Closed n-ce closed 1 year ago

n-ce commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Its an extra fuss to slide over to the notification panel and look at the data usage there.

Describe the solution you'd like Showing data usage directly in status bar like network speed indicator.

Describe alternatives you've considered Did not find any other alternatives other than compromising on my ux.

Additional context NaN

Showing the data usage as an icon would require a lot more drawables and will end up increasing the size of the app. Which can be avoided by just one extra swipe to the home screen or notification bar.

Could you tell me why this is not the case with speed indicator?

itsdrnoob commented 1 year ago

This is exactly the case with the speed indicator. To do the same with data usage, it would need a lot more icons. Let's say a user consumed 5.7 GB of data, to show the usage as an icon, it would require icons upto 5.7 GB (at least).

I had a feeling implementing this would have limitations given none of the data monitor apps has done this yet. I have some ideas about how to do this that i would like to discuss in length. Is this the appropriate place?
