How can I get my TMO US HD2 like this? - HD2 General

Please look at the attached photo, which is directly off of HTC's Europe website. The top taskbar shows the "H" (HSDPA) icon both above the "signal bars" and also to the left of them. On my TMO US branded HD2, I only get a generic "3G" icon above the signal bars, but nothing to the left (i.e. the "H" in the box as seen in the picture). Is there any way, aside from flashing a cooked rom, to get my HD2 to look like the Euro one? The only thing I want is to see the "H" both above and to the left of the signal bars. Please help, thanks in advance.

Try Lost in Asia ROM. Search the member "bobsbbq". The ROM is fine with few minor bugs.
Note: the ROM in the member's sig will work with US version HD2 (I installed 235xx Glass)

You just have to unlock it via a reg edit I believe. You might be able to find a cab through some searching. All it means is that you are connected via HSDPA.Which is really just 3g+, in real terms a bit faster then standard 3g depending on the exact connection and signal.

That is HSDPA or 3.5G service which is not available in all markets I think. I live in Northern VA and I get the H almost everywhere but sometimes I just get 3G bars when I'm not close to a major city

with a minute to search it was found. Try that it should give you a switch in connection settings to turn it on and off. If you have HSDPA in your area then you'll see it show up if not then you'll never see it short of modding the actual 3g image file.

T-Mobile branding removed G/E/3G/H icons on the left of signal icon. To get it back, you need custom taskbar or de-brand your phone.
Don't forget to run HSPL2 before flashing custom ROM.

With a minute to read, its evident that's not what I was asking. It appears as though Mingkee is right, TMo does like to remove the "H" icon. HSDPA can be enabled from the stock ROM, there is no need for the "switch". Thanks everyone.

The T-Mobile USA branded HD2 does not have the independent icon on the task bar. I actually hardreset my deivce twice thinking that the cabs I installed messed up my device or something.
All you have to do is install a custom taskbar and you would get it back. Not a big deal, as that icon is redundent, as it would just mimic what ever that comes up above the singal bars. Its a matter of getting used to it.

I installed the 1% battery bar on my USA HD2 and it brought the H and everything else with it for data notification

Already working?
Does that mean that inspite of having the 3G icon on the taskbar, the 3.5G or HSDPA is actually working when using the mobile internet??
Because i really do feel that the internet thru network carrier is fast inspite of not having the H sign!

The H on the task bar means nothing other than looks. If you are the stock rom and you have HSPA+ in your area it will just hve faster data with the same 3G icon.

I can tell the difference just by pages loading faster but you can always test on sites like www.mobilespeedtest.com

I use this and it works great on the stock ROM no need for flashing. Here is the link...make sure you use both sdkcert files and restart after everyone you install. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679518

I don't think so
Is it worth to get bugs and crashes from installed cab files just for the sake of changing the way ur stock ROM looks?
I'd rather stick with the 3G sign only than to get cranky error msgs all the time!
But thanx anyways for the tips!

It depends on what kind of cabs you're installing if you're going to have problems. A simple taskbar icon cab does nothing but change the icon pictures. Some do more. I'm using these icons found here. It also requires sdkcertsnew2015.cab (found in same thread). I have not had one bug, crash or bad result from changing to those icons.

I think i'm gonna give it a try, does it allow full uninstallation if i don't get along with it?
By the way, what does the sdkcerts cab file do, coz i saw it alot on other posts?

3G Symbol

Hi all,
I recently got my SPV 3100. I am using the original Orange ROM and extended Rom. Intially the 3G symbol was showing after the installation of the extended ROM. Now, after I have installed loads of apps, the symbol has reverted back to a U. Has anybody had similar or are there any solutions?
Thanks
Isn't the U (a very short version of the word "UMTS") the 3G symbol? The G is for GPRS/EDGE connection...
Yes it is - but i prefer to actually say 3G
Allright.. But what is the 3G symbole (as compared to the U symbol)?
It is just 3G rather than U
True, but its still bugs me, there must be a way to fic this?
there is, don't cancel the ext rom install. One of the cabs adds the 3G symbol. Either that or find out which cab does it and manually install it. Depends entirely on how much it bothers you.
shouldn't ot just be a case of replacing the "U" bmp with a "3G" bmp
can't find the "U" bmp/icon though
all the others are in the windows directory i.e. the "G" icon and all the other icons but not the "U" icon
where is it?
Guys,
These icons are held in phcanOverbmp.dll, you will need a resource editor like HeavenTools Resource Tuner to edit it. However, I tried this and was not successful, the files saved OK and I even signed it (possibly not correctly). I then placed it in the windows directory but for some reason it would not pick it up, still got the U. If I use the original Vodafone one which has the 3G icons it works fine (so I knwo it is definately this file) but the problem here is that this file also contains the Call History icons and I do not like the vodafone ones.
If anyone has any luck let me know.
I have rerun the orange ext Rom but the icon is still a U. I have installed the vodafone dialer skin, I wonder if this has something to do with it?

