These are elements within SignalCheck which do not work as well as they should, but the cause is out of our hands at the moment; Google or a device manufacturer needs to fix the issue. Some issues impact all users, some impact only certain Android versions, and some impact only certain devices.

Android OS issues

Issue 244063666 breaks several of the SignalCheck status bar icons on Android 13+, including the popular "Network Type and Signal Strength" icon.

Issue 198678685 prevents SignalCheck from obtaining 5G-NR bandwidth information.

Issue 188565322 limits carrier aggregation information available to SignalCheck.

Issue 175741235 limits mobile cell information available to SignalCheck.

Issue 253539094 causes improper 5G-NR bands to be reported to SignalCheck. The Android development team reports this has been fixed as of July 2023; impacted devices will need to receive an Android software update.

Manufacturer-specific issues

Users on some OnePlus devices and other users with third-party launchers including some versions of Nova Launcher report that the SignalCheck notification icon(s) remain white even when a light background color is present on the status bar on some OS versions. This is controlled by the launcher and will need to be fixed by OnePlus or the launcher developer(s). The SignalCheck icons are designed in accordance with Android developer guidelines.

Most, if not all, Huawei devices do not report signal information to the Android OS, therefore SignalCheck (and other similar apps) cannot obtain any useful data. Please feel free to submit diagnostic reports from within the app (Help > Send Diagnostics); perhaps some valid data may appear in future device updates.
