I saw this linked from MacRumors during the AT&T iPhone 18 Pro Max lockup news discussions. It was interesting to see what AT&T/Apple did to try to get ahead of the issue. So far it looks like they disabled 5G Standalone mode, possibly just to prevent a bug from literally destroying the hardware (possibly only on one batch of phones).
Apple/AT&T still haven't released any kind of statement addressing the issue other than to replace affected hardware.
I wonder which field is responsible for disabling the Personal Hotspot feature? About a year ago mine suddenly got disabled in the phone's UI. Since then, the only time it got enabled was when I was traveling and using a travel eSIM.
It's sad that phone companies allow carriers such anti-user things.
Nice! Thank you for this public service. Phone makers & carriers should be ashamed of themselves for hiding such important configuration behind proprietary formats. If you [lurker] are a decision maker who decided to make our world this way: for shame, for shaaame!

Did you buy your phone through the carrier?
There are apps that can act as a SOCKS proxy for limited hotspottivity. Probably mostly on Android.
> Did you buy your phone through the carrier?
No.
This is super cool. Particularly for the fact that it just showed my country's operators rather than the usual America First.
It would be great to contribute whatever's applicable to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-inf...
will look into this :)
Probably not a good idea if you used AI in any way to help with obtaining this info, they will ban you at the tiniest whif of you using AI
Best is to contribute the info, make sure it's accurate, and if they ban someone for contributing accurate info, let them.
GNOME is a circus.
What do you use the info you have gathered for? It seems comprehensive but curious as to how you use it?

Can I use these settings to disable incoming calls? Does GrapheneOS have this option at the android level?
No, but you can automate rejecting an incoming call with Tasker
How did you build the UI? Is it custom?
plain old CSS w/ svelte (and their new-ish remote functions)!
What's more useful, or at least was a while ago, is the CA combos list - basically showing which bands can be aggregated and how.
A while ago I built a decoder for that (Qualcomm only!), it was fun and helped me improve the support of my device for my carrier.
https://github.com/denysvitali/ca-combos-editor
Reminds me of the CDMA days when the qualcom software got leaked
just amazing - good work!
...and wonder what kinds of settings "restrictive regimes" will use
I could imagine stuff like com.apple.voicemail.imap use SSL => false

mhm!
huh. look at that.
Not really sure what to do with the information, but I love the UI.
Also interested in this - what does this information unlock?
nerd tier 8. and after that you get nerd tier 9
Very early-2000s
Are these configs read-only on the phone or is it possible to manipulate them using the data here to de/activate any service?
You can trick iOS into running different bundles for your carrier up until the most recent beta (just fixed)
A very common thing to do in Russia for instance where WiFi calling isn’t available: https://github.com/ios-bundles/CarrierSIM
Depends on the OS. GrapheneOS can override a bunch of them: https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-settings-overrides
very interesting here is my carrier for instance https://carrierexplode.com/ios/carriers/Free_fr/72.0/setting...
bro this is neat
