[Bug 1470852] Re: Network activity indicator not implemented

 

** Description changed:

  Currently there is no way to tell when the phone is using data. This is
  important when deciding whether to put it into Flight Mode, when leaving
  Wi-Fi coverage, or when adjusting settings. It also makes apps seem less
  responsive when they were developed by someone who has a much faster
  Internet connection than you do.
  
  These issues can be resolved by implementing the network activity
  indicator. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>
  
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#activity-indicator>: "Therefore on
  the phone and tablet only, the “Network activity” indicator, a spinner,
  should be present whenever any process has used the network in the past
  five seconds. Its menu should list all applications that have used the
  network in the past five seconds, most recent first but updating only
  once every five seconds."
  
  (This bug report is under indicator-network initially because it covers
  a similar area. I have no opinion on whether the code should be part of
  the same package.)
  
- This is a CET requirement.
+ This is a CTA Level 3 requirement. Clarifying if this is for WiFi data
+ activity only.
