[Q] How to check the mobile connection state using the terminal? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to check the state of my mobile connection.
How can I do that in terminal?
My problem is:
The phone states that it's connected to a HSDP network (showing H in the network indicator), but a connection is not available. I get timeouts.
I fear there is a discrepancy between what is shown in the indicator and the real connection state.
ifconfig states that a connection is established on ccnmi0...

Data connectivity problem

Hi guys. im having some paranoid issues here.
While im browsing the net, this message showed up in a box:
"Data connectivity problem" "A secure connection could not be established"
The thing is, my data network mode is deactivated. so what does this mean?
if you are using wifi.
It means that your phone tried to revert to mobile network but failed to establish a connection because dara was turned off.
it happens when the wifi signal fluctuates, the phone tries to fall back on mobile darta network. it is fairly common occurance when using wifi.

[Q] trying to connect hotspot clients to local network

Is it possible to creat a hotspot that connects to a local network instead of the cell data? I connect several devices to tab 3 tablets in vehicles i would like to connect them to my network when they are at my facility. I would like to keep them in groups and have this work automaticly, maybe by using tasker to turn off data and switich to local network by location or time ect. (make hotspot a client on my local network)
normally the wlan connection to the wlan-router is turned off when wlan-hotspot is used in Android.
why not connecting the devices directly through wlan-router to the local network? or a wlan repeater if the signal is too weak.
Or you could connect the hot-spot to a PC via USB , which in turn is connected to the network.
AFAIK only Miracast can maintain 1 connection with the router and 1 connection with a end device concurrently. But I guess that's no helping in your case.

Android Support for Multihoming

Wondering whether Android supports multihoming, in other words, using both a Wi-Fi and LTE connection at the same time?
It seems not, that if Wi-Fi is connected then LTE is disabled.
If my Wi-Fi cannot connect to the Internet for some reason, I would like to be able to continue connecting to resources
that are local to Wi-Fi (and not accessible via Internet) and also access Internet through LTE.

How to set static IP without specifying gateway

I'm trying to set up a Wifi with a static IP but NO gateway or DNS but until I enter a gateway and DNS the save button remains greyed out.
From a networking perspective, you should be able to have a Wifi connection without a gateway (This is true for all devices with multiple network connections) so that it uses an alternative connection (Mobile data in this case) but for some reason the Android devs seem to think otherwise.
The network I'm connecting to has no internet connection (Used for local connectivity only) so I need the phone to still use my mobile connection whilst connected. As Android turns off mobile data when connected to Wifi I was hoping I could leave the gateway blank to force it to use it's mobile connection when connected to this network but I can't
How can I either have mobile data on for just 1 SSID or save a connection with no gateway so it does use mobile (I tried 0.0.0.0 to no avail)?
Phone is a rooted HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.4

Connecting Android-Tablet to WiFi without Internet Access

Hello,
I have troubles to connect my android tablet to a subnet of my WiFi that has no connection to the internet:
the router is set to IP-address 192.168.178.1 (subnet mask is 255.255.255.0). The tablet and a few other devices (that shall have no connection to the internet) are set to fixed adresses within the range 192.168.182.xxx. As the router does not respond within this adress range, the devices may communicate with each other but do not have internet access.
This works well e.g. with a smartphone with Android v8.1.0.
The tablet (Android v7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1)) however keeps disconnecting and reconnecting all the time and toggles between the states "not connected" and "connected, no internet".
I have read about the 'captive portal check' as a possible cause for this behaviour. Therefore, I disabled this check by executing the command "settings put global captive_portal_mode 0" in a terminal. The immediate result is that the WiFi now toggles between "not connected" and "connected", so that did have some effect. However it still keeps reconnecting.
Does anybody have an idea what functionality may cause these reconnects? How can I achieve the same behaviour as with the android smartphone that simply maintains a stable WiFi connection?
Thanks in advance!
