I suggest that to save battery, GSM data connection and Wi-Fi network
scanning follow the same backoff: when not connected, try again after 5
seconds, then 10 seconds, then 20, 40, 80, 120, 120, 120 ... or
something like that. (Cellular network scanning might follow a similar
pattern, but more slowly, since cellular networks change less often.)

Title:
  [phone] No way to force a retry of GSM data connection

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Won't Fix
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When in spotty coverage areas, the GSM data connection sometimes fails, and due to bug #1235120 there's no feedback on why there's no network available.
  There's also no way to force a retry of the data connection other than toggling flight mode or the data connection type in cellular settings.

  I would feel more in control if the GSM connections would be listed in
  the network menu with the ability to switch to one of them (so being
  able to switch data SIMs in a dual-SIM phone without going to
  settings). Currently they're some magic connections that supposedly
  work by themselves, but this assumption breaks when they stop working.
