The reason I asked for data on battery consumption is that it's the first issue cited in the bug description. Either it's a real issue or it isn't. If it is, producing data on it should be easy. If it isn't, data usage isn't "another reason"; it is, at most, the only reason. And as with battery usage, requiring the human to know and remember to fiddle with a switch would be the least reliable way of solving it. For example, if Telegram continues sending phone notifications when you are actively using Telegram on a PC, that is a bug in the app. Have you reported it?
That people commonly do something, or Web sites commonly advise something, does not mean it's a good idea. For example, millions of people routinely quit all background apps on their phone, because it's easy to do, and they think it saves battery, but it actually wastes battery. Making bad things easy to do is bad design. -- 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/1373463 Title: [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I was wondering : Why it isn't possible to disable data from the network indicator ? Probably with a switch button that offer the choice between no data or data activated (with the last data activated state (2g only or 2G,3G,4G). Why this ? Because it's the first setting to change to save battery, and probably one of the most used (I asked around me, everyone agreed they would prefer that over Wi-Fi if only one was possible). I think it's stupid to go to the settings app for the most common action (and very frustrating). Of course, this also apply for the battery setting page (that already contain Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and brightness settings). I asked that on the phone ML, I've been invited to file a wishlist bug there to "help" designers with next iteration of network indicator. So here it is !
