1117929 - [Dialer]- Using Dialer control codes to change SIM pin does not generate 3 'wrong guesses' to lock the SIM when entering the incorrect current code numerous times.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Dialer, defect)

Attachment: logcat_20150105_1129.txt

Description:
 When using Settings > SIM Manager > SIM Security to change the SIM pin and inputting the incorrect current PIN you will be prompted with a message stating you have 2 tries left before the SIM becomes locked and you must use the PUK code to unlock it. Users can use the Dialer app to change the SIM PIN but get unlimited incorrect guesses. This is a security issue as anyone could get unlimited 'guesses' to unlock the SIM.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150105010205
2) Start Dialer App
3) send **04*1234*6789*6789# (would change your PIN code from "1234" to "6789", update 1234 or 6789 as needed for your SIM but use INCORRECT SIM PIN)
4) Repeat 4 times

Actual:
SIM PIN does not lock, no warning message is given, 'wrong guesses' do not accumulate.

Expected:Dialer app will behave similar to Settings > SIM Security and will only allow the user so many wrong guesses

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: Regression which might break certification.

I'm resolving this as invalid - this is actually 'a bug of a bug' - or more accurately the results of two bugs:

Bug 1118421 - [Dialer][SIM PIN] - User is unable to change SIM PIN via the dialer unless SIM PIN is enabled in settings; gives misleading error message

Bug 1118422 - [Dialer][SIM PIN] - In 2.2 changing the SIM PIN via dialer with the wrong PIN does not give the proper error message (X tries remaining).

so this bug was encountered because in 2.2 The SIM PIN can not be changed when not enabled via Settings AND you don't get the proper error message
