Double signal bar problem - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

The status bar is showing 2 signal bars with LTE icons on my phone. I only have one Verizon sim card inserted. See top right on the screenshot.
Is there any way to disable the 2nd signal bar?

Did you use the dialer code and put your phone into LTE only mode? That caused the double signal bars for me to. Putting it back to TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UTMS fixed it.

[Q] signal proble? :S

my defy sometimes lost the signal and GPRS,
especially after gamming :S
and every time while signal is gone,
the signal icon shown on status bar is freezed:S
i mean.. it shows full signal but no signal in fact
its so annoying that it make me miss many calls.....
i rely need somebody's help orz
what should i do?
im using cm7 by quarx and i tried to reflash cm7 before, but not works :S
I have experienced the problem when I first flashed CM7. After lot of frustration, I found that the sim card dose not fit snugly in the sim card slot. And after a drop, the sim card had moved from the contact. Removing the battery and setting the sim card properly solved the problem for me. Hope this helps. Another thing you might look at is the setting the right base band. And also select the proper network type in the test menu [dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into phone information and scroll down.] Sometimes this gets reset to WCDMA

[Q] Some kind of saving battery mode ?

Hi there
i'm using a galaxy s5 stock rom and i realise that sometimes when i unlock the screen my network bars change, i realise it's changing from full bars to 2 bars, i guess it's a switch from 3G to 4G because i can only have 2 bars at 4g at this location.
It's not supposed to make this switch automatically without any kind of interaction ? sometimes it does...
Thanks

Odd "hurricane" looking icon in notification tray

Anyone know what this icon is? When I pull down the drawer, there's zero info surrounding it (like an app notification). Being that it's on the right side, I assume it's a system notification, but not 100% on that.
Before this icon showed up, my phone was running normal. After a standard reboot, it got stuck on the T-Mobile logo. I had to reset the device and since then, this icon has shown up.

Nothing. It's doesn't appear to be app related.
Maybe it's related to your sim provider as soon as it goes above 4G for example VoLte maybe an advanced quality so it shows that icon
Called t-mobile. They have no clue. Hmm

One way to find out goto Settings>Mobile network
And change Network mode to 3G only
And see if that icon still shows up

Yah that did it. It goes away when 3G onky is toggled and come back when LTE is on. More specifically, its tied to the VoLTE. How strange.
Thanks

Persistent Network icon

My 4G/3G icon is still visible even when connected on wifi, not the arrows which indicate data transmission, but is annoying and idk if it's wrong or a symptom of a deeper problem. Any ideas as to why this may be or how to fix it?

This is normal. My phone also displays 2G/3G/4G icon near signal strength icon even though I don't use data. To disable it try changing your theme.

VZW Wear 24 - Sim Icon in Nofication Tray

I've had a Wear 24 for about three weeks. Yesterday, for the first time, I noticed an icon in the settings dropdown (next to the Bluetooth and wifi indicators) that looked like a sim card with a line struck through it. This icon had never appeared before. Perhaps coincidentally, yesterday was also my best battery life day since I got the watch. While the icon was present, I also saw little arrows next to the Bluetooth symbol indicating upload/download activity.
Today, that icon is gone and so are the arrows (and battery life is worse, though I'm using a different watch face, so who knows?).
Cellular connectivity is switched off and I've never activated the watch on the VZW network. Anyone understand what's up? Thanks.

The first wear 24 I got had that icon permanently. Something was wrong with the sim card/tray. I returned it and got a new one. My guess is you have a slightly loose or defective sim slot or card...
I disabled sim and run in airplane mode all the time. Never activated. Always see that icon. Assumed because I disabled all the Verizon network stuff. Seeing roughly 22h battery life
I see it, too. I disabled the SIM in SIM Info, and the icon appeared and has stayed. Get pretty good battery life as a result.

When I go to the SIM Info app, I see a permission request that doesn't do anything when I touch it. What did you disable and where so that the icon appears and battery life improves?
