As will be evident from what follows I know little or nothing about mobile phone technology.
Tonight I noticed that my Galaxy S4 is displaying 4G in the Status bar - an unusual event in this particular location but I am happy to see it. However, I also noticed that the signal strength indicator beside the 4G has reduced to just 1 bar - whereas in this location I normally have all the bars illuminated. So, is there any connection between 4G and the signal strength indicator or is there perhaps a network hiccup in progress. The live status checker tells me everything is hunky dory. BTW my S4 seems able to send and receive texts OK despite the almost total absence of signal.
Thanks in anticipation

Just to add @Anonymous that the texts go over 2G or 3G anyway as 4G is data only at present.

Thanks @aldaweb and @Anonymous - 4G is brilliant when it is available but I live just outside of a "blue area" on the O2 coverage map so maybe tonights reception has just been accidental.
I was on holiday in Oxfordshire and Gloucesteshire last week and the O2 coverage was abominable - terrific when available but when driving in and around the Cotswolds signal was frequently lost or very weak.

Thought I should report that 4G reception is improving all the time in my neck of the woods, so credit where it is due - thanks to O2 engineers. Keep up the good work.
