Strange signal strength icon and NO SERVCICE! Not good! - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 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

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] CM 10 issues

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone is experiencing these issues after flashing to CM 10 (nightly or M2) and if you are experiencing them have you found a fix.
1. When I am in a 4G LTE area my service drops and keeps switching between 3G and H+ but it never picks up LTE.
2. It takes a really long time to send a MMS.
3. Screen times out when typing in the quick reply box for texting.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, it seems kept only getting 4G the other day regardless what I did. After reregistering my network (Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network operators -> AT&T) now every time I text it would go 3G/HSPA+ then back to 4G so I though that was normal.
I don't get any lag when I'm texting anyone. and when I go to quick reply it screen doesn't time out.
This is on the 101412 build. I did reinstall my stuff last night to get the new gapps 101112 but I doubt that would've made any difference.
I would try re-registering your network and see if that helps any.

I just re-registered. I'll wait for a few hours to see if I notice any differences. Hopefully that'll fix some of my issues.

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.

[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.
