Can't unlock SIM
#1
Hi everyone

I recently bought a PP comunity edition , and i've been trying out most of majors OS 'manjaro , mobian , Ubuntu Touch ,...) now come the turn of SAILFISH wich is for now the smoothest one but , i just encountered a probleme i did not on any of the other OS's the SIM card won't unlock .

It is detected allright as i'm prompted with the unlock sim card screen at phone's startup , if i enter a incorrect pin code on purpose it tells me "wrong pin" but as soon as i enter the correct one ... nothing happens i touch the tick symbol and nothing happens , so utimately i'm forced to ignore this step and i can use every other functions of my phone except the phone related ones (sic).

if i try to unlock it from the settings-->security--->SIM it doesn't work either .

I'm really enthusiatic about the pinephone ,and would really like to get android free , sailfish seem to offer a good balance between user experience/functionality so i'm kinda frustrated about the whole phone not working thing , if anyone coudl help me it would be much appreciated.

Thank a lot

Yes I am having the same issue and been trying to figure it out for days. They seen to be the closest to an android layout.

There seems to be a solution to the sim pin unlock problem:
https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevi.../issues/16
https://git.sailfishos.org/neochapay/ofono/issues/1
Any chance we can get it into current image built with flash-it.sh script?
