(Please ALWAYS attach relevant data such as logs, screenshots, etc…)
I tested this on 4.1, more than 20 times…
The device, XA2, was encrypted, with “defaultuser”. I saw this once or twice on an XA2plus, unencrypted, “nemo”.
After the first PIN prompt, the spinner stutters.
Workaround:
Set DefaultStartLimitInterval to 180 s (/etc/systemd/system.conf).
At least, I couldn’t reproduce it then…
Additionally:
Quite often, this was acompanied by the SIM PIN entry misbehaving. The UI claimed that the SIM PIN was incorrect, when it was correct. SIM PIN not re-entered a second time, continued without unlocking the SIM. Then, the network icon was grayed out, calling out was not possible, but, receiving calls worked, “unlocking” the SIM in settings by tapping on it, disabling and enabling was possible without entering the SIM PIN.
