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.

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.
Any theme makers out there with soem spare time?
can some one make a status for 2.2 that will show 2G or 3G status on signal i.e GSM and UTMS. I use a 3rd party app which shows this but i would like indicatior like all other phones.
thank you!
I would like this too. I have to go INFO just to see that
Is there any easy way to enable the 1x icon when I am connected to 1x network and not 3g. I also want to get rid of the 3G icon it makes me feel dirty. I want to replace it with the Ev icon, I like my CDMA network 3G makes me feel like I have a GSM phone.
I dont want to flash a custom rom for this either I am running EB13.
Thanks!
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
I see a problem - in the notification bar in the system settings I choose switch 3g/2g, this switch in the settings I choose 2g/3g only/2g +3 g. But when you switch to "3g only" mode switch indicates "3g/2g" and in fact remains on edge, the icon jumps from "H" to "E". Is there a problem with someone? And does anyone know how to force the regime to "3g only"?
I think there are some bugs yet and we have waiting to new releases.
Yup.. Having the same Problem. Waiting for newer Release.
Switch to 3G and restart your phone. Bad way but helped me in getting "H"
