I turned on both wifi and data, and both icon shown in status bar, and the arrows from both icon also turned on sometimes. Is this a bug? Does it affect the battery life of my phone?
Happens to me also.

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.

As it is now, the colors of the wifi/mobile signal bars are white (in the status bar), and if you want to check to see if you're receiving data for either wifi/mobile you have to swipe down and go into quick settings. If you're not receiving data, it will be orange.
Is there a way for the signal bars in the status bar to also show orange? Or another color letting you know instantly you're not receiving data for either wifi or mobile?
The reason I ask is because last night my internet went down for a couple hours. The wireless router was on, thus showing full white bars for wifi in the status bar, even though I was actually not receiving internet. It was only after not receiving any notifications for awhile (including texts because when the wifi/mobile data are on at the same time both go down) when I swiped down into quick settings and noticed full reception for both wifi/mobile but both were orange.
It would have been nice to know immediately via the status bar with a change in signal color from white to orange. Is there something I'm missing? Is it possible to change?
Cheers!

Only way to change colors is themes from theme chooser, xposed modules, etc with root. Normally, no, not on stock unless you do the root. Signal status in status bar is feature of some ROMs as well if you flash but beyond that, no.
At night, I turn off the wifi but my battery stats show that the WiFi is always ON.
As you can see in the image the part where I've circled .. That is the time I turned off the WiFi .
The WiFi turns off but only in the stats it shows its ON.
What can I do to fix this issue ?
Are you sure that a red bar means it's on? Your mobile network must be on right, and that bar is green and all.
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

I have a question about my one+7pro. it is an icon next to signal bar I don't know what it is and where I can turn it off. It is there since I bought the item. I could not turn it off this icon look like a native app I will left the picture
