I noticed someone else put up a way to run fastboot and put the H icon in place of where there 3G was. I was on stock AT&T and Ran to official Froyo with HSPA. Now it shows the "H" icon there. Anyone have the code and or file to make that the "3G" icon? Thank you guys.

Looking for a simple way to replace the EV with 3G on the task bar icon.
Any help appreciated!
Go into a 3G zone and it will say 3G
All the icon files are acually in your phone.... meaning the 3G one is in there as well. I would assume you could just copy and rename the 3G one to whatever the EV symbol is to replace it... I could very well be wrong though.
Question though, if your EV says 3G how will you know if you're in a 3G area or not?
On a CDMA device, 3G is EVDO. Whenever you have EVDO showing, that means you're in a 3G area.
By default, it will not explicitly show the 3G icon.
I noticed my phone has the H icon but I believe it is only because the 3G icon was replaced with that, so in order to make positively sure I would like to just change my 3G icon to one which definately displays "3G"... any help ? thanks in advance!
Anyone have a download of them? Just flashed a new rom and my 3G shows up as H on the taskbar. Anyone have a link to the originals? Not a big deal, but it'd be appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That H is for HSDPA, the higher-spec 3G (i.e. it indicates you're getting a theoretically faster connection right then)...you don't want to see that?
Ahhh really? Well, I checked the rom, and it seems like the H has just replaced the 3G icon all together. So, I'm either E (EDGE), or G, or H. For some reason, it's driving me crazy If anyone has a download, please post it.
Nevermind, I was wrong. I just got a 3G icon on there, walked a bit, and it jumped to H. You were right This can be locked, or whatever.
You can disable HSDPA icon with Advanced config (Data Connections), this way it always shows 3G. I do this because it's always referred to as 3G with Tmo USA.
One of the things I've noticed about the Aurora ICS ROM (2.02) is that my X5 no longer shows the H connection in the notification bar - 3G is the norm. I don't think the speed has dropped at all from the stock ROMs I have been using.
Does anyone else see (or not see) the same thing? Is the H icon missing?
Yes, you are right for the icon, it only shows 3G. But don't worry, if your operator provides HSPA service, your phone will still connect to this service, only icon won't change like in 2.2 and 2.3 stock ROM's. But there are some apps that can change the status bar icons, i use the rom toolbox, but I don't know if the icon packs have the 3G/H changing status. For me it's not a problem, I know to what service the phone is connected simply by speed it's transferring the data.
Cheer Schrauff - thought is was a bit unusual, but I can live with it
Sprint does this thing where they display "3G" even when the phone is only connected using 1xRTT.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the phone show 1x for 1xRTT and 3G for EVDO and eHRPD? There's a big difference between 1x and EVDO (60-130Kbps vs 750-1800Kbps) where I live and it'd be nice to know at a glance without having to open Settings->About->Status->SIM Status
Signal check will show what band/ connection type in status bar.
This Signal Check? Is that a pro-only feature? I'm not seeing anything about status bar in the Lite version of that app.
An app running in the background is ok, but I'm really more interested in something like flashing a new icon or changing a hidden setting or something. I'm currently on stock rom, but would changing ROMs fix the icon?
Yep looks like it's pro only
I found the free version of LTE Discovery can also do this, it just doesn't start on bootup.
