I feel like this must be answered somewhere on the internet, but every time I try searching, I get a ton of results for the HTC One X's WiFi issues.
My issue is that I often get a little tiny x inside my WiFi signal bars.

Screenshot?
You are seeing the up and down arrow inside the wifi icon when data is being transmitted. That's my guess.
and why sometime the wifi icon is grey and the rest of time blue? what does it means?

Blue means it's connected to Google Services, Grey means not connected to Google Services.

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.
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
went to use google wallet at the same petco that I have used several times before, but this time no blue bars just four gray bars and google wallet no worky?
running stock as can be
Grey bars mean your phone isn't connected to the google servers. A quick fix is to open the google talk app and it should re-connect.
I get greyed out bars (actually their greyed out as I typed this) with no lines in the signal either to represent bar numbers.
And yea..I don't use Google Wallet, stock phone, on Verizon.
Phone blows balls for getting and keeping a signal, first time on Verizon service and I HOPE to god this isn't how their service really is because after all the fame their the best this phone is leading me to believe otherwise.
Grey bars are not the cause of the problem, they're the reaction to your signal not being proper and sync not being up to date.

Proper? What does that mean in English? Starting to wonder if my phone is defective or its this software in the radio or possibly even hardware.

If your connection is dropping then it surely isn't going to keep synced to Google properly.... and then Google Wallet isn't going to work.
I dunno what your particular problem is, or whats wrong on your device. I'm just explaining that the grey bars are just a result of your phone not being connected continuously, not the problem that is creating your disconnection.

A link to the definition of proper..hm okay not a dumbass, I know what the meaning of the word is..what I asked for was what you were getting at and the problem.
All you had to say was their greyed out because the phone is not keeping a signal, but if that's the case do I have a signal when its greyed out, or just that the phone is not keeping a signal? I said I called my voicemail and got through but was a bit choppy. Not sure what I'm getting for data, nothing is displayed for that.

Do you always cuss at people who take time out of their day to help others?
Thread moved to Q&A.
logging into google talk did not change anything other than not being able to use google talk as well, for purposes of discussion, the location I was at had 4 blue bars, prior to moving and staying at 4 gray bars.
and today at the market
had gray wifi, how is that possible?
I thought gray == dormant data connection?
Does anyone have gray bars only on 3G? I've had gray bars with no 3G symbol all day yesterday. Tried the google talk thing, doesnt work. Browser wont work either.
I thought it was a Verizon network outage but 4G works just fine (blue bars)
understand why 3g/4g does not connect
but why would you have gray wifi?

Get a new sim. It should fix it.

Easy. Google's servers are down but your wifi or cell connection is still working. So therefore gray bars due to no google but data still up. Happens once in a while.
Green = google server connected
Gray = no google server, but doesnt mean the whole web is down
Gray bars means no connection to Google's servers.
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.

No GSM signal and/or no mobile data signal?
PS: the bar is grey if you're not connected to Google's servers. When you are, it turns blue.

usually the bar contains an "x". rarely there is no "x". never had a blue bar.e
when i activate mobile data, the bar gets blue or grey and there is signal but still turns into "x" when i put my phone into sleep.

Sounds to me either the radio is incompatible with your carrier or some HW malfunction. I'd go back to the store and ask for some service.
Are you sure that your SIM is good? If so, do you have your APN configured properly?
yes i changed the sim-cards from my girlfriend and her phone. mine did work at her phone, her card did not at mine.
I had the same issue. No signal. I got a replacement and the replacement works just fine. I think its a faulty radio.

where did you buy the phone from? if its stolen it wont have any signal
Had the same issue (although not that "hard") and sent it in for repair. They replaced the motherboard, and now the reception is just fine on all networks I tried.
