Network speed meter - Automation.

There should be an option for automatically hiding the network speed meter when internet is turned off . Sometimes it shows data flow even though network is turned off, I know data can't flow if network is turned off. It's just I open chrome or any network related apps thinking data is turned on because of this leading to the those apps telling me to turn on internet. It's just bad user experience. @Anders_ASUS @CH_ASUS

While I understand what you mean insofar that there is no need for "Network speed" to be shown when the device is in Flight Mode or with Data turned off - but to take the reasoning an extra step in saying that "because you see network speed at 0 B/s - you think data is ON when it is not" is quite a fringe case.

Apps asking you to turn on data (when data is off) is not related to network speed being displayed in the status bar or not.

We've included this in our feature request although I believe this would hold a lower priority vs. many of the other items we've been given as feedback from all of you.

The main thing is network speed showing some bytes (e.g - 12.5b/s) when network is turned off making me think that network is already turned on, while opening an app that demands internet, so you see the issue I'm experiencing. Fixing this issue will solve some big annoyance. Thanks.

So this means also you have disabled the icons for Wifi and 4G data? Sure I can understand the confusion this could create if this was the case.

Yes, the 4G icon is enabled, still our eye would first catch the speed meter. Thanks.

This is a known issue with the API, so it is Google's fault.
