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'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?

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.
First, sorry if this has been asked to death. I did some searching and checked recommended posts and FAQs but nothing quite covered this...
I came from a Telus (Canada) ROM and flashed Android Revolution. Now, on Telus I'm pretty much always in 4G no matter what, never changes. Occasionally I'll skip up to LTE; at least according to the icons.
Anyway on this new ROM it's skipping all over from 3G to H to H+ to occasionally LTE. I heard rumblings that 4G is usually a buzzword companies use incorrectly due to a loophole, so is that what I am seeing here? Telus using 4G icon for the signal levels of 3G, H and H+?
Ideally I would like to change my icon set back to what it was, if that's not too difficult (I was hoping for something like taking them from the other ROM and pasting them into the new one, but i have a feeling it won't be that easy). If it's a pain, the knowledge of what's going on will help me just deal with it.
Thanks in advance you guys!
If its anything like AT&T this is exactly what happened. Your new ROM is reporting data connection correctly, your stock ROM only showed 4g.
Are you s-off?
And during installation did it ask you to pick a carrier?
What did you select?

I am currently not S-OFF as I haven't had any reason to drop the security yet.
When I installed it, it did ask what version of the HTC One I had; I chose HTC (Canada) from the list.

OK, try flashing an AT&T signal mod. I'm not sure if it will work, but they seem to report the signal the same way. I've seen a few floating around the mods section.

Alright, cool I'll give that a shot.
Just in case it doesn't work, in terms of increasing signal capabilities its 3G, H, H+ and then LTE correct?
I updated to 4.3 just now and my lte signal dropped to 1 to 2 bars, from a constant full bars. I noticed the performance is equal, meaning it may be just a difference in the sensitivity of the antenna's display of good signal however, it drops from lte a lot and stays in 3g. Has anyone verified the changes in the new modem? Any other bugs I should be aware on the 4.3 update? Also, Dashclock widget doesn't work on htc's widget lock screen.
Looks like before the bars were for voice and now they represent data. That's the way it is in AOSP.

I imagined since there were no changes in performance per se. I just wish I could restrict my one to lte only. Either 4g or no data.

I work relatively close to a 4G LTE tower before updated it showed full 4G with fast speeds, now it shows little to no 4G and would switch to 3G. I tried to Factory Data Reset with PRL and Profile Update and still shows the same, and I'm running all stock no root, and I'm pretty sure it's not the tower.

This is correct. You can verify this by connecting to wifi and then disabling mobile data. Your bars will instantly change.
I like this change. Now I can see that it is not possible to have more than 1 bar of 4G pretty much anywhere in my area. No wonder the speeds are so average and I almost never get 4G, the Sprint towers are all so far off the main roads that by the time the signal gets there it's weak. You can get full bars... if you drive up to the Sprint call center in Bristol, TN.
Before this change it was a lot harder to tell whether you were getting good 4G or 3G reception.
Edit: I just want to say that the reception itself is largely unchanged. When the phone goes from 4G to 3G, nothing will make it go back to 4G except toggling the data off and on.
Just to throw this in the mix. I live in an area that never had 4g but after this update I have it now. My signal strength also shows the one bar but coming from 3g only my connection now is 4g and has increased significantly. Maybe this new radio has a factor that extends the overall 4g coverage? I guess it could be just timing and 4g was opened up in my area but like I said I now have it after this update.
Okay so I've seen this same possible problem with pretty much every 4g lte phone I've had to date now I'm sure it's more a less made this way but my question is when someone uses there cell data alot (I have the true unlimited data) on 4g lte let's say while watching YouTube videos have you ever had it switch to 4G after using it for a bit? This happens on all 4g lte phones I've had I'll be watching YouTube with 4g lte then after using data for awhile it switches to 4G here's where my question comes in, is there a way to force the phone to stick with Only 4g lte? Possible temporarily turn off the 4G an force my note 4 to only use its 4g lte connection? If you need more detail feel free to ask

There's an xposed module for the s5 I think it's lte mode only I was using it on the note4 recently and it works. Unfortunately I don't use xposed anymore so I can't recall exactly what it's called

I was actually messing around with the service menus and came across a service menu that aloud me to force a specific data band so I got it to force 4g Lte even if it has 1 bar cause that's when it goes down to 4g but now it stays and another thing I should note is at My gfs house I usually get 2 bars on lte but after doing this it's been a solid 4 for some reason haha either way it's working that's all that matters

One thing I must note is that you should make sure to have Volte enabled or you may have trouble getting calls through.
