Abstract: Embodiments of this application relate to the field of electronic technologies, and provide a network icon display method and a terminal, so that display of a 5G network icon can be more consistent with an actual network status of a terminal, a quantity of times of switching of a network icon can be reduced, and user experience can be improved. A specific solution is as follows: An NR SCG is added to a terminal after the terminal registers with a first cell for the first cell, where the first cell is a long term evolution LTE cell. The terminal registers with the first cell for the second time, where an interval between a time point of registering with the first cell for the second time and a time point of registering with the first cell for the first time is less than or equal to preset duration T. The terminal displays a 5G network icon. Embodiments of this application are used to display a network icon.

Abstract: This application provides a method for returning from a low-standard network to a high-standard network, to resolve a problem that a primary card of a terminal device in dual SIM dual standby single pass mode cannot return to the high-standard network after falling back from the high-standard network to the low-standard network during a data service. The method includes: detecting that a first subscriber identification module SIM card of the terminal device falls back from a first-standard network to a second-standard network; obtaining a registration status of a second SIM card, where the registration status includes an operator of the second SIM card and a network on which the second SIM card camps, and the first SIM card and the second SIM card enable the terminal device to work in the dual SIM dual standby single pass mode; obtaining a target standard network based on the registration status of the second SIM card; and registering the first SIM card with the target standard network.
