ok I have the Samsung aCCLAIM ROOTED. and I have LOOKED AND LOOKED forever on how to change the 6 or 7 signal bars to 4 total. And My EV to show 3G. How do I do this. I have Searched everywhere and yet to find a way.
Also How can I load a HTC or any other STOCK dialer besides the Original Android one

I have CM 7.1 stable. I had this problem before with stock 2.2 and 2.3
Phone will just lose connection in an area with known good signal - I'm in NYC.
Sometimes my bars and the 3G/H icon go white instead of green, sometimes the 3G/H icon disappears along with the "AT&T" on the lock screen, while I still have 4 bars (although white).
In either situation, I miss calls and texts, and can't dial out, can't dial voicemail.
I'll turn on / off airplane mode which sometimes works, other times I have to reboot.
I returned my first captivate some time ago and got a newer one. I was also given a new SIM card.
Is there any solution to this? Are there any ROMs which are known to address this problem?

I'm not the most Android savvy person, but this sounds like a modem issue. You can refer to this map and pick the model that best suits your area.

Eh, the site / map you suggested recommends the JL3 or JK4 - I am using JL3 so I am a bit doubtful on this as a solution.
Anyone else?
Before I take the time to wipe my phone and load the stock odin image on it, I wanted to check with other AT&T Note 3 users...
Are your signal bars (wifi or mobile) blue?
I know that in the past, blue bars are supposed to mean that you are communicating with the Google servers, but in my case, everything is working fine (sync, voice, email, etc.) but my signal bars are white/grey, so I was wanting to make sure if they were still supposed to be blue, or was this something new AT&T is doing for the Note 3.
I have NOT rooted or anything else. Phone is completely stock. The bars just never went blue during/after setup of the phone out of the box. I've tried with wifi off also, and have great signals. My LTE speeds are awesome. And like I said, everything seems to be working as it should, except for the blue signal bars showing up.
Yes, I have rebooted...airplane mode...different cities...etc. Still white bars.
If someone confirms that the bars should still be blue with the Note 3, then I am just going to wipe the phone and start over from scratch and see what happens when I setup the phone again.
Thanks.

I've had the S3, S4, and now Note 3 and all of the mobile signal bars have been white. The WiFi signal bars are white, but I have the in/out data indicators turned off, so I cannot comment on what color they are.

