What does this mean?

I was in an area with bad signal and I saw this in the upper right hand corner. What does the 1x mean?

1x is basically anything slower than 3G. If you don't have 4G or 3G coverage, the phone will try to connect at whatever else is available... 2G, 2.5G, etc.

What are 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G networks ? :: SG FAQ


It's funny how many people don't even remember the world before 3G anymore.

1x is 2.5G, which is even worse/slower than 3G.

1x is digital service I believe. So which means you don't have an internet signal. The 1x will work for calls and text but too weak for internet.

That's a bit strange choice of the mark - 1x. why not use 2G instead? There would be less questions )

Internet works on my Droid3 on 1x
