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

 

Matthew, I don't think this is a problem with battery consumption. It
might be that it affects it, but I honestly don't care too much.

My problem is just that I want to be able to turn on and off the
internet connection from the indicator; whether the internet connection
is WiFi or 3g, it's of secondary importance.

The reason why I want to do that is because sometimes I just don't want my phone to be active on the internet. Like, when I sit in front of my PC and I use the Telegram application in it, I don't want to receive a notification on my phone whenever someone writes me, if I have Telegram just opened in front of me on my desktop!
Same for Twitter, GMail, and all other notifications. I just want to be offline with my phone, if I'm online with my PC.

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 !
