EVDO - Indicator no longer greyed out

Has anyone else experienced this. It just started happening this past weekend. Before, the EVDO icon in the top bar would be greyed out (since the ROM update) when the connection was not active. But since last Friday it just stays 'white'. At first I was worried that the connection was stuck on active but there was not noticeable affect on my battery life. I'm not sure if there was a change in the Verizon network that has affected the indicator. I actually, replaced my phone this morning (for another reason), and noticed that the indicator is still 'white'.

there was a program I installed once that caused this probelm, but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me.

The thing is that even with my new phone and the new ROM, the arrows would not grey out. Anyways, doesn't seem to affect the battery life, but it does sometimes disconnect, whereas before, the direct-push would keep the connection open (but 'greyed-out').

The real problem now is that my direct-push no longer works. I've done a copule of hard resets and actually the arrows are now greyed out. But now the EVDO does not stay connected and my exchange e-mail is no longer pushed immediately to my phone. I've called Verizon and they got rid of their wireless data technical support, so now I can't get anyone to help me and all they do is push me to UTStarcom or Audiovox and they're not much help either. Any suggestions or help appreciated?

i had the same problem.. its because of the rom upgrade.. i used the ppckitchen and the arrows never gray out, when i used DCD's kitchen, it always grayed out.. i just believe its the rom itself... some people say its the phone skin but that is not true.. i tested that myself.

How to disable GPRS failure notifications?

If the phone was connected to GPRS, and GPRS service became unavailable for a reason, the phone displayes a notification saying that it failed to connect to the access point etc., and this notification is displayed permanently, until I close it manually. The bad thing is that it looks like while this notification is visible, the system does not run other notifications... in particular, alarms do not work.
Is there a way to stop bothering me with such a notification?
For a while I see no other way but to manually disconnect from GPRS before going to sleep...

anybody got a solution to this problem, as it this keeps appearing on mine when using Tomtom trafiic, it covers virtually the whole screen, making it very annoying. There must be a way of turning it off.
if anyone can help please let me know.
Thanks

no one was ever able to help me with this for the 8125 either. I hope someone solves it on the 8525 though. because i'll be getting mine on tuesday

This is my dream to stop this as well...
But I can't find a fix anywhere

Suddenly ... "G" instead of "E"

Hi all,
I have an Elf, and use my phone "function" just for calls (no internet, no nothing else). Today I'm having some trouble connecting to my phone network, i.e. the device is "searching" now and then. Sometimes I can communicate, sometimes I can't. Sometimes I receive calls, sometimes I don't. This has never happen before! If I turn off the screen, the signal is just lost again!!!
Anyway, today I noticed that on top of the Today screen [Status Icons] there is a "G" [GPRS available] instead of the "E" [Edge]. The thing is that I never see the "G", but always the "E". Does this have to do something with what I am experiencing? How can I go back to the normal behaviour of "E"?
Sorry for my english. And thanks for any help.

hi gmorar, can you tell us more about it? what rom do you have?
maybe is just your carrier.
Saludos!

there are sometimes gaps in data coverage. Or possibly, your network is doing some work.

Thank you both for your answers. It must have been related to some work my network was doing. Today everything went back to normal .
Thanks again.

Big Issue - Can Make Calls But Not Receive

I have had a wizard for about a month now with few issues. After the first couple days I settled on Jaguar 4.0 ROM, and it has been working great except for a few times when it freezes / won't let me unlock the screen to use it.
However, the past few days a big issue has come about. I can make calls easily, but I cannot receive them. People say it goes straight to my voicemail. My phone doesn't ring, doesn't tell me I have missed calls, doesn't tell me I have voicemail.
Last night I found one thing that may be part of the problem. On the top, it shows the network strength - this is always strong. To the left of that, it SHOULD show an 'E' symbol, possibly for the edge network (at&t) ? Anyways, I know the E is there when it works. I can also connect to internet via GPRS when this is there. Lately, that E symbol no longer shows up. Intead, it has a different symbol with an 'x' on it (two arrows in opposite directions with a small x). At first I thought this just meant I wasn't connected to the internet for data usage at that time, but I've learned that I cannot receive calls either. If I try to connect to the internet, it says connecting but never connects.
If I click around in the menus and connection menus, or reset the phone (sometimes), eventually I can get the 'E' to show again and the phone is working like it should (not sure how to actually get it back, but after clicking around in menus I can). However, it doesn't stay. It seems to stay on a few minutes, I think everything is ok, and then I look at my phone 30 minutes later and that symbol is gone, thus I am no longer receiving calls.
It's weird, because I can make calls easily regardless of the symbol there. I'm clearly connected to the network, have a signal, etc. I've checked flight mode, which is always off. I've checked settings and everything looks ok.
Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix this?
Edit: Note - Turning flight mode ON and then OFF seems to get the E back and the connection restored properly. I think the same happens by turning the phone OFF then ON. However, it only stays fixed temporarily (less than 30 minutes) and gives no notice the proper connection is lost. I just find out next time I look at the phone and see it's not working and find out I've missed important phone calls.

Network Signal Loss when finishing a call (?)

Hi everybody,
I have a really really strange and concerning issue with my brand new X1.
I had a HTC touch for more than a year, everything was fine - now with Xperia I immediately installed Touch-IT v9, works OK but very often (not checked if sometimes it does not happen) after finishing a call and pressing the "hook" button I can see in the top bar that for a few seconds (1-5) the signal is complete gone and like magic it comes back. I cannot believe that this should be normal with WinMobile, as the HTC Touch did not do anything similar like this. I'm forced to GSM/2G.
Please let me know if this is something specific to TouchIT, or Xperia issue, or just happens to my mobile? I'm little bit concerned as it is completely new and should not behave like this.
Best Regards, and thanks for feedback!

Are you sure the signal actually is gone? It is probably the redetection of current data connection type as the bars up there actually indicate the coverage of the fastest available data connection type. Like having one or no bar for EDGE you actually have all the bars for GPRS. No need to go to 2G for that technical eccentricity.

Does anyone have similar experiences. Today i had the same problem when sending a SMS. Its no problem at all, only GPRS sign goes to unconnected and also the signal shows the "!" for 1-2 seconds.
Am I the only one having this experience?
