[Bug 1373463] Re: [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator
One option would be to have just a switch in the indicator, called
"Internet connection" and which can be turned on or off, replacing the
current "Wi-fi" option. When enabled, the list of wifi access points
would appear below it, and also the mobile connections for the two sims,
if available (if one of the SIMs is in roaming, and in System Settings
the user has chosen not to use mobile data in roaming, that SIM
connection should not appear).
Then, in the System Settings, there could be more options, such as
whether to prefer wi-fi over a mobile connection and switch to it
whenever available.

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 !
