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.

Android Studio / Gradle support the use of build “flavors” with different code, plus Android apps support versioned resources, so the two branches can be merged into a single one taking advantage of that.

It doesn’t make sense to load on boot if we won’t be displaying the notification.

This setting is shown regardless of version but it has no effect on older Androids since they don’t support notification actions.

Reported by Sarah Thomasson 15/08/2017 on Google Play:

“The new ‘4’ is missing the triangle in the body of the glyph 4 -.-”

See FS#356

Reported by Andrew 21/8/2017 over email

[...] on my HTC 10 running Marshmallow, it fails to startup on boot.

The updated version to return to the Play Store isn’t adapted to the new notification system

First suggested by pacibum

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

Some phones display it as DC.

Display signal strength in dbm/asu in the notification

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.
