Network Type Indicator (Android App)
Details and download
Check its Google Play Store page.
Compatibility
Android 2.2 or higher, with phone functionality.
Not extensively tested in different phones.
Description
Network Type Indicator is a status bar icon indicator of the type of mobile network in use (i.e. 2G, 2G+, 3G, …).
This app is meant for devices that don't include this information in the status bar by default (e.g. Xperias).
Source
Source code is not public for now.
Known Issues
- Cyanogenmod and DC-HSPA
- Dual carrier HSPA can't be detected with the standard Android API, however it can on Cyanogenmod. The current version of Network Type Indicator doesn't understand the value used on CM, so it is reported as "unknown". Support for it will be added in an upcoming update.
I'm studying other issues.
