I am wondering if my M3100 is on a UTMS Network. It is displaying the 3g and the little 3g. I am pretty sure this means the UTMS network but I wanted to make sure. My Downloads do seem to be BLAZING here in Nashville.
It should have a U in a small white box in the top bar if it is on the UMTS network.
Hmmm...what website does everyone use for speed tests on their phones?

I am getting speeds of 550, with only a single bar. I really hate when people open their mouth and don't know what they are talking about.
In my defence in Australia when you are on the Telstra UMTS network (Next G) you do get a U. I know this because I am getting one and have used one extensively in the shop.

Correct but all providers customize their ROMs
I know that they customize their ROMs. All I was doing was trying to do was help a fellow member and if you want to flame me go right ahead.
remind me not to try to help slimsaturn with any issues he has. Although it does seem that he has issues that cannot be resolved on this board.
Try anger management.
In Europe all unbranded TyTN's ie Hermes 200 have a U when on a UMTS or Super UMTS network irrespective of the telecom service provider & I would think this would be the same worldwide unless you have a network branded device who have installed their own rom.
Guest69 and scip01 I completely agree with your comments and I to will not be helping slimsaturn again and I remember when I was reading reviews of the Tytn they did have a U and that is why I said it. Thanks for saying something it took some guts.
Just look here and you will see the U http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JASJAM.aspx
My Tmobile Vario2 has the "3g" logo, but I'm sure it uses the UMTS and even the HSPDA.. I did came upon a registry modification done after a hard-reset where Tmobile changed the "U" into "3g".
If you do a hard reset ('clear storage') on the SPV M3100, then do a soft reset just after you press the screen to reset (you have 3 seconds!), this will stop all the Orange extras from installing and hence display 'U' instead of '3g'.

I'd like the 3G rather than the U; and I believe AKU3.0 fixes that by default now.
Change "U" to "3G"
Hi Guys, I am with Telstra Australia and after playing with a couple of phone skins I found that the "U" had changed to a "3G".
I much prefer the "3G" and have looked through everything trying to figure out where the images are kept.
Is it an image file or a registry setting.
This is no big deal but would certainly like to change it if I could.
(If you install a T-Mobile skin it appeaers but disappears when you uninstall it and go back to the default phone skin)
Thanks in advance.
Icon can be changed, but it's complicated:

Change "U" to "3G"
OK vijay555 spill the beans...... how complicated!
Any tips!!!!
Well, very complicated for me (involving quite low level hacking) with my limited knowledge, but achieveable.
However, I'll leave the question open a la Fermat because I'm sure someone's got a better solution.

Hi all,
I've been reading that the registry hack to show the Edge icon (E) when connected the Edge network does not work on the Tytn. I'm on Cingular in the US with the original HTC Rom and 1.03 radio. Has anyone with a Tytn successfully been able to get an E icon? I either get a U or a G... never an E. And we clearly have Edge here.
Before getting the Tytn, I had the Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday) and it only showed G, even when successfully on Edge. A quick registry hack fixed this. No such love with the Tytn...
SP
From the HTC Hermes Frequently Asked Questions wiki page:
The reg tweak working for the previous models to show the [E] instead of [G] when you are on the EDGE network is not working on the Hermes

Ha, Vijay, I love the icon you have! That's great.
I honestly want it for practical reasons. It appears it doesn't matter right now though. Hope the next HTC Rom will address this.
I've not investigated how or why the E/U icons are implemented for non UK phones, we only get 3g or G I guess. I can check it out, but are there extended rom customisations by your operator that you've skipped, perhaps?
V
When you say skipped, do you mean did I skip the installation of the programs from the Extended Rom on my first startup? No I did not skip it, I allowed everything from the Extended Rom to self-install on the first startup. Or do you mean have I skipped looking into the Extended Rom to see if there are other apps in there that may be customizable?
@vijay555: In the US we get either a U or G. Apparently, the "3g" icon replaces the "U" icon in the UK. AFAIK there is no E/G differentiation on any Hermes device. Either an Edge or a GPRS connection is signified with a "G"

So in other words it's harnessing full EDGE goodness at its full possible speed regardless of the G on the display, right?
Aaah, good to know, quod erat demonstrandum.
Re skipping extended rom, yes, I was referring to the extra install on first boot.

