Hello! I'm in search of a signal manipulation app, if one even exists.
Why? I don't have a sim card in my phone, so I'd like to have the signal bars show me a "placebo" cellular signal strength. Is this possible to do without masking the icon?
I know that phones that have the status-bar demo mode shows the cellular signal as full/or sometimes empty, so is it possible to have an app control what signal icon is shown on it's own, so that I don't have to see the "No SIM" icon or an empty signal?
(NOTE: I have disabled the "No SIM" icon under System UI Tuner, but it doesn't feel right without cellular signal bars being there.)

I live in an area where my 3G signal strength is often 1 bar or below and is weak but my non 3G signal strength is 4 bars and strong.
Is there an app that I can use to set up when 3G cuts out and reverts to normal GSM signal.. I know I can set 3G to auto switch but it only cuts in when it feels like and often this means my phone is limbo with no 3G signal and no auto option to switch over to GSM and will often just drop my signal mid call at home.. or am I asking too much.. cheers..
When your 3G signal becomes weak it should automatically switch to GSM. If switching between the two is causing your phone to drop calls you can lock your phone to GSM only by changing it via the Comm Manager, tap on "change phone settings" and then "Band" on the bottom.
ok. cheers..
EDIT: Seems when the data services setting is on the phone behaves differently. - Thanks for the input.
Hello all, I am new to this group. Ive learned a lot, and I'm able to get around pretty good as a result of what I've learned here so thanks to you all.
I use SRINT - I have an HTC touch pro2. I've never had a good signal in my home as it's in one of those area's where there is no coverage accoridng to their map. However, I usually have a good enough signal to do most everthing I need to do but still low end..
Yesteray I noticed my 'EV" icon for the first time. Then it went into roaming mode w/ 1xrtt. Never saw this icon either. Today, same thing - except I'm not going into roam mode to often. I don't see any new sattelites up in my area. I have no "signal" icon so there aren't any bars. I'm recieving calls and the reception is incredibly good. However since all I have is the EV, I can't tell what my signal strength is. Can anyone explain this behavior?. I thought I might of hit some buttons accidently and changed some setting unkowingly. thanks
What does satellite have anything to do with cellular coverage. Why don't you have a signal icon? Did you install some weird taskbar? Sounds to me you re just on the edge of 3g so you see ev or 1x. Also 1x isn't roaming it just not 3g data speeds
I don't know. that's why I was asking. I haven't installed anything but Bing and Google maps. When I go into settings->turn on data services, the signal goes out and EV lights up with data transfer showing. Shut off data services, I get my icon back with one bar, EV icon on no data transfer showing. Have no clue what it's doing yet, exc;ept I see no difference in e,ail, internet , messaging, regardless if "data services" are on or off. If I go into "roam" i.e. the roam ICON lights up, then 1x icon is on instead of EV. NOW.. I turned data services off, I got my signal icon. I update the local weather, and the signal icon goes out EV lights up showing data exchange, I look at my seetings and data services is on. Probabaly turned on when I forced the weather to update.
This is so confusing but it sounds like everything is working fine to me. Screen captures of these changes would help because your descriptions are confusing to me.
I have an interesting problem : On my XT925 ( XenonHD rom), I have no signal bar at all while connected to a 4G network(0 db). I can still make call and the signal bar actually appears when I call, but as soon as I hang up the bars go back to 0. While I switch to a 3G or H+ network, I can see my signal bar.
I have no 4G connection problem, data works fine.
I guess its no really a problem... I just wish I could see my signal strength in 4G.
Anyone as ever came across something like that ?

I read that in the change logs of a few ROMs that the 4G signal strength display is a little wonky. If you needed to see the actual signal strength you could you into Settings -> About Phone -> Status. Alternatively, you could change the status bar setting to show numerical signal strength at all times instead of bars.
no luck...

Not working....when I switch to numerical display for the signal strength I get 0 dBm. As soon as I call out or receive a call it goes to -90dBm, stays up for 30 sec. and then goes back to 0.....
On a different note, the satus says that Im connected to LTE while the bar indicator read 4G.

Having the same issue with 4.2/4.3 roms. Thought it might have to do with network. Tried a few different settings, but no fix yet, and I'm not sure all calls come through. Data connection is no problem though. 4G /LTE are inter-changeable. Hopefully there's a fix it somewhere.
Hi,
I just unlocked my phone, and now I have no signal and no service. The little "x" that sits near the signal bar IS NOT present, but I have no signal bars. My phone picks up my SIM card and APN settings correctly.
If I go to search for networks, it tells me that there was an error.
Is IMEI full of random characters or 0's?
I begin by apologizing if it is not the correct place to post.
I have a problem, I have a smartphone orro and it appears the 2G / 3G incone next to the network signal. Even if I activate the mobile data, also appear the signal above the network signal, as usual: H + or 3G.
I wanted to remove those large icons that appear next to the network signal, thus leaving only the traditional icons to appear on the network icon.
Look at the image in the gdrive.

The android version is 5.1.
Thank you. :highfive:
If the option is not available in your device settings you'll need an external tool. Browse the app store for a status bar editor and if you want to dive deep you certainly do it with root.
