Telephony Dead

[jhasler]

For a short time after installing Biktorgj's firmware I was able to sometimes make and receive calls though audio was poor and they often terminated.
However after some upgrades (one of which included modemmanager) that ended.  The modemmanager log now produces

  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (8/8): all done
  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (home -> searching)
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator code: Current operator MCC/MNC is still unknown 
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator name: Current operator id is still unknown
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (connected -> disconnecting)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (disconnecting -> searching)

and then loops forever with

  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (searching -> idle)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (searching -> enabled)
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect started...
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (4/8): wait to get fully enabled
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (5/8): register
  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (idle -> searching)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (enabled -> searching)

With frequent interjections of

  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator code: Current operator MCC/MNC is still unknown
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator name: Current operator id is still unknown

Evidently this problem is unique to my Pinephone.  I guess it's going to have to become a PDA.
Perhaps someday an upgrade will happen to fix it.
