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).

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

1.6 Task Description

Theming support as initially intended ( FS#237 ) is not possible.

With the switch to vector graphics adding alternative icons becomes fairly “cheap” app-size-wise and many users have requested alternative ones. This task tracks these suggestions.

  • Jon Manilenio 29/04/2016 on Google Play
    Nice I wish there were more designs though.

  • Miles Vino 23/04/2017 on Google Play
    Appreciate this handy app! Please consider a simpler icon, without the square, so it blends with Google’s material design. Thanks!

  • MJ Cortez 02/06/2017 on Google Play
    4G should be displayed as LTE instead of [4]

  • Prince Priyam Borah 08/08/2017 on Google Play
    Plz add the stylish 4G logo. Your app only shows 4. Else, everything is ok.

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!

1.6 Task Description

Take advantage of Nougat style notifications to display more information to the user.

See https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html

Possible design elements:

  1. “App icon”: Network type? AFAICT setting it to the actual app will replace the status bar icon.
  2. Header text: Provider
  3. Timestamp: Time of the last update
  4. Large icon: Network type, bigger?
