Bug Description
Testing image #u122 this morning, I ran into two separate scenarios where the panel network icon didn't always accurately reflect the current network technology due to some kind of latency detecting network changes ( ie. WiFi -> 3G -> WiFi ).
Both scenarios were reproduced on mako.
Scenario 1:
3G: online
WiFi: enabled; connected to AP 1
- display network menu
- tap another secure network
- tap cancel when Password dialog is displayed
At this point the indicator shows '3G' whereas the network menu still shows the original AP 1 as connected. After some period of time ( 10s - 1m ), the icon will change back to show that WiFi is connected.
Scenario 2:
3G: online
WiFi: connected to AP 1
- go to System Settings::WiFi
- click "Previous Networks"
- select the currently connected AP/network
- click Forget Network
- go back to WiFi settings
The WiFi settings correctly shows the AP is no longer connected, however again the network icon takes some time ( 10s - 1m ) to reflect the change back to "3G".

Note, this also occurs when toggling the device in and out of FlightMode. There are certain cases where the icon gets stuck displaying the Wi-Fi disconnected icon, and then never updates to 3G when FlightMode is disabled.
