Reconsider error message wording when still scanning for a host |
||||||||
Issue descriptionSee this thread for the feedback from a dogfooder: https://groups.google.com/a/google.com/d/topic/better-together-dev/QErFHBDaf-E/discussion Specifically, this bug is referring to the following point: """ 3. I turned off Instant tethering on the Slate, then turned it back on, and found myself looking at an error message "Turn on instant tethering on your other device." See this photo: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gqg8kckxiueafbuu5 Huh? I have not been instructed on any notion of turning on instant tethering on my Pixel 3. This message spontaneously disappeared after a moment, but wow is that confusing! Suggestion: reword or suppress this error message. """ I agree this message is too strongly worded as an error when we may just still be scanning for a nearby device. Jon Ann, can you take a stab at a tweak to this string to make it clear that a scan may still be in progress?

@jessejames,I'm not 100% sure what the correct messaging is here. Would it be something like "Looking for a mobile network?"

The old string included a link to the "learn more" URL for Instant Tethering. Should we consider showing the same link with the new string as well? This is the only place within Chrome OS that we link to the Instant Tethering Help Center article, so it may be confusing to users if we remove the link entirely. jonann@, what do you think?

Yes, pls include the learn more link. Thanks!

Just clarified with Jon Ann - the final string will be: "Looking for a mobile network. Learn more" with the "Learn more" section being a link.

The previous message was too strongly worded, since it implied taht other devices did not have Instant Tethering enabled. This new string was suggested by jonann@.
