3G/Edge symbol display problem - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

After scouring the Wiki for the better part of 2 hours and multiple searches I am forced to actually ask a question.
Up untill a hard reset to restore lost MMS settings this morning, I did not have this problem and yesterday I upgraded to the 1.38.00.11 radio and did not have this issue then either.
After the hard reset, here is my issue.
Before I had a large 3G icon and a small 3G icon over the signal strength, now I get a small 3G with two arrows while connected and nothing over the signal strength.
Here is a picture that shows what I see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Top shows what I did have (replace the U with 3G) and the bottom is an example of what I see now with two arrows while connected.
Anyone know how to revert back?
Thanks

hmm try this cab file it put a 3g icon where your U is then mine switches above the two arrows depending on the network. i don't know why it switched like that though.

Let me clarify, the picture represents what I see but with a 3G (bottom).
I used to see what's on top with a 3G instead of a U.

I would be shocked if this problem is unique to my device....
I think I am going to load hard SPL and downgrade the radio and see where that gets me.
Update, flashed 1.10 Oli and reverted back to 1.27.00.00 radio and I still have this issue. I am thinking maybe the hard reset performed to restore lost MMS settings caused this.

After reading a bunch of the display problem threads in the WM6 forum, I decided to hardreset again.
Still doing it - I give up.

As a last resort try using the Cingular carrier settings at www.htcclub.net
I know it doesn't set my data or medianet connections but anytime I have gotten the wrong signal icons it has worked. Which btw is pretty random for me depending on what rom I'm using.

Well if I just hard reset and let the extrom reload, wouldn't this be the same?

The cingular settings cab didn't fix it. This is really annoying as there seems to be zero explanation on this.

dead center... I've searched searched for a solution but haven found it-can you help?

Ok my screen works, alignment is whack because the CENTER of screen doesnt work. I have seen a few people have had same problem but saw no results that worked. so open invitation to those that are skilled.
KJAM with WM6
Problem: the exact center of the screen does not work, its about exactly 1 centimeter to each extreme. on screen alignment it takes about 10 tries to finally exit alignment mode, *i dont know if its tired of trying to align it, that it just gives up* but screen center still does not work. everything else is fine but it doesnt work.
Tested the problem: to see the exact affected area i went into notes with draw mode. i made tons of horizontal and vertical lines through the inner part of the screen to see which was th area that didnt work. and it looks like this.

MMS not working

My brother and I both have an Alltel touch, and are experiencing problems with the MMS. It say a 1kb limit is there a registry key I can edit to fix this?
Do you have a data plan?
Man I too have been having problems on my Alltel Touch for quite some time. I've tried just about everything I can, to get either Arcsoft 3 or 5 to work with the latest 20755 from PPCKitchen.org with no luck. I've tried the OEMs in the kitchen and a few cabs I've found around here and there. I dont care which version I have to use, I just want one to work, So please, if you make any progress please let me know in this thread.
I've been up all night and I'm too tired to remember details right now, but I'll post tomorrow and let you know what I've found after dabbling with this for awhile.
What rom and what version/origin of arcsoft are you using?
I don`t think I`m have arcsoft, I`m pretty sure it was removed from my rom due to a secruity hole. The rom is Whodaman`s TF2d ver 1.6. My brother had this problem with stock Alltel roms before I ever used custom ones on his. It said a 1kb limit, at the time when he pointed it out me we were roaming in San Diego, but when we got back it was the same. I tried another rom before the one I`m using now, conflipper`s I believe, and it was supposed to have a registry edit that allowed MMS up a couple Mbs. even with that rom I couldn`t get it to work. Maybe I flash back to stock try it, and if it works I`ll record the registry settings to see if there diffrent, as far as arcsoft goes I dunno too much about that.
Is this what you see?

Greyed out GPRS logo?

