Is there away to tell if you do NOT have a mobile signal from YOUR provider when the screen is unlocked.
I have looked & looked but is there now a way to only show the signal level bars for you own network & not any other network that it seems to pick up.
When screen is on but locked it is fine, Vodafone UK is on top left - I actually have to lock then turn on screen (still locked) to see if I have a connection which is crazy.
I can walk around looking at my phone and not realise that I have no signal.
I have asked many times over perhaps 5 or more years on my many Samsung phones (or any android)
but never had an answer, amazed others are not as equally frustrated, perhaps not in the UK where I live where 20% (or worse) of the land mass is not covered
Currently SGS9+ but on all previous S7 S6 S5 S4
I would prefer just for the notification bars to drop or have a line through but these show any network connection so if next to EE mast but no VF signal still full bars, which again is crazy, handy for emergency services I guess but 99.9% of time don't need to know that.
I would even be happy to have Vodafone UK taking up screen space, better than nothing.
Due to the rubbish UK network I spend quite a lot of time out of range of my provider but at a glance I see the bars & think perhaps I have a signal.
