7)To recover,follow the first step and press home button once.

HAPPY TRYING AND HOPE UR SIGNAL ARE STRONG ENOUGH!!

Or if your iPhone is jailbroken & the signal strength no. is what you wanna know, can always install OmniStat for Notification Center from Cydia. Refer to the Cell IP...

I read somewhere, it says the closer the number to zero, the better is your signal strength regardless of the positive or negative sign which just indicate direction.

So a full bar line should be around 0 or in the range of +- 10? hmm.gif

Uodate : I got -77 of full bar Maxis

Yup,lower the number,the better signal due to (negative).eg:-100 are weaker than -80.

The signal bar relates to the signal strength.

Using my iphone5 I notice something like this:

5 bar: -79 and better
4 bar: -80 to -89
3 bar: -90 to -99
2 bar: -100 to -109
1 bar: -110 and worse

Yes indeed. You will get higher speed at full bar, if you are on just 1 bar 3G, your speed will be slower as well as unstable.

when i tried on ios 7 beta 5 and beta 6, the signal strength wasn't accurate at all.

cause in good coverage area show -130, but 3G speed excellent fast. and always see -130, rarely go up to normal -70 -80dbm.

signal strong doesnt mean 3g connection is slow,its ability to receive line

but -130 is equal to no signal.

what i want to point out is, the signal strength is not accurate in iOS 7 beta 5 and 6.
