Network Type Indicator

Submitted by Adjel

When roaming no network type is indicated.

Device: Nexus 5

NOTE: Not a bug report, misunderstanding on my part

Reported by David

The icon and main app can get out of sync on version 1.4

Probably related to FS#255.
1.4 used separate network listeners for notification and main app, with the main app always listening for signal strength changes (and notification doing so optionally).

Rare reports, not reproducible, but similar causes.

Affects new droids and old droids branches.

Has never been reported in the developer console.

Reported by Marcel Bokhorst

Starting with Lollipop notifications are shown in the lock screen expanded, and their
contents will be hidden if public visibility isn’t set explicitly.

First suggested by pacibum

Add an option to open mobile network settings instead of nettype when tapping on notification.

Add a possibility to change icons, possibly customise them with themes

Requested by Alex.

Please add support for DCHSPAP network, it displays as unknown.

I like it better when there's no option to open network setting and disable
notification at the status bar drawer

Useful app but New submenu ('Network' and 'Remove notification' buttons), right under
regular notification is not a thing I'd like to see everytime I open a notification area.
Mainly because it's useless at all and takes too much place.
There should be an option in the app that would allow not to show this submenu, I think.

Add as a configurable option

Lollipop’s new handling of ongoing notifications makes Nettype’s notification to stay on the lockscreen.

Brought up by Andrey Simakov and Theos Greg on Google Play.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.3
