Roaming isn’t something that those of us who live in more populated areas encounter often, but it can be a common occurrence for people in more rural or less-developed places. Android has always been pretty terrible at showing what kind of data connection you’re roaming on in the status bar; thankfully, the latest 7.1.2 Nougat beta has brought this much-needed, yet simple update to this indicator.
Previously, it was impossible to see what type of data connection (LTE, H, 3G, E, etc.) you were on if you were roaming, as the ‘R’ indicator would take those indicators’ place above the signal bars.
Android 7.1.2 beta 2 separates the ‘R’ roaming indicator from your data connection, allowing you to see what type of connection you’re on was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
