I upgraded from a Galaxy Nexus to a HTC One M8 Google Play edition. The thing I miss is the following -
On the Nexus, where the signal strength bars are shown, there are two arrows (pointing upwards and downwards) that appear when trying to do anything involving data. Additionally, the bars are white when they are unable to access Google and become blue when they can. I have often used this as a quick indicator of things are working as they should.
On the HTC One M8, there's nothing. I am absolutely not able to tell if there's any activity or not.

Is there any equivalent on an unrooted HTC M8 Google Play Edition?
Interesting you point that out.
My Stock M8 TMobile unit shows the up and down arrows to the left of the singal bars, under 4GLTE. So i know when i have active data going in or out of the phone.
I do agree with you that the blue indicating connectivity to google is sorely missed.
I have played with Nexus devices and i always liked the blue.

Hey guys! I'm running Jack Pham AOKP 35 (All pirated apps removed)
It's a nice ROM (apart from the pirated apps), but since I updated, it shows 4G... I know for a fact, that my network operator has got LTE masts, but then again, my phone is GSM, see where my problem is? The internet speed hasn't changed, nor the quality, so I'm thinking it's a mod in the ROM, tricking people, into thinking, they've got 4G, but they're running on HSPA+...
Here is the screenshot:

I'm new to AOKP, so I don't want to search and mod myself, yet... (I on't know, if the code is different, than on/in AOSP)
The GSM does not have lte radio. That rom just decided to change the icon to 4g.
they've just taken the "4G" icon from an LTE ROM and put it on the GSM ROM when you're connected to HSPA+.
I have a HTC One X 32gb white S-OFF.
It is a refurbished new phone actually.
everthing is working except 3g wcdma. It never gets signal of wdcma/3g even near base stations. But GSM is promlemless. I can talk, message and surf net via edge.
So I dissembly my hox and find aout that there is missing flex cable and also 5 golden pins of dock connector are not soldered.
I search that these parts are only dock connectors 5 pins h/w.
But is there a change that they also control wcdma ability?

I'd say that if anythings incomplete in the phone, work to get it back to a normal internal state, after doing that see if the 3G connects.

Anyone else notice a dim screen on their device? It was super bright when I first got it over a year ago. But recently I've been finding myself not able to read anything in daylight, so I decided to order a new phone because an LCD costs as much as a brand new phone. Here are the results:

2 year old Att i257m on left, week old Sprint l520 on right.
Flashed stock ROM back onto Att one last night thinking maybe the ROM failed on me but its just simply dimmer, by a lot. Anyone know how to look up the files that show current brightness levels?
well as an update I noticed the notification bar is brighter than the rest of the screen, It simply looks like it is worn out from use. the notification bar is black when i have browser open and what not so thats why it is unaffected.
I have the T-mobile One M8, and I'm using it on MetroPCS. The phone worked great until I sent it to HTC to get the screen replaced. After receiving the replacement, the location cannot "fix", so apps like google maps or waze just sit at "waiting for location" indefinitely. I tried some different GPS testing apps and it seems like the phone is finding between 12-24 satellites but not connecting to them. (screenshot attached)
So far Ive:
Reset the phone
Toggled: GPS, airplane mode, wifi, mobile data, high/device only location modes.
I even sent it back to HTC and it came back with the same problem.
Android Version
5.0.1
HTC Sense Version
6.0
Software Number
4.20.531.4
Any ideas before I loose the phone for another two weeks returning it to HTC.

Hi!
I've had Zooper since my Galaxy S2. So it's been a while and I'm about up on my Nexus5 so the better half of four years has gone by.
Sad to say Zooper still cannot tell me what my cell signal strength is. The ASU is always 99 and dBm is always 85. It never change changes. It's odd to think I have app called Network Signal Pro that gets this information at the ready. I've attached a screenshot of a simple Zooper widget and a widget from the fore mentioned app.

Hate to kick the dust up but it's not fair that the GSM network devices people have get this info and those on a CDMA network do not. I paid for my app way back when and it'd be nice to see this work. I really can't create anything that has a cell signal in it for myself or anybody since I can't tell if it works.
I hope somebody has some insight into this matter!
Thanks for lending me your ear!
