Need clarification in querying the pin status

Hi,

I need clarification for querying the pin status when enabling/disabling pin
fails and the maximum number of attempts of wrong password are reached in
the modem.

I am trying to enable pin with the wrong password, and trying to get the pin
status. I observe that the maximum number of attempts for wrong password
have reached and the modem has reached to puk state and also the modem
de-registers from network.
In this case when i tried to get the properties using "GetProperties", the
properties from the ofono core are received without querying the information

from the modem. The "PinRequired" received is "none" .

Could you please provide some info how to get the sim pin state when sim is
blocked on puk at run-time and is there any way for app to know the number
of attempts remaining.

Thanks,
Mamata

This is actually a bug in oFono, somehow we missed the fact that
ChangePin with the wrong PIN will decrease the retry counts.  The core
needs to be fixed to query the current PIN state and reset the state to
pre-sim if the retry limit is reached.

Can you please let us know if this is already addressed or this will be

This task is still pending, see the last task in the SIM / SIM File
System section of the TODO list.
