ok so i updated new mda us to offical rom 2.26 that tmo has on website and it showed an E for edge all the time ok fine
now when i did a hardreset it nolonger showed the E icon for egde just G
i went ahead and reinstalled update and still showed G i check the registry and it shows EnableDIfferGprsEdgeIcon as a value of 0 why did it change and why does it not show E anyone can help
thanks you guys rock!
-shrug-
After my friend did the update, he had an E.
When I did the update, I had a G, and had to manually set the E in the registry, haha.
I guess it's just funky Windows-ness.
i agree i spoke to tmo data tech support and told them that the tweak sometimes does not hold they refused to realize this problem as after i did 4 updates with same rom i went into reg with total commander and it still showed value of 0 so i did what u did change it to 1 and vola E for edge thanx for replay
Hi.
So are you actually enabling EDGE or just the icon with this reg hack ?
just icon... edge is always enabled newb.
lol ok
what is edge anyway ?
EDGE =
A faster data connection than your standard GPRS. Need a phone that supports it, but the Wizard does, so yeah. ^_^
EDGE is always on be default, but not all areas have EDGE. Where I live in the middle of Alabama, there's no EDGE, but where I work, Huntsville, my icon changes from a G to an E.

How can I know if I am using EDGE at my Qtek s200 or not? I see G sign at the top and not E. Is there a way to see if I am in the EDGE area or not? Like normal mobile phones has E letter when the phone is in EDGE coverage.
BTW,
EDGE [E] icon instead of GPRS [G]
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" value="1"
(Original Value = 0)
I tried the registry hack above but although I change the value to 1, after I soft reset I see it is back to 0. Why I cant change it? Any thoughts?
If I understand correctly changing it to E will always show E and not switch to G when on GPRS
Anyone else have more info?
So it is not possible to see whether i am in EDGE or in GPRS?
:?:
I asked this question in Howard Forums I was told the indicatior does not change dynamically depending on the network (Edge/GPRS) but will always show E no matter which one you are connected to. Based on this I did not change the reg
My Jamin has that registry key set by default, and my device does show a G or an E, depending on what it's detected.
I've seen it change from G to E and back again quite frequently, so it (registry key) does not force it to stay on E.

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try.
Guess the info I had gotten earlier was incorrect

Same here - I'm sitting at home with a 'G' right now - and I generally get an 'E' in the office.
I am making speed test to understand whether i am in edge or not For instance at home i get around 40-45k while 300mt away from home i can get 120k. But all the time i get G at the today screen. :?
I am using this hack for about 2 weeks in my wizard and fortunately it shows E or G depending the presence of Edge

Hmm.. Why I cant change the value to ''1'' then? :twisted:
The G or E does change on the latest i-mate rom. You could also go and run a speed test.
go www.dslreports.com/mspeed/ and select 100k, 200k or 600k
if your reaching over 50, you are probably on edge
Edge is not great in suburbs of cleveland, but i get 85 to 135 kbit/sec....
I seem to get lower speeds on the smaller files..
I get about 130 for the 200k file in about 14 seconds on my jamin with edge and about 37 to 45 on 200k file in about 44 seconds on my jasjar with gprs (I really wish the jasjar had edge) it has utms, but usa does not have utms 2100 band..
I have a TYTN and never had had the "U" come up on my phone. (I am with Tmobile). I recently upgraded to the newest HTC ROM and as soon as you go through the date and time setup and you tap to start using the phone, it immediately displays a "U" for the UMTS signal.
Then the extended rom kicks in and does its stuff and after the reset the "U" is gone and replaced by the "E" for EDGE.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Did I ever really have UMTS?
I have my band selection on auto and I have tried also to change the band settings. It tells me that there is s data call present and to try later.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

No you never had U. The new Cingular ROM always says U if you do not have the ext_Rom installed. I live in a E area on Cingular and it did the same until I put the .....PPT......cab from the ext rom on the device.
Your Right
You are right. I reset my TYTN and reset before the extended rom began. The "U" was there. I put in internet2.voicestream.com and the little "E" appeared above the bars while the big "U" was still there. I ran a speed test just to be sure. I got a wopping 135 kb. It was nice to see the "U", even if it was fake.
Thanks for the help.
Allan
Is this an official rom, final and released? or a test build?
I recently was in Boston (3G area) - 8525 with upgraded ROM, showing both "U", and at times "H". However, there was no real difference in speed (DSL mobile test). But, interesting none the less to have all four symbols (G,E,U &H) displayed.
Ok simple and possible stupid question...
All yesterday my phone was displaying the E icon next to my antenna showing that there was the possiblity of connecting to the Edge network... Now I happen to work in a area where 3G is not supported but I live in one where its spotty.
I went home last night and while fooling with the phone I noticed the U icon instead of the E... Note I'm NOT using the MEdia connection either, I know this is just simply stating that 3G is currenty avilable where I am.
Now I'm back at work today and the U icon is still there, so I got to test it and when I connect it connects with a mini E above the antenna bars.... So why does my major network icon never change showing me whats avilable?
I installed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons for my vp3G rom, so I dont know if maybe thats causing it?
I just signed up for media maxx today so I'll test my media connection when I get home to see if it shows up with a 3G...
It doesn't show you what's available. It shows you how you connected, if you are connected.
Um, no it shows whats avilable because this is showing up when my phone is not connected to the MEdia Net service.
Right from the manual.
The LARGE U an E icons are the ones I'm talking about...
Either way I removed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons program, and it went back to a E icon
so I think it had something to do with that.
The manual is wrong. I am in a 3.5G area, and my connection icon routinely changes from E to U, even while using it.
You're trying to solve something that is not only not solvable, but is also not a big deal anyway.
so i have an 8525 and it is run on tmo usa..... should I be getting an e for edge when i am in that area? I read somewhere I should get E for edge and a G for gprs when not in edge area..... If this is the case it seems I am always stuck on gprs... any fixes if thats how its supposed to work?
U should be getting E when on edge...could be your icon says G but U'r really on edge? Some Roms are missing the E. U can try this cab or another rom if u like...
well i had the icon in the rom.... I ended up upgrading the radio to 1.47 and now I have edge.... yea!!!!! apparently stock radio from att wasnt letting me have tmobile edge!!!
Good Catch! Glad u'r all set now...
Dont notice too much difference though.... maybe a tad faster
Hello,
Does someone noticed about gprs or edge icon in htc wizard.
When the edge icon is disabled ( i.e In default settings ). It shows G Icon at the top of screen, that is normal. BUT when we press the power button at the top of the device and press it again, The device wakes-up. But the G icon changes to E icon and resets after softreset ( i.e G icon )
Points:
1. G icon changes to E icon when we wakeup the device!
2. Only After softreset it goes to normal. i.e G icon but same probem after wakeup!
I tried all the roms in this site but same problem. Also changed the radio rom.
Please someone check this in your phone
Many Thanks

