GPRS / EDGE registry hack - question

Made the registry hack to display the"E" while in an EDGE area...
does this indeed change from an "E" to a "G", while in a GPRS area?
Or is it just a change of the icon?
Reason I ask, is that I drove from one end of town to the other, and noticed only the "E" never the "G"
am I just lucky enough to have EDGE all across town?
thanks!

Yes your just lucky enough. The hack just makes the icons different, if your in a gprs area then it will show a G.

yeah u must live in a place where their is good reception. just like me. hehe. Its E wherever I go.

I have tried this tweak on my qtek9100 with the original 9/22/05 ROM
Code:
If your network provider supports the Edge network (and your device does as well), you can use the following to show a little 'E' icon instead of 'G' icon when connected to an Edge network:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
I know cingular supports edge in my area. Also, I know that qtek9100 specification says that it is EDGE phone. However, I still never see "E" anytime. Is it the same hack that you guys have used, or is it something else ?
Please let me know.

Hi..
If u are editing registry, then after editing it power off yr device for 15 secs and then reboot...else find out the cab which does that hack..

There may be a reason why the EDGE icon isn't turn on by default. And that may be that the icon dosn't work in all networks.

Operators probably dont want you to know that you are getting worse data in some areas, but if they made the icon say E all the time that would be lying. By making say G all the time you dont know when you have better or worse bandwidth by just looking and they arent lying about the bandwidth you are getting.
On another note i noticed that in the windows directory on the stock usa mda rom there is a 1xRTT icon. Why are they wasting space with this?

Well, yes I have cycled power on my device after doing this registry hack.
However, I have read somewhere that if "EnableDifferGprs..." key is not present in the same location, then this feature is not supported on your device.
I didnt have this key in the location specified, and like other tweaks, I had to create this key with the value 1.
Did your devices have this key already present in that specific location in the registry or you had to add it and set value 1.

You have an old ROM that doesn't have this feature.

yes, HOWEVER, i have noticed, that this indicator sometimes 'hangs' and showing wrong icon. for example when i know that i've left EDGE area and i'm now in GPRS-only coverage, icon still shows [E]. in that case, best solution is to switch off and on phone module, to force network registration again, but sometimes just making a call (to refresh network information) is just fine and icon turns right...

Tried that out. The provider supports it, as i know from my friends Atom. Changed the value to "1" decimal and turned off the device for 15 sec.
Still no luck :-( ...
Am I missing something?

I don't rec my mails when i m in an "E" display mode. Buy whenever the display shows "G", i receive all my mails?
If this is the case, then how do i keep my htc touch from only using "G" and an "E"?
Thanks

how to hide the network provider on smt5600?

Hi,
i would like to know how I can hide the network provider, i.e. Cingular, AT&T that's displayed on my smt5600. the reason is, i use my phone as my watch (i'm sure a lot of you do too) but the time is so tiny.... so i turned on the "large font" home screen and the time looks big enough but it's being pushed down and I'm only seeing half of the "time", because it's showing the "Cingular" above it.
just a side note, i'm also using a 3rd party software called facade to organize the schedule and the buttons, etc. this is the reason why the clock is on the bottom.
thanks.

You can use registry editor programs,for example:regedit
http://sharemobile.ro/file.php?id=98
and step by step method,100% work:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-
Software-
Microsoft-
RIL-
OperatorNames-
click to values-
click to menu and make New Value-String- and to Value name enter you code your network(ex.31410) and to Value data enter anything name you want!
Sorry for my english!

thank you for your help!

[HELP]how to remove the carrier logo on top left corner?

hello, jz got my htc touch hd. the carrier logo on my home screen's top left corner. and on my internet tab is really annoying. anyone has any idea on how to remove those?

thx guys. i managed to remove anyways. thx!

Line 1 Icon in Taskbar

hello at all
what ist this for an icon on the left side of the USB icon?
I never see this bevor. i know whats the icon for, but theres no way to make the icon invisible.
I flasht a new rom, and there is it too.
3 roms i tryed, on 2 is this icon.
i dont like it, because it was never there
is there a way to make this invisible?
i hope you can help me

do you have 2 lines active on your sim card? im sure its something like that, now its that icon i remember

i never change the settings, were can i do that?

Is there really now way to delete this icon or to make it invisible?
No cab or editor to overwrite this?

This is specific for Orange-provider (at least here in Austria):
The provider -code is: 0699, then comes 1 (meaning line 1) and then Your specific personal cell-phone number
Orange leaves the opportunity to have TWO cell-phone numbers on ONE SIM-Card, the second number then would show 2 (line 2) when active
There is no way to delete THIS, You have to live with it (except someone of the experts finds out exactly which manila-file is connected to this sign and manages to blank it out, but methinks this won´t happen)

I think i use the old rom, perhaps on a new version they use an other manilla file.
I cant live with this icon^^
thanks for you help and a nice weekend

I have the same icon but for O2 and as far as i know that is the icon that allows you access to the provider settings request system from the start menu. If i'm right it's created when the sim card is installed by windows so you can easily update the gsm settings and tbh i think it's persistant so you can't get rid of it and if you change sim cards the icon should change too.
I could be wrong on this but if i were you i wouldn't worry about it and just ignore it. It's not doing any harm.

yes that's right that's what it does I just don't want it there lol

i don't think there is anything you can do about it because it was in that exact same place in wm5, 6, 6.1, 6.5 and it's in the same spot in the latest energy 6.5.5 rom. This makes me think we have no control over it at all and just forgetting it exists is probably for the best (and good for your blood pressure )
