Public bug reported: Using mako #87. Enable wifi on deivce. Go for a drive to a friend or relatives house where they have wifi. When you arrive, pull down the network indicator and try to find the access point.
What you should see is a small number of access points nearby, with the strongest signal ones being obvious. What actually happens is for some time you see every access point the phone saw along the journey between locations. See video:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQMLik-WH5o I would expect the number of access points listed to age/decay faster. I guess we haven't noticed this before on the desktop because people don't usually do what I did with a laptop/desktop.
