    Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for cellular wireless network characterization and selection based on wireless device usage, including selection of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and/or a subscriber identity module (SIM) best matched to PLMN characterized performance scores and/or habitual device usage of a wireless device. Network performance scores for multiple PLMNs based on crowd-sourced information are downloaded to a wireless device. The wireless device determines a best match between characterized network performance scores to habitual device usage characterization of the wireless device. A best matched roaming PLMN can be determined for a single SIM wireless device. A best matched SIM paired with a best matched PLMN can be chosen as a primary SIM to optimize roaming performance of a multiple SIM wireless device. Additionally, a SIM, associated with a best matched PLMN, can be recommended for installation to a multiple SIM capable wireless device.

    Abstract: A method includes outputting an alert corresponding to an information item. In some implementations, the alert is a sound. In some implementations, the alert is ambiguous (e.g., the sound indicates several possible information items). The method further includes receiving a speech input after outputting the alert. The method further includes determining whether the speech input includes a request for information about the alert. The method further includes, in response to determining that the speech input includes a request for information about the alert, providing a first speech output including information about the alert.

    Abstract: Techniques for identifying and utilizing connectivity issue patterns are described. More specifically, embodiments are directed to utilizing data regarding historical connectivity issues to avoid potential connectivity issues and/or resolve current connectivity issues. In some embodiments, data may be harvested from a plurality of UEs regarding connectivity issues and utilized to build an assistance data repository. In some such embodiments, relevant portions of the assistance data repository may then be provided to and utilized by UEs to avoid potential connectivity issues and/or resolve current connectivity issues. In this way, UEs can leverage the connectivity issues experienced by a population of UEs to improve network connectivity and performance. For example, patterns identified in connectivity issues experienced by the population may be utilized to identify efficient and reliable ways to resolve the connectivity issue when it is experienced in the future.
