823903 - B2G RIL doesn't report the "searching" state

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 866619

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: RIL, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

In Bug 817660 I implemented the work to correctly display the icons depending on the state of the voice connection.

However it seems that the RIL doesn't report the 'searching' state so I can't display the 'searching' animated icon.

Nominating because I suspect that this might be a certification problem (tbc).

STR:
* patch your gecko with this patch
* flash the phone
* have a SIM in the phone
* watch your log as you boot the phone, enter your PIN, enable flight mode, disable flight mode, etc

Expected:
* we get the 'searching' state

Actual:
* we never get the 'searching' state

Swu will discuss this with Vicamo to see if we have any comments.

AFAIK, the state string comes directly from AT+CREG <stat> index. If the underlying rild never reports such state, then we won't have it in Gecko. Android has only IN-SERVICE or OUT-SERVICE, no SEARCHING.

So I guess we must find another way to display the "searching" icon. Will think of that but if we have an idea please tell ;)

"if *you* have", sorry.

Julien, why does this have to block?

Comment 8

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

Doug: because of this, we don't display the "searching network" icon (as defined in Bug 817660). It's not clear for me if this is mandatory for the certification, but the more I think about it, the more I think I could probably live without this.

So maybe this should not block.

Verified that Android does not display the searching state so this is probably not a certification requirement.
