Network Type Indicator

Network Type Indicator is an Android App that places an status bar icon acording to the type of mobile network in use (e.g. 2G, 2G+, 3G, ...).

This app is meant for devices that may not include this information in the status bar by default (e.g. Xperia or Galaxy phones).

Great app but
This is a great app I really like it it would be nice if it could also display
the data traffic not only the network type, like having the H+ and the up/down
arrows showing the data traffic and this app would be awesome!

Only feasible if it won’t add unnecessary complexity.

This task depends on reports of such issue.

So far all reports are on Marshmallow:

Reported by Charles Kanegeni 20/02/2016 on Google Play

New issue Great app, have always used it. Just upgraded to marshmallow and now it won’t even start. What’s up with that? From Android 5 I had problems, plus doesn’t support dual Sim phones. This is the new direction, twin Sim phones. Please work it out.

Accurate readings, free, ads-free what more can I ask for! Hope you don’t mind, I modified it and replaced the status bar icons :) Kindly add history of network type used like what my other apps that I am using (2g, 3g ,4g, lte network monitor by Sun Light) for me to get rid of it because of it’s unlimited ads and slow loading. Thank you very much!

? Task Description

From feedback, by Martin Buch:

Would like an option to only display status bar icon when roaming. Its really only when roaming I need this information as the stock network type indication is replaced with an ‘R’ on my Nexus 6P (when roaming).

Many phones seem to do that.
