Cell standby-->>Time without signal

[g1toevo678]

This was mentioned in another thread. If you go to Setting-Battery-Cell standby it shows Time without Signal. I checked it the other day and it showed zero. I checked again today and now it's not showing Time without signal at all if I click Cell Standby under battery in settings.

Does anyone know why it might have disappeared? Is your phone showing that percentage under cell standby?

If its not there than your phone hasn't needed to go into cell standby mode. Which means you have had a signal the whole time. I think, maybe someone else can correct me

If it doesn't lose signal at all, it will not show a percentage. It averages any time with signal loss, so if you're seeing 0%, that means it did lose it for a very brief time.

How accurate is that percentage? Mine is at 38%, and stay around that all day. I have No Signal Alert installed, and there is nothing in the logs about losing signal. So is it actually without a signal?

That makes sense. Thank you!

I was googleing about why mine wasn't showing the % at all and it seems like that statistic can act a little "funky". There's a lot of discussion about it across different phones. Aside from maybe showing that it did lose signal at some point, not sure how accurate the actual % is.