I recently bought my HTC Touch HD and I was wondering what this greyed out GPRS logo means:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am not sure if it affects the connection, but I think I can still call and be called, but not receive text messages. Although I haven't really tested that yet. I already tried searching the manual, but it doesn't mention anything about it.
I have installed the following software and updates on the phone
- Official HTC ROM upgrade
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- TomTom Navigator
- HD Tweak
- TF3D Theme Maker 3.3
- Sprite Backup
- Pocket Sudoku (game)
- I244 Atomic Cannon (game)
I am not using internet on my phone yet.
Can somebody explains what this greyed out logo actually means and does to my phone?
Thanks in advance.
i had this recently but it was because i hadn't paid my bill!
think it means you have no internet access due to it not being allowed.
i thought it was a taskbar glitch
i had it for the first time the other day but only when i left coreplayer
i assumed the screen was having trouble coming back frm the display correctly
Its because your internet has been disabled.
You prob wont have mms access either.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm with PiLoT on this. I had this about a year ago and it wasn't just with this symbol, also for HSPDA. Phone connected fine to internet but symbol was still greyed out. It was a glitch which sometimes went away with a soft reset. I'm not 100% sure how I eventually fixed it, possibly a combination of changing taskbar/rom etc
i didnt need to soft reset though i just waited a few seconds and it happened
I don't think it's a glitch, I read somewhere that it's a different type of connection, may have been in the Orange guide which came with the phone... I'll try and have a look around for it and let you know
I get the greyed out logo when I disable GPRS Auto Attach using Advanced Config (in Data Connections section). The greyed out logo can be G, or H depending on the coverage at my location. Re-enabling GPRS Auto Attach sets the icon back to normal.
The greyed out logo just means that it cannot establish a data connection with the tower that you are currently registered with.
This will be for one of two reasons;
1) you've turned off your data connection (as the user above has)
2) there is a temporary problem with the network/tower

Top Paid Section missing in Android Market for Nexus One?

My top paid section is missing in the Android Market for the Nexus One. Anyone else see this? is there a reason why??
No its there. Are you in a not-yet-supported country? Maybe your provider hasn't done the necessary paperwork. Post some info!
that's odd. I am with tmobile. I did sign onto the market initially with WIFI and then with 3G. Anyone know how to correct this? I have to totally reformat? or can I just clear my market cache or something?
having the same issue, on t-mobile, i also went on with wifi before putting my sim in
Might wanna try a hard reset this time using 3G first to see what happens.
sorry to be a mega noob but i don't know how to hard reset it, i tried holding the ball and the power button and i get this fast boot screen thing.
edit: nevermind i found it, i feel stupid
edit2: that fixed the problem
Recently is disappeared the column of paid apps from my market
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They are present in "just in" and in the research, but the column is missing.
Is there a solution that does not involve the wipe?
I had this problem until I finally put my sim in. The market appearently uses the sim to validate your location. Could be you need a new sim from T-Mobile and there is some issue with yours.
I spent about three days setting up mine before moving the sim over and used wifi for everything. Once I put in the sim everything worked fine and it showed all the paid apps.
I have never had that Paid apps in my Market section.. I ordered my Nexus One and had my brother ship it over to me in Kuwait. It never saw my ATT sim card, only a local Wataniya SIM card.. Guess it will have to wait till I get home to be able to use that feature!
This helped me: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...daco-com/303251/paid-apps-android-market-1-6/
In special, the last part about the xml.

Thanks!!
It works!!

[Q] SwitchPro Widget causes data connection loss

so I have a rooted vibrant and ever since I started using SwitchPro, I've had connectivity issues with my data.
At first, I didn't even use the data toggle on the widget and I was still getting 3G dropped. I tried to add the button to my widget to control it that way and it worked fine. 15 minutes later though, the icon is no longer highlighted as shown in the pic below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so what I have to do now just to get data to work is to toggle it on and off just to get it to reappear.
in the SwitchPro options there's a box to check for "Data connection" It says "Use APN toggle - if the data connection toggle doesn't work, you can try this"
^ I've tried checking this box but my data connection still doesn't work
- I've tried uninstalling it and everything goes back to normal.
- I'd like to get this working though since the app is pretty useful.
just curious to see if any other vibrant users are having this issue and have found a fix for it. I've read on the forum that some SwitchPro users have experienced this as well
see?! data connection on.. no data on top bar
SwitchPro displayed my connection properly but would not function when I tried to use it to toggle my data connection. If I used the widget to turn off the data connection, I could not get it back again unless I rebooted. I also tried the APN setting, and it didn't help me either.
Maybe e-mail the dev?
I have been using Switch Pro for 2 weeks and this has not happened to me. Maybe it's because I do not and have not used the "Data Switch".
yeah Keslynn, i'll probably try emailing them about it.
jrwin, I've tried uninstalling and using my phone w/o switchpro for a while but as soon as I reinstall the widget I have issues again.
I would definitely like to use the app w/o having the data connection icon there but we'll see what happens
