I don't think that a warning dialog is really needed. The real issue is that if a data (cell) connection is available, MMA should be able to use it (i.e. if no nework connection is available, automatically attempt to use an existing cell data connection). But according to ticket 5233, MMA 2 shows 'No Connection' whenever a connection over WiFi fails--it doesn't even attempt to connect over the cellular network despite a connection being available.

No connection status is tied to WIFi MMA never checked for Cellular connection
I was more thinking on Wording eg. "No LAN/WLAN Connection" as a warning because if user utilize Mobile carrier network No connection state is incorrect.

Yeah, the warning needs to be appropriate--showing the current status should reflect whether _any_ connection is available. I'd use less technical terminology though. e.g.
- if Wi-Fi / ethernet connection is available, MM can show [Wifi icon] 'Network available'
- if only a cell/data connection is available, MM can show [No Wifi icon] 'Cell connection only'
- if no connection is available [No Wifi icon] 'No connection!'

Note: Ticket 5360 suggests extending this idea further and switching automatically to the local connection if the WiFi connection times out.
The usecase makes sense (user uses DLNA at home and local content in his car), but ui/design needs to be thought out (it'd be confusing to UPnP only users if the node switched by itself). |
