Anyone else having this? The only icons I have in my status bar on the right are:
WiFi
Battery
Battery percentage
If I turn off WiFi, I only have battery and battery percentage.
Is this an Android 10 thing? My wife has the exact same device, same carrier, just a bigger storage, yet her Pixel 2 XL has the signal bars in the status bar.

Have you confirmed that LTE is on? My phone shows a triangle with bars; if I turn off wifi and I have an LTE signal, it also shows lte.

Might wanna hide that phone number my friend
You can try getting a "network switcher" that does 4G & 3G and goes into the "secret" network settings, and toggle between "CDMA auto (PRL)", and then back to "LTE/CMDA/UMTS auto (PRL)".
I do this all the time to force 3G and then to re-enable 4G/LTE...Hope this helps...

as you may know the "E" is 2g not 3g. When it is 3g it will say "3g" or "H", "H" being faster than "3g".
your wifi goes into "sleep" mode when not being used, helps on battery life, when your phone demands a connection it will take the wifi out of sleep if try to connect and if it does you will see the wifi icon, and if you are not an area that has wifi it will revert back to your data connection.

that's very odd because i have never seen the H ever since i flashed the rom, but the 3g setting is set to be 'on', but that setting disappeared and i dont knkow how to get back to it. is there a way to turn on 3g?

Not always.
AT&T purposely does not show the H and always shows 3G even if it is a HSDPA connection.
since i flashed w/ a new rom, there's no more 3g icon, but i did figure out how to bring the H back, but for some reason i have no idea why my wifi isn't working. someone told me to disable proxy, but i did that

that is true on a stock ATT ROM, but if you flashed a custom ROM it will display correctly

have you tried going to settings>wifi> click "turn on Wi-FI" select wireless networks and see if you phone detects any networks? If there is a network available then select it and set it up.
did you hard reset after you flashed?
New to Android phones, (I did a search but nothing was found), I was connected to Vodafone yesterday and there has never been a 3G Icon in the notification Bar (Network Signal has the 4 full bars)
When I am at home I use a Vodafone sure signal for 3G but it does not show in the notification bar either, (obviously I am connected to 3G when at home)
My network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA auto, so have I done something wrong or can some suggest how I can have this Icon showing.
I had the same issue - called up support and had them change my SIM card to the new one that came with the phone and since then I now get up to H depending if I'm in a decent area of Liverpool...

Thanks for the reply, this was a new sim card supplied with the phone I moved from T-Mobile to Vodafone so I could use the SureSignal to get rid of the crappy signal in the house.
Just solved the problem, if you switch off Wi-Fi then go into "settings/Mobile network connect to the internet it appears on the notification bar"
I thought you'd have it on already - glad you're sorted though!
I have only seen 'H' in my toolbar and none of the other notification (3G etc) mentioned in the manual there. Normal? Or do I just have a good connection?

The H means you have the HSDPA connection which is quicker than standard 3G. 3.5G if you will
ive also never seen a 3g icon, had the H and G one before
I use to get a 'H' on my kaiser
but on on my desire on Orange. I get a '3G+' symbol now. is this the same as 'H'?

Guys, remember that Android works differently from WIndows Mobile.
On WIndows mobile, you had the G, E, 3G or H all the time showing what signal you had. Android does not do that.
The 3G/H icon only appears when connected to the internet. the rest of the time it just shows signal bars.
And yeah, if wifi is on it will disconnect from the internet and that icon will disappear. cos after all, as long as you have signal when just using voice and text, it doesn't really matter whether it's 3G or not.
And Yes, 3G+ is the same as H. 3G+ is Orange's stupid marketing speak for HSDPA.
I have constant 'G' which changes to 3G/H when in areas that allow it...phone works fine so no issues since changing my SIM card
I am also experiencing this problem and to clarify it:
Sometimes (i think it has something to do with using camera) the animation stops working (the arrows stays shadow even if i am downloading) or the 3h/h icon disappears completely (but i am still connected to mobile data).
Disconnecting and reconnecting mobile data (e.g. swithing to wifi and back, rebooting phone or turning airplane on and off) solves this problem and the animated 3g/h icon (arrows are white when downloading and shadow when connection idle) is back.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem permanently?
I have had no such a bug on my Milestone
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

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.

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.
Hi xda,
With your forum I decided to own this magnificent Note 10.1 2014 SM-P601, I am the 1st customer of this product in my city !
After installing couples of apps I got Signal strength icon on top right in notification bar. How is that possible? I did not inserted any sim card in this tab & it's showing signal bar. I have have installed some apps but not sure which one made it.
I have attached screen shot of my screen. Please help me out.

Try enabling flight mode. Mine shows the signal bar of the network it was factory locked to.

yes, in flight mode signal strength icon is gone, but after disabling flight mode signal strength icon comes back. Strange thing is that signal icon do fluctuate as if network signal goes weak or strong.
Shall I check by inserting sim into my device?

Now after inserting sim, signal strength icon is same, no change in it. Does fluctuates, becomes blocked after resuming from flight mode for 2-3 sec until it catches network. But now unable to make call.

It's is new micro sim which I brought last week for this device. It works normal with other mobile.
I think it's problem with registration, either of product or sim.
