SIM Unlocking impossible

Open lmgarret opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

This works great but it's impossible to unlock SIM cards (screen won't appear) unless I reboot and catch the lockscreen at the very start. I've got a Dual Sim phone so it feels useless now that I still have to reboot!

This off topic, but if you know a way to unlock a SIM without the use of the lockscreen (that would be blocked by your addon), I'd be happy with that too!

I don't really understand the problem or the reason for this. SIM unlocking, which is handled through the lockscreen, as you correctly said, is explicitly not blocked:

I disactivated all possible interfering modules to test again, and I still have this issue. A wild guess would be that the phone manufacturer implemented an other way to trigger the SIM unlocking screen to handle dual sim, instead of the stock SIM unlocking way. May I be of any help by providing you some kind of logs? I don't really know which ones could be useful!
