Could you please take a look of it, Evelyn? Thanks in advance.

On my device, it will show up after 3 sec. The problem here is: onstatuschange event is late on Helix. I suspect there is a porting issue.

HD+ing this as device specific. Thomas/Kaizhen please update your findings.

Thanks

inari also got the same behavior as helix. I think we need to make sure how the setting app gets the wifi status when it is lunched first.

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

I think this is only not a good UX, we shouldn't display "offline" as soon as the setting app is lunched. The wifi status should be displayed according to wifi status event.

If it's just a UI polish, I don't think it's a blocker. flag hd? to get attention.
Al, is there anything we lost?

Comment 7

[Al Tsai [:atsai]]

I agree it's not a blocker, but we still need the HD+ to land on v1.1.0hd. Unless it's acceptable for partners to cherry pick the fix into their repo.

Thanks for finding root cause.

Leave the bug to triage to see if we need to provide a patch for fixing it in v1.1.0hd.

How long does it take to have the UI reflecting the correct status currently? 3 second sounds a bit long to update some UI...
Are there chances that it doesnt get updated due to some glitch?

OK I just checked this on a device, the UX is not bad provided users cannot attempt to 're-connect' when the UI says Offline.
Upon entering the Wifi page, the connected status is visible.

yes, I think so. Things we can do here is just hiding "offline" string and leave it blank, which is already done on master.

per my comment 10, close it as won't fix on v1.1
