Internet in user profiles #4335

Closed userT05 closed 1 week ago

userT05 commented 1 week ago

Why can't I turn on/off the Internet from the SIM card in user profiles

thestinger commented 1 week ago

It's a standard Android restriction for user profiles to prevent a user that's not the owner of the device fully disabling internet. We could make it a toggle. This is already part of https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/4066.

Okay. Sorry to ask me. But can it have a switch anytime soon Because this makes me switch between users' files a lot

thestinger commented 1 week ago

Why not just leave it on?

userT05 commented 1 week ago

Because I use wifi at home and I use the Internet from my SIM card when I'm out of the house that's what makes me switch a lot.

You don't need to turn it on and off. It will use Wi-Fi instead of mobile data when Wi-Fi is working. There's no need to manually toggle it unless you want the internet connection to fail if Wi-Fi drops.

thestinger commented 6 days ago

Wi-Fi is preferred over mobile data when the Wi-Fi connection is working properly. You're doing something manually that's automated well already. It won't fall back to cellular unless the Wi-Fi connection is very poor or lacks working internet access. You probably do want it to fall back automatically when it does, therefore why not leave it automated?

I didn't know that. I'll use it now without the switch. I want to thank you and the whole team for this wonderful work.
