no signal area still can send message and show Alert message “sending : message”

[regina_kim]

kernel : 20080621-asu.stable-uImage.bin
rootfs : 20080623-asu.stable-rootfs.jffs2

summary : no signal area still can send message and show Alert message “sending : message”

step :

1. no signal area
2. try to send message

current result : no sending fail messages and no saved outbox

expected result : it should sent fail then saved Outbox

I'm assuming this has to do with how the icon gadgets are implemented?
Also, I'm not sure but I think I have sent messages or continued phone calls when my phone showed no signal before.
Raster, what do you think? Worth looking in to?

remember it may just be rounding down to "1 bar" 1 bar == minimal signal it will show (the 1 bar with the little asterisk on top of it). as we have only 4 bars, 4 == 75->100, 3 == 50-75, 2 == 25-50, 1 == 0-25, so you could have 10% signal and its enough to send messages. i am unsure this is a bug? at least not in illume. qpe bug if anything. did the sms actually succeed in being sent?

Tested with the image below:

Kernel ： 20080621-asu.stable-uImage.bin
Root file system ：20080701-asu.stable-rootfs.jffs2

test place:openmoko building 4F shield room

current result:
1) show Alert message “sending : message” without warning message
2) system save the message to "Outbox" at first, close "Messages" and open again the message will be saved into "Draft"

what are we trying to 'FIX' here?
If you can send a message when you thought you had no signal, isn't that a good thing??
either fix it right away, or don't waste time on it at all.
just my 2c

Judging from

current result : no sending fail messages and no saved outbox
expected result : it should sent fail then saved Outbox

the sending failed, and the message contents got lost, which is a double bug :p
but I guess the reporter should clarify.
