[Bug 1339792] Re: Panel network icon - too much latency when network type changes

 

As requested by Antti, here's the i-n-sniffer log. This starts with wifi
killswitch enabled and the indicator showing the 3G icon.

Wlan killswitch changed to: 0
NetworkManager properties changed:
  WirelessEnabled false
NetworkManager properties changed:
  WirelessEnabled true
NetworkManager properties changed:
  ActiveConnections (now have 1)
NetworkManager properties changed:
  ActiveConnections (now have 1)
NetworkManager properties changed:
  ActivatingConnection 
  ActiveConnections (now have 2)
NetworkManager properties changed:
  ActiveConnections (now have 2)
NetworkManager properties changed:
  ActivatingConnection 
  PrimaryConnection 
NetworkManager primary connection type changed to 802-11-wireless.
Ofono network registration 1 property Strength changed to 48.
Ofono network registration 1 property LocationAreaCode changed to 1018.
Ofono network registration 1 property CellId changed to 32087.

The icon changes at the exact moment the third lowest line (Strength
changed to 48.) gets printed to the console.

Bug description:
  Testing image #u122 this morning, I ran into two separate scenarios
  where the panel network icon didn't always accurately reflect the
  current network technology due to some kind of latency detecting
  network changes ( ie. WiFi -> 3G -> WiFi ).

  Both scenarios were reproduced on mako.

  Scenario 1:

  3G: online
  WiFi: enabled; connected to AP 1

  - display network menu
  - tap another secure network
  - tap cancel when Password dialog is displayed

  At this point the indicator shows '3G' whereas the network menu still
  shows the original AP 1 as connected.  After some period of time ( 10s
  - 1m ), the icon will change back to show that WiFi is connected.

  Scenario 2:

  3G: online
  WiFi: connected to AP 1

  - go to System Settings::WiFi
  - click "Previous Networks"
  - select the currently connected AP/network
  - click Forget Network
  - go back to WiFi settings

  The WiFi settings correctly shows the AP is no longer connected,
  however again the network icon takes some time ( 10s - 1m ) to reflect
  the change back to "3G".
