What's the connection between data connections (3G/4G/WiFi) and phone signal strength (calls)?

At home I'm almost always on my wifi with the 3G/4G turned off.  I've turned it on to experiment, and I get 3G in my house, but the reception (to make and receive phone calls) stays at 0 to 1 bars.  There is a Target store about a 10 minute walk from my house and I get 4G LTE when I'm shopping there, but the reception (calls) is still weak, maybe better but I can't tell you offhand.
There is a Verizon tower about 6 miles southwest of my home; they actually had me drive out and sit under it last winter to fix a Droid Pro problem once.
I absolutely do not understand how 3G and 4G relate to call signal strength, as it's been eluded to in other discussions.  I'm getting the impression that it affects the signal strength for phone calls, but then how can I (on my old phone) toggle it off and still have signal for calls?  When I drive into the heart of 4G LTE country I can turn off the data and still have 4 or 5 bars.  What's the connection between data and phone signal strength?

  • What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    What is the difference between data base objects and runtime objects

    Hi raja,
    data base objects means u can have the presence of these objects in the database.So the tables,searchhelps,structures,lockobjects comes under these ones.
    Runtime objects are created and destroyed after the program ends, any changes we make to them are temporary only.

  • What is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    what is the difference  between  data file  & control file

    Dear Deba s
    Control file
    Every Oracle Database has a control file, which is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes:
    The database name
    Names and locations of associated datafiles and redo log files
    The timestamp of the database creation
    The current log sequence number
    Checkpoint information
    For more info look into these
    [Control File Basic|http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/control.htm#i1006143]
    Data File
    You manage Data File in your Oracle database as part of Space Management. You can extend, create, drop, and alter tablespaces.
    You especially need to avoid tablespace overflow, which is when a tablespace runs out of freespace in the allocated file or files. This happens when an object requires a new extent but there is either no freespace or insufficient freespace in the tablespace
    For more info look into these links

  • What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

    Hi!
    I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
    Thanks and best regards!
    Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

    Hi,
    Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor'  or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account' 
    Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
    Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
    If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
    I hope this helps.
    Kind regards,
    Brigitte

  • What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

    What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

    Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
    Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
    A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
    Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
    QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.

  • What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

    Hello!!
    What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
    I found two things as follows.
    1. MAC support
    2. USB dongle
    Is there anything else?

    Now I’m clear!!
    But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
    They say for each as follows.
    HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
    HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
    And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
    The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
    The wrong description is “NOTE:  You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
    You can erase this line!!

  • What's the difference between task list release for order and release for c

    What's the difference between task list release for order and release for cost?

    Pallavi,
    The status of the task list determines in which other application areas the respective task list may be used.
    Release for costing: means that the task list can be used to calculate costs in Transaction IA16 i.e. the costs for the task list operations would be calculated if released for costing status is set.
    Release for use in the order: Released for Order means that you can use the task list in an order i.e. you could include operations from a task list in an order.

  • What is the difference between Data Warehousing and Big Data?

    What is the difference between Big Data and
    Data Warehousing? are they the same? similar? if no, then when to use each of them?
    Any link to a paper that describes the difference?!

    Big Data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used tools to capture, manage and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. But Data-warehouse is a collection of data marts representing historical data from different
    operations in the company.
    It means Big Data is collection of large data in a particular manner but Data-warehouse collect data from different department of a organization. However Data-warehouse require efficient managing technique. Conceptually these are same only at one factor that
    they collect large amount of information
    For Big Data - You can start researching on HDInsight and for Datawarehouse check MSBI

  • What's the difference between 512M x 72, Quad Rank and 512M x 72, Dual Rank

    Apart from the $500.00, what's the difference between the Netlist 512M x 72, Quad Rank
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/64FB4GD32GBK/>
    and the OWC 512M x 72, Dual Rank
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/64FB4MPK32GB/>

    well, I have exactly the same problem here.
    - Thinkpad T60 with ATI x1400 + Samsung T240 (dual screen)
    - gnome3 (fallback mode)
    - uname -a
    Linux ArchT60 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 9 15:31:04 CEST 2011 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
    every first time urxvt was started, my screen looks quite similar as the screenshot made by Enunes. And the way to "clean" the screen also the same here.  Then if I start urxvt terminal window again, the screen will stay in clean.  Sometimes (not reproducible)  urxvt can make X crash.
    And I don't know if it is normal, I feel the GPU temperature is too high.  I boot the laptop, waiting for 10 mins, there is no any X-application running in gnome3. the GPU temp is about 85 C . If I start a browser, open 4,5 tabs, temp can easily go to 88-90. If I watch some video even youtube online, the temp will be 95 ,97.  the fan works very hard btw.
    It seems everything is ok if there is no 2nd monitor connected.
    I do have a xorg.conf file to configure thinkpad Trackpoint.

    Hi Gurus
    I was going through this thread and came up some more questions in my mind.
    1. Do we need to set Fiscal Year, Fiscal Varient settings once for all in BW ? ( The path is given in one of the thread above ) need to know if this is one time setting / rebuilding the tables. what will happen when we select and execute factory calender and Fiscal Varient and Rebuild tables in transfer global setting ? Is this one time we have to do for whole BW system?
    2. when we go to SCAL t-code what we need to do and what it do in the system ? I know its for Factory calender but just want to know what it does. It it also for one time during BW build phase ?
    3. How can we link Factory calender and Fiscal year? IS it thro Fiscal varient ?
    Pl help me to clear this doubt,thanks in advance.
