[Bug 1373463] Re: [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator

 

Note: there is no need to add a new button: the Nokia N9 had a very
simple UI for connecting to the internet, which we could refer to:

of course, in our case we could have it all in the same menu, without the need of opening a separate page. But the point is that the Cellular connections should be listed along with the WiFi access points (on the top of the list) and the user would simply toggle between "internet on" and "internet off".
More options (such as "switch to a Wifi connection whenever available") could be implemented in the system settings.

Bug description:
  I was wondering : Why it isn't possible to disable data from the
  network indicator ? Probably with a switch button that offer the
  choice between no data or data activated (with the last data activated
  state (2g only or 2G,3G,4G).

  Why this ? Because it's the first setting to change to save battery,
  and probably one of the most used (I asked around me, everyone agreed
  they would prefer that over Wi-Fi if only one was possible).

  I think it's stupid to go to the settings app for the most common
  action (and very frustrating). Of course, this also apply for the
  battery setting page (that already contain Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and
  brightness settings).

  I asked that on the phone ML, I've been invited to file a wishlist bug
  there to "help" designers with next iteration of network indicator. So
  here it is !
