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.

For about the last two weeks anything on my phone that uses the cell tower positioning to figure out location keeps saying I'm in Nashua, in New Hampshire... I live in Dallas, Texas. A little ways off for sure.
My biggest problem with this is I have a weather widget on my homeacreen that I let be set based on geolocation because I live and work in two different cities. But as I said, recently it just shows Nashua.
I haven't done anything to my phone since or right before this started, so I don't even know what to look at. Any help or advice would rock.

maybe there's something wrong with the gps locating on the current rom your on, or maybe whatever app your using for the weather doesn't read the gps data correctly....have you tried finding your location with google maps and see if it locates you correctly??
Are you running the mock location option in settings/developer options, which I think is right with the rom you have listed.
Have you tried using this gps patch?

Works pretty well for me, flash it everytime I flash a new rom...
I live outside of Atlanta Ga and mine tells me I'm in Warsaw occasionally. I've lived in Georgia almost twenty years and don't think there's a Warsaw around here. Poland seems like a long distance to have the weather from though. Kinda funny

fix
1-install and open
2-hit on look for apns sitting for your sim , another menu will pop to pick you apns
3- hit any one thats will pop another menu with sitting (you can apply it or GO TO ANDROID APPS SITTINGS)
AND HERE IS THE CATCH.
hit it thats when you see two apns sittings
go to the first one and apply the default or what you add
then go to second one and apply the default again .or what you
thats will fix the apns in the phone and the signal and data stays on all the time
i try this in t mobile us
hope this work for others

Agreed but do you mean that data won't sleep after this?
I understand the instructions: effectively you use the suggested app to access the apn settings of your phone. it shows that there is two different apn settings, and by setting them both to default will fix the data connection problems.
I tried this, however it has had no effect on my phone. tested extensively as I am in hospital just now and haven't been off my phone.
Vodafone UK, HTC one S S4, rooted with stock 4.0.4 android.
Easiest/quickest fix I've found is to change connection type to GSM only, then back to CDMA once the phone signal resets. bloody annoying though, surprised that there isn't a fix for this yet.
Thought I put this here, in case someone has the same issue.
Just got my Orange UK S4. Orange also run a 4G network called EE, and my phone is EVR ie EE network coded.
My contract is NOT on the 4G network, since I didnt need it.
My first attempt at using the internet connection (away from wifi) was a download of a 1.5meg PDF attachment in the email app, and it was ridiculous slow, like it took 5 mins
Also the browser was not responding or downloading data at all.
So had a brain wave and went into network settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ and changed from 2g/3g/4g, to "2g/3g"
and this solved the issue perfectly.
I think the problem is that in the 4G mode, the phone keeps trying repeatedly (like for every packet) to connect in 4g, and gets rejected by the network, so downshifts to 3g or HDSPA for downloading one packet, and repeats the whole merry cycle...
Hope this might some confusion for others in the future.:laugh:
More likely that the phone was camped onto an Orange 3G bts initially. By swapping network type selection you forced it to pick up a tmobile site....remembering that tmobile and orange share each others networks now under the banner of EE.
A lot of orange sites were never that fast anyway, even worse now the join with tmobile. They are relying a lot more on the tmobile 3G sites.

On T-Mobile here and switching LTE off makes absolutely no difference to my speeds :/ Ran a test with LTE on and off and I get 10Mb on and off.

OP here!
The first download was crazy slow, 1000 times slower than when I was on the pure Orange network, but it seems fixed now, and on my new rom flashed yesterday, it seems ok.
Completely agree about the orange/EE service at present. It has become terrible, I think they are shoving all subscribers onto one network, and its becoming harder to make a call without it dropping etc... And this is in West London!
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
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.

better to report it to LineageOS support.
I recommend Resetting your phone Or if you can wait for new update
