[Q] Replace H icon with 3G

Hello, just wondering if anyone had a solution for changing out the HSDPA icon for the original 3G icon.
This is more of a personal preference than it is a problem.
Sometimes, after reconnection to the wireless network, it will show it as 3G for a brief moment, then will return to being H.
Thanks in advanced.

if rooted, you used to use metamorph to change the png files to whatever you wanted. but you ahve to be rooted.

[Q] I dont get 3G icon in my Xperia X8

Hey guys i want to have a 3G icon in my xperia but i cannot get it please help me with this issue do i need to change my network settings? i tired googling but i could not find any solution please help

Hi there,
I have a Xperia X8 with the Rom "Froyobread" installed, too.
At my homescreen I can't find the "3G" symbol like its normal as on Apple's IOS.
But there is a "H" below the two arrows, which indicate the up- and download.
The "H" stands for HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access. I think its the same as the "3G Standard".
If there is an "E" below the 2 arrows, indicated at the top corner, you have only the slower EDGE Connection. As a consequence, it is the "2G Standard".
Greetings from Germany.

Hey dude thanks actually i get the H icon in my Mobile i thought it is lower than the EDGE i think getting the H icon is more than enough.

but is there a way to see if some data are being transmitted or if the "H" symbol just means that that area is covered by HSDPA service?
On symbian, for example, you always see the 3G icon, when under coverage...

Well, you could use Phono, which you can get from the market, it will give you a lot of details about your network and its free!!!!!

What i get at the moment is the Signal strength icon which sometime has a Small H with it, I also get the Wif and Battery Icon but i don't get, EDGE, 3G, Sending and downloading 3G data, Sending and downloading EDGE data,
I get all other notification icons appearing like email etc, but no Status Icons for 3G or Edge.
I just wondered if they had been turned off somewhere..? But i can't find any options for them. I dunno if they are in the build prop like the NFC icon i set this to true and that now appears.

Network icons:
H or H+: you're connected to 3.5G / UMTS network.
3G: you're connected to 3G network.
E: you're connected to EDGE network.
Each icon will appear depends on what network you're connected to. And they will NOT appear when you're connected to wifi.
About the data upstream / downstream indicators, look for small upwards and downwards triangle under the network icons (of course when you're not connected to wifi).

"!" icon on network connection, still have data

So this morning i noticed on my way to work that my cell network icon has a "!" mark next to it, with no indication of the connection type (LTE, H ect). at first i thought it was because i had no internet connection for some reason, however, when i pull the notification shade down i see the icon for network connection has the connection type (says LTE) as well as the "!". So the notification shade had LTE and the ! while the status bar icon only had the "!". I confirmed that access to the internet was fine by checking websites and running speed tests. Anyone experience this issue?

I did as I posted in my other thread about this. Now if there is a way to put my Preferred Network Type back to "Global" instead of LTE (recommend) I switched it because I thought I had no internet either until it showed LTE on the notification shade too.

Looks like it was a problem with tmobile this morning, back to normal now

Phone shows -70dmb in signal but always 1 signal bar?

hi guys. I have an annoying isssue while using AOSP or CM-based roms. I have a m7vzw. The signal is good when i use sense or GPE rom, but with aosp and cm, my signal bar always show 1 bar, sometime it even drops to 0. I checked phone status *#*#4636#*#* and network type is global, signal strength is -70dmb, ASU 255 (or 225,i dont remember). In battery history chart, the color of signal on is orange-red (while GPE and sense shows green,which mean good signal) and has little spaces like they were dropped to no signal
i dont have screenshots right now because i restored my backup, but i can re-install if needed
Is there anyway to fix it? i switched to GSM in preferred network but it doesnt help. Also i still have H+ data (my country doesnt have LTE yet)
