Well i found a fix for our problems with network icons! Hope Everyone enjoys it!.
Code:
Taskbar icons for our phones can have interesting effects. A few work, but most ether 1/2 work or fail miserably.
Currently i have only found 1 set of icons that work 100%
[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874] Dusk Taskbar [/url].
Currently i am using this taskbar
[url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626188] Dark Ninja's Android Taskbar[/url]
This one is working like 3/4% with only the only the signal bars not working(tho it doesn't look bad)
Has anyone determined why some work and others dont? I have very little experience with taskbar icons tho i plan to jump in soon...
Another taskbar now works 100% (minus bluetooth)
8/3/10 [Released] HTC Hero/Desire/Legend Taskbar For WM6.5/WM6.5.X W|VGA
idk how/why it works but i plan to find out .
Good job, it looks very clean. The only issue is that my BattClock doesnt match the multi-shade toolbar anymore
Change your theme then change it again and it will change the taskbar color.
I finally found a fix for our taskbar issues, cab in first post.
Sweet!
Great Job Jug6ernaut,
Mind if I add this one to Expo/IQ Tweaker?
fix for icons
finally a fix for the signal bars that would not change from stock white, one thing though, the signal strength will never show more than two bars, yet can open up the manager where you can turn bt, wifi etc on or off, and the signal strength is stronger than what the taskbar icon shows. example icon shows 1 or 2 bars where it should be showing 4 or 5 bars. do i need to change a registry value or what? any help much appreciated. thanks a lot.
3g sig
actually its just when the phone is showing 3g that the signal bars act wierd. it will show 2 bars when the signal should be 4 bars. when the strength actually is 5 bars it will show 4bars, never just 3bars. during a call the signal strength showing will be correct. any help?
Strange, mine seems about the same as the LG bars (IQ) but I’m almost always showing as being on “H” (HSPA+) and not “3G” (HSPA) so I’m not sure. With the taskbar I’m using, I did have to change one reg. setting for the battery as it was off by 1% (big deal) but that was it.
I'll play around with mine and see if I can replicate the problem.
signal
maybe im using the wrong fix, i have tried several taskbars, always no change to the stock white signal icon. then i used the fix above and the icons were all there, just the signal bars did not show the actual sig strength that say the comm manager showed. it was one and two bars like it should then the signal at 3 actual would still show only 2 and only 2 for an actual signal of 4 then when the signal hits 5 the bars will jump and show 4? while im on a call the signal strength is accurate. i do not know. it was hard to get the signal icon to change from stock and now the signal strength is not right. my phone is att pure wm6.5 stock rom etc.
Ahhhh…. This fix is specific to the LG Expo and IQ (I Think), that be part of your problem.

no it should work on all phones. All this fix does is take away a reg key that tells the system to use an alternate dll. His pure should be in same as our expo.
When i ahve time ill make up another cab 4 u to try.

I stand corrected
I have compared my signal strength bar to the one that shows on S2U2 and they both show the same signal strength (even on 3G).. so mine seems to confirm it's working correctly.

well this fix has nothing to do with the how many signal bars actually get shown, only which dll is being used to show them.
when i have time(i know same old story xD) ill go have a look at the stock dll and compare to the ones we are using. it is possible that the entries are different which would cause it to show the wrong ones. but i dont think so.
signal bars
fellows i cannot tell you how much i appreciate the effort, i figured the fix would be ok to use on my pure, just dont know why the correct bars will not show on taskbar icon. as i said when on a call the correct number of bars show on icon and comm manager, again thanks for any help. i will be glad to try whatever you can figure out.
I did the reg fix to get hspa turned on on my pure and it displays H for a while . but after a restart or 2 it goes back to plain UTMS and wont go back up .
ideas?
I've noticed a lot of registries revert after SR.
There is no fix, just have to reset them.
Maybe easier to make it into a cab and just install when they revert.
I have a weird problem with my galaxy s. Normally my phone reception is strong and shows 5 bars but then sporadically it drops to 0 bars and I have no connection. This happens even when I don't touch the device. However I do notice that when I touch it the signal drops slightly. When I was in a train yesterday it dropped all the time. My father has the same provider as me with his iphone 4 and is not experiencing any drops so that shouldnt be the issue.
This problem seems rather recent after installing darky's rom v.7 and 8, but I'm not sure if that's whats causing the probem. Any ideas? I would hate to send back my phone. Could it also be a sim card problem for some reason?
Try to switch to GSM mode only.. I noticed my signal is about 50% lower if my network mode is set to auto instead of GSM mode.
the signal does seem a bit stronger you're right! thx for that
I'm not sure if it fixes the problem though because it could jump from strong signal to no signal in a split second..
Changed the ROM and got problems does that not give you the answer .
Cannot send back the phone as with a non standard ROM warranty is invalid .
I would flash back to Eclair via ODIN the use Kies to update to your providers current firmware .

well it makes no sense that changing a rom that works well for everyone would be a cause of a weird problem like this. I gotta say though that since changing the option that EarlZ mentioned helped and I haven't seen a drop yet, so lets hope that fixed it.

Does not work well for everyone if you read the multiple complaints .
Thats the nature of rom building a work in progress .
Easy way to test is as always to revert to original rom .

Hey All,
My G2 never says "LTE" anymore. The best the little icon ever gets is 3G (like right now - and the status screen says CDMA - eHRPD, -84 dBm 4 asu). I'd like to know if my phone is broken. I have CyanogenMod 12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT* on it. I'm considering putting it back to stock firmware to see if it's hardware or firmware. Is there a less drastic troubleshooting step I should do first though?
Thanks,
Dan
Hello. I updated the Android Beta and it seems I don't have that one mega-useful icon on the top screen that tells me if the signal is strong enough to make a call. Anyone had this very thing? Seems no one in the world noticed and it seems so weird to me.
If anyone knows how to make it appear again... well, very appreciated :')

Looks like a conscious design decision to only show your current internet connection whether it be wifi or carrier.
Dropping down the shade reveals your carrier connection strength if currently on wifi.
I can't get it to appear with the standard System UI tweaker either. In a way it makes sense, in another way it is annoying.
