[Q] Both, 3g and 1x Singnal bars? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I flashed a friends HTC HeroC with Zero Hero.
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18094784 )
(I could not find any screen shots, but the thread has a video in it.)
The ROM displays both a 3G and a 1x Signal strength bars, at the same time, in the notification bar.
Is there a way to port something like that over to the Evo4g?
Thanks.

After root - Connecting to 3G instead of H

Any1 else have this same "problem." Doesn't bother me too much, but annoying. Before root, my phone never connected/displayed the 3G connection/logo. It was always either H or E. But now w/ CM6.1 and root, it connects to 3G more often then H or E.
Wondering if this is the case for others?
This was because the stock ROM showed H for 3G as well as hspa+.

There is a long discussion of this in the CM thread, but you are getting the same connection. The stock ROM has no 3G icon, it displays H for both 3G and H. What has always been happening is that the phone stays in 3G and kicks up to H when it is needed, then goes back to 3G to save power. All that is happening now is that you know when it's happening.
Like what the posts above say.
If you want to confirm then type *#*#INFO#*#* into your dialer and go to phone info (top option) and it will tell you your connection type.
Sometimes a particular rom or theme might show the icon on the notification bar wrong, it does not mean that the specific connection type is not working properly though.

Voice vs. 3G Data Signal ( bar )

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!

[Q] How I Put The 3G Icon If I Dont Have Data Connection ?

Does exist a hack or something ? I live in Dominican Republic and here doesnt have Data Connection for the CDMA Smartphones only Phone+Message...
I want the 3G icon on my status bar but i have 1x connection.. No 4G , no 1X ...
Help Me Please
You'd need to swap the pngs for the 1x icons with 3G icons in your systemui.apk.
Or use a stock rom. On the stock Evo roms the 3g is "stuck" and as long as you have any kind of data connection you'll get 3g showing. Since you're getting 1x your qualify. Plainjane's solution is more appropriate if you want to stay on a custom rom.

[Q] Can't find the signal icons mod

I just came back to TW after a lengthy stint with CM and I can't seem to find the mod for changing the 4G icon to reflect the actual network connection (3g, H+, etc). Does anyone have a link to this?
Thanks!

[Q] Signal Identification / icon

Hi All,
I just got one question related to signal. This is not blocking or changing performance but this is something I have been faced each time I used a Viper rom on my phones.
First, I am from France and problem was present while I was with SFR and still present with Orange FR.
Let me just give as example with Orange FR I am currently on.
With the stock ROM, the icon at home was switching from H to H+ depending whereI am. At the Office I was between 4G and 3G+.
Now I have installed the ViperRom, and I only see the H signal at home or around and 4G at office.
I have now installed GSM signal monitor and for example at home, I got the H icon and the monitor is displaying HSPA+ so icon does not match the band I am on ...
I also got a HTC One Mini, S-OFF, and now only got the 4G icon even at home where 4G coverage is not present.
It seems that there is a setting for French carrier that make the icon accurate ....
Where is the setting to get more details on this ?
I have a backup of the stock rom, are there parameters I can extranct and use on custom rom ?
Many thanks for answers.
Some i am also face the same thing.