Thanks for the reply. That is interesting. My previous phones, and two other current ones being used in the family are all blue signal bars as soon as they connect to the Google Servers, so that is kind of what I was expecting to see happen on the Note 3.
I wish this one was showed blue. It lets me know that I have a good connection with Google, mainly just out of habit of expecting it now.
Does anyone know of an app that will show you the Google server connection status with a widget, in place of the blue signal bars?
My T-Mobile speeds are pretty good. According to speed test pointing to the same server my speeds for the last few months were
4g (non-lte) up to 15 down, up to 5 up
LTE 35-50 down, 20-25 up
Yesterday I had issues with LTE, it was around 5 down. I thought too many people must have gotten T-Mobile in my area
Then I tested it again at night, same deal. I switched to 4g hspa (GSM\WCDMA Auto) and my download was crazy fast, up to 25mbps, while up was still under 5. Then I tried switching back to LTE (GSM\WCDMA\LTE Auto), but the icon wouldn't change to LTE. My samsung sitting a few inches away was showing LTE, but I didn't test samsung because it has used all high speed data. I rebooted the phone, still showed 4G, not LTE. Then I pulled the sim out of HTC One and put it in Nexus 5 - Nexus showed LTE right away and tested at over 35mbps. Put back into HTC One - this time LTE showed up, but speeds were still less than 5. (I did all tests at exact same place, with the phones laying in the same spot on the desk). I called T-Mobile tech support - no help
Then I took HTC One closer to the window, and speed went up to 30. Put it back on the same spot on the desk and speeds are fine, over 30. Tested 4g hspa - under 15. Today, speeds are up to 50, while 4g hspa again under 15.
What's the deal? Did T-Mobile guy do something? Hardware issue with my HTC One?
To summarize:
1. When LTE on HTC One was very slow, HSPA was very fast and Nexus 5 LTE was very fast (I didn't not test Nexus hspa unfortunately)
2, When switching from LTE to 4g hspa, switching back didn't work. Rebooting didn't help either. Trying the same thing today - it works but takes a while. I noticed if I switch from 4g hspa to LTE and then switch wifi ON and then OFF, LTE comes back right away. But without toggling WIFI it takes over a minute.
3. One other interesting thing - when I place a call LTE switches to 4g. After you hang up it switches to LTE, BUT -
On HTC One - it switches right away!!
On Samsung - always takes a little time. maybe even over a minute
On Nexus 5 - sometimes a few seconds, other times up 5 minutes!!!!
Why HTC One is able to switch to LTE right away, while Nexus 5 may take up to 5 minutes? is there an easy way (via some program) to force Nexus and Samsung to switch right away?
Thanks.
P.S. Another issue with HTC One - wifi is much weaker when further away from the router. I'd get 5mbps where Nexus 5 and Samsung would get 15-20. I had same issue with my previous nexus 5 but my new nexus 5 seems to be much better on wifi now. I know it has a lot to do with the router and replacing the router may fix the issue, BUT from my experience phones that aren't ok with home router may not be OK with public wifi either. I tested the public wifi with my old nexus 5, it was 30-50% slower than samsung.
Hello
looking for a bit of help. i have a vodafone nexus 6 with a Three Sim in it (im in the UK) everything is working fine updated to 5.1 ok etc
in the City centre i have been getting lovely 4G speeds and my symbol has been showing signal bar with 4G above it. but today i see it says LTE and keeps flicking between the 2 LTE and 4G
what is the difference between the 2? i thought it was both the same thing?

Like the title says, I'm looking for a solution on the Nexus 6 to get rid of the useless signal bars and have signal strength in dbm. Sadly I can't seem to find any solutions for this.
AOKP stopped developing and they are the only mainstream rom that ever had signal strength in dbm and displayed the signal type as well.
Cyanogenmod had dbm in the past but it never displayed 2g, 3g, or LTE/4g so you never knew what you were on, and they dropped that in Lollipop anyway.
Xblast Tools had this feature, but it never seemed to work on any KitKat roms right, I know I had it on some roms working at some point, but whenever dbm went weaker than -115 dbm it would display 0 or some weird number depending on the rom, so it didn't really work so well.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions, at this point I think editing the systemui.apk might be my only option since no one seems to have anything developed, but I wouldn't even know where to begin there.
I don't suppose anyone is working on this as a feature for an xposed module? It's the one thing I've felt gravity box was really missing.
I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure cataclysm rom has it

You can install the SignalCheck Pro app. It shows dBm as well as cellular band in a small icon in the notifications bar.

Unfortunately Cataclysm on 6.0 on the Nexus 6 doesn't seem to. I checked a video that goes through settings and their thread and I think when I had a nexus 6 a bit over a month ago, I tried that one and it didn't have that feature. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I know but then I always have a notification, it displays this squished text, and I still have signal bars, plus I have no way of knowing if the app is draining battery running all the time checking the current signal strength. I really just want to replace the signal bars the way I was able to do in every version of android until kitkat/lollipop when the feature started to disappear.
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought pure nexus had something like that. It's listed as network traffic meter options on the OP thread
Have you tried this? Quick glance at the thread looks like mixed results, but some Nexus devices and someone said it works on MM. But perhaps it works?
Ditto
Started looking for the same today as the cell and wifi icons are terrible. I'd even be happy without the signal strength text and to just have some bars and get rid of that triangle. I came from a note 3 and it at least had bars in the triangle instead of a solid block with like 3 levels of fill for the strength.
