For now there's a HTC/Base issue with signal reporting to systemui so even if you have the correct region and sku_id you might not get full signal. For some providers it works and for some not.

Try different sku_ids to see what works for you.

All sku_ids are taken from 4.06.1540.3 HTC base. ( that means we need to stick with these values since everything aren't implemented in to the base )

Is this low signal just cosmetic or do I really have that poor a signal? When I switch to 3G I get full bars.

Hi guys,

I've got a little issue with my signal bars. No matter what signal quality I'm getting the bar remains full.

Someone on the other thread said that after 4.3 it shows data speed and not the antenna signal.

I'm on newest firmware with viper rom 4.2.0. My sku_id is 41 and region 6 as I'm on Three UK network.

You don't have a folder named "ACC" in customize?

/system/customize/ACC/default.xml

A question...

What's the thing with the AAInfo.txt. I looked into it and there are US Customization Settings.

TaskID : 342600

Project : M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR

SKU : BrightstarUS WWE[1540]

ROM Ver : 4.06.1540.2

Customization Id : 603389

RCMS Id : 115

But my carrier/operator is Telekom.de. I'm on ViperONE4.2 Rom and i think ROM Version should be 4.06.1540.3, not like in my AAInfo.txt.

Can someone tell me for what AAInfo.txt is being used? And would it be an advantage if i change it with my carrier settings?

Is the XML file supposed to be able to be saved before rebooting? I can't save it. I am rooted, S-Off, 4.4 OTA Dev Edition.
[One (M7) General] ShermCraig:
You must enable and use a Root Explorer. There are many to choose from in the market.
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
I am using ES File Explorer, is that not the right one?
[One (M7) General] ShermCraig:
Yes, but you need to go into the settings to enable. Tools >> Root Explorer >> Turn ON.
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
This is crazy, I tried to enable that and it says Sorry, test failed, That feature can not run on your device. And it root explorer, sometimes it says file is read only, but I can get to make the change, but it just won't save it even though it says it did. Does that file need CHMOD changes? It gets kinda scary at that point.
[One (M7) General] ShermCraig:
Did you see a request to enable SU when you tried to turn it on? Make sure that you see it enabled in your Super User app - I use SuperSU, but there are others....
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
I got back to playing with it again, and nope, nothing. Enabled SU for ES File Explorer, turned on root access, nothing. When I go to save it, it just tells me that it can't be saved. I even tried to change the permissions on it to rw-rw-rw from rw-r-r, to see if anyone could edit and save it, but it just says operation failed on that too. It should let me edit AND save it since I am the owner with rw permissions. Saving it seems to be the problem. It's not a big deal, but once you get started on something and it doesn't work right, most of us are curious and want to know why, and that's me too.

Added: I just tried in root explorer, and it tells me that the file is read only even though I can plainly see rw right there. So ES let's me edit, but not save, Root Explorer won't let me do either.

[One (M7) General] Patrics83:
It seems that your kernel doesn't allow you to mount system as rw. (normally stock kernels doesn't allow that. )

Reboot into recovery and do the same adb pull push commands and I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'm not an expert by any stretch - my expertise has run its course. :confused: Sounds like you are getting somewhere with the help of Patrics83. I'll keep monitoring and chime in if I think I can add value, but your issue seems to have gone beyond my abilities. Sorry.
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
Thanks for the help!

I am now at the point, where if I boot into recovery, pull the file, edit it, save it, and then push it back, it says 44075 bytes in 0.15 seconds, so it APPEARS that it is being sent, but when you go and recheck through ES or Root, it reverts back to the old value. I just don't see how unless the OS itself has backups and when a change is detected it overwrites what I have sent. Heck, I even tried to pull and push the ACC folder because it appeared to have rwx permissions but even that doesn't work. At this point, I just want to conquer this dang file just to tell my phone I beat ya, lol. There is a learning experience here somewhere though.
[One (M7) General] ShermCraig:
Keeping in mind that I am not as good as Patrics83, my suggestion would be to re-flash your custom rom if it does NOT use a custom kernel. You shouldn't have to wipe anything, but it will restore the original kernel, and hopefully solve your problem. :)
[One (M7) General] hack14u:
I actually ran the 4.3 Dev RUU, then it prompted me to update to 4.4, and the OTA actually worked even though I was still unlocked and had a CID of CWS__001. I have 2 of these devices, play with them all the time, and this was a first. The OTA has never worked while unlocked and I have never seen that CID in the android-info.txt file. Very strange. Maybe something got screwey there. The only reason for doing all this is to try and get a better signal on the 4.4 Dev. Everyone says it's cosmetic, but it's not. I can sit my other one right next to it with either the 4.3 Dev, or the 4.3 ATT and the speeds are faster, and the 4.3's don't bounce from 3G to H, to barely LTE.

