830597 - Update notification for an app (e.g. Maps, in my case) over cell connection warns me that it "will block incoming calls" -- pretty sure that's incorrect...?

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Be running an outdated version of some app, so that you've got an app update available.
    (not sure how to get in that state, but I'm in it right now)
 2. Ensure WiFi is disabled, and you've got a SIM with a data plan.
 3. Pull down status menu, and tap the "1 update available"

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 An app-update notification appears, saying
> 1 Update Available
> Maps               [x]  (or whatever app you've got updates for)
>
> Wi-Fi unavailable. Updating over current
> connection will block incoming calls,
> and may incur additional charges.

I'm pretty sure that statement about "will block incoming calls" is incorrect, right?  Do updates to individual apps really block incoming calls?  Please tell me they don't. :)

This is the case for many EDGE networks, especially in v1 target markets.  It may not be the case for your US carrier.

Perhaps we should change "will block" to "may block" then?

Current r+ patch for bug 830286 does not change this text. It adds a new text and add some logic.

This but is another bug so let's keep it opened please.

Daniel> I think that while in 2G (GPRS/Edge) the calls are blocked; in 3G (UMTS/HSDPA/etc) they are not.

We can know this with |navigator.mozMobileConnection.data.type| [1] so we may change the text depending on the connection type. Yet for v1 a small text change ("may" instead of "will") might be enough.

We do.

ok so it's worksforme then.

I've just checked that when I'm on 3G I don't have the same text, as etienne's saying.
