Hello.
I just got my Redmi Note 2 Prime two days ago and I was configuring it for me and my needs. However, am I missing something or it's impossible to switch style of signal on status bar? I don't like "bars" because they don't tell me anthing. I want to see signal clearly in dBm but I can't find option to switch it anywhere.
Is it hidden somewhere in hidden menus? Do I need to edit system files/configs or install mods to make this work? And lastly, why such important and easy-to-implement option isn't implemented? System need to know signal anyway (and there are many apps that can show signal in dBm in Google Play), so why not let us choose how we want to see signal?
And the reason why I want it on status bar - it's easier to see it all the time on status bar AND apps/widgets eat resources such as CPU time or RAM.
Are there any informations about this?

So my friend has the SGS Fascinate and recently said that an icon appeared up in her notification bar. I couldn't identify it, although I assumed it had something to do with GPS or some kind of satellite connection. However, there was no indication as to where it was coming from, after perusing the settings.
After looking at it I've redrawn what it looks like, anyone else know what this icon could be?

Also, I noticed that when I turned off "VZW Location Services" under "Location and Security" that the Icon dropped the three wave bars and just the plus/diamond was still there.
What exactly is this thing? Anyone know?
Part of the DL09 update as I recall
It's the new E911 icon. It will always be there, and the only current fix is to replace the image for it with a transparent one, but it still takes up space on the notification bar.
Ok cool. Thanks for the answers!

To clarify and continue your answer, the icon is for Location Enabled.
(+) means that you have E911 service, which will always be enabled (by law)
(+)<))) means that you have E911 service AND one or more Location Services Enabled, either GPS, Google Location, or VZW location. The <))) will remain as long as you have ANY of the location services enabled.
This confused the hell out of me when I first saw it on DJ05, so that's why I wanted to offer a more complete answer
On the Status Bar at the top right of my A7 screen, there 5 items. One is the clock; next to that battery strength; airplane mode and then one I don't know what it is. Can someone help me and tell me what it is?
It looks like a small picture of the tablet with two little lines on left and right of it (something, maybe, to indicate movement or shaking).
Does anyone know what that is and where I could see the setting for that icon?
unknown icon
News to me. I dont have it on mine. Go into settings, applications l, running services and disaple things one at a time untill it goes away!
That icon means that vibration is on usually indicating sound is disabled (if you slid the wrong bar on the lock screen).
Yet another question that could have been answered by the manual...

Hi,
is there a way (stock kitkat) to show the carriername on the status bar (like near the clock), as soon/as long i have mobile reception ? I never know if i got gsm signal, because the signal bars are showing up as well when i'm outta coverage in "emergerndy calls only" status. To find out i have always to scroll down the notification panel. Maybe i am missing something but in my eyes this is a quite important feature, which every nokia from the 90ies had...
thnx
Probably need an addon maybe GravityBox or some Xposed mod, however you can download iNoty which replicates iOS software/signal bars in your status bar.
there isn't such option in xposed or gravitybox. Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.wp7barfree&hl=it

I can't seem to find anything. Is there a mod out there that lets the GPS Icon show ONLY when the GPS is actively being used? I don't know if anyone is like me or not, but I like to leave GPS enabled for on demand usage, but I do NOT like having a all or nothing GPS icon. I like knowing when the GPS is active or not, but I don't want to stare at the bullseye icon 24/7.
Anyone know of such a mod? I was hoping it would be in G2 Xposed (I just tonight found that you can hide the 4G/3G notification when Wifi is active) but no such luck.
Mods, if this is the wrong section for this question, my apologies. I figured it was more of a Q&A item than a development item.

I fubar'd. I meant to take this down. I was confusing the E911 icon with the GPS Icon. I haven't seen an E911 Icon for two years now and it threw me.
Hi there...
Before to ask I must said that I have done a huge research and check every post mentioning status bar issues, I even look through the Home screens post and similar post where members where showing their home screens to check if I could see the location icon in any status bar.
I have a S7 edge with HydraRom 1.4, Xposed is installed and the Flat Style Bar Indicator mod is there too working wonderfully but, I can't get to manage to see the Location icon on the status bar when I activate it and I have try all.
I only use Location active when I go out in night time to do Astro Photography, together with some apps helps me to do the polar alignment of my tracking mounts. I want to see the icon on the status bar to be sure it is active without the need to unlock the phone and drag the status bar down to check, I am starting to be afraid it is not possible like the sync icon which is not showing neither but, that one is not bothering much.
Any help will be appreciated!!
