Because it's seemingly impossible to find an Apple-authorized way to access carrier signal strength, I'm considering leaving UIStatusBarHidden set to false so that the signal bars will still show. The only problem then becomes that the ugly green "Touch to return to call" button pops up in a call. I'd rather keep the status bar without the green bar. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Lol, Apple doesn't want you to know the signal strength for a good reason. How bad would it have been if you could see the numbers change on the iPhone 4 when you transition from death grip to 'recommended' grip. – Aurum Aquila Feb 24 '11 at 10:51

Indeed. As for this case, I simply want to relay what is already known and displayed without showing another UI element. Essentially, can the green bar be divorced from the status bar? – Old McStopher Feb 24 '11 at 11:18

1There might be a hidden API somewhere. I have never needed an iPhone specific feature so I've not really researched them at all. You could request that apple add it: bugreport.apple.com – Aurum Aquila Feb 24 '11 at 11:21

Just FYI, the private framework is at https://github.com/kennytm/iphone-private-frameworks/tree/master/SpringBoard, for those unconcerned with legit AppStore distro. SBStatusBarController has Double Height Status Bar goodies. Too bad I'm trying to play by the rules. – Old McStopher Feb 24 '11 at 21:56

In an Apple Authorized way?
No.

Found those tasty github private frameworks, but apparently they're a big Apple no-no. Blast. – Old McStopher Feb 24 '11 at 21:49
