Hi,
I wonder if anyone experience the same problem like me where the 3G icon sometimes look smaller and nice looking, but sometimes look bigger and ugly.
I have flash my rom with the latest shipped rom which i downloaded from HTC official website, and this problem still unsolved..
I have spb shell v3.0.1 installed in my jade.
Can anyone advise me please...
Thanks in advance.
Vincent
i think what you mean is this:
the icon 3g can change into a larger 3g- a G only- or an E. This happens according to the signal strength you recieve from your network (or so).
However, it is nothing bad. It happens automatically.
Hi Qabooz,
Thanks for your advise.
Cheers.

Actually sometimes, 3G can change to 3G of different graphics, especially when you customise the phcanoverbmp.dll. To understand where the graphics come from, follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441829
Hi Azahidi,
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Does anyone know why my "G" icon is sometimes greyed?I mean, no problem it is a G, but why is it on gray background?
I don't see in the user manual anything like that..can it be because of my ROM?
In order to try to save a little battery and because i don't use data connections (wifi only), I set GSM only and deactivated HSDPA, does it have to do with it? Thanks
P.S. i've looked around for some nicer top-bar icons like some people have,but no success:any advice?link?
I'm not completely sure what icon you mean, but I think it is the icon that indicates that a GPRS connection is available (not connected).
To connect to the internet you can have different mobile wireless connections: GPRS (with a G-icon), EDGE (with an E-icon), 3G (with a 3G-icon) and HSDPA (with an H-icon). GPRS being the slowest, HSDPA the fastest, EDGE is not available in all country's and not every connection is available everywhere.
its saying that u are using 3G

This is out of question, 3G is disabled with NoData.cab and HD Tweak.Furthermore, the name of my gsm operator changes when not in 3G.
@whizz: Thanks for your clear explanation, but as a matter of fact i have 2 "G" icons available (not at the same time), one is the white "square G" on black background (let's call it default, present in the manual) and another one wich is a normal G on grey background..curious..I'm sorry!I wish I could post a screenshot!
EDIT: Here's my guess, I am on a GPRS network but using only GSM..could it be?
Sualc, I can't answer your question but I have wondered the same myself. I also see the greyed out icons sometimes. I haven't bothered researching it becasue it doesn't seem to be a big deal but I would like to know as well.

Thank you for witnessing the same , I was afraid people could think I had hallucinations.Yeah you're right, compared to dozens of other REAL bugs this subject is really not important, just to know...By the way..I just left my bedroom and went down the stairs and now I've got the standard icon!!Tricky, hum?
Greyed out icons mean that type of connection is available, but not in use. It's white when in use.

Implausible - I have my internet connection APN deliberately mis-set to prevent any data connections at all. I still get both normal and greyed out icons from time to time.
Grey G icon means bad or no gprs signal I think. I have somewhere read about it.
Thanks, anyway there is already a signal strenght indicator near the G..but if you read it somewhere no reason to doubt.
I can confirm I get that grey G icon sometimes... it might be a rendering screen bug too....
i get a E for edge and a g for 3g
It may mean a bad signal but the device polls so infrequently as to make it pointless.
Behavior just observed.....
1 - I had an H (HSDPA) with a grey background.
2 - I connect to the internet and get an H with a white background.
3 - I disconnect from the internet to try and a grey background but it is still white.
4 - I walk over to the elevator (bad signal) to try and get a grey background
5 - The data icon goes from H with white background to G with white background
Conclusion ..... non informative and quite meaningless
I am 90% sure that the grey background means bad signal... When it shows in my device, it happens always in areas that reception is poor.
Not unique to the TD2. I get the same from time to time on my Touch HD. Have mildly wondered but never bothered to research.

It happens to me too, but not very often. It´s not about not being connected, because the white icon is there when there´s no connection.
The GPRS signal being too weak seems like a good explanation to me.

I'm afraid the G icon we're talking about is not among the ones lsted there..so until something "official" comes out could we say that "G greyed icon" = "GPRS band selected but not availabe "?

the G is there, the 2nd reply attached with the picture explains
G(dark color) = GPRS available
G(grey color) = GPRS unavailable.
First post, bit of a lurker here. Just upgraded my XDA2 after (how long?).
So, got the touch HD. And I find it has a [E] or an [H] on the taskbar. I've checked previous posts, and the GPRS is disabled, but I really really dislike the icon being there. The XDA2 didn't have it there, although it also supported GPRS. Is there a reg hack, or a tweak, something I can do to hide the icon? I don't care about the connection, its the icon that's bugging me....?
Or is it that I'm asking the wrong question? Is it the case that if I can see the [G] icon, I must be connected to gprs, and so to hide the icon I just need to kill that connection (something i thought I'd already done)?
The G/E/H/3G icon just shows you what is available, doesn't mean you're connected.
It is possible, i had a taskbar on the diamond, called ahen by sunnyin that had no G/3G/H icon
Not 100% sure on this one, but I don't think you can actually get rid of the icon as that is a WM feature to show you what is available (if you're connected to GPRS/EDGE it will show it on the signal bars). However, what you can do is change the icon which 'G' and 'E' to just be black like the background so you won't be able to see it. Hence the actual icon notification will still be there (taking up space) but you won't see it.
I have the same problem. disabled GPRS and any way of my phone accessing 3G or 2G, but there is still an E in a gray square showing up at the top. This happened after I first installed cooked roms. My guess is that other apps are attempting to access 2G, because another problem linked to this was an error message, ""there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning", which I've since then fixed (but the E problem remains)
Edit: lol I just realized this thread was years old. but if anybody has a solution, please comment

please explain more, did u install on phone memory or memory card?
any error message? did the signal bar on garmin showing any green bar?
it shows a green bar i installed it on my memory card. but the signal bars usually are orange i left it on over night and when i woke up i had two orange bars... i installed the htc gps enhancement and i went outside and got bout 3 bars the max. its working fine just not at full signal.
Make sure you're using "GPS INtermediate Driver" and not "Comm 4"
Tap the signal meter, then disable. Select "GPS Intermediate Driver" then enable.
I applied the GPS tweaks in this thread, made a HUGE difference:

thanks!!! working pretty goood..
i had to stay outside for a while for it to pick up signal.. i guess when using it for he first time you have to let it sorta sync in for a while
Regards..
My HTC Snap automatically disconnects the phone call when the 'EDGE' is available.. I noticed that every time when the call disconnects the '3G' status indicator turns to 'E' !!!
Any clue??
TIA.

It seems I remember that there was an issue with call-dropping when one got out of range of 3G service and was switched to Edge service. I had it right after I bought my Dash 3G, but it went away after upgrading to WM 6.5.
There might have even been a WM 6.1 patch that I installed, but I really don't recall for certain.