noob training
I posted a thread in the hermes section on how to do this. now all you have to do is find it!
I haven't reloaded mine since the newest rom, but I will soon. It's almost perfect. Curious Peezy if you notice yours not showing the correct signal strength? Mine will show signal when I have none and has yet to show the same value as the stock theme/skin.
I havent noticed it show a signal when there is actually not, but I would agree that it is probably not as accurate as we would like. I also noticed that at the top of your screen there are turqouis blocks (a couple pixels high). I have isolated this problem to the SPB today plugin. Im not sure if you noticed but it bugs me so much I no longer use spb until I find a fix. Another issue I have with the theme is the signal not showing connection type icon (3g, G, E, etc). I havent had time to search the wisbar forums for a solution yet. But if you know of a fix I might take the time to research it, if not no biggie.

I read the pixels across the top was SPB's battery indicator with the today plugin, not necessarily bug. It does match my battery strength. I don't notice it anymore.
That's the battery plugin.

unlocked shadow has horrible reception w/ cingular???

let me start off by saying i love this phone...i just came from a startrek. where i used to have full bars, i now have one to no bars.
everything else seems to be working ok other than delayed delivery times for mms.
have you done a reflash, if not i recommend you do so...
this should for the most part fix your reception issues... get a clean version of 6.0 or 6.1
Motivec,
Can you please tell me where to get a clean version of 6.0 or 6.1 for the Juno? I just got a used TMo Shadow from someone and want to install a clean ROM on it but I am not sure if
1) there even is a clean rom available
2) where to find it
3) how to install it
Thanks a lot in advance!
By the way, even though TMo ROM is bloatware but I do like the special interface they have for the Shadow. If I install a clean ROM am I correct in assuming that i will lose all that fancy menu stuff? Can it be had? Is there an alternative? like a cool touchflo interface or something?

the slider panel interface is pretty much the exact same as the neo interface that comes default on a tmo shadow
you're not losing much, and i prefer the slider panels, but thats just me

[REQ] TMOUS LEO1024 Rom

Ok so I tried installing a few roms and I'm not happy yet. Here's what Im looking for if anyone wants to help me out with finding a rom like this.
I'm looking for something that has the stock tasbar (where start is on the top and not the bottom like most roms i see). The other thing Im looking for is one that will say "3G" and not "H" or "E" or "G". So far they say "E" or "H", no "3G". Looking for something like Kumar's Rom. Was an awesome rom, very quick, but had an "H" and no "3G". Does anyone know of any that work?
My phone is hspl 2.08 (downgraded from 2.10) so it's ready to go, I just need to find a suitable rom. The only reason I want a new rom is because my phone is somewhat sluggish compared to some roms I have seen and used. Other than that, theres really not another reason. I like the way the stock rom looks and it has grown on me, so i don't want to make too much of a change.
Anyone have any suggestions that they know work? Thanks.
If want it that much badly, i shall provide you a cab when iam back home
Regards
Try out Josh's rom, it's very stable.

doesnt H represent a faster connection then 3g?
Yes it does, and to the poster: Why does it matter if you have an H in your status bar??? If anything, it's something to be proud of! There's certainly people here that would LOVE seeing an H in their status bars...
As far as the Start menu in the top instead of the bottom: I recommend the latest 21905 build of the Energy ROM
Good luck

i second both of these... what is the big deal, other than user preference, its not like it does anything extra, just switches icons when the connection type/speed changes.
I am using the latest NRG ROM and its fast, stable and while i download the version with CHT included, i just use titanium. I like sense and all that to be there just in case i get bored though

Thanks for the response, although this isn't what I was after. I get this one through the Samsung Tools. What I am looking for is the key that allows the phone to show 3G+, instead of 3G all the time. There was a thread here that showed how you could even make it say 4G or H or whatever 3 characters you wanted.
For the life of me I can't find it.

Ignore the space in the key name (that's the forum protection)
Also, you need to ADD the registry key entry if it doesn't exist.

Thanks again, however we are talking about 2 different things.
I already have the 3G toggle settings.
The one I am looking for is only cosmetic in nature. When I had the Rogers ROM loaded, the display would show either 3G or 3G+ if I had a faster connection. For some reason AT&T has disabled the showing of the 3G+
There was a post a while ago that showed the registry key to enable this cosmetic fix. I just can't find it.
Once again though, I do appreciate your efforts.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Connectivity\CellularUx\DataConnectionIcon
1XHSDPA = "3G+"
You can basically change it into anything (3 chars max.). And I prefer "H", instead of "3G+".

Thanks for the responses. Message number 6 is the one I was looking for.
One question though, will this change it all the time or just when the actual network is in the H speed range.
With the rogers ROM, I would see 3G and 3G+
