Hi guys,
When I'm connected via GPRS there is a G-icon in the system tray, when I connect via UMTS there is a U-icon.
I'm supposed to be able to connect via HSDPA in my area...but I haven't seen a H-icon (as I would expect...), is that normal? If you are connected by HSDPA, what icon is there in the systray...any experience, anyone?
regards,
Vic

Is it normal for the GPRS symbol to appear in the top taskbar when the XDA2 is in the cradle?
Is this using any GPRS traffic?
Also, can anyone recommend a good (preferably cheap/free) GPRS counter for the XDA2?
TIA!
sure it's ok. (if you allow your ppc to use the net connection through docking station via active sync.
why should the ppc use the slow gprs connection if the fast line of your pc is available as well.
your second question: spb grps monitor is your friend

Hi All,
is it possible to use a Bluetooth connection to an
external UMTS mobile phone and use this UMTS phone
as a modem for the Magician to surf the Internet in UMTS speed ?
What UMTS phones could be used for this ?
Could this also be done via USB cable to save electrical power,
cause BT always uses up much power ?
Have there already some UMTS phones be tested to work
as a Modem for the Magician ?
I own a O2 XDA mini and want to use the German O2 based WAP
Flatrate to surf the Internet via UMTS this way on my XDA mini.
Thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
I seem to be right at the edge of UMTS coverage where I live. When connected to a UMTS network I get one or no lines showing signal strength.
As a consequence, the connection gets broken off frequently and then reconnected to GPRS (which is strong). Then transferred back to UMTS and so on.
Especially the transfer from weak to no UMTS and then switching to GPRS is a pain. lost connection, having to dial in again, sometimes even getting an errormessage.
Is there a way to configure my device to not use UMTS?
I have a Universal.
Hello
To do this you need to go to start/settings/phone
click on the 'Band' tab at the bottom and then use the 'select your network type' drop menu to chose 'GSM'. This will disable the UMTS band and save you ALOT of battery as well.
Please let me know if this helped
This infomation can easily be found in the universal forum.

Hi!
When connecting to the internet the icon on top of the screen changes from a triangle-ish thing with bars/columns under it to a icon with the text "3G" and arrows beneath it (which all of you probably know...). I know im connected through 3G to internet by then but what about when that icon changes to 3G with bars/columns instead of the arrows. Does that mean that a connection is established but I don't actually download/upload any data?
Basically what I'm wondering is if I can have the phone connected to the internet for faster access without any traffic going on until I start, for instance, surfing the web. Until now I always deactivate the connection when I'm done with it.
Another question I have is if there's another icon for hsdpa (aka 3.5G or 3G+) or if the phone still uses the 3G icon for those connections.
Thanks in advance!
"I have is if there's another icon for hsdpa (aka 3.5G or 3G+) "
then it show a H rather then 3g
having a data connection open don't mean it transfer data it only do that if a program running tranfer data
Hello,
Since a while I have a SIM with wireless internet on my TD2 5358+ WM 6.5
Works fine only very slow.
I wonder if I have 3G reception, it’s status says G (boxed) and a small G with the antenna indicator.
Pressing this icon displays connectivity, mobile internet (GPRS)
When I google for this phone I see pictures displaying also a boxed H.
Who can explain if I use the best settings?
John.
G is 3G, H is HSDPA
G is gprs, it will show an H if connected to hsdpa, and 3g if connected to 3g. If it displays an H, you have the fastest speeds, followed by 3g and then gprs. Try going into the comm manager and changing into 3g gsm mode
