With the old gray band too

When you go into battery info there is info about your signal strength. What do the different colours mean? I presume green is the best and good, what do all the other colours mean? My battery is best when green. when in low 2g signal area, dark yellow(?) It seems to use more battery as its struggling to hold onto signal?

Green basically means you have a good signal. There are some shades of green, shades of yellow, and then gray, then red. Red means your not connected to your carrier, and you probably are limited to emergency calls (911).
The better your reception, the less power your phone uses. If it can't get a good signal, it increases power and searches for better connections.
Thought that was the case, thanks!

I have some questions regarding the battery graph
When i touch on the battery graph it wil show history details with mobile network signal,gps on,wi-fi and so on.
Mobile network signal shows mostly in green with some red in between where as the rest are all blue.What does these colours indicate?
I flashed XXLH1 radio and only then ive seen this green.Before it used to be blue.
The mobile bar indicates the signal strength, and the other shows how much those features have been used.

so is the green colour good?
Green = full bars, 3 bars = blue, red = 2 bars i guess.
AT&T - 4.1.2, unrooted
I've been trying to figure out what's going on with my battery life overnight. Battery life is good through the day, drops much faster overnight. I've factory reset probably half a dozen times, slowly added apps back, etc. At this point the only thing I can point to is the mobile network signal. Here's my story from yesterday:
Fresh charge to 100% at 9:00 am at work. Very minimal use (to rule out the screen use), even had my google account sync off. At 4:00 pm (7 hours) the battery dropped to 97%, or .4%/hour (excellent). My mobile network signal was constant, according to my battery graph.
I turned my Google accounts on to sync automatically at 4:00, and over the next 6 hours my battery dropped to 89% (1.3%/hour). I could still live with this usage, but I noticed my mobile network went black around 8:30 pm, and see the graph dip a little with it.
So I let the phone go overnight and checked it at 6:00 this morning (8 hours) - battery dropped 22% (2.8%/hour - not acceptable). No other settings were changed, but notice the mobile network being black:
But did I actually lose the mobile connection? GSam doesn't show that I did. And looking at my wife and daughter's S2 (my N2 sat right next to my wife's S2 overnight), their mobile signal is full/good all through the night.
So what the heck does all of this mean? I've watched this happen over different nights - occasionally it doesn't through. Do I have a lemon with a bad radio, or is it the combination of the N2 and AT&T in my location that I'm just going to have to live with? I don't understand this band talk enough - my sim is coded to LTE, but I'm pretty sure we're not in an LTE area. Looking at the graphs, I don't know that that matters though - it looks like it's something with the phone signal.
I have about a week left in my return window (bought it outright thru Amazon). Should I just exchange it? Any other troubleshooting ideas?
Sorry about the text referencing screenshots and using attachments instead - didn't realize I didn't have enough posts to link my external image links.
Thanks
Wrong forum have mod move to at&t forum this is sprint ..sorry

Does the phone cut back on the radio power when not in a call? Because most of the time when i go inside my home (single story home, should be pretty transparent as far as cell signal goes) the signal drops down to one or no bars.
But i've noticed a few times that if I make a call, the signal indicator suddenly jumps up to 3-5 bars.
I get a great signal right outside my house - full bars and download speeds are great 50 down and 10 up usually. But as soon as i go in my house, the bars pretty much disappear, and download speeds drop down drastically, usually down to around 1-4meg down
I happen to also have another note 4 from t-mobile and that phone usually has around 4 bars sitting next to my phone which shows 0-1 bars. Unfortunately i can't compare call quality or download speeds with the t-mobile note 4 since it's not on any active plan.
Xiaomi Mi Band
USD $24.99
Overall 9/10 :
The Xiaomi Mi Band is a fitness band that is comparable to the Fitbit Flex. The band is made by the popular Chinese company Xiaomi renowned for making affordable good quality tech and the Mi Band is no exception, It is comfortable to wear and I often forget that I am wearing it. The band is available from various sources across the internet but I chose Dx.com as they frequently have them on sale ($14 at the time of writing this) and they ship internationally free. The band is of exceptional quality the only area where it is lacking is the tracker sometimes pops out of Band when doing something that required me to more my wrists a lot (Sailing). The Band officially supports IOS and Android with the Mi fit app but there is a more locked down 3rd party app available for the windows phone.
The Band is full of features for such a low price point, as well as being your standard pedometer it track your sleep, Vibrate for alarms and can vibrate and light up when you are getting a call. A massive strong point for the band as the battery life, They say that it can go 30 days on a charge but I charged it up for an hour and a half when I brought it (32 days ago) and it’s still going with 40% remaining. Another good point of the band is that it automatically detects when you are sleeping and starts counting unlike the fitbit where the sleep tracking has to be imported manually. A useless of the band is the leds on the top, They are white only as opposed to the rgb on the previous model and don't turn on unless there is a notification and it vibrates, it would become a lot more useful if you could press the top down and get a rough idea of how many steps you have taken towards your goal as opposed to just lighting up whenever it feels like it.
Pros:
Great Battery life
Silent Alarms (Through Vibration)
Accurate sleep and step tracking (Tested with a Microsoft smart band 2, with the two bands off each other by a difference of 12 steps)
You Can get Notifications from most apps
Came with a replacement band
Cons:
Can only get notifications from 5 apps at a time and you have to have your Bluetooth on for this to happen draining phone's battery life
Device sometimes pops out of the band
Only white LEDS
