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).

Upgraded to rom 1.40, the G (gprs) icon is always on... seems I am always connected but in 1.22.04 rom G icon was always Off. except when I was downloading something I suppose. What does it mean? I'm a little bit confused by this Icon. GPRS bytes are very expensive here in italy and I am not so rich
Thanx for your answers...
The white G means that GPRS is available, not that is it on. When you connect to GPRS, the icons changes to the G with arrows.
This is different than previous versions of the rom.
Otherwise, you did something else wrong (extended rom mishap, full restore after upgrade, etc)
i have noticed the same think.....
can the G icon be removed somehow?
No. There is a significant difference between the status icons of the older roms and this new 1.40 rom.
First of all, the phone and connectivity icons are no longer TOGETHER. They have been seperated out. The Icons showing you the signal strengh is phone icon, which deals with all things phone, and the typically "G" icon, is the connectivitiy icon, which deals with all things internet/networking.
With the older roms, when you connected to GPRS or Wifi, a seperate black icon would pop up showing you what you are connected to. Now, the connectivity icon shows always shows you WHAT IS AVAILABLE (so it displays a white G most of the time because GPRS is available, when you turn on WIFI, it displays a WIFI symbol) and when you connect, it shows you the corresponding connection icon.
The only real difference then, appears when you aren't connected. The old rom would show no second icon, but the new icon shows you what you CAN connect to.
I hope that explained it.
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.
Hi, ocassionaly I can see that the Edge icon on my Diamond turns grey (it's shadowed) - never seen this state before, anyone know what it means?
I also have been getting that. I dont think it matters if it's EDGE, GPRS, 3G, or HSDA as I have been getting it with 3G after a soft rest
when I put a 3 SIM card in.. in place of the H icon I get an icon that looks like a mountain... triangle.. what's that mean? any ideas?

Triangle means roaming - so beware the costs!
When it's grey, means that it's not "Attached"...
Bye
I kept getting a "Grey" H icon and I actually found that I couldnt connect to the Internet. Also some of my texts wouldnt send and I couldnt make calls either (not sure if its related or not)
The only way I found to solve it was to switch HSDPA off, now I get the 3G symbol but its not "Grey" anymore and everythings working fine.
this is issue is also reffered as "black icons issue". have a search over this forum and you will find many reports of the same.
No, that's not true. This is completely different issue.
Also it's not true that the gray icon denotes unattached GPRS. For unattached GPRS, there is no extra icon, you just see the aerial icon instead of small letter inside the "signal strength" icon.
The grey state is weird, never experienced before on any device, and it's not explained anywhere so far.
I couldn't find it right now (though I'll still search it), but I've changed a setting yesterday and after this, the "grey" icons appeared. Untill then I had the "filled"/normal ones. That setting is for telling if the data connection is ALWAYS available or only BY REQUEST/ON DEMAND (from an application that needs it).
As soon as I'll find it again, I'll post it here.
i disabled the GPRS auto attach and the grey 3g icon started to appear...no longer the filled one...
I have the same problem since yesterday with edge on my workplace: big grey "E" icon, and it's impossible to connect to the net. But I have 2 or 3 network bars and a little "E" in the top left of them. At home I have HSDPA and no problem
i have a grey 3g icon... only came on after i disabled the GPRS auto attach function in advanced config...
I had disabled that function too. I've just re-enabled it and soft reset but I see no difference, it can't connect in edge

I had an isue a long time ago.
When I disabled/detached my GPRS, it was detached from my provider, ie it was detached on the mobile central.
Only way I could get it working again was to call my mobile provider to have them enable it again.
Yeah but it works on 3G and HSDPA, it's not the same parameters?

This is correct. Grey means Gprs/Edge/3G/Hspda is available, but not necessarily attached. When you connect (fire up a browser/mail/any other internet proggie) it will go black (and a lot bigger and uglier I might add). It's a bit confusing cos when you disconnect, it STAYS black, which is probably a bug.
I know this has been asked a million times, I just bought a used tilt from a co-worker. I do not have any data plans, and just want to use wi-fi.
I installed modaco nodata, and kaiser tweak.
In Nodata I have:
at&t isp gprs - disabled
media net - disabled
my connection - enabled
kaiser tweak:
I also have pretty much all the data options disabled.
Now I am still a little paranoid, because when I wake up my phone the 3G logo shows for a few seconds. Is this just a little bug or is 3G on? I just want to be absolutely sure I am not going to get any data charges.
Thanks!
if your talking about the AT&T 3g video at startup, then that comes standard on the phone as a bootscreen. Also when I installed NoData to my phone a while back the 3G logo was still there but I tested it and I couldnt connected to the internet. However, be warned with the Medianet disabled you won't be able to receive picture messages.
No not the animation, just the little 3G icon in the top right where it shows your connection.

I have been using Modaco Nodata for over a year and it never let me down. I don't see why you should have to worry.
Thanks for the reassurance, now does your 3G Icon still show. I noticed it was on the whole time I was in my car with no wifi around.

the reason you see the 3g sign is because that means 3g is available, it does NOT mean you are connected to the net. If the location supports hsdpa than you will see H.
question answered, plus redundant thread. Thread closed.
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?
