Samsung just dropped a One UI 9-compatible QuickStar update, which revives the Network Speed Indicator for Galaxy’s Status bar. That’s a massive upgrade for Galaxy smartphone users who have been waiting for years.

A network speed indicator in Status bar keeps users updated with the network quality. This allows users to monitor the surfing/download speed in real-time. This is not just a visibility upgrade, but a tool that’s helpful in everyday usage.

Samsung brings Network Speed Indicator

Network speed is disabled by default in the QuickStar app. You need to switch the toggle on to add a network speed monitor to the Status bar. Once enabled, it will appear along with other icons at the right side of the Status bar.

We tested the feature on your Galaxy S26 Ultra running One UI 9 Beta. The indicator shows speed for both WiFi and mobile data connections. Based on speed, the indicator should alter the unit across KB/s, MB/s, and GB/s.

The new feature has been reflected in the QuickStar app’s 11.0.03.15 version. The APK file of the app has been provided by X user Kailash (thanks!).

Your Samsung phone will also receive the feature to add a native Network Speed Indicator to the Status bar. The current requirement is One UI 9, based on Android 17, which is presently available in Beta for the Galaxy S26 series.

After the OS version, you will need to install Good Lock and its QuickStar plugin. A little bit of manual effort will let you optimize the Status bar. The newly added option in the “Indicator Icons” section is “Network speed.”
