Battery life and network strength - Sony Xperia ZL

In the settings for battery life I have very bad network strength:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't quite understand how the quality can change that fast, because I'm at work at the moment and my phone is lying on my desk beside me. Everytime I turn it on it has full network strength...
Anyone else got this problem?
Edit:
My phone tells me I didn't have a network signal vor over 70%, and that's definetely not true.

I'm having the same issue, I apparently didn't have a signal for 44% today which I know isn't true, I'd had data turned off for allot of the day, wonder if that had something to do with it

[Q] Weird Gray Battery Icon

My brother sent me this pic, anyone ever seen this before? I couldn't find anything in the search...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It means that the battery isnt communicating with the phone so it thinks there isnt a battery installed even though it is still sending the phone power. Tell him if he has TEP on the phone he can just go to his nearest sprint store and they SHOULD give him a new battery.
PS: this is the first time i have ever heard of it happening on an evo. But I have seen it on other HTC Sense devices (the battery status icons are different on Sense devices than that of regular stock Android.)
Thanks for the response!

Impressive Battery Life (light usage)

Yes it's another battery life thread, but I don't think I've seen anyone post 2 days+

Screen brightness 30%, light browsing, 20 texts, few phone calls, bluetooth use in Torque, OTA update and sync with Gmail/twitter/facebook.
Biggest hit on battery life was probably the average signal at work.
Yes it's pretty much minimal use, but seems to better than the S2 ime and a massive improvement from the Desire I upgraded from.
Please just post in this thread already made, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374286.
BTW, that's awesome.

[Q] Discrepancy in battery indicator and actual battery level. Why?

Notice in the screen capture below the battery indicator has barely decreased but the usage screen is showing that the current level is 88% :silly: Why? Is there a problem with the battery calibration? How can I rectify this.

Speedtest/data speed problem?

So when I use speed test, it is choppy, it's kind of like watching a scratched DVD. I average speeds between .5 and 2mbps, sometimes I get 12-15 mbps if I keep redoing the test. It's like I'm getting data I'm small spurts? I'm unlocked but on TMobile prepaid, I'm not being capped, I called and made sure. There's also no network outages. I'm using stock 4.0.4 ROM. I've tried every different radio (though I'm not sure what to wipe in order when flashing).

I don't understand why this is do sporadic. I unchecked and rechecked my GPS for the hell of it, and it pegged to 21mbps, but I couldn't duplicate it after that..

Anyone still using there note noticed DRASTICALLY slow internet speed?

I never had a problem before, but lately ive had to restart the phone alot, still running into problems with the speed specifically loading instagram pictures, even simple snapchats. I feel like my phone internet speed is almost limited, hoping this isn't placebo as I never noticed this happening before
I heard on Friday is that ALL the carriers PLAN to SEVERLY Throttle your speeds so you get SO FRUSTRATED you are forced to stop using it.
Here's my current speeds:
