I ask this in theme area and ppl think it might be a dev thing. I'm wondering if its possible to change ur signal bars over to use the 6 bars with correct readings. I am able to change icon names to get DI to use them but only 5 bars including no signal to work.

I've noticed this since using EA28 and EB01. Sometimes my signal strength will go from 2-3 bars to one or zero for a few seconds then back up to its previous level. Yet when I go into About Phone's status it still shows the signal strength in the mid -80s during those seconds. I've studied the bars and they seem like they translate to: -75 and stronger =4 bars, -85 thru -76=3 bars, -95 thru -86=2 bars, -100 thru -96=1 bar, and -101 and weaker=0 bars.
Any ideas why this is happening?

I think I figured it out. The signal bars alternate between the data signal strength and the voice signal. When there is up/down arrows it's showing the data signal, and when it's showing D for dormant it switches back to voice signal. Apparently the voice signal in my area is stronger where I live.

I usually get good cellphone reception except at home but my home is in the middle of nowhere. certain spots there is a 3 bar 3g signal.and.in other spots there are.NO bars at all. Anyone know of a modification either to.the phone physically I could do? A rooted app or something like that? Or even know how to make a signal repeater or something similar .... Any solution would be VERY much appreciated!

There are signal boosters that you can use depending on your provider.
If you have good wifi just use internet calling. Do some looking around online.
I have 0 reception at home. Before I get home every day I just call forward all my calls to my Google voice number... which runs through pbxes.org and ru s through my cell phone. Even my outbound calls show as my cell number.

im using paranoid android at the moment and i want to add more than 4 signal bars to my status bar anyone know of a mod that can help me
Sprint does this thing where they display "3G" even when the phone is only connected using 1xRTT.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the phone show 1x for 1xRTT and 3G for EVDO and eHRPD? There's a big difference between 1x and EVDO (60-130Kbps vs 750-1800Kbps) where I live and it'd be nice to know at a glance without having to open Settings->About->Status->SIM Status
Signal check will show what band/ connection type in status bar.
This Signal Check? Is that a pro-only feature? I'm not seeing anything about status bar in the Lite version of that app.
An app running in the background is ok, but I'm really more interested in something like flashing a new icon or changing a hidden setting or something. I'm currently on stock rom, but would changing ROMs fix the icon?
Yep looks like it's pro only
I found the free version of LTE Discovery can also do this, it just doesn't start on bootup.
