Here lately I've noticed a few times when my signal appears to be non-existent (see pic). However, I know I'm in an area with a strong signal. So, I checked my signal strength in the 'about phone' section and it was very strong & speed tests show good throughput. Anyone else have this happen? Any suggestions?

Do you happen to use any XPosed Modules? I use Wanam Xposed and it can edit the amount of signal bars etc...wondering if maybe it's something like that

I do used Xposed Installer with Wanam Xposed, but the signal bar adjustment wasn't used. I checked it, rebooted, unchecked it and rebooted again. I'll see if that does anything. Thanks for the suggestion!

Is there any way that someone could make it so that your signal strength is displayed as a percentage instead of just bars?
I thought that this would be more specific and easier to understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I believe that you *could* because its only a graphic and icons can be changed easily but theres only five icons... Four for strength and one that would be dead completely.. So the petcentages would be very widespread.. Think 25% increments.. Best to just keep the bars

Mobile signal widget will give you a dbm or asm number for signal strength.

Hi,
I would like to ask if it is normal to have a maximum of 4 signal bars in S4? I'm already using the optimized modem in my country but still receiving 4 signal bars max in return.
I don't think it is a coverage problem though since I already tried my SIM on my old S2 and it is showing 5 signal bars without any problem.
As of now, the maximum Signal Strength I can get is -77dBm 18a asu (2G).
Any help on this? Should I consider on deviating my 'optimized' country modem and flash a different one?
Thanks!

4 bars is the maximum SHOWN on the Galaxy S4 -77dBm is high!!! I currently have three bars at -98dBm! Basically the Scale is 0 to 4 bars.
I would leave the modem as it is especially as it is supposedly optimized for your country. Don't fix something that isn't broken!
I hope this helps,
4 bars is maximum? Why is that?

how did you optimize the modem ? i seem to having a lot of issues with "Not Registered on Network" and I must restart phone in order to make calls etc . Stock 4.3 android
No I mean I'm already using the optimized modem for my country.
My only worry is I'm still getting 4 bars signal max instead of 5.

Because yes.... Samsung chose it to be like that... There is no problem on that

I don't know what your on about, almost every phone I've ever had has only ever had the display show a maximum of 4 bars, except a small % that had 5 rare I'm pretty sure.
In my radio world S 5 is actually more correct.
If you want more bars go get network signal info from the store.

You are using Wanamlite Rom, right? There's an option in the Wanam Xposed app that controls the number of bars shown. The default in wanamlite is 5 (up to 6), but the signal isn't adjusted to that number of bars unless you tick the 'Adjust signal levels' option.
Thanks problem solved ..it was due to Wanam ...
This just showed up a few minutes ago. Strangely enough is also on my wife's dumb phone, an LG Cosmos 2.
We are out of town a bit where the Verizon signal is a bit sketchy. Does that have anything to do with it?
It means you are connected to a VZW Network Extender. I bought one for my house in order to get good reception in my basement.

Ok, thanks for the info, someone by my mother in laws house must have one. I assume all Verizon phones just connect to it automatically then.
Does that make the "Network" or the WiFi stronger?
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!

No it does not just increases your signal if your in a low signal area

As the title says, I can't get any signal whatsoever on miui or aosp ROMs whatsoever. The only custom ROM I actually do get signal on is cloudy but I'm a bit of a flashaholic.
I've tried to flash the baseband for KK D802 hoping that would fix it but it didn't. Any ideas?
CyanogenMod has never been too accurate when reporting signal strength. Even though you'll have 4 bars on stock KK, you'll only have 1-2 bars on CyanogenMod or other AOSP based ROMs when in reality your signal is much stronger. Unless you mean you literally have no signal at all than don't worry about it.

No signal whatsoever. Tried to find networks manually in settings but it doesn't even search.

maybe you have damaged the file efs?
Do you have the correct APN settings for your carrier? If they are incorrect you will not get 4G, but I've never heard of not getting any signal due to incorrect APN settings.
Exactly, I'm not too worried about the 4g I'm just not getting anything on those roms.

Sorry for a resurrection but it's an ongoing issue. BUMP.
OK I have been having signal issues in my house never an issue before always had -70 db around there which would be 4 to all bars. Now I get -100 to -112 with only 2 bars? My signal fluctuates so much going from bad to worse I change from global to lte cdma fixes it for 1 minute. I tried airplane mode switching roms. I've tried signal refresh app that helps find closer towers. My data speeds are bad because of it also. I've lived here for 2 years no issues now I do? Do I need new modems I run nc4 always was the best. If they update towers would that effect me? I'm suppose to have xlte I've checked I'm on band 4 but regular speeds 40mbs I get 1mbs now. What do I do?
