GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 766709
3G (WWAN) icon missing in network-manager-applet
Last modified: 2016-05-22 09:09:50 UTC
The bug has been reported on https://launchpad.net/bugs/1571574 "After establishing a 3G connection, the icon shown in system tray should be a 3G indicator to indicate that 3G is connected. However, in Xenial there is no 3G icon at all. After 3G connection is established, it remains as the previous icon displayed. (e.g. If no other connection was established before 3G connection was made, then the icon is a "hollow fan shape" after connecting to 3G. If wifi was connected before 3G connection was made, then the icon after 3G connection shows a wifi icon.)" The report is from 1.1.93 (but 1.2 seems to have the same issue) Screenshot showing the bug https://launchpadlibrarian.net/254414485/menu.png syslog has no icon warning and the issue is there when using adwaita as well, notifications about the connection being enabled have a correct icon though
