I just added a comment to a bug#1589703 and thought it might be helpfull also in a network indicator case:
"What I noticed in two cases (valid also for a bug#1560373) is that the notification area doesn't update its status. It shows the alarm clock icon or network icon with no connection only as long as we do not drop notification area down. Always when I pull it down, the network icon updates and false alarm clock disappears. Seems like a whole notification area falls asleep and takes its status from an unknown point in time". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1560373 Title: network indicator shows no connection but browser works Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using nexus 4, wifi is disabled /bearer# system-image-cli -i current build number: 391 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/ubuntu last update: 2016-03-16 13:49:10 version version: 391 version ubuntu: 20160316 version device: 20160315 version custom: 20160316 The network indicator shows no connection. route -n says rmnet_usb1 is default. nmcli c says ril_0 context2 is connected, and browser works ~# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.65.67.101 0.0.0.0 UG 600 0 0 rmnet_usb1 10.65.67.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 600 0 0 rmnet_usb1 ~# nmcli c NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE /505025500612657/context2 e1a9ae5f-e7f7-cc00-54ed-cb6806086620 gsm ril_0 /505025500612657/context1 c56a0ac7-b8b6-8d66-7e7f-6da831c64ea8 gsm -- llkcr2 bc7eb95d-1ff0-4f64-b6ea-f63084914945 802-11-wireless -- BIGPOND1DE4 bfcaf5ac-262e-4c7d-9998-d421022aef18 802-11-wireless -- TV 1 ea55c5bd-9156-4283-aade-2b615a352f1a 802-11-wireless -- TV 824802a9-9492-44dd-bc8c-01e0b34f8abc 802-11-wireless -- llkcr 96382cce-f023-434f-97ee-b1b6c4103b20 802-11-wireless -- OPTUSDN1E578A 69e23365-40a4-4c7b-a999-7d568fb5d9f5 802-11-wireless -- Telstra1708 f6d10847-fa02-4a49-9644-89f9f9d3e935 802-11-wireless -- ~# nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION ril_0 gsm connected /505025500612657/context2 wlan0 wifi unavailable -- dummy0 dummy unmanaged -- rev_rmnet0 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet1 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet2 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet3 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet4 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet5 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet6 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet7 ethernet unmanaged -- rev_rmnet8 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet0 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet1 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet2 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet3 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet4 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet5 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet6 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet7 ethernet unmanaged -- rmnet_smux0 ethernet unmanaged -- lo loopback unmanaged -- sit0 unknown unmanaged -- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1560373/+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
