I noticed that after the update, I keep seeing these unusual double headed arrows under the signal strength bars. (Under the "3.5G"). Last time, it used to be just 2 single headed arrows, what exactly does this mean?

View 7 Replies View RelatediPhone keeps going from 3G to Edge and then showing no bars. And after I turn off cellular data and put it back on to get back 3G it loses all bars completely and goes to "searching.." and then finally "no network"Â and then I have to manual search for my network. Whole problem starts happening all over after connecting again.
I have an iPhone 5 with latest OS 7.1.2

I have the Nokia E71 On O2.
When i hang around with my mates, the have normal Samsung Or LG phones and they get lets say 4 bars of signal on O2.
I will be standing with them and i get nothing. I feel like my nokia phone is just rubbish on this part.
Or would there be some setting i need to change for it to work? - Or is the phone faulty?
I've been experiencing this strange problem for few weeks with my N8. When I'm receiving or making a call,network signal level drops from full to 2 bars. Happens only when i hold my phone from its lower end(where menu button is located). As long as i hold phone from its upper end(where audio jack is located), signal level is maintained to full bars. Such fluctuations don't occur when phone is lying still somewhERE. Signal starts dropping only when phone is held by its lower end. Happens while accessing 3G too. Is this a normal thing? I checked after changing SIM and switching to another network provider. Still the same.

T-mobile asked me to send the phone back but there is a major scratch on the screen so they told me my return warranty was void now.So far I have a $400 paper weight. Anyone fix this issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows what algorithm is used for the signal bars on the Photon 4G. I have found that there seems to be no correlation between the signal strength (in dBm / asu) in Settings -> About phone -> Status and the signal bars that are shown. Often the signal bars will shoot from 1 to 5 or 6 even with really low signal ( ~97 to > 100 dBm) that doesn't fluctuate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have tried this on 3 different Nokia E6 phones, on GPRS with 5bars, 3G with 5bars and at home over wifi. All internet traffic is really slow, when on the browser downloading the SIS file for google maps, it took 5mins to download just 160k. Once I did get it installed, the Google Maps app take ages to load map tiles, and emails take about a minute to download an email with just a few lines of text.
When using OVI store, pages load really slow. So all internet apps are slow. The phone overall is quick. All this in an edge or 3G area with 5bars, and 3 phones do the exact same. All firmware ver 22.14. Same settings, area and sim card in my Nokia E71 and E72 are perfect.
I need help getting cell tower reception on my phone. Using China Unicom as Network Carrier. I am located in Guangzhou China (a major metropolis). The problem is not with the SIM Card itself because it has been tested and placed in other phones & it works well. Reception Bars fluctuate between 0-2 bars at most, both in and outdoors.Have noticed these problems since upgrading the phone to IOS 5.0 & now also on 5.1.1. No problem with Wi-Fi Networks. I have also tried Resetting the Network & taking out the SIM Card and putting it back in, but this has not helped.

Well I have found a way to easily switch your signal bars on your status bar from regular bars to db's and back whenever you want. Well I'm on the latest beta of 4.1 (8b5097d) on IPhone 4 and it does have feild test (maby it's just because I restored from my 3GS but idk). So go to your phone app and then to the keypad. Then type *3001#12345#* and press call, this will put u in field test app. At the top I can tap the bars and it will switch to db's and if tapped again it will go back. So once u tap to change to db's hold the sleep button till slide to power pops up then let go of the sleep button and hold the home button (this is a respiring). Once u do that u can just easily tap the bars or db's and switch where ever you are in your phone. Good luck hope it works on all your phones. And ps you don't need to be jailbroken!
View 24 Replies View RelatedI purchased an unlocked Sony Xperia Z3 yesterday. I placed my sim in it but the phone keeps saying that there is no service and there is currently no bars. When I try to call it says I am in flight mode even though it is off. I had a friend who had this problem but it fixed itself.

yesterday morning my Sony z3 was working great when all of a sudden the signal dropped and said no service. It has been 24 hours now and still nothing. I restarted the phone many times, did a factory reset, updated software, fixed software and left it off for a while.

