Hi,
With qmi modems I am using (quectel EG25, sierra MC7304), sometimes I
don't have CellId and LocationAreaCode properties in netreg properties
while I am registered. Example:
root@klk-wiis-020001:~ # dbus-send --system --type=method_call
--print-reply --dest=org.ofono /quectelqmi_0
org.ofono.NetworkRegistration.GetProperties
method return time=1561022820.781396 sender=:1.8 -> destination=:1.25
serial=96 reply_serial=2
array [
dict entry(
string "Status"
variant string "registered"
)
dict entry(
string "Mode"
variant string "auto"
)
dict entry(
string "Technology"
variant string "lte"
)
dict entry(
string "MobileCountryCode"
variant string "208"
)
dict entry(
string "MobileNetworkCode"
variant string "10"
)
dict entry(
string "Name"
variant string "SFR"
)
dict entry(
string "Strength"
variant byte 40
)
]
CellId and LocationAreaCode come from Current serving system info
indication in QMI protocol. These indications contains many parameters
and most of them are optional. What's happening here is:
- first serving system info indication indicates modem is registered,
gives CellId and LAC
- another serving system info indication indicates modem is
registered,and give no information on CellId and LAC
When the second indication is processed, ofono_netreg_status_notify is
called with lac and cellid equal to -1. As a consequence, corresponding
NetworkRegistration properties are removed.
Here are traces from ofono when problem occurs:

I see two ways to fix this problem:
1) modify QMI modem driver to remember LAC and CellId inside the driver.
When a notification arrives without CellId or LAC information, use
remembered information. The drawback of this solution is that these
information are remembered twice: in driver and in core.
2) modify core to add a way for drivers to say that these parameters are
not modified. The drawback of this solution is that it is a change in
core (even a change in core interface with drivers)
I assume that solution 1 is better of this problem is for QMI modems
only. I assume that solution 2 is better if some other drivers can have
the same kind of problems.
What do you think? How should I fix this problem? Will a change in
driver/core interface be helpful?

the same kind of problems.
What do you think? How should I fix this problem? Will a change in
driver/core interface be helpful?
The general rule is that oFono follows 27.007 interface whenever
possible. Any deviations from 'idealized' 27.007 behavior have to be
handled by the driver.
27.007 is generally understood to always include lac/ci on all updates,
so I think qmimodem is stuck caching the lac/ci info if the firmware
doesn't provide it in all cases.

Lac and cellid information are optional in ss_info notifications.
Remember them in order to give a correct information each time a
notification is received.
