Bug #1725
openiPhone6 network selection issue with GSM1900
0%
Description
We have some form of issue with the iPhone 6S (we can use messenger to move it around). Now the iPhone is a really bad phone (manual network selection not re-scanning, selecting it not trying to access the network in a reasonable amount of time). But what I can re-produce:
- Put customer IMSI in the phone
- Wait for the network to be selected
- Enter airplane mode
- Leave airplane mode
Theory:
The LU should lead to the ARFCN be written to the SIM card. This ARFCN should be tried after the airplane mode (or reboot) is used. But the phone ends up in "No Service". I make my tests with with a RevA hardware and maybe slightly incorrect calibration but other phones behave a lot better.
Reality:
What happens is that after the airplane mode.. the phone does not select a network (It goes to Searching and then prints No Network). Toggling "Automatic" to "Manual" network seaearch it sometimes starts to connect it (after many many minutes).
Stats:
iPhone 6s Version 9.3.2 (14F69) Carrier 24.0 Model MKQK2ZD/A Modem Firmware 1.60.00
For reference the SIs of another small network at 1900

WHat seems to make a difference is to enable emergency calls in the cells. This way I was able to enter airplane mode and leave it several times and get a quick re-connect.

so what do we do about this? Assume this is all that relates to the issue and close the ticket? Or do you think it is worth to investigate further?

The customer still has a ticket to "test" open. I would like to keep this one open until they did test. The main issue is that there is "state" involved.. both in the iPhone and the SIM card. This makes a/b testing a bit more involved.
