  • Inside iOS 11: With 'antennagate' a distant memory, Apple switches back to signal bars

    Unfortunate side-effect of iOS 11

    Previous testing that we've done on LTE strength has relied on Field Test mode for precise measurements. In iOS 11, the ability to force the signal strength meter to a numerical rating appears to be gone, complicating analysis.
    Wait, so now you can't get a numeric dBm AT ALL?!?  FFS Apple, how far will you go out of your way to remove obscure "features" that some people use that are already so far buried that it's not confusing anyone who doesn't already know how to use it?  I much prefer the dBm reading over some inconsistent (from phone to phone) and imprecise bars.
    First of all, +1 for user name.

    Second, its possible they just changed the entry code for the test mode. We're working on it.
    Mike, any more insight into this?  The ability to force the persistent display of the actual dB reading, instead of dots, was a huge plus for me. I know it's probably not a big deal to most folks, but this alone would keep me away from iOS 11 as long as possible.

    For those that don't know what I'm talking about--
