Hello everybody,
I'm observing an odd behaviour by my phone concerning the reception bars on the status bar.
Most of time I only have 1-2 bars but when I'm going to the SIM info part of settings it most of the time switches to more bars.
When checking the dBm and asu values one and the same value gives me different bars.
Right now I have 106 dBm and 34 asu with 1, 2 or 4 bars randomly jumping up and down every few minutes even though it's always the same value.
Can somebody explain this odd behaviour and provide a fix?
Kind regards

It might be that Sprint is upgrading their network.

mine has been doing that to.
Most likely your phone is jumping from tower to tower. I use to have an app that would show the currect connected tower and my phone would skip around to several towers in the area within a few seconds.
Usually signal strenth doesn't indicate quality of service. As long as you have connectivity, the 0s will still be 0s and 1s will still be 1s.
I am not sure I trust the signal strength meter at the top of the home screen at all. I have an airave here at the house, and sitting on my couch, I can see the "bar" go from 1 bar to full strength. But just for comparison, I loaded an app that displays the actual signal strength in db, and that is holding steady at -72db regardless of the where the bar graph is at. Keep in mind that for every change of 3db equates to a change of half power. Since the phone works well when not at home with a signal of -92db, I am not sure what the bar graph is intended to represent.
Hello guys,
I received my TF201 just last week, and overall I am quite happy with it.
I noticed one issue with the wifi bar. Although I am getting good signal when I test it with speedtest (I get 16-20 MB), but the wifi bar is ALWAYS changing between 2 bars, 3 bars, and full bars. It does not ever stay at one position.
My Nexus S which is in the same room is always on 3 bars and never changes. I just wanted to see if anyone is having the same issue.
But like I said, I am getting high wifi speeds regardless of the number of the bars and this is not affecting it, just curious why it constantly jumps up and down.
Thanks,
Sam
I really wouldn't worry about the bars you're seeing on screen. Those are not very indicative of the actual signal strength. It's probably just bouncing around the pre-defined threshold for what is 2 bars and what is 3.
For example, if 2 bars is everything from -85dbm to -50dbm and 3 bards is -50dbm to -40dbm, then the signal level is probably hovering right around -50dbm and keeps transitioning between 2 and 3 bars.
Anyone having trouble with signal strength i always have like 3 bars and sometimes only 2 sometimes none..
And it consumes battery as far as i know... the bad signal
The problem I got is that the wifi signal suddenly get weaker, for example, I stand in the same distant to my AP, before I can have full 4 signal bars, but suddenly I can barely got 2 signal bar, usually down to 1 signal bar.
What can I do:crying:
Hi,
We go on vacation each year to the same place and GSM/2g/3g/lte signal is very poor and varying here. With meter I measure signal strength from -80 to -110 dBm at the same spot. It probably varies due to seaside proximity.
What bothers me is the fact, that when phone looses signal, two weirdos occur:
1.) I need to reboot many times to regain access to my operator...same with other family members, and we use different operators. Why does not phone switch from no signal to my operator by itself always?
2.) Maybe related...cell meter app on my phone show quite strong signal of -80 to -90 dBm all the time when no etwork is found, but network operator name is "none". No calls can be made, even 911 calls end with network error. But signal is strong. What's this? Is this some dormant signal, which I detect practically everywhere, when no network is found?
Above symptoms are present on Samsung s7, s10 and on LG g7, so it's not phone or android version guilty.
Explanations welcome.
