Cell Data on Ubuntu Touch and Mobian

a new ubuntu touch image was released about 5 days ago, and it seems

to fix the button debouncing problem i had with it about a week ago!

so i am going to sit with ubuntu touch for the pinephone for a while,

sheerly because cell data just works for it right out of the box

i am going to do a little more investigation into Mobian, however, so

i have bought a couple of cheap SD cards and i am going to flash the

latest image of _that_ distribution onto one and see if my fiddling

with the image i have on the eMMC was the cause of my loss of cell

data

i originally thought i had to establish a PPP connection in Mobian in

order to make the data work, not no such software was needed with

ubuntu touch, so i am at a total loss as to why cell data is so

intermittent and faulty on Mobian. very, very curious.

i even went into the serial console of the modem in Mobian and tried

to take a look around in _there_, but i couldn't figure it out.

my only explanation for my cell data cut out on Mobian for me was

because i had switched the cell modem into AT command mode, and out of

data mode, and that i couldn't get it back the way it was, and so cell

data was cut off.
