I have and love the new DJ05 update I just have one question. Ever since I installed it I have a new Icon on the top status bar of my phone that is like a diamond box with a plus sign in it and then off to the right side there are some curved shaped bars that get progressively bigger like a voice or signal strength icon. At first I thought it was my GPS but when I turn GPS off that symbol stays there and when I am using GPS then I get a different GPS icon. I'm not sure what this symbol is and I was just curious if anyone knows what it is.
Ok so I just unticked all the location services in the location settings and the icon remains on the phone but the curved bars next to it go away if they are all unticked, so it must have to do with my current location. Maybe it is just a little notification saying it knows where it is.
Hey, why don't we tell the world that we have dj05? There was a reason that you're supposed to not talk about it on forums...
Please refer to irc.
Retrokid's updated AOSP theme gets rid of the icon by making it transparent. That's the only way to actually get rid of it at this time as far as I know.
Thatdudebutch's SuperDark theme also gets rid of it.

Has anyone else experienced this. It just started happening this past weekend. Before, the EVDO icon in the top bar would be greyed out (since the ROM update) when the connection was not active. But since last Friday it just stays 'white'. At first I was worried that the connection was stuck on active but there was not noticeable affect on my battery life. I'm not sure if there was a change in the Verizon network that has affected the indicator. I actually, replaced my phone this morning (for another reason), and noticed that the indicator is still 'white'.
there was a program I installed once that caused this probelm, but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me.

The thing is that even with my new phone and the new ROM, the arrows would not grey out. Anyways, doesn't seem to affect the battery life, but it does sometimes disconnect, whereas before, the direct-push would keep the connection open (but 'greyed-out').
The real problem now is that my direct-push no longer works. I've done a copule of hard resets and actually the arrows are now greyed out. But now the EVDO does not stay connected and my exchange e-mail is no longer pushed immediately to my phone. I've called Verizon and they got rid of their wireless data technical support, so now I can't get anyone to help me and all they do is push me to UTStarcom or Audiovox and they're not much help either. Any suggestions or help appreciated?
i had the same problem.. its because of the rom upgrade.. i used the ppckitchen and the arrows never gray out, when i used DCD's kitchen, it always grayed out.. i just believe its the rom itself... some people say its the phone skin but that is not true.. i tested that myself.

First of all thank you to DCD & No2chem and many others that have posted walkthroughs and help. My flashing went perfect with your help.
I'm having an issue after upgrading to the various 6.1 ROMS. When I go into a roaming area, I get a flashing triangle (roaming indicator). When I'm not roaming there is no indicator. My work pays the bill for my phone, so the home area is when I'm at work. I live like 30 mins away, so when I'm home I'm roaming. Worked like that before any ROM updates, but icon didn't flash, so it wasn't a problem. The flashing/blinking icon is very annoying and casues any other icon that comes up to the left of it to bounce back and forth as the indicator blinks.
Like I said before the flashing went perfect and have absolutly no other issues, Email, GPS, Internet, EVDO, all great. Did the *228 option 3 & 2 to setup and update roaming info.
I would like to know how to get it to stop blinking or just remove it completely. I don't pay the bill and don't get charged to ROAM so I don't care if it has to be totally removed. Reg edit would be fine, or even an app that removes or changes it.
I have searched here and ppcgeek's forums and google for days before asking.
My Setup:
Alltel ppc6800 with dcd 3.0.1, radio 3.35
PS: If any other Alltel folks have a question for me I would be happy to help. I have flashed to 2 different custom ROMS than back to original and then back to DCD's.
go to the windows folder and open roaming.bmp. if that's the icon that's appearing delete it
Disssable Icon Roaming
I believe that is a better idea to visit this link

Wow, can't believe this post is a year old! Sounds like you might be on a fringe area, or Alltel's PRL has odd roaming display settings. Looks to me like Butcher, well, butchered this problem right away. Now that it's been awhile, you might also want to look into getting one of dcd's newer ROM's and a new radio. Should be able to find both either on DCD's file directory or here on XDA. Good luck and happy hacking!
Anyone else get this bizzare ICON next to their signal and battery on the top bar?
It just popped up a few hours ago in between wifi and the signal bars.
It looks kinda like this:
o\~
Except the "~" is more of a sideways "L".
The HTC website is useless on the Desire Z. I have figured out it's not voicemail notification, email, facebook etc. I killed all other programs running and it's still there.... Hasn't done anything but I can't figure out what it is!!!
Ah ha! It's "silent mode".
NM! no idea how I turned that sucker on.
Starting around 6PM eastern last night my phone decided it wanted to poop itself.
In the signal bar there is a circle with a cross in the middle.
I'm not getting any bars or anything. Literally just the circle icon.
I've restarted the phone, airplaned moded it. Even did a full rom flash.
And nothing seems to do the trick.
Anyone maybe have any possible ideas?

Have you tried another simcard in your phone or tried your simcard in another phone? Maybe your providers network in your location is down.
I just let my phone update from OG5 to OK3.
Now I have a new icon in the notification bar. But, it's greyed out, so I didn't even see it at first.
Any idea what this icon is?
It looks like the 4G and Wifi icons mashed together into one. The upper left quadrant of the icon says 4G. The upper right has a lightning bolt. The lower left is the WiFi symbol. The lower right is the up/down data transfer arrows.
Like I said, it's all greyed out. I still have the regular WiFi and 4G LTE icons in the notification bar as well and they are both lit up and working. The new icon is between the Bluetooth icon (on the left) and the regular WiFi icon (on the right).
What does it all mean?!?! Oh, the humanity!
I believe that is download booster. You should be able to turn it off in settings>more networks>download booster
Ah HA! Yes! I just verified, that is what it is!
I saw DB in my settings the other day and turned it on to see if it makes any difference. I didn't notice the new icon at the time, so I thought it was something with the OK3 update.
Thank you!
ps. Any reason I would not leave that on? I have Unlimited Data, so I don't care if it results in higher data usage.
With unlimited data I cant see many downsides to leaving it on? It might use more battery when you are downloading large files (in exchange for downloading them faster?)
That's what I was thinking. Thanks.
