Hello everyone, I just got this phone a few hours ago and theres something that bothers the hell outta me. My network signal shows both 4G/LTE icons making the signal go behind the notch, I have not found a solution yet for this issue.
Heres a link directly to the screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/7TgLbE4

Mine shows only one 4G not 2.
Like in the screenshots. Isn''t this your theme?
Got the default theme as soon as I turn down wifi it shows 4G LTE all together.
This is how it looks btw.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a silly question.
What does it mean when the network status icon appears faded or 'ghosted out' as in the screenshot attached.
I've seen this with G, 3G, E & H symbols and it seems to happen regardless of signal strength.
I couldn't find anything in my manual about it.
Thanks for your help.
I think this happens when GPRS is attached/detected in legacy mode. I don't know much details, so someone more experienced here may throw more light on the same
Hello,
i had something strange on my diamond for a while now, the network band icon on the upper bar of the windows mobile changes all the time.
i wouldnt bother if it changes "E" to "H" of to "G" but for each it seems to have two icons, i.e: it sometimes shows the "E" icon with solid white background, and sometimes shows the "E" icon with gray partially transparent background.
is there any differences between the both "E"s?
btw this happens with the "H" as well, not sure about the "G"!

not 100% but recall the more grey icons meaning roaming

roaming is indicating by a triangle on the bar, plus i shouldn't be roaming on my network :S
I attached screen shots of both cases!
any clue?
if the icons grey, normally u are unable to connect with the internet. i think the problem lies on o2. i live in austria and use t-mobile. 1 year ago i've got the same icons - and in the time where the icon were grayed i was unale to connect with the internet, but after 3 days everything was fine (automatically)...
which rom did u use?

Iam using the official Rom delivered with the phone!
btw i could connect in either case!
The cropped screenshots show an odd 'home' shaped symbol with clouds over it on the phone signal strength indicator in the notification bar next to the battery. It blinks kind irregularly every second or so. It is always blue while the signal strength stays mostly grey. This happened after I applied the .232 ICS update going from .905. I am not roaming, all radios work fine, phone works fine. I haven't found the symbol on any list of ICS symbols and icons. Anyone have a clue what it is or how to get rid of it?
You're not using any custom roms? That's the first that i've ever seen that symbol and I go thru 3g and 4g symbols a lot since i commute between towns.
Likewise... I even did some googling for you... I came up with squat! I've never seen this symbol before and now I'm going to be up all night over it... THANKS! Could it be something special with your celltower in your area, or does it do this everywhere you go?
Could it be when you select home or automatic in the data /roaming preferences that's what pops up? Lemme change mine and see what happens
Edit. I guess that option was on my old 3g incredible.

Reported elsewhere as well (Droid Forum). I upgraded to the leaked 232 as well and do not have this symbol.

It is worth noting that the preference you mention was available in Gingerbread, not in ICS. If the setting was active before upgrading to ICS, who knows what would happen?
That is a connected to a femtocell notification. Ie Verizon network extender.

Working till it bleeds.

That is correct, sir! I figured it out last night. Away from home the symbol goes away, and back to home it returns. I have had a Verizon network extender for two years due to virtually no signal at home. It is the older model with just phone signal booster, not data as the new ones also so. Thank goodness, I was going nuts trying to figure out what was going on or what I had done wrong going to the .232 ICS leak.
Hi there. Hope all of you are enjoying your Z1 as much as I am. I'm very pleased so far... well except for the locked bootloader and no root part. I honestly don't know what anyone is complaining about in regards to the screen. Sure the viewing angles aren't great, but it's not a tv. And the color accuracy is among the best I've seen.
That said there's a couple thing off the top of my head...
The notification bar changes from black to a dull grey when in dialer or settings. Maybe it did this all along and I just noticed but it's bugging the hell out of me. Anyone else experience this?
Also periodically at home I'll lose LTE. The icon will show 4G, but not LTE below it. Not a problem, but when I search the "Service Providers" in "Mobile Network Settings" I will find an LTE network, but there's a check mark next to the 3G T-Mobile network. If I select the LTE network it immediately connects to that. It makes me wonder if it would automatically switch over to LTE later (presumably on a stronger signal). Any thoughts?

I can only assume it is that there's a stronger HSPA+ signal than the LT signal. Can't comment on anything else - sorry. By the way, the Z was a locked bootloader, right? But, we found ways around that and for root?

Your base assumption is probably correct. I haven't seen this problem specifically, but the phone is probably being less aggressive about LTE where the signal is weaker to save battery.

It'll come, in due time. :good:
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.
