I am often unsure if the phone is connected via Wifi or 3G/4G. For me the UI for displaying connections could be clearer.
E.G. replace "3G" by the WIFI logo if internet connection is via WIFI.

Maybe I was unclear.
If your network connection is provided by WLAN, you see the "standard" piece of pie symbol with signal strength indicator: https://jolla.com/guide/icon/icon-status-wlan-3.png
If your network connection is provided by cellular network, you see the up/down symbol that shows data transfer direction: https://jolla.com/guide/icon/icon-status-data-download.png
If you have both wlan and mobile data disabled, then there is no symbol in that location.
I think Android works in a similar way; mobile data is shown by updown arrows and if wlan is used it replaces the mobile data symbol with the signal strength pie.
You can find more accurate symbols and explanations from: https://jolla.com/guide/
Ok, now I understand. Thank you for your explanation. But to be honest, for me, this is not self explaining.

Normally the icon visible on the lock screen and during peeking should indicate this: if it shows a Wi-Fi icon, it's connected to Wi-Fi, if it shows two arrows pointing up and down, it's connected to the mobile network (or busy connecting).

hongakonga ( 2015-01-09 20:34:30 +0300 )editIf you are connected with WIFI, then there's that wifi symbol. If you are connected through cellular network, WIFI symbol is replaced with up/down arrows. How is that confusing?

foss4ever ( 2015-01-10 13:51:27 +0300 )editAfter switching Wifi off and on I get now the arrows you were talking about. Obviously there is a bug.
But to be honest, I don't find them more intuitive. They are not really similare to the typical WiFi symbol.