YES if you are in Edge territory you will use the Edge network even though the display says 'G'
Ive just had hsdpa added to my account but CS didnt seem like they knew what they were talking about.
Will it say on my account in my t-mobile somwhere that i have this feature?
Thanks.
If it does could you let me know where abouts in my t-mobile it would be
Somewhere in extra services or something like that, there should be a feature called 384k Uplink and it should be enabled if T-Mobile have enabled HSDPA on your account.
ok thanks, cant see it anywhere on my account i called t-mobile got through to a tech they said its enabled on my acc and i wont be able to see it on my t mobile as its a free service,
I get my vario ii back tomorrow went for a software update missed the post on sat
whats the best place to do a speed test and what speed should i get that i know hsdpa is deffentley enabled?
Thanks again
Can you tell me what version you had prior to your upgrade. Were you having problems? if so what with?
Just checked mine and the exact name of the service as you should see it on yours will be 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' and it should be enabled.

In any case, to do a speed test browse over to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 on your device and select an amount to dowload. It's a speed test page for mobile devices so you might want to save it in your faves if you ever want to check the speed.
As for the speeds you should be getting...
3G - Max Uplink Rate - 128Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 384Kb
HSDPA - Max Uplink Rate - 384Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 1.8Mbit* (*Current theoretical limit on T-mobile)
I usually get around 1Mbit speeds with 2-3 bars of signal.

I had one like this, mine was the QuickGPS needed updating. Check if you have anything that needs an update.
Sorry to sidetrack the threak... what theme is that one? It looks really good.
It's the roaming symbol
I installed this Icon set as well, as far as I can tell it is the symbol used to show you are roaming, ie travelling abroad.
Best regards
Ed.
What the name of this icon set?
and because your provider is telfort, you will always be roaming. telfort uses the kpn network, that is why the yellow icon is always there

That exactly it, when I first got my HD on telfort I was worried that I get overcharged for the roaming cost so I called telfort customer service. They told me that is normal since they operate over the KPN line and I should set my phone to KPN to remove it, but somehow it won't stick. I don't really mind the extra icons, but everytime I get on the weather tab it would ask me if I want to used it even if I'm roaming, might as well set it up as allways when roaming.

Are you on a CDMA Phone?
Because I know your taskbar and mine (I use brians updated taskbar) are meant for GSM phones. EV, 1x and so on are icons from a digital network and so they will not show up the way a gsm phone would show them. Ev is pretty much like 3g for digital pcs phones.
Heres what my diamond looks like:
So there really isnt a fix because the taskbar wasnt meant for our phones to begin with.

I checked the post you downloaded it off and can confirm after using the taskbar myself that the Ev icon doesn't show up.

Hi all!
I wanted to enjoy everything that my HD2 has to offer so today I made the switch to a provider, which offers me 1GB free traffic/month.
Great and all.. but, since I made that switch, a "1" is appearing on top, next to the connection status icons (on windows mobile).
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my connection, because as soon as I toggle off "phone" at the wireless controls, it's gone.
Can anyone explain me what it actually means? And maybe, how I can get rid of it?
Thanks in advance
Pyr0wl
I think when the "1" is present, that means that your Line 1 is active. Same goes for other active Lines.
Atleast, with iWireless, that's the situation.
[iWireless also allows a Data Connection whilst on the phone too, so I'm assuming AT&T phones also have the "1".]
Okay, with the info you provided, i went off to scour the internet, and I found some information.
It seems indeed, that the number on top, indicates which line I'm using And, if i press the "#" on my keypad, I can switch from line 1 to line 2. This is called, alternative line service. All it does, is mapping two different phone numbers to your SIM card.
Now i'm just looking for a way to disable this, because, i don't have a second telephone number mapped to my SIM
So I was HALF way right. Pretty good guess.
I'll do some research and see if it's possible to disable the "Secondary" Line, though, I think it may be a SIM Function, not device... as you did say in your first post that you switched carriers... which means a new SIM.
As most people know, tampering with the SIM Card (Excluding your Contacts & Web Settings) can be a bad idea...

right on bro thanks for all you have and are doing
Did some research, and found out that it CAN be disabled but you have to speak to your provider about it.
The actual Service Name is called 2-in-1 Sim Service. See HERE for more info. Though that article is quite old, it seems many providers now support 2-in-1 Sim Service for Business customers that wish to have a Business Number AND a Personal Number all on one device.
I called my provider and asked about this service, and they said it is, in fact an optional service, but it's pre-configured on the SIM Card. At the moment, my provider only has one style of SIM.. so I can't remove my Secondary Line availability.
I recommend talking to your provider about the service to see if you can disable it.
Hope this helps m8.
