Re: [Announce] fAPN for N900
 
The user_added flag is something I made up so I could filter which IAP's to list in the UI, and prevent the user from removing the default access point. :)

I think it just takes any access point, without caring which one it is - but if you are getting consistent results with the latest one added being chosen by default that's a good thing I guess :)

Basically I think it comes down to the ICD not being designed for having more than one GPRS APN, which brings some unpredictable behavior ;)

Thanks for reporting your findings! :)

Ah, good to know. I was already about to start experimenting with removing the flag or assigning the flag to the default one... :)


My results were pretty consistent indeed: I tried a few dozen times either shutting down my wifi ap or disconnecting my gprs connection and then producing some activity that required an internet connection. With connection mode set to "always ask", "any" or GPRS (it shows my apn name but what it really means is "gprs"), the phone always connected to the apn added as last - which was the mms apn.

After I created another internet apn and repeated the tests, it is that new apn that always defaults. So apparently it is like that - the priority is the (reverse) order they were added in.


This probably doesn't count as a bug, since it was never meant to have more than one APN anyway...but could file a complaint for a missing APN sorting mechanism I guess.

Cool, it's a decent enough workaround at least :)

Regarding bug... I guess it's related; https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5791 :)

Probably a "fixed in harmattan", but...

I've added a new APN for my standard internet and I'll let yo know how it goes. Hopefully it will solve the 'nuisance factor' and be one less thing to worry about. :)

I've uploaded fAPN version 0.5 to extras-testing and would like to have some testers (and voters! ;)).

I'm sorry but I don't understand what the problem is with fAPN - is this maybe meant for the fMMS thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39737)?

I tried this approach, but no matter in what order I add the MMS APN and the new duplicate APN for the original packet connection, the other apps (browser, mail, etc) try to use the MMS APN. :(
