Bars Cydia Tweak: Increase The Accuracy Of iPhone Signal Indicator

Many of us like the iPhone. It’s a device that easily takes care of all the major functions it was made to do, however, like every electronic device, the iPhone isn’t without issues. In order to take care of the issues which the iPhone has, Apple has released a lot of fixes for their device. The fixes that have been released have taken care of the iPhone’s battery life, connectivity problems when using the Wi-Fi and even the signal issues that were reported by many users. However, a problem that a lot of users have complained about is that the iPhone’s signal strength isn’t accurate. There is now a new solution to this issue in the form of the ‘Bars Cydia tweak’, which is said to make the signal indicator more accurate.



Apple released the iOS 4.0.1 in the July of 2010, and this fix was for improving the algorithm in the iPhone used to display the signal bars on the device. The calculations of this fix were erroneous and people saw that the signal strength was far lower than the actual strength.


The Bars Cydia tweak that has been introduced is a tweak that makes the signal strength indicator in the iPhone, more accurate.

So, how does this tweak work?

This tweak displays half bars, rather than rounding the bars to the nearest full bar. This means that if you have signal strength, which is 2.5, then the indicator will show two full bars and one, half bar. This kind of representation is very useful if you live in an area where you don’t get good reception. You can know more about this tweak by watching the video below:

If you are interested in getting the ‘Bars Cydia tweak’, then you can get it through the Big Boss Repo, and you won’t even have to pay for it. You need a jailbroken iPhone with iOS 5 or higher!
