well, almot same as mine.
after downloading ios 11, I noticed weird thing popping up before apps,
features, names, etc. like u, a, star, k not makign senses. a good friend of
mine found something as I had to go to voiceover and go to braille, and I
found status cells, and I entered and I saw two options left or right, as I
can't find how to turn off. so I decided to hit right instead of left. the
marks are on right as I ignore them. I am waiting to hear form apple
accessiblity team to respond.
sometimes it is slow to open an app, and sometimes it is slow to lock when
you want to turn off, and it would take time until it is turned off. I guess
there are bugs that need to be fixed.

Interesting, I remember I had this enabled once a long time ago, it may have
been on my 5S, just now when Mark posted this I tried it on my 6S Plus and
while it brought up the Field Test, I could not get it to display the signal
strength this way at all. If somehow the Plus phones can't do that it would
make sense.

Mark,
In my experience the plus sized phones have trouble with this trick.
Just curious, do you have a plus phone?

Hello Everyone,
Below, I am going to paste in the text that, up until now, it seems,
would place iOS in a permanent field test mode. This would allow one
to see the strength of the cell signal in numbers, rather than in
bars. For example, instead of displaying 1 of 5 bars it would display
-92. The numbers are much more accurate in determining how much
signal strength is actually available.
However, after updating a Sprint phone, the following steps do not
appear to work.
I am wondering if this is just a Sprint issue or is this option no
longer available in iOS 11.
To be clear, the steps below do place the phone in field test mode
but, so far, I cannot get the setting to remain permanent.
Can anyone please confirm this for me?
Please let me know what cell network you're using also.
Thank you,.
Okay, below my signature, you will see the steps to take.
Just so you know, these steps, will in no way damage your device or
service for it is used by service technicians from time-to-time.

How to Display Your iPhone Signal Strength in Numbers Info
I have seen 2 different methods of putting your iPhone in Field Test
mode permanently in iOS 7, a short one and a long one.
The short way:
1.
Open your phone app and dial *3001#12345#* and press send/call. (I
recommend putting this in your Notepad so can copy and paste it. You
will need it several times.)
2.
Press and hold the power button until the slide to close appears.
3.
Hold the home to kill the Field Test mode app (In iOS 7 it will
restart, in iOS 6 it is now permanent.)
4.
Repeat step 2 and 3 a couple of times.
5.
Tap the home button to close Field Test mode.
6.
Repeat steps 1-3 (With a little bit of luck it will work the first
time here. I am usually able to get it the first time here. If not
keep
repeating.)
7.
When it works you will see the Field Test mode actually close and NOT
restart. When this happens it is now permanent.
The long way:
1.
Open your phone app and dial *3001#12345#* and press send/call.
2.
Press and hold the power button until the slide to close appears.
3.
Slide the slide bar to turn your phone off.
4.
Turn your phone back on.
5.
It should now be permanent.
Here are the instructions from Redmond Pie:
1.
Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.
2.
You'll now enter Field Test mode. You'll notice a signal strength
indicator on the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can toggle
between signal strength bars and a number by simply tapping on it. At
this point, press the home button to exit the app or if you would like
the feature to be permanent, continue on. Don't worry, the process is
completely reversible.
3.
Hold down on the Power button until you see the 'slide to power off'
bar. Do not power off the device.
4.
Press down on the Home button until the app closes and you return to
your home screen.
That's it. Even when restarting the iPhone, the signal strength can be
toggled between bars and numbers. The closer your number is to zero,
the stronger your signal is.
The lower your number, the stronger your signal but don't include the
minus sign when evaluating (so, if the signal says -60, that's better
than -90).
To return to the default bars permanently, follow these steps:
1.
Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call.
2.
Press on your Home Button once.
This trick may come in handy when you're in a dead zone and need to
know where to move to for a better signal.
