Can anyone with 3G version of the tab check what is shown under Settings > About tablet > Status > Signal strength?
On my device it seems to show the correct value for dBm but the asu shows always 4 (even when Airplane mode is on).
This problem seems to affect Mobile network signal info on battery history sceen also.
I just want to know if all devices have this problem or is it just me.
I attached two sceenshots to show what i'm talking about.
sorry, this is a bit unrelated to what you asked and possibly idiotic but where in this world did you get a 3g version of the tab?
thanks!
i got my 3g 16g 10.1 in Singapore last week

I ordered it from http://www.cyberport.de/ but it seems they are also out of stock now.
My Tab is showing 4 asu in both 3G mode and flight mode. dB is -55dBm on 3G and -113dBm on flight mode which i think is normal/expected.
not sure about asu though.
hi,
i have the 10.1v (3g model ) and Signal strength shows -83dBm , the asu , fluctuates /moves,between 16,15 14 or 13
point ,as i see it,the asu should fluctuate slightly, from time to time ( as signal strength varies ??)
something for nothing !

ASU or Active Set Update is an integer value proportional to the received signal strength measured by the mobile phone. So the ASU should change when the dBm changes. On my device the dBm seems to show the correct values, but ASU is stuck at 4. It seems that all European GT10.1 have this issue. It's probably a software issue because the dBm seems to be reported correctly and the ASU value should be calculated.

I am subscribing to a GSM 3G service.
I noticed that Jade's signal reception is a bit weak. In the area where I am living, my 3G signal reception shows only 1 bar whereas a Kaiser (in the same house) shows 3 bars. And intermittently it goes to "no service".
Does anyone else experience the same problem ?
+1 : same signal reception.
With an Herald (P4350 without 3G) i had 3 ou 4 bars on gsm...
+1
my old Cruise/polaris htc better than jade in reception3g
+1
I'm very sad because i love my jade but he's a little bit weak in signal reception...
what can we do ?
To me, it seems the same as with HTC Artemis.

yep 3g signal reception is too bad on jade.. when i sent it for htc, they just replaced the main board, but still the 3g reception is poor, so i switched to GSM.
Okay so i've got an aria rooted and flashed with the Liberated 2.2 rom. I've been using it for the past 3 months and I've noticed that I will go from full service while a phone call is comming in and complete signal loss when I answer it. I have set the phone on a table and watched the network signal strength go from -113 dBm and 0asu to -81 dBm and 16asu and vise versa. I have also noticed that when I lose signal my "H" for the data goes with it and service comes back a few seconds later very strong but showing "G". From there it will go to "E" then back to "H".
Could anyone explain this or have a better reason as to why this is happening? Maybe its just based on the connection where I live but I've used the app Antennas and the tower is about 1/3 mile away.
Any info or help would be awesome
Thanks
i'm not sure why this would happen outside of a poor bit of service where you're living.
i used the various roms for the aria and never had any sort of service loss issue.
as far as the icons switching around, e = edge network (2g), h = hspa (3g). when your phone drops its connection, it tries to reconnect as fast as possible, usually with edge, then after its strong it looks for the 3g connection.
I have Saunalahti service provider which works in Elisa's network and the signal is very poor and I think this problem appeared after updating to .35 kernel. Now I have AuroraICS, but the same problem was with miui.
The AP is very close, I can actually see the mast and I used to have very good signal. Also weird is that signal can sometimes be like -98 dbm 8 asu, and suddenly at the same spot it changes to -107dbm and 3 asu or 0 asu. So what could I do? Is there any boost for signal or changing the air interface? Just feels like it's automatically changing something and that's why signal gets suddenly weak?
I realize this is a longshot, but I pretty much have 1-2 bars of LTE and 4-5 bars of HSPA+ everywhere. The issue is the signal meter always shows the LTE signal strength, so I have no idea how many HSPA+ bars I have at a given location , which gives me no indication of how reliable my phone calls are going to be.
To give an example, I could be stareing at my phone with Zero or 1 bars of LTE, and as soon as I recieve a phone call it switches to HSPA+ display and it has full bars.
I actually disable LTE completely because seeing 1 bar all the time as my signal just annoys the heck out of me. It would be nice if i could have 2 signal meters or some other workaround...

Just leave it on LTE. Whether LTE or H+, your signal strength for calls remains the same. You've only got one data connection, so multiple meters wouldn't be possible anyway. A better indication is your dBm/ASU numbers. You can find apps/widgets that display this information without having to go into your settings.
I have the SM-G920F and the 4G signal bars are correct, but the dBm signal is not. It always shows -113dBm 0 asu no matter what signal I have:

It prevents apps like Network Signal Info, Rootmetrics & LTE Discovery from working, as they cannot read the LTE signal. Using the service menu found by dialing *#0011# I can see the correct signal, but it's not shown in the Android settings and no apps can read the correct signal.
This isn't a problem on my Galaxy S4 with stock touchwiz lollipop 5.0.1.

I wonder if this could affect battery life in any way. If those apps you mentioned can't function correctly because of the weak signal, maybe some other system app is experiencing the same thing, which leads to battery drain?
