Greyed out GPRS logo?

I recently bought my HTC Touch HD and I was wondering what this greyed out GPRS logo means:

"lightbox_share": "Share",

}
I am not sure if it affects the connection, but I think I can still call and be called, but not receive text messages. Although I haven't really tested that yet. I already tried searching the manual, but it doesn't mention anything about it.
I have installed the following software and updates on the phone
- Official HTC ROM upgrade
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- TomTom Navigator
- HD Tweak
- TF3D Theme Maker 3.3
- Sprite Backup
- Pocket Sudoku (game)
- I244 Atomic Cannon (game)
I am not using internet on my phone yet.
Can somebody explains what this greyed out logo actually means and does to my phone?
Thanks in advance.

i had this recently but it was because i hadn't paid my bill!
think it means you have no internet access due to it not being allowed.

i thought it was a taskbar glitch
i had it for the first time the other day but only when i left coreplayer
i assumed the screen was having trouble coming back frm the display correctly

Its because your internet has been disabled.
You prob wont have mms access either.

I'm with PiLoT on this. I had this about a year ago and it wasn't just with this symbol, also for HSPDA. Phone connected fine to internet but symbol was still greyed out. It was a glitch which sometimes went away with a soft reset. I'm not 100% sure how I eventually fixed it, possibly a combination of changing taskbar/rom etc

i didnt need to soft reset though i just waited a few seconds and it happened

I don't think it's a glitch, I read somewhere that it's a different type of connection, may have been in the Orange guide which came with the phone... I'll try and have a look around for it and let you know

I get the greyed out logo when I disable GPRS Auto Attach using Advanced Config (in Data Connections section). The greyed out logo can be G, or H depending on the coverage at my location. Re-enabling GPRS Auto Attach sets the icon back to normal.

The greyed out logo just means that it cannot establish a data connection with the tower that you are currently registered with.
This will be for one of two reasons;
1) you've turned off your data connection (as the user above has)
2) there is a temporary problem with the network/tower

feel about two roms

i installed lightspeed and flex rom both.
at present i more like flex rom because i feel maybe it is more stable and more quick(after start, a little quicker)
both have the following problems:
1.both can't find hidden ssid wifi. i have to show ssid.and i feel the conncetion with wifi is weeker than android 3.2 because away from the same distance, the signal is weaker.
2.in both's email, if you want to show combined view, the email app stops.
3.both can't use facebook and twitter app although i can login in on brower. flex rom can use youtube app and till i un-install lightspeed, it can't.
4.in somes app, such as nfs etc, the backward arrow response slowly, needing waiting the app completes its own process and then you can quit by backward arrow.this arrow response more quick in android

Add Network in Wifi settings to connect to network not broadcasting SSID.

Facebook app from market works just fine on flex roms, I think you need to learn how to clean tablet.
You got to know flashing roms can give corrupted data.
Leftovers from previous rom.
Result conflicts and bad running rom.
I didn't try twitter because I hate it.
I could care less if someone just wiped his a$$ and want to twitter about it.

Actually the problem is a little deeper than that for me. But good advice still.
I can get my Iconia to connect to a hidden network on the first attempt. What I mean by first attempt is that about the only time I can connect is immediately after setting my wifi to not broadcast ssid, then adding the network as you've shown. It connects the first time just fine. But once I roam out of range and come back there is a less than 50/50 chance that my tab will "find" my network again. I just gave up after leaving the house a few times. I don't really care if my ssid is seen anyway. My password's a good, meaningless string of numbers and letters. I doubt that even the neighbors kid can bust through that one...

nfc wifi connecting help

ok guys im allocating some nfc tags around the public bar i work at,.
i want to put 2 tags on the main bar that connect customers to our wifi, now i know i can do that with commands however
we are using a broadband system provided by heineken beer company, users connect the wifi network, but then must open theyre browser and click a default webpage that comes up instantly to connect to the network.
so how would i set the tags to
connect to the wifi and then click the "connect to heineken wifi" option on the default page?

Are you sure about NFC with its max range of about 20cm? Either way I would imagine that the WiFi hardware supplied takes care of redirecting the user at login

yes that is the idea, customer walks in touches the bar designated spot and connects to wifi,... we dont want a long distance force connect to every customer lol
the supplied wifi asks for the user to open webbrowser and click "use wifi" before actualy being connected. is there such command to get around this?
im on a secret mission to make our bar android friendly :highfive:

Could this the case?
To restrict wifi access to current customers and to make the connection easier (selecting correct wifi service and keying a strong passphrase) the customer touches the tablet onto the bar mounted NFC device and the network wifi config is beamed to the tablet and the customer elects to process the download and get immediate network access.

But it has a button in the middle of the page saying "free premium wifi" the user must click this button before actually being connected to the net,.

[VIDEO] Non-Verizon Nexus 6 VoLTE Working

Make sure you have HD Voice provisioned on your account https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/accountholder/services/displayProductsServices.action click on Manage Your Products, add HD Voice, should provision in ~15min
If you're not seeing Enhanced LTE, dial *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, scroll to turn on VoLTE flag, restart device or put into Airplane Mode
Now go to Settings ---> More ---> Cellular Networks and Enhanced LTE should now be enabled

Not working for me.....button in *#*#4636#*#* never changes to anything and I never have option in more settings

I think the key to getting this to work is to be on a 5.1 ROM.... I tried with 5.01 and the new baseband, but I think the settings are in the ROM.

Correct, you need to be on 5.1 for VoLTE

dissapears
i can get it on my phone but as soon as i go to use it i lose lte and then my advance option disappears. could it be possible my sim card doesn't support volte? I had to use a sim from an iphone 5 to get service. I think that sim is different from one that's in a M8 or moto x. Any input would be appreciated.
Edit- got it working by going on Verizon and removing hd voice and the adding it back. SIM card is fine..

Thanks Worked Like a charm. Finally the one major thing I wanted on the N6

Worked for me, but took about 5 - 10 minutes to provision. Thanks!

Worked for me, purchased directly from moto

No Cell Service when using WIFI

So let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am trying to connect to a Barco Clickshare (CSE-200) via wifi using the clickshare app and then open chrome and go to a website.
The Clickshare for those that don't know is a wireless content sharing device for meeting rooms. It's like a wireless access point but with no internet. You connect to it on your phone by connecting to its wifi SSID and password and then use the clickshare app to share content from your phone to a TV or whatever display the clickshare access point is connected to.
So when I connect to the clickshare wifi (which has no internet) I am no longer able to go to a website or use internet. My phone doesn't seem to be able to use my LTE service while the wifi is on. I talked to a guy at Barco and he said thats not normal. My LTE service should still be usable. My coworker who has the iPhone 6 is able to connect to the clickshare wifi and still use the internet on his phone from his LTE service.
I should note I am using the MSL/dun trick for hotspot.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Enable developer mode by tapping the build number in the about menu a bunch of times, then go to the new developer options menu at the bottom of the settings screen and turn on the keep mobile data turned on setting.
It's still possible that in the routing table on the phone the cellular data will be associated with a higher cost, and therefore the data still won't go over it even though it's enabled, bit worth a try.

I did what you said pitcherj, but no luck. I do now have the LTE icon at the top above the cell bars which before I didn't, but still no internet. Anything else I could try? I did restart the phone as well.

Nope, no thoughts. Without root you can't recost the network interfaces AFAIK. Maybe someone else has an idea.