The GPRS / EDGE Icon 'E' or 'G' changes according to the service available in the area of use.If the Edge sevice is available in some area,it'll automatically change to 'E',otherwise,it'll remain 'G' as default.

Hello,
Ok, but why the icon should change only after I wakeup the device.
Another thing I noticed that:
When I connect to internet via GPRS but it shows as connected to EDGE in brackets when I click on that E icon. I do not have any EDGE connections only GPRS!
Thanks for reply

GPRS icon not visable after wakeup
Hello.
No reply
Just uploaded some screenshots...
After I start/boot my htc wizard it will be like G icon in top of the bar ( i.e screenshot_1 )
After I press power button the device will go to sleep mode and again I press the some button ( i.e power ) the device will wakeup. but the G icon will be conveted to E icon ( i.e screenshot_2 ) that's the problem.
Another thing I noticed that:
I connected to internet ( i.e GPRS ) before going to sleep mode and I clicked on that G icon and it showed as "connected to GPRS). But when it goes to sleep mode and when I waked it and the icon has changed to E icon. And again I clicked on that E icon and it showed "connected to EDGE" instead of showing GPRS.
I have disabled the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" setting in registry. Plz you also disable this before you test the my problem.
Plz anyone check it and tell me.
Many thanks

GPRS/EDGE is the same thing. gprs is a slower network than edge. it still comes from the same provider. If you notice, in a city you will have EDGE almost always, while in some parts of the country you only have GPRS because they have no need to update towers.
as far as the wizard is concerned I do not believe it is capable of 3G so it will only get EDGE/GPRS.
I tried to use a sim card from ATT but it did not get 3G speeds. My friends phone is also not 3G capable even though it came from ATT.
I'm not sure what your concern is. if you have E vs G it means there is a better network around, but it still comes from the same carrier.
Gprs / Edge
Thanks...
By-the-way. I edited the operator name and given it as cingular. But the my default operator is cellone.
My sim is of BSNL not the at&t.
My problem is that why the icon should change when the mobile goes to sleep mode. After wakeup the icon will be changed ( i.e E icon ) and also my connection details will be changed ( i.e GPRS to EDGE ). This problem only occors upon going to sleep mode and after wakeup.
I tryed all the wm6 and wm6.1 roms in this webiste, all have same thing. But this problem will not occors in WM5. The icon will be G and will not change upon Sleep mode/wakeup.
This problem is only with WM6 & WM6.1.
Many thanks
Srikanth
thats weird.
I sometimes get pissed when im otside of a city and it turns to G. then I feel like I'm in the boonies.
I never saw the issue you are describing. maybe it is your network.
Gprs / Edge
Hi,
OK. I will try with other networks/sim cards.
Many Thanks.

Gprs / Edge
Hello,
OK DONE.
Now the E icon is stable/visible after startup and also at wakeup.
What I did is:
1. Enabled the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" setting in registry.
2. I Downloaded and installed the GB-SOFT GPRS Tweak app.
3. Opened the software and there was 6 tweaks in page.
4. I ticked on the "Search GPRS [G-E-3G] on start radio" box & rebooted.
5. Now: At the startup of my device, the G icon will not display and only the E icon.
6. And also will not change after wakeup ( Thats stable ).
Ok, now the E icon is stable. So I edited the "EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" and given it as 0 to disable it ( i.e To show G icon instead of showing E. )
But without luck. The problem rised again.
I think that, this problem is due to RADIO ROM.
I Tested some of other radio roms also but had no luck. Today morning I also flashed to WM5 offical rom but there is now problem with it ( i.e GPRS Icon is stable ).
Do you know which RADIO Roms is the best and fixes my problem.
I tested these 4 Radio Roms:
1. 02.07.10
2. 02.71.11
3. 02.37.11
4. 02.47.11
Many thanks
Srikanth.K
Try these both,they are considered to be the most stable and with good radio signals :-
Radio Rom 2.19.11
Radio Rom 2.69.11
Same problem
Hello
Tryed these radio rom also as you given but have same problem.
I think that the GPRS will search only when wake up but not at the startup of the device.
May be, there are some tweaks in registry that can be made to search the GPRS on startup of the device or an startup app.
Do anyone know that, GPRS and EDGE are the same sevice or thay are different?
Does anyone know that, any software/app that show where I am ( i.e Network Name, Name of area & etc )?
Many Thanks
Srikanth.K
