I think it's when you have a data connection (or wi-fi) on, the signal bar turns green. Data connection off it's white.

I guess the data connection is not always on. What I have been looking in to it, it only gets white, when I don't have the connection active.

green - connected to google sync servers
white - not connected to google sync servers

Thankss very much... so its normal when bar get white or something wrong with my phone?

depends on the quality of service your provider is providing...
mine is normally green all the time but if I saw it going on and off all the time ( excluding me switching between wifi and 3g all the time ofcourse ) I suspect there something wrong with my data connection... bad reception, inactive connections get closed ( some providers do this ), bad service quality

Problem with Wifi in a MWg Atom life or maybe just wm6

Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

well here is something thats interesting.
installed wefi to see if it fixes things and that Wi-fi icon has disappeared... renamed to network cards :S ( i think) whats going on am i losing settings link heh.
Still cannot connect to tother wifi's , with wefi not even my own :S lol
( might as well ask what backup software i should look into that will back up the rom as well since i feel i should go 6.1, or point me into the right direction for a tutorial to extract my own rom )
Update: uninstalled wefi.
icons back to before state. good.
heres what i got in my connections tab. can some one tell me if i am missing something:
band switch
beam
bluetooth
cell broadcast( what is this feature..thx)
connections
csd line type
grps setting
sms setting
usb to pc ( why does this never work- have to use wm5torage
wi-fi
wifi utility
and mwg wireless manager ( btw when u click wifi in it- it does not change status of wifi only LED turns on )
try to change best performance or normal cpu profile

first , take a look the state bar signal , it is full . however , when you take a look the battery graph , the Mobile Network Signal shows no connect . and the network signal app says it is good signal range.
however , some times the state bar signal go 0-1 bar for like 1 hour , and i log with network signal app , it shows good signal all the time. is that the app is not true or the sta bar signal and the graph is not reliable. i should consider which result to test the radios.
i use ucalc4 in bay area California.
if anyone live near me , please recommended a radio for me , thanks.
Sometimes the battery doesn't show signal for some reason. My general guess is your radio sometimes switches between different frequencies and one of them got bad signal. Try flashing rogers radio and check each frequency, you may find that it's better to simply pick one and stay on it for constant good signal.

[Q] anyone know what this icon is?

I'm sure some people are going to thing I'm dumb, but does anyone know what this icon is? My first thought was home something like home wifi but that doesn't make sense and the only two times I have seen it was at a tattoo parlor and at work.

Settings, about, help, icon glossary. I believe it means you are somehow connected to a network extender
I'm quite sure that is a 'network extender', what it does is it extends your mobile data to give you better signal, sort of like a little mini 4g tower or whatever.
A lot of companies have their buildings wired with network extenders for poor service indoors.... Basically makes it voip for calls, But you will only get 1x/3g data speed, depends on which extender they use

I would have done this but I get a toast message or whatever the message is called now saying " unable to find activity to hold this action“
Thank u for the advice about the extender.

I can confirm that it's a network extender. We have a vacation home in a very poor service area and my previous employer agreed to supply one so that I would be reachable by cell phone (we pretty much live at the vacation house from April through September). The only time I see that icon is when I'm there, and it disappears when I get 30-50 meters away from the house.
I left that company but was told to keep the extender, which is great . . . without it my battery drain is astronomical as the phone would seek and attempt to hold a signal.

Both WiFi and data signal show

Hi everyone. Not sure if this is normal or not but whenever I connect to my WiFi at home, I have the data signals that stay in the statusbar. Sometimes the LTE signal will show and disappear. Not sure if both data and WiFi are being used or not

Looks like you have an active text messaging app running. Is this web based or communicating via the network? If network based, this is the reason both indicators are showing in this screenshot.

Not sure what you mean by web based or network but I didn't have any text messaging app running other than the stock app. Also its been three days that's its been like this.
I just rebooted the phone and its now gone. Don't know why I didn't try that first
That isn't the stock messaging app in your status bar or home screen. What I mean is what medium it utilizes to transmit the message. Is it your carrier (3G/LTE) or is it transmitted using data through the web?

Ah I understand what you mean. The sms app in the homescreen is actually the stock app but I'm using an icon theme so that's why it looks different. As for the icon in the statusbar, its just blackberry messenger.
So far it hasn't showed up again after I rebooted. I will report back if it happens again and see what might cause it

Strange signal strength icon and NO SERVCICE! Not good!

Sony z5 6653
Hello everyone. After updating to the newest Lineage I now have this symbol in my service status. The signal strength with a small x in the bottom. NOT over, but in the bottom. See attached pic. Can't find this anywhere on Sony's website OF COURSE, or anywhere on the internet. And I have no internet now since noticing this. Just regular phone service. Yes, cellular data is on. And no data . And no, there are no data limits set. They are off in fact. See attached again. And no, there are no network restrictions and yes the phone bill is paid. What is this and how do I make it go away and how do I get my data service back? All I can use right now is wifl. Hope you can see the pics below. I don't see them but says they are uploaded. The icon I am describiing is the signal strength bars and it Lte and the part that is the problem is the small x in the lower right corner . Again, the X is not above the icon but below lower right.
Any help is appriciated.

I recommend Resetting your phone Or if you can wait for new update
