Change "5 Bar" display to signal power dBM

[F2]

On my Verizon 8830, Pressing the sequence shows BLANK whereas before pressing it I had a bunch of bars (using BB Today theme, I think)

Am not familiar with the 8830, gess its newer than my 8820? On mine, if you press and hold down the ALT key, then, with the other hand, press the key sequence NMLL, it turns on the 'Signal Power dBM' reading. Then, if I do it a 2nd time, it restores the 5-Bar display. You might try entering the code a 2nd time; maybe it will restore your 5-Bar ??

Ask others here for their advice. There are MANY hi-tech savvy people here, both men and women. If you DO get an answer, plz post it here huh? you cud help OTHER 8830 owners.

I tried this on the pearl 8130 and it did not work. Maybe because of its different keyboard.

Read thru this entire thread. There are several real "Pearls" out there in the metaverse who have got it to work on their gitchies. <G>

One thing I found is that my 8320 Curve does not remember the setting after a battery pull. So I added a text note to my BB that lists the command to use to put it back.

For those showing a blank space when doing the conversion, is your background the same color as your usual text? My dbM reading is barely readable since it is in black and my background is nearly black. This could be your problem.

I'm trying this on my Pearl and I can't get it to type anything but 89 and then a comma, because alt makes it type the numbers.

[korbas12]

OK...it works if you type the N twice, M once, L twice. Never mind.

I have crossbar theme on and wheni did this on the main screen the reading is in black and its hard to see as opposed to when I have the bars its white. Is there any way to change this?
