I think the only thing we're missing currently, is the ability to distinguish between generic HSPA and HSPA+, as mentioned in the bug description.
The code to fix this bug #1245954 is currently in our upstream ofono git repository, and will be landing in the archive shortly. That said, I did *not* modify the code to address the HSPA/HSPA+ issue. If this is thought to be important, it can be fixed, but as mentioned, it will require changes to the core ofono code ( ie. it can't be accomplished via changes to our rilmodem plugin alone ). Regarding a chart that shows various connection speeds, unfortunately I don't have anything to point you at. The specifics aren't all that meaningful to end-users other than the fact that: GSM < EDGE < UMTS < HSPA < HSPA+ < LTE ** Description changed: Image: Touch #100 ( aka v1.0 ). 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" to be displayed + - "gsm" -- this causes "2G" ( or a tortoise ) to be displayed - "umts" -- this causes "3G" to be displayed - - "edge" -- this is invalid ( never set by ofono ) + - "edge" -- this causes "E" to be displayed - - "hspa" -- this is invalid ( never set by ofono ) + - "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". - -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245951 Title: Wrong oFono property used for data technology indication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-network/+bug/1245951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
