The reason I asked for data on battery consumption is that it's the
first issue cited in the bug description. Either it's a real issue or it
isn't. If it is, producing data on it should be easy. If it isn't, data
usage isn't "another reason"; it is, at most, the only reason. And as
with battery usage, requiring the human to know and remember to fiddle
with a switch would be the least reliable way of solving it. For
example, if Telegram continues sending phone notifications when you are
actively using Telegram on a PC, that is a bug in the app. Have you
reported it?

That people commonly do something, or Web sites commonly advise
something, does not mean it's a good idea. For example, millions of
people routinely quit all background apps on their phone, because it's
easy to do, and they think it saves battery, but it actually wastes
battery. Making bad things easy to do is bad design.

Title:
  [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:

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 !
