I have a question about the connection icons in the Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST rom
I get that the Icon to the left of the bars is what is passing data (E is for EDGE, Tower w/ circle for Wifi but I noticed a few odd things that I don't get.
While connected to Wifi, I noticed that there was the tower with a circle on the right and a tower without a circle next to the bars.
I have also been connected to Wifi and seen an E above the bars. Does this mean there is also EDGE available? However I don;t get this all the time even when I know EDGE is available.
Sorry to be so blonde about this abd it is not a huge deal but I would love to know.

Finally after waiting patiently, i took the plunge and upgraded. Glad I did, apart from vibrate working for incoming emails, the phone seems to be working better.
However, what is up with those EDGE/GRPS icons in AKU 2.3? They have a big E or G that now just means you are in GPRS/EDGE coverage, then they took the signal bar and added another E or G when you have an active connection?
What a waste of screen real estate - talk about being redundant. Anyway to change the icons back to the standard way using a reg tweak or CAB?
Thanks.
*BUMP*
I noticed the same thing. I searched and haven't found a solution yet. Anyone?
No "fix" is in the works. This is actually a feature whose usefulness will only become apparent when you go to a TyTN. In that case, the big "E" will change to something different when 3G capabilities are available and the small "E" will show any one of 2 (will become 3 when HSDPA capabilities are added) different connection icons depending on the actual connection speed.
Today, the only time the big "E" icon changes is when you are WiFi or direct connected (via ActiveStink).
hi
I just got the diamond, my first htc phone my free internet browsing comes on in a couple of weeks but till then just wanted to have a quick browse, just wondered once ive closed the web page down does that mean its automatically disconnected from the net or do i have to manually turn it off, i dont want to get a huge bill from surfing the net the whole time when i think im not connected
thanks
The icon that displays the signal strength tells you whether you are connected or not. If it has an antenna icon, you are not connected. Any other icon (such as a "H", "E" or "3G") on the signal strength icon (notice how the antenna is above the strength) means you are connected. There are options to automatically disconnect after a while, I use this.
ok thanks for that mine says 3g at the top so how do i remove that to disconnect?
many thanks
ok had a look through the manual and what i think the icon (3g) i have is showing that it is available there are no signal strenths below it and according to the manual this is what shows im connected or two arrows if its connecting does that sound right?
thanks
Upon some reading of the user manual, I have decided to edit my post.
The service icon on my Tilt (shows the big E, 3G, H, etc), which also shows the wi-fi radio and whether I'm connected to a computer, has stopped refreshing itself.
After starting up, it shows the opposing arrows with an "x" indicating no service. I do have service, though. If I do anything (activate wi-fi, connect to a computer, etc), the icon changes to that, but once done, it stays there. It doesn't refresh back to the big H (or E) that should be there, nor does it go all the way back to the no service indicator.
The most recent thing I did before this happened was to try a registry tweak to remove the clock (and hopefully put up the battery meter) in PointUI Home 2. Even after undoing the tweak, the icon still doesn't work.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
If it helps have things make sense, it's the big connectivity icon, not the little service icon with the bars.
If I connect via wi-fi, when I turn off wi-fi, the icon stays the same. If I connect to a computer, when I disconnect, the icon stays the two opposing arrows. After a soft reset, I get the two broken arrows.
Regardless, I never get the E or H I used to normally have.
Help anyone?
I tried installing JUVS's Large Title Bar and while the small icon on the title bar wasn't right, the large icon for the connectivity was the large H I've been missing. I do have the small H with my signal bars, but have not had the big connectivity H icon (or E or G) for a couple weeks.
Does anyone have any clue?
Is the lack of suggestions due to things not being clear, or is everyone actually stumped?
I was wondering why some WIFI networks display a grey circle icon with 2 arrows in it. I looks a bit like a synchronisation icon, but the arrows are not placed in a circle but rather up and down.
You can see this icon displayed behind the name of the WIFI network in the list of available WIFI networks. Not all networks do have it.
I have tried to search it but there were no clear answers. However the most obvious would be that the network supports something related to synchronisation, or maybe better bandwidth such as wireless N speeds.
that is for wps, a method to auto setup a secure connection, need router support

thanks a lot I think I wouldn't have found the meaning of it without you telling me (since the icon can stand for a lot of things).
My wife is in Brazil with a Droid Bionic running ICS that she has been unable to get to work while everyone else in the hotel is not having any problems. I don't expect her to be able to use the mobile network but did expect it to have complete WIFI functionality. At home this is on a Verizon network. What is displaying is the triangle with the red dot indicating no mobile carrier signal which we expect. The wireless network shows as connected with an excellent signal. Whenever she tries to access anything in the internet, she just gets a loading message which continues.
I've duplicated this at home (Florida) by putting my droid bionic into a metal ammo container and keeping lid almost closed so it was not connected to Verizon here and I had no problem connecting to the wifi signal (was only a few feet from router which is why the wifi signal was strong enough). The only difference seems to be that her signal strength bars were white while mine were blue.
I had my wife have the phone "forget" the connection and then scan for the network and try again with no luck. Is this what the reassociate app which I've heard of does?
Suggestions? Thanks so much!!!!!!
