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 slow
Sure, I might be overthinking this, and if the logic ends up as "!wifi
&& enough_gsm_signal === gsm_data_connection", then this bug would be
moot.
With the only caveat that I think we can only retry a GSM data
connection every so often to not waste battery, but if that interval is
low enough (5s?)
Explaining why there's no data available isn't bug 1235120 (that's about
showing progress), it's bug 1275761. The design for the latter may
include inviting you to enter System Settings to fix the problem.
Even if it doesn't, though, I strongly disagree that there should be any
way of retrying a c
