Does anybody know what this icon means? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It appears occasionally in my notification bar but I don't know what it means. It looks like a house with Wi-Fi coming out of the top maybe?

not sure what network you are with but it could be viop or phone is acting as hotspot, just a guess.

Could it be Miracast?
I don't have Miracast enabled devices at home, so I'm just guessing...
Cheers!

I don't think I have any miracast devices on my network and I'm definitely not in mobile hotspot now. Running on Verizon

Do you have a Verizon Network Extender?

Nope... maybe someone in my building does though. I'll check what I'm connected to next time it comes up

Yup, someone nearby has a VZN Network Extender and you're connecting to it.

T-Mobile LTE down?

I have had the LTE fix on my phone for about two weeks now and today it is not showing up. Is 4G down in the LA area? Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm over in the IE, and LTE is going strong.
This is really weird. All the APN settings and the radio is still there. Nothing has changed except I'm just not getting 4G anymore

Have you rebooted lately? I know if I reboot, then the setting in 4636 changes to WCDMA Preferred. I have to go back and change it to LTE/GSM, then turn the radio off and back on before it will connect to LTE.
Not sure if that is normal, but that's what happens to me.
I just did a factory wipe and I rebooted everything works now. Really weird though. It happened right after I put LTE on my girls Nexus 4 and it's not working on hers right now either. I'll wipe hers when I get home I guess.

I get those speeds on occassion in chicago but that doesn't really even matter. the LTE signal seems to penetrate building better.

I noticed that, it still isn't where I need it to be but it's definitely gotten better.
These are my speeds, not the highest but I'm happy with them! I'm in NYC, btw

3G disconnects when on the phone

It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal
Are other phones like this?

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android
If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.

Like wise is there an App that lets you pick what radio's to use? Coming from my old Thunderbolt running CM there was the ability to pick Global, Global + LTE, LTE, CDMA/LTE, CDMA, etc. Sometimes i need to force my phone into LTE mode only when I'm on the very edge of coverage to get it.
ill bump as well...

I've tried a bunch but none of them can access the radio settings - they all error out. Hopefully someone has found one that works...

Xperia Z1s from Tmobile

Quick question is there going to be a new thread for this device, the Tmobile Z1s? Also do any of the rooting,unlocking, and or any custom recoveries and roms work with the Z1s?

No sub forum for Z1s, no unlock bootloader, no root, no cutom recovery as of yet. And no you can't use international Z1 stuff,itll brick your device.
Thanks

Thanks, good to know as I was planning on flashing the generic Canada firmware hoping to get rid of some restrictions (tethering) and bloatware.

Ah that's a bummer. Just swapped out my Z for the Z1s today and of course I'm came here first to see how to go about getting other FW on it for those exact reasons. Hopefully patience will pay off.
I have a question for Xperia z1S owners. Does this phone have hardware support for FM Transmitting? I don't have a car with an aux cable or Bluetooth so.. All of the music on my phone is inaccessible when I'm driving. But I'm hoping that the FM receiver can be made to transmit either natively or via 3rd party app?
I personally have the Z1s, and it has a built-in FM chip. You have to have a aux cable plugged into the 3.5mm jack for it to work though.

Why can't we get a sub-forum? There is like 4 different forums for the Galaxy S4 and the different carriers, same for Note III? There is enough difference between Z1 international and Z1s to warrant difference.

Ah but can you transmit to your cars radio onto an unused radio station? I know it can receive radio, but can it transmit your music through unused FM stations?

Just gave mine a shot. Turned it on, called my friend once the blue phone icon was up, icon turned green, call connected and worked fine. Afterwards I got a pop up saying congratulations you just completed your first wifi call.
Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk
I read something about it not working if you don't have a 911 address on file. Mine works wonderfully btw. No more buzz from my n4
My only issue is the led is weird. Hads different colors depending on the angle

Do you have an old sim or your 911 address not updated on your account? One of them could be the reason. Go to a tmobile store they will fix it up for you.

Anyone aware if anyone is even trying to root or unlock our boot loader?

Anyone else has 4G icon randomly appear when connect to wifi?

As the title. Does your AT&T Samsung s7 edge get the random 4G signal appear when on WiFi? Only happens with home wifi and it's super annoying. Never happened on t-mobile s7 edge. Any suggestions?

It happens to me sometimes. I found that restarting your device fixes it. I haven't been noticing my data being used bc of it but I'm does worry me sometimes! Hope this helped!

I believe if you have download booster on the phone then uses data and wifi to speed up downloads.
