settings > system > WLAN > [pulley menu] > connect to internet
i end up doing this very often. (i dont know if this is a redundant step instead of waiting for it to connect automatically)
so can this be made available as a favoritable shortcut?

Whilst you can't add the pulley menu to the favorites you can add the WLAN entry to the favorites and get rid of one step, leaving Settings > WLAN > Pulley.

Update 6 has the ability to add custom items the pulley menu. Therefore you could add this action if needed.

I believe, this is superfluous: Just tap the WiFi/WLAN symbol on Settings and it will connect.
jgr ( 2014-05-20 12:10:39 +0300 )editThat is not always the case. I often find myself doing this procedure when switching from 3G to wlan and vice versa. This happens in places where reception is a bit spotty.
Still, a shortcut shouldn't be needed. The phone should just connect automatically, and instantly.
I have a similar issue with Bluetooth in the car. I have to connect the device manually to the car, even if it is set to autoconnect.

At work, I have to move around between different networks. On Maemo there was an option to set the wlan 'search interval'. I agree a separate shortcut is a bit superflous; so if the same network selection dialog popped while pressing the wifi toggle button itself, that would work too.
User ( 2014-05-20 23:40:25 +0300 )editI see the same problem. See here:

But actually I think the notification area would be great to display the Internet connection status and could also allow direct access to the settings.
