Hello,
For all those who are using their Trinity, do you get the E sign to indicate Edge network when your in an Edge area or you get a G similar to the Hermes? The manual says you should have E to indicate Edge and I am in an Edge area and see G. Strange.
Thanks,
Gilbert
same problem here.. probably just some early firmware growing pains.
... Aha, good to see that there are more then me who got a bit confused with the icons I get a G-icon when 3G is not available, and 3G-icon when 3G is available.
Same to me - cheers

after updating my jamin with the latest rom the network icon now shows "E" instead of "G" although I dont have EDGE technology and I use GPRS. I successfully made a GPRS connection and after disconnecting it shows "G" for a while then turns back to "E"!!!! anyone experience the same problem!?
this is not a problem. If your network is able to work with Edge, it will appear "E" and than when you connect it will appera "G" (because your device don´t have EDGE). This icon it represents what your network is able to offer.
the problem is; I KNOW THAT MY PROVIDER DOESNT HAVE EDGE!!!

who is your provider? as far as i know all providers in the use who is capable of using this phone on thier network is edge capable. outside of the small mom and pops. cingular/tmobile/cellularone are all edge capable.
sorry just read this thread over at hf.
I've had this . It momenterily shows the E and then reverts back to G. I am with Orange UK and I am in a Strong 3G network cell. I know that Orange are suposed to running edge out to areas with no 3G but not sure when.
I can only assume that it is picking up an edge signal from somewhere. To tell you the truth I wish I saw the E all the time . That would at least give me edge speeds .
This is defo a problem (Well doesn't hinder the phone). I was using my Jamin with copilot which was connected the whole time to Copilot Live via a GPRS connection. If I come out of the copilot screen and initiat a call the G symbol changes to an E . It then reverts back to a G when the call finishes.
Maybe your provider is doing some EDGE testing?
I have yet to get the TyTN, but I am curious as if there is a noticeable way of it being connected to 3G.
On the Wizard you get a G for GPRS and E for Edge.
Does a 3 show up?
The Vodafone ones have a 3 that appears where the G would be for GPRS. The HTC ones have a U. I *think* there are EDGE versions showing an E but I have yet to personally see it...

There is a "G" for GPRS and/or EDGE.
There is a "U" for UMTS and/or HSDPA.
Hi,
I live in Ottawa, Canada and work in NYC. I just got my Trinity from Superiorgadgets.com and I am in love with it. It is the black colored one and it is fantastic. One thing I noticed in the book is when I am in an Edge area the E sign will be on and when I am in GPRS area, the G sign will be and same with 3G when in NY but the question is, since I am using my Cingular sim card and roaming in Canada, there is only a G sign on my screen to indicate it is not Edge but I know Rogers and Fido use Edge unless they lie and this is not weird up in Freezing land. Can anyone shed any light on whether the E sign is activated on the Trinity and 3G not U is the indicator for 3G. I will know soon when I return to NYC for the 3G sign.
Best regards,
Gilbert

according to the manual the E sign is active...to be honest maybe the roaming rights does not allow use of the EDGE network....cause i am in Ottawa, and although i have a prophet i get an E sign...
Hi,
I live in a Edge area, and i've no E icon.
i thought i have to tweak the registry to enable it, but it is already activated.
At home, with "G" icon, the Trinity download speed: ~110kb/s (is it really a GPRS connection?)
at the same place, my Magician in GPRS: ~56kb/s.
The UMTS "3G" icon works, and download speed ~300kb/s.
I'm waiting for HSDPA ;]
download speed tested with:

Hi, thanks for this. Just wondering if you are using a local sim card for the prophet or a sim card from the US? I am using a Cingular sim card.
Best regards,
Gilbert

my bad i thought it was implied that i was using a local sim card...yeah my provider is Rogers, and i am using a rogers SIM card...im in the 613 area code, but go home frequently which is in the 514 area code. Never have a problem with losing the E symbol...and sometimes based on speed tests i get up to around 200kbps..its pretty sweet..but of course its not as sweet as using my wifi connection (around 1500kbps)...when HSDPA comes in (completely...just in Torontoish right now) i will be as happy as a clam

I would find it really strange if two operators allowed standard GPRS roaming and not EDGE roaming. Using my limited knowledge of GSM I'd say that even from a pure technical point of view it would only be additional headache (if at all possible).
I have an Atom Exec and I only get the "G" gprs icon displaying instead of the "E" icon for edge connection (yes, my mobile network supports edge in my area). I'm only getting about 30-40kbs GPRS download speeds too, so definitely not EDGE speeds. Is this a bug? Is anyone else having this issue or is this some setting that the provider needs to change on their end? BTW, I uploaded the latest ROM.
hey i am also facing the same problem .
bt my case is a bit different one .at some location in my house
i get E sign bt get G for the rest.
i want to kno if edge or gprs network availability has anything to do
with traffic???
plzzz reply
Hello all, a quick question regarding FieldTest. My Softbank is stuck with radio 1.14 and it does not show the E icon when I force it into GSM only. EDGE reception has been verified because my dad's Prophet almost always displays the E icon. So my question is, since the radio ROM in my device is so old, does it no indicate that I have EDGE reception, or does not go into that mode at all? Here are some screen shots from Fieldtest; it shows some values in the EGPRS categories, does this mean the phone does switch to EDGE? any help would be most appreciated.
the icon has been problematic on certain phones with certain roms, but if edge is available in your area, then if you're getting gprs, you should be getting edge, since they are really the same thing. do a speed test next to the prophet and see
