Show signalstrenth in dBm and network status (2G or 3G) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo,
a very useful Option in CyanogenMod 9.0.0RC2 for the Samsung Galaxy S is to show signal strength in dbm. However when I activate this option, I don't see anymore the status if it is 2G or 3G or HSDPA. Can the theme be changed so that both is shown? Or how is this possible? It would be also nice to have bigger arrows showing the data flow. In original Samsung firmware there are the arrows red and green, so that they can be easily seen.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] I dont get 3G icon in my Xperia X8

Hey guys i want to have a 3G icon in my xperia but i cannot get it please help me with this issue do i need to change my network settings? i tired googling but i could not find any solution please help
Hi there,
I have a Xperia X8 with the Rom "Froyobread" installed, too.
At my homescreen I can't find the "3G" symbol like its normal as on Apple's IOS.
But there is a "H" below the two arrows, which indicate the up- and download.
The "H" stands for HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access. I think its the same as the "3G Standard".
If there is an "E" below the 2 arrows, indicated at the top corner, you have only the slower EDGE Connection. As a consequence, it is the "2G Standard".
Greetings from Germany.
Hey dude thanks actually i get the H icon in my Mobile i thought it is lower than the EDGE i think getting the H icon is more than enough.
but is there a way to see if some data are being transmitted or if the "H" symbol just means that that area is covered by HSDPA service?
On symbian, for example, you always see the 3G icon, when under coverage...
Well, you could use Phono, which you can get from the market, it will give you a lot of details about your network and its free!!!!!

Which icon are you referring to, and what is the icon that you are seeing now?
See here for the list of the icons:

What i get at the moment is the Signal strength icon which sometime has a Small H with it, I also get the Wif and Battery Icon but i don't get, EDGE, 3G, Sending and downloading 3G data, Sending and downloading EDGE data,
I get all other notification icons appearing like email etc, but no Status Icons for 3G or Edge.
I just wondered if they had been turned off somewhere..? But i can't find any options for them. I dunno if they are in the build prop like the NFC icon i set this to true and that now appears.
Network icons:
H or H+: you're connected to 3.5G / UMTS network.
3G: you're connected to 3G network.
E: you're connected to EDGE network.
Each icon will appear depends on what network you're connected to. And they will NOT appear when you're connected to wifi.
About the data upstream / downstream indicators, look for small upwards and downwards triangle under the network icons (of course when you're not connected to wifi).

[Q] True Network Speed on Notification Bar

On my Note 3 with the Hyperdrive rom I had a setting where I could switch it to display the indicator for True Network speed - example when I was in a low connection area it would only show E for Edge network and in an area for good reception it would show LTE. Is there an xposed module or any other way to get this handy feature back?
Thanks everyone.

"!" icon on network connection, still have data

So this morning i noticed on my way to work that my cell network icon has a "!" mark next to it, with no indication of the connection type (LTE, H ect). at first i thought it was because i had no internet connection for some reason, however, when i pull the notification shade down i see the icon for network connection has the connection type (says LTE) as well as the "!". So the notification shade had LTE and the ! while the status bar icon only had the "!". I confirmed that access to the internet was fine by checking websites and running speed tests. Anyone experience this issue?

I did as I posted in my other thread about this. Now if there is a way to put my Preferred Network Type back to "Global" instead of LTE (recommend) I switched it because I thought I had no internet either until it showed LTE on the notification shade too.
Looks like it was a problem with tmobile this morning, back to normal now

Anyway I can get my Preferred network thingy to show up as "Global" again? and not LTE (preferred)

[Q] Cell Data Icon is not displaying correctly

After using Xposed Ex-Themer and GravityBox at the same time, now my Cellular Data Icon in the Notification Bar always shows E (edge) even when I a connected via 3g, HSPA, 4g LTE. I cannot seem to get it to reset to stock icons. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank!
