A system and method for indicating signal strength of a multi-mode
wireless communication device is disclosed. The wireless communications
device simultaneously displays signal strength indicators of multiple
radio access technologies on the multi-mode wireless communication
device. In an exemplary method, the multi-mode wireless device determines
a first signal strength of a first radio access technology and displays
the signal strength in a designated annunciator area of a display of the
device. The device then determines availability and signal strength for a
second radio access technology and further displays a second signal
strength indicator in the annunciator area corresponding to the second
determined signal strength of the second radio access technology.
