I am looking for an app or mod that would allow you to change the range of dbm that the signal indicator responds to, i.e., rather than having a range of -130dbm(low) to -50dbm(high) to determine how many bars are shown, change the values to -120dbm to -80dbm.
Anyone come across something like that?
Thanks!

Have anyone noticed the small lil icon next to Signal strength with the letter [G]?
Is there a reg. tweak that could eliminate it? Or even temp. hide it?

Just shows that you have a GPRS signal. It is not a problem.
Thanx iggy. Given the fact that it reflects the GPRS signal. Even if the radio is off, the networking icon still appears. I've got a friend whos used to no icon on the Himalaya and now having that on the Magician it irritates him!!
Just like Wisbar, it is removable and put back again :wink:
I've updated to the official HTC ICS release, using the flashable ROMs created on here from the OTA file.
All is great, loving ICS so far.
One thing I've noticed, the little icon on the top bar to show I am connected to a wifi point is grey, with just the little circle bit white , as though it was a low signal strength. This is with it next to the router. Apps like network signal info aren't showing any signal %age at all, not even a 0. It's working fine though, speedtest apps give excellent scores.
When I go into wifi settings and scan for access points, those are correct. My router is fully white, whilst ones around on the street are various levels of whiteness.
It's just that notification icon, and the signal strength in apps, that is not showing.
Any ideas?
Reboot, and then it's back to normal.

Are you kidding? As the phone is rebooting I'm thinking did they mean the phone or the router. When the phone comes back on and all my bars are there I'm like could it have been simpler? No I guess it couldn't have.
Heylo,
Curious if anyone has a power / notification bar that has dB rating for signal strength? I'm looking to find a good bar that has most everything in a nice readable format instead of graphs...Personally would love to see the signal strength and battery in numerical values.
Just testing the water. =-)

that would have to be made, the tweaks i wanted to port over would of giving us that mod but i was told i wasn't able to port that tweak app I'm sure there is an app in the market that can give you the DB mod, I miss it my self

I just downloaded the open signal map app which shows db and tower locations

As it is now, the colors of the wifi/mobile signal bars are white (in the status bar), and if you want to check to see if you're receiving data for either wifi/mobile you have to swipe down and go into quick settings. If you're not receiving data, it will be orange.
Is there a way for the signal bars in the status bar to also show orange? Or another color letting you know instantly you're not receiving data for either wifi or mobile?
The reason I ask is because last night my internet went down for a couple hours. The wireless router was on, thus showing full white bars for wifi in the status bar, even though I was actually not receiving internet. It was only after not receiving any notifications for awhile (including texts because when the wifi/mobile data are on at the same time both go down) when I swiped down into quick settings and noticed full reception for both wifi/mobile but both were orange.
It would have been nice to know immediately via the status bar with a change in signal color from white to orange. Is there something I'm missing? Is it possible to change?
Cheers!

Only way to change colors is themes from theme chooser, xposed modules, etc with root. Normally, no, not on stock unless you do the root. Signal status in status bar is feature of some ROMs as well if you flash but beyond that, no.
Does anyone know where in the system I can adjust the values to display when I have a certain strong signal?
For example, I'm in a new build of Lineage and it can fluctuate between 0 and 4 bars randomly and doesn't necessarily correspond with actual signal strength (which should be based off dBm values.)
I'm thinking it's smali code somewhere within SystemUI.apk after it is decompiled. Does anyone here know where to look? I'm terrible with reverse Java engineering.
