Xperia with no Signal Status icon

[vmbe]

My Xperia using Android 4.2.2 shows no signal strength icon, even though there undoubtedly is a signal, because other members of my family standing next to me can send texts with their iPhones. Can any kind person help ?

From Settings > you can try to search manual network. Sometimes it works that way. If its causing you issue, try apps like Network Signal info and check the network stats. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&hl=en

Or if the issue is repeateing then you have to either re flash the firmware or take it to the service center.

Thank you, and I shall try that, though I must admit that I have got no idea what "reflash the firmware" means !
