Users pay for particular grades of service. This bug is that the user sees a 3G service they are paying for when in fact they are getting 2G. That might be good for operator PR, but it is bad for ubuntu phone's credibility.

The current indicator-network code uses the ofono's NetworkRegistration interface's "Technology" property to determine which mobile data connection icon to display on the status bar. The code currently compares the value of "Technology" to: - "gsm" -- this causes "2G" ( or a tortoise ) to be displayed - "umts" -- this causes "3G" to be displayed - "edge" -- this causes "E" to be displayed - "hspa" -- this causes "H" to be displayed - "lte" -- valid, but currently not supported in the ofono/rilmodem driver ( LTE isn't yet 100% supported ) The code instead should be examining ofono's ConnectionManager interface's "Bearer" property. This is not currently being set by the ofono/rilmodem code ( see bug #1245954 for more details ). The valid values of the "Bearer" property ( with associated icons in parentheses ) are: "none", "gprs" ( 2G ), "edge" ( E ), "umts" ( 3G ), "hsupa"/"hsdpa"/"hspa" ( H ), and "lte" ( L ). oFono doesn't currently support reporting HSPA+, whereas RIL does, so if have the need for differentiating between HSPA and HSPA+, then we'll need to patch ofono so that the value "hspap" is valid for "Bearer". - To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1245951/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
