So i just flashed the latest ICS leak and so far i am loving it. my question is about the signal bar glitchy-ness. im not complaining. As much as asking if there is a solution yet. my 3g is about as reliable as mitt romneys voting record. Possibly could just be due to sprints ungodly slow data in my area. it wont allow me to update prl or anything? idk. any thoughts?

The signal bar is not yet stable. I'm surprised you're getting anything at all there. I wasn't able to update profile or prl either. I tried about 10 times...

This is the best comparison I've read all week.
So is it my actual signal that is spotty? it finally let me update profile and prl. but at work haven't tried a call yet. or is it just the signal bar visually freaking out. cause honestly. it seems data it actually working fairly well, although slowly. (sprint...)

It's the signal bar itself. It isn't displaying correct signal. You may have full signal but your bars will not show it
Edit: I was also able to update profile and prl
This is so cool though!

I read somewhere that the reason you may have "no" signal is because the fb17 signal indicator only has 4 bars as opposed to 6 bars on gb. So where before you would have one or two bars, now it only shows no bars. As far as i know even if it shows no bars, if the icon is there and not an "x" then you do have signal. I could be wrong though.

Do you guys know if it is possible to get an indicator that shows separate signal strengths for 1X and 3G bands like the old school phones? Like this:

Thanks for the quick reply, but im not talking about the 1x icon fix. I want the indicator that shows both at the same time like in the pic. Im running Syndicate.

Why would you want both? I mean no offense but it just doesn't seem logical to me.

Its not possible. The code for 1x and 3g is set to show what the status your radio is in.

Theres an app on the market called Real Signal, when enabled it shows Green and Red Signal bars in the status bar. Green is for CDMA 1xRTT Voice and Red is for EVDO Data. So it breaks it down to your Voice and Data signals. That is the closest i have found.

Seems like if that app can do it, it should technically be possible to make the native signal display split the two signal types up as well – but what do I know.
All I know is I'm happy just knowing the signal strength of whatever connection is currently active (and having the 1x icon fix).
Sure it'd be neat to see both, but in practice it'd just take extra space in the notification bar.
Hey Guys,
I've been on ICS for awhile now, but I just switched back to Gingerbread. I must say I do like GB more (for now anyway).
Anyway one thing that really bugs me is the 4G icon on all the Gingerbread ROMs. I am currently running Blazer v4.0 and I was wondering how I could make the 4G icon be more like the 3G icon. By this I mean that instead of having the 4G icon like the WiFi icon, it is just like the 3G icon with the two arrows, much like the 4G icon is on the HTC EVO.
Please let me know if this mod exists (I searched without luck) or if it is possible. I would love to see this.
Thank you in advance.
You could go and edit the framework-res.apk yourself if you're up for that.
Edit: Actually, the 4g icons are in the settings.apk, sorry about that.
If you want I could try and whip out some 4g icons for you if you give me more of an idea of what you'd like. I'd still keep some way to show the signal strength though, as that should be kept and not exactly like the 3g icons that just show activity.
Well you see I live in an area were 4G is really strong so the signal strength doesn't really matter to me
I just like the look of the 3G icons much more with the up and down arrows that light up when they are in use.
I would love to create it myself, but unfortunately I don't have much knowledge when it comes to anything beyond the creation of the icons. I may however try to mess around with the settings apk to see if I could figure it out.
So ya, what I really would like is an icon just like the 3G icon, but that says 4G instead. Sort of like on Verizon phones: http://goo.gl/xOrsa
So I made some icons of how I imagine this to be. If anyone could help me figure out how to use them I would be very grateful.

I'm trying to think because I've only used 4G some in different places that have it not near me, does our phone change the icon when it is in use? Obviously it stops sleeping if it was, but does it flash or anything?

Actually I just connected to the almost nonexistent 4G at my house that I never use and it seems to stay static.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Pretty sure it stays the same. I think on of the main issues would be getting the up and down arrows to light up when in use. I guess both arrows could be off when its sleeping and on when its not? I really would like to have it be just like 3G though. I wobder if this may be something that could be developed...