Before the software update to 2.1 I could tell what kind of signal strength I had (i.e. 3G or G etc) now I have a H, but I don't have any idea of what it means.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having this problem a lot since I got the phone. If I am out especially in building where it shows good signal it take it forever to load data. text goes through fine but data takes forever. Much slower than my 3GS why is this? Is it my phone or are others getting this?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI received my iPhone 4 on launch day via a pre-order. I am very grateful to have it and to have received it while others still try to get one. Anyway, onto the issue. I had signal drop issues from the get go, occasionally even a few dropped calls. Per Apple's statement and other blog recommendations I bought a case to alleviate the issue. It's the Griffin Reveal. It is a nice case too. Last night I noticed low signal bars after a dropped call and realized I was holding it over the left corner. I let go and up went the bars.
I called care. They opened a case # and gave me the same as anyone else. I was told that I needed a bumper to fix the issue, that they couldn't guarentee with any third party case it would fix the issue. I responded asking why I should give another $30 to fix an issue they know about. I asked if I would recieve and email or call to follow up and they said they didn't know. I will follow up in 2 days and let you know. Is this a ploy to just get people to spend more money? 1.7 million sold in three days x $30 for a bumper = $51 million more for.
I have been searching for a way to remove or hide signal bars in ios4. I will often have very low bars and keep looking & thinking about it. But most of the time my IPhone 4 works as I need it to. I would like to remove or hide the bars, out of sight out of mind.
View 18 Replies View RelatedOn my 3GS the signal bars are sporadically cycling down to one bar, then searching, then no service, then back to full 3G bars. All this happens in about the time span of 10 seconds or so. Anyone else have this issue on a 3GS that's jailbreak / unlocked! I've removed the blackrain app off the phone, winterboard and the issue continues to persist.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSome times my phone stops making and recieving calls. It looks like it is working, shows it has signal on the bars, for a while, then they disappear.I have tried hard and soft resets and restoring the phone. Usually if I leave the phone over night it starts working again in the morning so I figured it might have been a carrier issue. I am using GiffGaff but the phone was purchased directly from Apple and is factory unlocked. When this happens, if I make a call it looks like it is about to start making the call, but never changes; If you his the end call button it says Ending call... but freezes like this until you restart the phone or kill the phone app. I have tried my sim in my wifes phone and it works fine, I am unable to try anyone elses as they don't wish me to butcher their sims My phone acted exactly like this once when GiffGaff had issues one weekend, once they sorted their issues it has worked fine since.
I am a good 70 miles or so from a Genius bar and never really wanted to send the phone away in the post, as likely it'd take over a week to get it back, how ever, as my phones no longer functioning as a phone, I guess it isn't much of an issue any more If I could fix this myself I think it'd be great but I have started to get the feeling maybe it is some hardware issue with the phone.

I have been experiencing too many call failures lately. It seems that I have enough bars. If I do a hard reset, the phone acts better for a short time, then the call failures come back. I have ATT.

My iphone 4s was working fine then stopped making calls. It shows 02 as carrier but no signal bars. I swapped out the sim and tried it in my husbands spare iphone 4s and it works fine. I have done a reset 3 times now.

I have been pretty happy with my iPhone 4 up until today but I have discovered a bit of a problem.When I touch the bottom left of the phone the signal drops 1 - 2 bars.It has not been dropping calls but I dont think my phone should be doing this. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

My battery icon from time to time moves to the left. I've done some search but couldn't find if anyone else is having a similar issue. I'm on 4.0 iphone 4 stock. Jailbroken, Unlocked. I'm not sure if I remember this occurrence before the jailbreak.
View 20 Replies View RelatedIt has very poor signal reception among all phone I've ever used. I can never get full bar for wcdma, even in gsm only, the signal bar could drop to zero. Do not say it's a simcard or network provider problem because I had try everything like put my sim card in other phone, try another simc ard in my phone. I even make a comparison with xperia play and the xplay does not have this problem. Today I'm updating my phone with the latest update from pc companion, it still did not solve the problem..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having an awful time loosing cellular data - can't send or receive text messages, use Safari or Find my Friends etc. I came into the forums looking for help and found posts about the personal hotspot constantly spinning. I looked at mine and it was too. I did a hard reset and it finally stopped. Immediately I got connectivity back. I don't know if that is causing my loosing internet or not but it seems coincidence that when it stopped spinning I got it back.Simply going into and out of airplane mode and toggling cellular data on and off never restores connectivity. Often it will restore when I leave the building. But I have 3-4 bars of signal and 4G listed as available when I'm inside.Also, something is chewing up my battery. I was at 100% when I left the house at 8 am and at 65% at 10 am with the phone sitting on the desk doing nothing.

What does a flashing blue triangle above the signal bars mean? I still have a blue 3g but no signal bars.
