IMHO indicator-network should not accommodate for a specific technology, but instead the abstraction should be done as close to the HW as possible and therefore the natural place for that would be inside ofono modem driver.
Ofono is the abstractor of different modem HW and that abstraction also has to take care of dealing with modems reporting their signal strengths in arbitrary ways. Right now the only way of getting the signal strength from ofono API is the Strength property and that has been specified to be a percentage from 0 to 100 and indeed it's up to the particular modem driver to provide mapping of that percentage. We have 5 different signal strength icons available so from indicator- network POV we split the percentage to 5 even ranges independently of specific modem technology: >= 80% -> 4 bars >= 60% -> 3 bars >= 40% -> 2 bars >= 20% -> 1 bar < 20% -> 0 bars ** Branch linked: lp:~rsalveti/indicator-network/change-signal-strength- thresholds-android -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1329945 Title: WWAN signal strength is reported lower than android in same location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1329945/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
