Anyone else have this in their status bar area? It shows my network connection twice. By the battery and by the clock. Is that an option that can be turned off?

That's just the way it is.
The left hand side shows the signal strength and the type of network you're connected to (4G+/4G/H+/H/etc), it will also show both networks if you're using dual SIM.
The right hand side shows how you're connected to the internet - cellular or wi-fi, with the cellular indicator also showing whether it's 4G+/4G/H+/H/etc.
So they're technically different but there's some overlap.

That's pretty dumb, but I figured that was normal when I looked at the homescreens of other uses. Thanks.

Can someone please tell me what icon that is in my notification bar that looks like a house with Wi-Fi signal above it?

Apparently it's some sort of "Network Extender", a network extender is some sort of extension placed directly in your house and works like a miniature cell tower or around those lines. Boosts connectivity, quite cool actually. Never heard of it until now and now I want one LOL.
All in all it indicates you're connected to your network extender and or are using it.

DUH! I forgot all about our network extender.
Thanks!!
Hi all,
is a couple of days that my Photon Q have some problems with carrier and data signals.
The phone have SIM mod and running on Wind Italian carrier.
Until one week ago I don't have any problem to use it in GSM (EDGE data connection) or UMTS (HSDPA data connection). Now I'm able to run the phone only with GSM connection. If I choose WCDMA (UMTS) connection the phone lost the signal.
I try to change the configuration a lot of time (and reflashing the ROM, CM 12.1 stable release) without success... only the "GSM only" mode guarantee the phone to connect.
I try to open the cover to perform some chech with the internal antennas... but there is a lot of it!

upper left, upper right, central right, bottom left, bottom... 5 antennas!
+ one in the main board (the black wire in the top of this image):
Now, I'm almost sure that the black wire in the mainboard is the 2G antenna (the phone connect to the GSM signal also without the cover connected)... but the other 5 antenna in the cover?
Do you know where is the UMTS antenna?
It's on the sticker at the bottom, the wide one.
Anyone know how to get rid of this? There's no block option. The only way to get rid of it is to turn it off, which is a shame cause I really like using it.
You might need to be more specific about the nature of the notification. When mine switches on Wi-Fi calling it puts a notification in the pull down area but I can swipe it away. This just leaves the Wi-Fi calling symbol in the status bar.
The notification will reappear next time Wi-Fi calling is activated but I don't find it too much hassle to just get rid of it.

I don't think I have ever seen a way to hide that notification. It annoyed me at first but after a year using wifi calling I don't notice it any more.

Seems each carrier decides what style of notification to use for Wi-Fi calling. I'm on Vodafone UK and as I say you can dismiss theirs. From earlier discussions EE in the UK don't have any notification, just the status bar symbol.

Does anyone know if the GS7 handles weak signals as good as the G6? I used to have a GS7 and bought a refurbished one again for Verizon but it seems like the signal strength isn't as good. it goes from 0-2 bars and HD voice sounds muddy. Is my phone bad or is the GS7 not as good as the G6 with signal strength. I never had signal issues with my G6 in my house. I am trying to figure out if i need to send my phone back to the seller.
Here's my signal strength. Does this look normal for the GS7?

anyone? Can someone tell me if the signal strength and meter matches to yours?
I notice if I toggle flight mode on and off or pull the sim card out the signal gets real good for awhile but then after a few minutes it starts dropping off and not being stable again. even going to Extended Network. Is my phone bad? do i need to send it back. can someone please help me? Also notice now twice i get the circle sign with a line through it then the network slowly comes back up.
I cannot connect to the Internet in the UK with this device. I have got to Sim card, both of which work in an iPhone for data. One has been set up with APN settings as guided by that network. The other not.
With Talkmobile and APN settings there is a circle with a bar where I believe I should see network connection at the top right of the galaxy screen. The main Galaxy dashboard shows 5G but I don’t believe this. Also if I go to software update within settings on the Galaxy it says that no network is available.

Only when the status bar shows the 5G logo, the device can access the Internet. Maybe you should first confirm whether your region supports n77, n78, n41, n28 these 5g frequency bands.
thank you. band 78 is good thanks. got it to work after a while, i just need to wait quite a long while for the status bar to update and show 5g
