Mobile data is shown Initializing status even though no mobile is available

Project Member Reported by jingwee@chromium.org, Feb 21 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: (copy from chrome://version)
OS: ChromeOS M65.0.3325.65 10323.30.0 beta candy

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Sign in on an enrolled device connected to WiFi and has no mobile option.
(2) Click on Uber tray and expand the Network tab.

What is the expected result?
Network tab is shown showing only a list of Wifi network. Mobile data should be hidden like in non-enrolled consumer device state.

What happens instead?
Mobile data section is shown with the switch is disabled and grayed out. Showing this section with the proper status might be fine but since M65, showing a "Initializing..." status is incorrect and confusing.

In M63.0.3239.140 10032.86.0 stable Speedy, the status is "No mobile network available".
In M64.0.3282.167 10176.72.0 stable daisy, no status is shown.
In M65.0.3325.65 10323.30.0 beta candy and M66.0.3344.0 10421.0.0 dev pit, the status is "Initializing".

Looks like an UI glitch adding some more labels for higher visibility and dskaram@ for priority assessment.

Can you show the Settings UI while in this state?
Does 'Initializing' eventually go away?

This sounds like it might be aTether issue?

Can you clarify what you mean by "enrolled" and "non-enrolled" devices? Does the Candy device have a cellular (LTE) modem?

Can you please navigate to chrome://proximity-auth and provide the logs there?

This still needs triage. I doubt it is enterprise enrolled per-se, I suspect that enterprise enrollment may be making Tether available but we need more info.

khorimoto@

Enrolled device = managed device under control by Enterprise device policies
Non-enrolled device = consumer device not managed by Enterprise device policies

None of the devices I mentioned have a cellular modem.

To avoid managed-user policies in the variables, I used a standard Gmail account to compare the behaviors of a managed (enrolled/Enterprise) device and an unmanaged (non-enrolled/consumer) device.  Both tests were run on the same device but at slight different time apart.

Please find the logs and screenshots in:

stevenjb@  the "Initializing" status stays indefinitely not going away.
Steven, I believe this is caused by your CL:

See my comment: "AFAIK, the UX designers do not want any Cellular initialization subtitle if Cellular is unavailable. Can you double-check with elizabethchiu@ and/or shibasheikh@?"

This is the only time that "Initializing" will ever be shown if State(Cellular) == TECHNOLOGY_UNAVAILABLE.

++ support case 17833496 where no physical modem is present on candy (only slot for modem closed with hex bit):

But have following in log:
"2018-12-18T13:23:29.066214-05:00 INFO ModemManager[1093]: <info>  Couldn't check support for device '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0': not supported by any plugin"

And cellular connection is always shown as "initializing".
