(without addressing your main point)
On Android I've used a little app which overlays real-time network
traffic info on the screen as e.g. "D: 664KB/s U: 11KB/s". I have it
always on and positioned just below the top bar, but that's
configurable.
Here's a screenshot:- http://imgur.com/6VRx1j4
It's totally an expert nerdy option, but it would be quite nice to be
able to do overlays like this, so they could be app-installed, not
necessarily baked in.
