could activate for one or two days to have more information ?

It seems that when both wifi and mobile data are enabled, the device is connected to both of them (ifconfig shows two IP addresses, wlan0 and rmnet0). Testing which connection is actually used, I downloaded a file, and it seemed to use mobile data for that (again checking ifconfig for RX/TX bytes line). Tried toggling the wifi, but the phone still prefers to use mobile data instead of wifi. The WLAN here is not encrypted (no WPA).

I haven't so far had any other problems with the hotfix, other than connecting to my university's eduroam WiFi network. It would be fantastic if the eduroam/enterprise WiFi connection problems could be fixed.

There is a full list of settings for the Sussex eduroam instance here. Please let me know if there are any logs etc. I can provide to help in getting this fixed.

Not sure if it's related to the hotfix or update 7.

Automatic sync of my imap email account doesn't work anymore. When I refresh manually new mails show up.

I am currently not in the environment where I had problem with the WLAN. At my parents home there are two access points, one FritzBox and one TP-Link AC. There I lost connections regularly.

At my home, with only one WLAN access point, I never had these problems.

But yesterday (with 1.0.7.16) my mobile connection was gone. It was greyed out and there was no way to activate it. It was set to auto discovery and the ComboBox below showed the appropriate provider. I tried to set the mobile provider manually, but it did not find anything. Today I installed hotfix (1.0.7.18). After the restart the mobile network was still not available, but now it was possible to choose the provider manually, what fixed the problem and mobile network is back.

Both before and after the update Jolla does not see my network shared with the laptop. This network is the type IBSS, and checking from Jolla tool 'iw' network is seen. The network is unhidden, unsecured and has its own DHCP, other devices connect to it properly. Below result from tool for this network:

[root@dhcppc9 nemo]# iw dev wlan0 scan
BSS 4e:55:92:1d:e1:96 (on wlan0)
        TSF: 1657059766 usec (0d, 00:27:37)

        capability: IBSS (0x0002)
        signal: -37.00 dBm
        last seen: 0 ms ago

        Supported rates: 1.0* 2.0* 5.5* 11.0* 18.0 24.0 36.0 54.0

        ERP: <no flags>
        Extended supported rates: 6.0 9.0 12.0 48.0
        ...

Would it be a chance to turn on the visibility and the ability to connect to this type of network?

No dice. Wlan (mixed-mode n/g with WPA1+WPA2) still has the same tendency to crash and/or fail to reconnect. Reloading wlan.ko and restarting connman seems to help, but before the hotfix I didn't have to do that, usually disabling/enabling wlan did the trick. Unfortunately, connman is a very opaque piece of software (and it plays tricks with wpa_supplicant just to make matters worse), so I didn't manage to extract any useful info.
