I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that after I flashed Revolt 1.3, I never see the "LTE" symbol in my notification bar. I'm in an LTE area, so I know it's available--does that mean my phone isn't running LTE anymore or is the symbol just not showing up on this ROM? I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculously misguided question--I'm new here and learning as I go.
By the way, mtmichaelson--I said this before and I'll say it again--awesome ROM! Thanks again for your hard work.

Well I am glad you enjoy! The LTE symbol was replaced with the 4g one. If it shows 4g than you are in an LTE area (that's all Verizon offers for 4g)

I never noticed that and why mt why did you get rid of the LTE? I liked that.

Basically my question is why my Vivid shows 4G in the status bar always? Even if I turn off data, it still shows the 4G icon. I was in a spot yesterday where I definitely had no data and I still had a 4G icon. It never changes from 4G. Ever. There is no way I can always been in an area with 4G coverage.
Anybody else notice this?
you can thank AT&T for meddling with the framework. they like to trick everyone into thinking you have 4G coverage everywhere, even when you dont actually have it.

Damn. That's exactly what I thought but was hoping that wasn't the case. Now, if I'm in an LTE area, will it show it or still just 4G?

It will show "4G LTE"
with the lte written small, just below the G
See, AT&T wants to promote LTE.... but not at the expense of admitting that everything else, is not 4G
No worries, this is something I know ROMs will address.
And no wonder I haven't seen the LTE yet because I'm not in an LTE market. Awesome.
If we do custom icons (such as animated v8) in the UOT kitchen, what icons would be used for 4g and lte?
There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary math, and those who don't.
Never mind. I see they are included in that pack. Never noticed them before.

Here's what I wrote in the Holicakes thread.
Aus_Azn said:
4G under the AT&T ROM is used to represent UMTS (3G), HSD/UPA (H) and HSPA+ (H). Thus, you previously could never actually see it bouncing between UMTS and HSPA, which the phone frequently does.
LTE will show up as LTE in the little indicator, if it's available.

AFAIK, there is no unique icon for HSPA+; you've just got to trust in the speed. Also AFAIK, any ROM that displays H+ is true, as I think that HSPA+ is merely a seamless extension of HSD/UPA.
Flashing an international ROM shows just how crap of a job AT&T's "4G" indicator does.

This is exactly what I saw when running Rum Raider. The indicator went from 3G to H+ quite frequently.

Wait, H+ or H? I'm getting H+ speeds, but my phone still shows H. H is all I've seen on any international ROM I've used, both on the Inspire and this.

I thought H+ on Rum Raider but I may be wrong. May have just been H.
I did a UOT kitchen mod before I noticed, so I don't know if it was like this out of the box. When I turn off mobile network (under wireless and networks), I am still getting a 4g icon. I also have it when on WiFi. Anyone else got this (pre or post UOT)?
I am using animated v8 icons if it matters.

198 reads and I'm the only one with this? Odd.

I didnt have it before rooting, but afterwards it was there all the time. It was even there when my SGS2 (Exynos) would fall back to EDGE. So youre not the only one.
My mobile data is always off and WiFi is always on. 4g icon has never left the status bar. Btw, my phone is completely stock and I've only had this phone since Sunday.

It's an AT&T thing. They put that in the framework apparently to hide the constant switching between mobile networks.

hmmm.. is this only with 4g phones ? My aria didn't had this issue but Vivid does keep the 4g even if you are on wi-fi which is misleading

The Aria wasn't a 4g phone. The Inspire showed a constant H+. The Vivid and Inspire are the only ones I have experience with with a 4g icon.

I live in Dominican Republic and use this phone with Claro RD with 850 freq, for some reason i installed a jellybean slimroms rom and my internet was H+ but when i returned to gingerbread software it only says 3G, do any of you know how to get this phone to show 4G or at least H+ with 2.3.6 stock software?

HSDPA is "3.5G" and therefor some roms classify it as 3G, some roms classify it as H, some roms classify it as 4G.
There is a zip file floating in one of the rom threads that appends the 3G icon into a 4G icon, but it's only cosmetic, there's no actual difference in speed for any of the roms, it's just which icon it shows.
interesting prompted me to look into the difference in cellular data tech didn't know there was a difference before
Is there a way I can change my data icon to show LTE or 4G all the time instead of H or E. Im running the google edition rom and I don't like seeing H on my phone. I notice on insertcoin roms he gives you the option to choose between at&t, t-mobile and international. With international I get the H and with t-mobile i get the 4g symbol, so is there anyway I can change this using the google edition rom?
Nobody?

I don't think there are themes or tweaks for that yet. The data icon is dependent on your coverage, so it changes from place to place.
you could change to a carrier with better LTE coverage. If your seeing E that means the coverage sucks.

Its weird because when I flash insert coin ROM and choose and different carrier the icon changes. So I was thinking that it's some changes in the system or maybe a radio or something.

You should pick your own carrier's icon for the best results
icons are just cosmetic. the important issue is what technology your modem is talking to the tower with. LTE is ideal, hspa is tolerable and edge is garbage.
A lot of carriers started labling hspa as 4G. AOSP calls lte 4g. The GPE shows LTE and HSPA which is the most accurate. Changing the icons to anything other than an indicator of LTE, Hspa or Edge is just putting lipstick on a pig.

Lol well I just need me some lipstick cause I already know that most carriers dress H+ as 4g just rather have the 4g or LTE icons regardless of what signal I'm receiving.

The icons draw a little differently in 4.4. they moved the up/down triangles so they only show on the quicksettings tiles. You could try tracking down some kind of icon mod zip from 4.3 and give it a whirl but I dunno if it would work.
There's also this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241
seems promising for the sort of decoration you're wanting.
none of this will make one bit of difference in your connectivity. Same as painting a Honda Ferrari red and sticking a Ferrari logo on it won't make it faster.

In a sense based ROM changing the skuid will give you the changes you're looking for. I don't have any idea what it will do for a GPe ROM, but you could give it a try.

I updated to the latest OTA and I now don't have simultaneous voice + LTE. I know that the new tri band phones with Sprint Spark lost this feature but I didn't think the OTA would break an existing feature. Anyone else experience this??
First off, wrong section. Secondly, there is no way for that to be possible. When I was using the Sense 5.5 ports, the LTE signal would disappear on call, but the devs confirmed it was still working. We never found out why it happened, but data & voice on LTE will always work hence why everyone SVDO was dropped.

I can confirm that when on LTE and you get a call the data indicator shows as if your data dropped but data still works. Just noticed it myself yesterday as a matter of fact.

Data and voice at same times works fine on cm11.
I believe it worked for me on stock you just need to enable DDTM.
in dialler do ##3242#, edit, then enter your msl
I think its under evdo. Look for DDTM and set to enable.

The EVO LTE & S3 generation of phones were the only SVDO phones. S4 until now CAN'T do voice over 3g. You'll only get voice/data on WiFi and/or LTE!
I have noticed that since the update every-time I end a call I get the no data message and it takes 20-30 seconds for it to come back, rather annoying actually.
