does 2g or 3g affect how many bars i get for the signal?
The bars will show you the signal strength based on your current connection, whether that be 2g or 3g - so no it won't affect it

Hello all,
I just want a little info about the network signal that displays in the notification bar. My phone mobile network setting is on GSM/WCDMA auto. Normally in phone info it says that the network type is on HSDPA. Today i noticed that i lost all signal bars and the network type says UMTS.
Does the lost of all signal bars mean that i have no more 3G and have reverted to the next lowest network mode but can still receive/make a call (i didn't test it) or simply does the signal graph scale with the current network mode or is it global?
Signal strength was at -101 dbm, i change network mode to GSM only, i got all my signal bars and strength was at -79 dbm
Thanks
I am using a flashed Epic 4G on the Page Plus network. Whenever I have a data connection, the 3G icon appears on my phone. Does this 3G icon refer to true 3G (i.e. EVDO), or does it include 2G speeds (i.e. 1xRTT) as well?
Are there any indicators out there that can distinguish between 2G and 3G data connectivity?
On the stock framework for Epic they use the 3G icon for 1x and 3G connections. Many custom ROMs/themes have a proper 1x icon in them. Also, you can download Network Info II from the market and it'll show what mode you are in under "Net Type:" about halfway down the screen.
So here is my grudge as of now with the gnex. When I go from roaming to 3g or airplane to 3g, it takes an unbelievably long time to actually GET the 3g signal. It will show me that I have 3 or 4 bars of service but does not show me the little 3g icon. I am currently running Sourcery 3.2 as my rom and have my mobile network set to CDMA only. Is this a common issue or do I have a possible shotty gnex?
I have an E980. Signal keeps on dropping mainly because of the 4g connection having low signals. Couldnt find anywhere the 4g to 3g settings.
On KK 4.4.2. How can i switch settings to ONLY 3G or perhaps limit it to ONLY 2G?
Hey guys,
I recently tried to use the MIUI ROM on my SM-N910P, which shows signal bars for both 1x and 3G/ EVDO. This can be very useful because calls are generally handled with the quality of 1x signal and not the 3G/ EVDO signal.
Can we not get that in the stock TouchWiz ROM? If yes, how?
Please advise!