Anyone know what Nightly LTE works on? I reverted back to 9 25 to get bluetooth working but I cant seem to find one to get LTE back.
Thanks.
I was on the last unofficial nightly 8-15 and it was working. I believe it has been working on all of the official nightlies.
It works-ish.
Unless you have consistent LTE signal everywhere you go, it will sometimes get stuck when switching between 3g and LTE. Toggling airplane mode typically fixes it, though I have been stuck even after that before, and it required a reboot.
I noticed that it connected, blue bars, for a second or two then it disconnects, grey bars.
I'm going to try 10 2 and see if LTE works.
It worked when I was in Baltimore for a bit

How is this overlooked in every aosp rom?? This has been well documented, it is a bug. The hand off between lte and 3g is sporadic.

The problem will come back. For me, it comes back, and I can't seem to get it to reconnect to 4g without a factory reset.

The phone itself doesn't connect to eHRPD at all, which is the technology used to transition between EvDo and LTE smoothly. I haven't seen the cm10 support it yet, which is why the handoffs are all messed up.

I had a weird thing happen with my signal today. It kept going out, and data just wouldn't work! Although the 3G icon was there nothing would download. Here is a pic of the connection status! Look at the mobile network type!

i had this happen to me for like two weeks on and off. After a while it would do this to me while the bars were blue! I tried toggling my data on and off, toggling airplane on and off, rebooting and even calling sprint to have them restart my data. This even followed me from rom to rom. The only way I got rid of it was to download the complete FH05 jellybean tar and odin back to stock jelly bean. I tried to odin to FD02 and except the ota but it followed me there too. Its wierd, and it started after I flashed a certain rom(wont name it cuz i cant be sure it had anything to do with it) and then the rom gave me some probs I wiped and restored my nandroid of cm10 I had before I flashed the mystery rom and thats when it started. And cm10 was working awesome for like three weeks before the mystery rom flash. I mean problems dont just pop up, theyre either there or theyre not.
Well I ended up calling Sprint today to find out what the problem was and they told me it was due to some tower being worked on! Maybe it has to do with the LTE?
I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Mainly its when I had it set to run on GSM/Edge/LTE/HSPA+ mode.
Its just due to the way your phone finds the best tower. It shouldn't hurt your phone, or affect your data in any way. Just switch your roaming profile to home only. It should fix it.
And to the Photoshop guy...
Are you that stupid? Seriously, use your mind. It doesn't look photoshopped. Even if it was, it would be a decent work.

Notice that it says lte. I'm not in a lte zone but lte works under this setting.
Now notice the network mode? That option is the option when you use the lte widget. It DOESNT say evdo. So possibly peoples lte-> elements are stemming from the fact that this mode doesn't have evdo. Just a theory. Comments? I noticed when I lost lte and didn't get 3g during this setting.
In front of a live studio audience
But that option is there for TouchWiz too. The aosp issue has something to do with an incorrect apn or something like that
But there evdo on touchwiz. Promise. The evdo is missing

He thinks a graphical mistake is our issue. I highly doubt such a thing would pass our many brilliant devs. Default for CM is for it to say that since the base is used for all of our alternates (att..T-Mobile..Verizon)

IDK. I have mine set to LTE/CDMA/EVDO, and I get 3G fine when I lose 4G. I'm using CM10.1. In fact, when I started this post, was on 3G. I'm now on 4G. The handoff was seamless.
Edit: I realized you meant it was an issue with using the widget, so I added the LTE toggle and turned LTE off then back on. My Network Mode screen still shows LTE/CDMA/EVDO and still connects to 3G. Perhaps there's a bug somewhere, but I don't think it's with the LTE widget.
In case it helps, I don't notice any extra battery usage over LTE compared to 3G, so I just leave LTE on all the time. I've never had an issue doing that. Perhaps you could, too, and the toggle widget bug won't be an issue.
The only issues I ever have is going back to 4g after losing it. Going from 4g to 3g is fine, 3g to 4g is a bit off.
