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

I have a T-Mobile Vario and I just put on the new imate rom. when ever im not running wifi i get the G icon (GPRS) in the top bar constantly. Ive had to amend the GPRS settings so it doesnt connect over GPRS by mistake. Is there a way to make it go back to the opposite arrows with the x icon?
TIA
Doug
The 'G' is the normal behaviour. It doesn't mean you're connected to GPRS, it just indicate that your network has GPRS coverage.
On the contrary, the two arrows with the 'x' mean that you cannot connect to GPRS.
So don't worry, your wizard is behaving correctly.

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
trying to get a Sony Vaio laptop working (Z31MN) with the built-in WWAN connection, and it's refusing to pickup my orange simcard.
anyway, so i can determine if it's simcard or laptop, how do i know whats available on the simcard?
currently running Dutty's Leo R4 rom, and
'3g' OFF - 'G' icon (GPRS?)
3g ON = '3g' icon
but how do i know if it's connecting via HSDPA? should i get a 'H' icon?
1. to share the 3g from your phone with your laptop over wifi use WMWifiRouter
2. yes H icon == hsdpa
Anyone can tell me how can I make my HD2 not connect to GPRS, it is a 3G sim but it keeps connecting G rather then H
Thanks!!
you probably dont have good enough 3g reception hence the phone keeps connecting to GPRS.
