The screen was not responding to any touch event After a while the screen went black and the phone was successfully updated Expected results: After the user confirms to update the SW, a message shall be shown that informs the user that the SW has started and asks the user to wait. This is important for users. System updates are scary and uncommon. A confirmation that all is well is needed.

Definitely doesn't sound like desired behaviour for such a critical use case. Flagging QA to verify the behaviour and whether this is a regression and Jacqueline to update any ux flows if required.

Gregor, does this live in the System app? Is it covered by SysFE or Tim's team?

I agree that this is not the ideal flow. Since we missed the string cut off date, I think it would be best to add a loading or processing screen when the update is in progress to show that the user cannot interact with the device.
Flags: needinfo?(jsavory)
We'll need visual for this. We could re-use an existing string (I'm thinking "System update" works) and have a simple loading icon above it. Note: we can't use an animation since the screen freezes during this process. Jacqueline, who is the point person for providing a visual spec here?
Flags: needinfo?(jsavory)
The "System update" suggestion sounds good to me, thanks Michael! I believe the visual designer for this would be Eric, so ni? on Eric to provide the needed screen. Eric - Feel free to reassign if someone else should be covering this.

Hey Michael, I'm thinking we stick to the building blocks and do something like this (without the cancel button): http://buildingfirefoxos.com/building-blocks/progress-and-activity.html#progress-modal-spinner Though..if the icon doesn't move the user will most likely think the phone has crashed. Because of the string freeze I guess we can't really add anything that lets the user know they need to wait?
Flags: needinfo?(mhenretty)
Flags: needinfo?(jsavory)
Flags: needinfo?(epang)
It would be much easier if we don't have to add any strings, but I think it's still doable if absolutely necessary. What about using that building block and having it say "System update" and putting an exclamation icon instead of the loading icon?
Flags: needinfo?(mhenretty)
I'm worried that an exclamation mark might look like an error or that something went wrong... But I do agree we should use the Building blocks. I think using the text 'System Update' works as long as the icon can display that something is happening. If not, we could use a word like 'Loading' or 'Processing' to help explain that an action is taking place. Eric do you have any other suggestions for the icon and text?
Flags: needinfo?(jsavory) → needinfo?(epang)
Just a word of caution with regards to re-use of text strings. How is "System Update" previously used? Some languages will phrase "system update" differently dependent on context. E.g. if it is an ongoing action, an action that will happen or something that has happened.

What if we did something in the style of the FM Radio overlay (that tells you to plug in headphones)? See attached screen, if you think this can work I can get the icon ready in the right sizes. Also, if possible we can have 'System Update' on the first line and something that lets the user know they have to wait on the second. We'll also have to take into account Olaf's comment about how it's used.

If we can't update the strings I can always make a smaller version of the above icon and we can replace the the spinner with it and use the building blocks http://buildingfirefoxos.com/building-blocks/progress-and-activity.html#progress-modal-spinner

It's used as the title for system update related dialogs. If we use it similarly (ie. as a dialog title), I think we should be ok.
Flags: needinfo?(mhenretty)
I think this sounds good as well, system update as the text and the above icon as the loading icon.

I'm not able to receive OTA updates. Is that a known issue? Can somebody help me with that otherwise?
(In reply to Alberto Pastor [:albertopq] from comment #21) > I'm not able to receive OTA updates. Is that a known issue? Can somebody > help me with that otherwise? People have been having some issues with FOTA updates on the mailing list. Do you flash pvt builds? You might try flashing a build a couple of days old, and see if the update prompt shows up. Also, here is a wiki on building/hosting FOTA updates yourself [1]. In any case, we can take this conversation offline. Let's talk tomorrow. 1.) https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Updating
Hey Michael, thanks for your comments. I think my issue is related to Bug 1063237, as I'm building KK images. I'll try with JB and let's see if it helps. Thanks!

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: After the user confirms to update the SW, a message shall be shown that informs the user that the SW has started and asks the user to wait. This is important for users. System updates are scary and uncommon. A confirmation that all is well is needed.

This is not a blocker the release as this has been working this way all along..Please note that the risk this may add to the release is significant, and I only want to consider an uplift if the solution is going stick on trunk and we can manage the risk. Systemsfe is currently going to focus on burning down blockers, and will try to accommodate this ad-hoc request given depending on the bandwidth and keeping the "partner" consideration in mind here. If we are able to fix this in a low risk way without fallouts, we'll uplift it, the timeline for this could get beyond FC date though and fully depends on the "risk" here. Gregor , feel free to add anything I've missed per offline discussion with you..I've communicated this to Jaime as well.

I think the ideal solution here is to create some kind of "fake update server" running in node.js. Your test could then go through the full flow of downloading and installing the update. We would then also probably need to intercept the update-prompt-apply-result event. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/components/UpdatePrompt.js#450 It's probably a *lot* of work to get something like this working, but I think it could provide a lot of value. I imagine that the fake update server would work a lot like the fake app server does in the vertical home screen.
Flags: needinfo?(kgrandon)
I tested this by just manually calling the acceptInstall method on the system update object. Will attach a screenshot. I'm not flagging this for review yet, as we could do with some kind of marionette test for this (I think a unit test is of limited use, but I could certainly add one). If this is super-urgent, we could apply this patch to 2.1 without the tests I suppose, if someone is able to verify manually that it works ok.

Comment on attachment 8504590 [details] Show a splash screen before initiating a system update Added a very basic marionette test. Note, I think we could do with a suite of system-update marionette tests (as there don't currently appear to be any?), as kgrandon alludes to, but I think that's a separate bug to this one.

Now that this is in master, adding qawanted to test that it works as expected (i.e. doing a system update that would formerly cause the phone screen to hang now shows this splash-screen instead). I don't know if a tako device is required to test this or not.