Anyhow, enough about that, I wonder if I can adb shell chmod the default.xml file? I already know the worst that can happen, that's why I ask. But then again, without access, would that even work?

Thanks to this thread I was able to change the SKU and Region IDs and get the signal strength bars working for LTE. I'm on an unlocked 32GB model on ARHD 41, rooted and S-on.

I changed the values to 1 (region) and 7 (SKU) and the signal strength bars seemed to be working, but now I could see the ugly/cartoony AT&T 4G LTE logo instead of the clean LTE logo from before. So, I just switched to 6 and now I'm back to having 1 bar LTE and nicer looking logo :)

Also, setting it to 7 shows the AT&T text (on the left side of the status bar) for a second after I unlock the phone and then it vanishes.

root browser

The App Root browser works best to achieve this method! The problem with other apps like es explorer and others is that when your trying to save the edited text it doesnt ask for root permission so you cant save it. But root browser after to save it ask for permission and you have to grant it then it will save and restart your phone! Thanks for whoever discovered this you guys are genius!

I was directed to this forum because I have signal problems.

even if I 3G/4G is off i experience very bad signal.

I already sent my phone 3 times in for repair, I had two motherboard swaps, I changed my sim once more, nothing helps.

Most of the time I have one bar.

I Installed 'network signal info' and this gave me between -102 and -105dbm when I see one bar in the normal signal icon ..

I tried my old card and my new card in a samsung S4 and a samsung Y and both of them gave a far better signal.

I've changed the SKU already from 42 to 0 and to 115 but so far nothing is bettter.

I'm in Belgium on a Proximus network.

In the shop they tried out my phone with their sim card and they told me they had no signal problems.

Do I have to try out all of the sku's or doed anybody know what to try for proximus or is there something else I can change or try
[One (M7) General] Patrics83:
By changing sku_id your real reception will not increase or decrease.

[One (M7) General] Viper4713:
I'm a little confused, which one should I use for USA? my rom came with 42(HTC_EUROPE), I changed it to 7 for AT&T but I don't like how "AT&T" is added on the left of my status bar, which one should I use for HTC USA? or does it really matter? I already changed my region to 1.
[One (M7) General] DLG187:
It doesn't really matter what you use for the sku_id if you don't like what it shows.

For example, if you like the 4g symbol for H/H+ and LTE for LTE then the Telus_wwe sku Id will work fine
[One (M7) General] Viper4713:
I guess it does matter, I am on AT&T and tried Sprint_WWE and I kept losing signal constantly, so I guess I will use HTC_Generic sense its not really connected to any region, I like the AT&T one but like I said I don't like the "AT&T" text in my status bar :(
[One (M7) General] DLG187:
Changing the setting doesn't actually affect the signal - just the graphical representation of it. If you went to Settings > About > Network and looked at Signal Strength, it would be the same regardless of the Sku_id you choose.
[One (M7) General] Viper4713:
So your saying when I tested "Sprint" it only appeared to have 1 bar of signal when I usually have 4, and LTE switching to 2G and then no signal at all? it was an endless buggy cycle :P

I know what you meant, but this modification doesn't require an "SkuID" app.

You only need to change this once.

So please tell me how do these changes effect on our devices?

[One (M7) General] Lossyx:
Depending on where you live you should use specific region/sku code for better signal strength. I.E, if you live in Europe you will use region and sku for Europe to get better signal.

Tnx for replying, yes I know what you mean.

Also managed to remove the annoying non-VRZ SIM and icon, but (there's always a but, isn't it?! :) ) it shows me full GSM signal bar ALWAYS.

Phone is Verizon M8, S-Off, with latest RUU (5.0.1). Used in Europe, under Orange UMTS/LTE.

Tried with region: 6 (Europe), radio 4 (UMTS_LTE), SKU 123 (HTC_WWE_DEMO) and SKU: 99 (HTC_WWE_EASTEUROPE), same results.

I have normally 3 or 4 signal bars where I live (Verizon RUU stock default.xml) and 5 (out of 5) with modified default.xml as above.

Back to stock settings, the Non-Verizon SIM message (and status icon) are back, and signal is showing me 4 bars (out of five). I will test again tomorrow in my office, where I know signal is always poor (1 to 2 bars out of 5), and will revert here with info.

Of course, still no LTE option (HSDPA only), no matter the SKU settings, but I think this is already known for Verizon (CDMA) phones used worldwide. I kinda gave up in solving this matter lately (of course, it's a different story).

So I can get 4G but I have to go into the hidden settings. I am just looking for a solution to enable auto permanently.
