Need status bar to show which WiFi signal is being used. How to do? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Need status bar to show which WiFi signal is being used. How to do? My old Note3 always had the WiFi signal name up there.
I have installed Material Status Bar but it seems useless.
And yes I know that if I long press on the Wi-Fi icon I will get a list of WiFi signalsand it will tell me what I'm connected to. That takes too long. I want to see it ON the status bar.

the name of wifi is under wifi icon when poll-down the status bar.
and that thing on note3 is for old software and u cannot do it with an app or system setting.
there should be a mod to modify systemUI and u need root access for that
anyway, you can test network apps like Fing or similar apps.
some of these apps create additional information inside a notification for users.
:good:

The name of the Wi-Fi signal does NOT show under the status bar icon. The screenshot fails to show the status bar so you'll have to just believe me. I would I would not have posted if that had been the case.

Okay now I see it problem solved. Have to pull down twice on the status bar

[REG] Status Pull down wifi, BT, Network, GPS Toggles

Would it be possible to get WIFI, GPS, BT, and maybe Network Toggles built into the pull down status bar? Like the galaxy S has.
you could try bar control or bar tender from the market, they allow you to add things like this to your status bar. They both take up room up top though, even if you can't see them.
Yeah I tried those but they took up to much space as they were vertically. I found one app in the market that basically put the power control bar in the status pull down but the app was really poorly written.
Would love to see if somebody could whip this up.
Thanks

Data connection status in status bar

I love the new transparent status and navigation bars, and I like the new signal bar and battery colors, but now I can't see if my connection is up (pinging Google) or not.
The traffic arrows have been moved to the notification drawer widgets, so you can't tell if data is passing just by looking at the status bar. It's no biggie, but while trying to troubleshoot why Spotify wasn't showing album art or avatars (FYI, it's a bug), I realized I couldn't tell if my data was working.
I'm sure this can be fixed eventually with some tweaks, but this made me realize how much I rely on this on my day to day

Thumbed up. I was searching for this, it's a must use when you switch from home to work, and you need a fast way to enable data on phone.

Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?
