Hey,
I've SIM-PIN blocked one of my SIM cards just by having a gsm
autoconnected settings with a PIN stored and then PIN not matching the
one in the device. When this happens, NM will try to unlock SIM-PIN
once, and if it fails it won't try again (good) (*)... until the next
reboot (bad). So, I forgot about this setup and after just a couple of
system reboots got the SIM-PIN blocked, and had to recover it with the
PUK.
Don't know if this kind of thing is done in other kinds of settings,
but could we completely remove the SIM-PIN stored within the settings
if it fails once, so that not even on the next reboot the unlock with
the wrong PIN is attempted? Or is this considered a user error? I'm
not exactly sure where to draw the line about this issue, I think I
have pros and cons for both solutions, so just opening the question
here.
What do you think?
(*) It also doesn't re-ask the user for the PIN right away, still need
to get trace logs as thaller suggested.
