874796 - [CBS] [User Story] Enable/Disable Cell Broadcast

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Wilfred Mathanaraj [:WDM]]

As a user I want to be able to easily switch on/off the cell broadcast option so I can control the information received on my device.

Comment 1

[Vicamo Yang [:vicamo][:vyang]]

As discussed on phone, even the user disables CBS, we still has to keep it enabled for some emergency channels, right?

Comment 2

[Wilfred Mathanaraj [:WDM]]

Correct. Any Channel that is identified as an emergency broadcast channel must remain enabled.

Comment 3

[Stephany Wilkes]

Adding Rob, who is handling the UI side of this effort for the UX team. Note that the user should not be able to disable to emergency channel.

I've posted the Cell Broadcast spec to the meta bug - Bug 848372 - [META] Full Cell Broadcast implementation. Please flag me with any feedback or questions.

The spec and related content is also stored on Mozilla's box.com site. Go to https://mozilla.box.com/system and click on the Cell Broadcast folder.

"As a user I want to be able to easily switch on/off the cell broadcast option so I can control the information received on my device." is this an IOT requirement, or a desirable UI feature? We are way past feature freeze and past CS. If this is not an IOT blocker, we need to know that so we can postpone this. I really need some feedback from product here. We are running out of time.

We're confirming with partner QA to see if this is a showstopper. Feedback from the partner has been that it's expected, but it's a very late requirement. We don't expect an answer until tomorrow, as there is a stat holiday for the partner today. Will update asap.

If we must do this, we can probably cover this, but I would prefer not to. I will set leo? for now to track this.

As per last discussion with Operator:

it is mandatory to have an option for the user to be able to enable/disable the cell broadcast option.  (MTR 2014V1: MTR-30319, MTR-30320)

All channels - emergency and non-emergency channels should be switched on/off with this single option as per agreement with Operator.

The default setting for this option should be ON (MTR 2014V1: MTR-25400 and in accordance with ISD 5.60)

Attachment: Pointer to GH

In testing this currently doesnt set the correct default value (which gets read as null on initial read)

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

Can this be landed now?

I think the value in build/settings.py is ignored because it is defined in Gecko (/b2g/app/b2g.js).

UX-wise, I’m not sure the current implementation in the Settings app is straight-forward: the “Cell broadcast service” switch will be ON when the `ril.cellbroadcast.disabled' setting is true.

Merging nonetheless, but requesting some UX love for this in case we have to open a follow-up.

Verified it is fixed on Leo device, the future "Cell Broadcast Service" switch ON/OFF is implemented, in the "Settings"-"Call Settings"
