Ok:
1. Is there a way to get an actual 4G Gauge? On other roms, I can simply look on my notification bar and see the strength of my 4G connection, but on cm7 theres only an inactive icon.
2. Why does the wifi, 4g, and signal strength icons sometimes go from green to white?
Just curious, thanks.
1.You should be able to see the strength on it
2. White means its connected, but no data, when it turns green you have data

Think it means its downloading data or connecting. No need to worry. And there are some themes out there that help with the 4g thing.

Hello - does anyone know of a mod that changes the taskbar icon to show when you're in a 1x signal area? Someone did provide a link to a widget to do this, but I'm wondering if there is an option that replaces the static 3g signal icon with one that changes between 1x and 3g? I tried searching this thread and the theme section but 1x is too short for XDA's search. Running Myn's ROM. Thanks much...

Unless I'm missing something, the notification bar will show 3G when you're IN 3G and 1x if you're IN 1x....
The icons themselves are in framework-res.apk if you wish to change them but as far as them changing, they do so automatically...

I'm sort of in the same boat. There's probably like 2% of people here that want a 1x/3g mod so I don't think the support will go to it.
It "suppose" to switch from 3g to 1x if you are in a 1x area but i't doesn't do it for me. but if you only want to know when you are connected to 1x than you can download this app for free on market called Cellumap. It will show a bunch of crap about the network you're on but it also shows 1xrrt or Evdo_a/o(3g). But I don't think there's a app out that changes your network icon to 1x when connected

For whatever reason, HTC or Sprint decided to mask 1x service with the 3g icon. I've driven through the same service areas with CM6 and a Sense ROM (Myn 2.2) and when service drops to 1x, CM6 shows the change. However, the Sense ROMs mask the change making you think you are always on 3g. Here is a post that discusses it in detail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803307&page=3
It's really annoying when you are using data and it drops from 3g to 1x but the phone doesn't show the change. Any suggestions?
Probably Sprint's way of making you think they have more 3G than they actually do?

Probably, tmobile does the same with their H icon for 3g and HSPA+
Maybe Mobile Signal Widget would report a 1X data rate on a sense ROM? Not the ideal solution, I know.

Thanks... just installed it but it sucks that it takes up valuable screen space with a widget. I guess it's better than nothing.
I appreciate all the insight, and interesting that Tmob does something similar. Maybe a dev would be interested in taking this on?
These were not like this before and I dont know what is wrong. Whenever I dont have WiFi activated my connection bars turn grey (even if I have a full 5 bar connection). Whenever I activate WiFi then the bars turn blue. Everything works fine while the bars are grey except that I cannot use the android market, facebook, gmail, etc. I do not know what is causing this or how to fix it so I could use some help please.
I know there are some threads on here about the grey/green bars and I want to make it clear that I am not asking WHAT the difference is. I am asking why dont I have blue bars without WiFi? It has been working fine without WiFi at all up until now.
These are 2 pics showing what I mean.
Do you have a Verizon Nexus? If so Verizon has been having 4G outages across the country today so you may not have a data connection. Those bars show grey when there is no data 3G/4G connection.
i believe blue bars means that you have a secure connection to googles servers, correct me if im wrong tho

Yes but I dont use 4G often since it drains battery a ton. It could still be the problem even with 3G though? I guess I will have to wait it out it seems.

Yes that is correct, but if they are having data outages then I think it would also cause the greyness.
Grey bars means no connection with google servers.Blue means connected to google servers.Some times i have grey because of some disconnection (eg gtalk) but i have the H symbol with full bars and i can browse see my email etc etc
Voice vs. 3G Data Signal ( bar ) : Are these separted in any status bar mods?
Is it possible?
I've never seen one that separates them, however AOSP roms will always show the 3g strength instead of voice strength.

Well that is good to know. And explains the discrep I notice when driving, would like to see these broken out somehow though
Hey,
When making calls you are only using 1x and that is many times what your signal strength is, "Except as noted above by Sitlet ASOP which use the bars as 3g". When you are using data on lets say a sense rom you know its going through because you see the 3g on your status bar going. Now there are apps out there which allow you to see the signal strength in decibels and that would be the best way to determine your actual signal strength via 3g 1x 4g etc, but to answer your question I have never seen any mods that do this for you!
Hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks!

I have no icon at the top of the screen to indicate 3G, H or H+ and am not sure if that is normal. Is it?
Icons not licons obviously.
It's not normal.
Try a reboot or it could be your network
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I get these icons no problem. I have only had to reboot it once since I got it on Thursday due the OTA update. Can't fault this phone at the moment. Reading all the so called bugs but I don't seem to be having them.

You dont see the icons when your connected to WIFI as all data will go through wifi and so whether your network at that time is 3g/H is irrelevant.

I've seen screen shot where people seem to have this.. but I just got my OP7T (used the OP migration too to move from OP6), and I do not have any "bars" in my status bar to indicate cell signal strength.
Tmobile, USA.
I *can* add the upload/download speed to the status bar... but again, normally you have the 1-5 bars of cell reception strength.
I can't find anything wiich clearly says there were purposely removed.
I'm on build 10.0.7.HD65AA
thanks!
Mike
EDIT: I can add my own bars thru an app like LTE Discovery.. but again, I thought this was part of the stock OS?
EDIT2: ok, solved.. Status bar.. Icon manager... Cellular data.
