And, I tried using the raw IP address of my home Internet connection. The idea being to test if DNS is blocked, by using just an IP address. But, this also fails in the same way.
With PingTools installed, and making sure that WiFi is turned off again, ping and traceroute to an IP address both fail. The error in traceroute is “network is unreachable”.
I guess I should have realized if all browsing is working through wifi then it (most likely) wouldn’t be the iodé app. Basically the iodé app is “man in the middle dns content filter”, so good test checking if it was just DNS (well maybe the app blocks based on destination IP aslo, I haven’t looked closely at the raw block lists).
I just checked setting up a wifi hotspot on my phone, and had mobile data disabled. I was able to browse the web on another connected phone. So I think that wifi hotspot is by default bridging to your existing wifi network, meaning this is why you were able to browse the web through other devices using your phone as a wifi hotspot.
So this sure seems like an APN / carrier configuration issue. The “Mobile data won’t autoconnect” is resolved I believe by you enabling the toggle, right? But still no working network? Also, did we confirm what build of iodé you are on? I assume you have my “unofficial” build for the 4a, sunfish?
I think you may have misunderstood what I said. The scenario with WiFi connected is working fine, no problem, etc, but what I want to work is the scenario of being away from home and relying solely on mobile network connection. To emulate that I keep turning off WiFi, but one time I forgot to do so.
I’m not sure what you’re asking in the last paragraph. To test mobile data I’m turning off WiFi, and the mobile data remains on.
As for Iode build, I’m using whatever comes by default for sunfish using the installer app on Linux.
The latest thing I’ve installed is Network Cell Info LIte …
This shows “HSPA Vodafone” with the needle in the green zone and reading -79, and “SIM1” is also in the green zone with -81.
But, in the “speed” tab it says no data network is connected.
No. The WiFi Hotspot test is with WiFi turned off. Also, I’ve used that trick away from home, turning on the WiFi Hotspot (with no WiFi available) then using another device to browse the Internet through the WiFI hotspot.
