Grey edge icon

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.

3G connection keeps "stopping".

Hi, the search button has failed me. (Two posts in 2 years isnt too bad is it?)
My issues is.... accessing the internet over 3g works fine (and HPSDA) Internet, push mail everything... however, If I drop out of coverage at any time my internet connection vanishes as to be expected. However once connection is re-established still the Internet fails to work. It shows connected to 3G or HPSDA but all websites time out and Activesync reports waiting for network.
The fix is to go Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage my existing connections.
Then I simply "Next" thru all the settings until I get to the end. Press Finish. The data connection drops and the re-establishes and Im working again!?!! Very Annoying!
Im running. Duttys 6.1 Rom (April) and a few bits a pieces (It happens with nothing installed also and with another ROM I tried in desperation!) T-Mobile UK
Does this sound like a Radio issue to you guys? Should I try another Radio or Ditch Dutys Rom? (Which I love)
Any help gratefully accepted.

If Downgraded to WM6 (T-Mobile stock ROM) and Im still having this issue. Very frustrated.
I've found a few posts from the US who seem to have the same sort of issue. 3g does not recover after dropping out of service.

Not sure what to do now...

I've had the same sort of thing, I just disconnect (Long press on the red End call key or click on the 3G icon in the top bar and hit disconnect), and let it reconnect.

I have exactly the same issue with mine as well and its only started recently. I too have found the only way to fix it is to go through and 're setup' the connection. Disconnecting and reconnecting, rebooting all seem to do nothing...

I think so... however, Im such a light "voice" user I never really notice... I'll double check the next time it goes. IE When I get a cuppa tea at the office..

Which symbol is most of the time in the top of your screen G/E/3G/H...?! Check this one out also --> my 3G issue

I usually have a H (1 or 2 bars), when walking around my office this can drop to a 3G connection at times.
If I head to the basement, I drop to the Areial symbol or completely disconnect.... When the H or 3G connection starts again my Data connection fails as described above.
(However, I am able to make normal outgoing voice calls, not tried incoming yet)

Ok, I think I have a work around that seems to be working for me.
I set my BAND to GSM only as a test.... and it worked for the whole day, when I dropped into a NO SERVICE area the data connection dropped. When it recovered my data connection was back and working.
Obviously GSM is too slow, so I've now set my BAND settings to;
Network Type - WCDMA
UMTS Band - UMTS(2100+800)
And also diasabled HSDPA.
Currently everything seems ok... Now my connection does not drop from HSDPA>3G>G and back up again it seems to work fine?? Seems the issue may be with switching between the GSM standards??
I realise I wont get coverage in GSM only area's, but consistant data (Push Email) is just as important to me.

I've the same problem, but changing settings to gsm only is no solution. In this case I have to restart my Kaiser to get a new working connection.
I also have many Problems since updating to wm 6.1. Can I downgrade to the original german 6.0 or is there a really stable german 6.1 out there?

I've been getting the same problem as well for the past month or so.
Have been 'fixing' the problem by either putting the phone into airplane mode and back again, or rebooting the phone.
It's getting quite annoying though

Stopping the phone dropping to GSM seems to work for me. Leaving me with HDSPA and 3G.
I'm lucky to be in a good 3G coverage area I guess.
Im not sure who we should log this issue with? Carrier or HTC?
Are we all on T-Mobile having this issue?

i'm on o2 germany and a one day test with t-mobile didn#t show this error
with o2 i have this problem about three times a day

any new ideas since july ?
Sometimes i want to throw my phone away.

I'm still having the problem as well. Has anybody figured out a solution?

WiFi signal issue

so when I turn on the WiFi, it does connect...but my signal icon shows zero...i am running Cyanogen 3.6.8.1, does anyone know how to make the signal appear?

do you get throughput (i.e., does the browser load pages). What type of encryption do you use? Have you tried to reflash?

it goes connect to WiFi...or at least I think it does. browser page does load alot faster than 3G, market is faster, etc. I haven't though about reflash...let me try that first..

same problem too
i go through the something sometimes.... but if u r connected to the wifi even though the sig meter say zero then your good.... if ur wifi is on and u see 3g then u know that its really outta range.... i haven't tried to fix it i guess cyanogen knows and it will be addressed

i just reflashed the ROM with no luck....oh well, at least the WiFi still works i guess...

conection data 3g fail or get lost every time

when i am in 3g mode I can call but when i want to use my internet , it's says "No have conection" so.. i tried and tried and then internet came back to me for few seconds loding only a part of the webpage and then Stop !.
i need to turn it to 2g mode for surf on web pages, but it's more slow and if I'm surfing in internet i cannot recive any call.

What can I do?
please let me know how to fix it. thank you.

[Q] Anyone else having issues with being on 4g but no data moving

I just wanted to see if this is just me or not before I call tmob about it. I have no problem being on 4g and one less then max on the signal but when I request anything even just google.com it sits there till it times out and watching the data movement I see it try to send the request but nothing. If I do it ten or twenty times it may work for one page.

I have the same issue but I'm using the t-mobile note 4 on cricket. ?

I have been experiencing this issue for a few months now with little resolution. I have contacted Tmo and went through the entire ticket process without change. I notice it the most when I am unable to load emails in-app. Usually, when this is happens, I turn on wifi and immediately receive emails and notifications that were waiting to be delivered.
It appears the connection is going dead, and it requires a request to connect(Data off, Data on) to reconnect. Best part(or worst) is I can see the top of the T-mobile(they confirmed it) tower from my front yard.

I have similar issue but pertaining to wifi and 4G LTE my download speeds have not reached greater than 5mbs but my upload speeds go to 6mbs on my wifi tried restarting going in and out of airplane mode searching for new network connection and still nothing faster than 5mbs
Any thoughts?

So far I found installing a new rom onto the phone helped a lot. But still not perfect or very fast, even got my note 3 back out and it runs faster. I've replyed to a message from samsung so we can wait and see what happens but what really gets me is that if I use speedtest, it works at 10mbps no problem. Open chrome and goto google and it just sits and sits and sits annnnd times out.
