Mobile data use when mobile data and roaming are turned off
- /e/ version: 1.11
- Device model(s): FP4 (maybe others too)
- Developer mode enabled: yes
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: no
Summary
When BOTH "mobile data" AND "Roaming", is turned off, the phone still uses some mobile data in roaming.
The problem
Steps to reproduce
When I'm on roaming (not in EU, where roaming is cheap), I stop BOTH "mobile data" AND "Roaming" , to make sure there will be no mobile data use as data prices are very, very high. Even though both are disabled, at some point the phone uses mobile data! , which results in financial loss for me. This happened to me 2 times! , I guess it may be related to restarting of the phone. In both cases, I was also using Wi-Fi. Bug report is available.
What is the current behavior?
Mobile data is used
What is the expected correct behavior?
Mobile data should not be used
