I don't have no 3G, G , U or H icons in the top bar.
Only a Connection icon with a cross there, that mean's that there is not a connection available there. But there is. I have 3G connection really and i can connect to 3G, and when i connect to 3G then there appears the 3G icon but when disconnecting 3G then it appears again the connection icon with the cross.
Any idea in how to recover the 3G icons in the top bar?
I've read all the post regarding the famous 3G icon and tried a lot of them ( shogun, nicer, U, WXML memory patch &......) but this icon never appears. only the crossed one.
thanks in advance

I have just upgraded from a Kaiser to the TP2.
Using comm. manager on the Kaiser I could manually select 3G to be on or off.
I installed advanced config manager and enabled the 3G tab in comm. manager but it remains greyed.
Any data connection I make appears to connect in Gprs mode with no 3G or H icon displaying in the top bar.
How do I get 3G working on the TP2?
Am I missing something here?

It automatically goes to 3G if it's available. I don't get 3G in my house. But you don't have to do anything, it's automatic.
T-Mobile removed the icons for the mode. They only did a half-ass job though as the mode shows up once a data connection is established over the bars. Oops! I think this is an attempt to hide the fact that on the roads and byways, most of T-Mobile's network is still GPRS - not even EDGE!
Find one of the Icon packs here on XDA - they work. It will connect in 3G automatically if its available. You can shut that off (doing so saves battery if you're in a known no-3G area as it won't search for the signal) on the Phone settings option if you wish.

T-Mobile has the icons for the 3G mode. It has the "E" for Edge and "3G" for 3G.
It automatically connects to 3G, there's no need to search for anything. The only reason you'd want that is if you want to NOT use 3G.

Yes and no.
The "standby" icons for data mode available ("G", "E", "3G", or "H") are missing from the T-Mobile load. The proper mode does identify over the antenna bars once a data connection comes up, but in data-standby, its missing.
This is an intentional omission as the standard Icon pack from HTC includes these. If you load one of the icon packs off XDA they will "magically appear."
I like knowing what mode is available (not just in use, if any is in use) so I have one of the other icon packs loaded - plus I think they're far more pretty

OK thanks. I agree, I also want to know what mode I am currently using. Can you recommend one of the icon packs?
I'm partial to the Spikes' MicNeo ones here.

i did the registry hack so that i could get the H icon instead of just always having 3G but the icon that goes on the signal meter when connected to the internet still says 3G while i have the larger icon with the H. is this normal?
yup, it is
att changed the h to a 3g too over the signal bars. which is funny because if you do the hspa icon disable registry edit with the h icon intact, it still does 3g. dunno why att had to go that far to make sure people never see that they are on hspa.
oh ok. thought it was weird since it was always both the H sign on both places
Found it. Deleted.
New to Android phones, (I did a search but nothing was found), I was connected to Vodafone yesterday and there has never been a 3G Icon in the notification Bar (Network Signal has the 4 full bars)
When I am at home I use a Vodafone sure signal for 3G but it does not show in the notification bar either, (obviously I am connected to 3G when at home)
My network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA auto, so have I done something wrong or can some suggest how I can have this Icon showing.
I had the same issue - called up support and had them change my SIM card to the new one that came with the phone and since then I now get up to H depending if I'm in a decent area of Liverpool...

Thanks for the reply, this was a new sim card supplied with the phone I moved from T-Mobile to Vodafone so I could use the SureSignal to get rid of the crappy signal in the house.
Just solved the problem, if you switch off Wi-Fi then go into "settings/Mobile network connect to the internet it appears on the notification bar"
I thought you'd have it on already - glad you're sorted though!
I have only seen 'H' in my toolbar and none of the other notification (3G etc) mentioned in the manual there. Normal? Or do I just have a good connection?

The H means you have the HSDPA connection which is quicker than standard 3G. 3.5G if you will
ive also never seen a 3g icon, had the H and G one before
I use to get a 'H' on my kaiser
but on on my desire on Orange. I get a '3G+' symbol now. is this the same as 'H'?

Guys, remember that Android works differently from WIndows Mobile.
On WIndows mobile, you had the G, E, 3G or H all the time showing what signal you had. Android does not do that.
The 3G/H icon only appears when connected to the internet. the rest of the time it just shows signal bars.
And yeah, if wifi is on it will disconnect from the internet and that icon will disappear. cos after all, as long as you have signal when just using voice and text, it doesn't really matter whether it's 3G or not.
And Yes, 3G+ is the same as H. 3G+ is Orange's stupid marketing speak for HSDPA.
I have constant 'G' which changes to 3G/H when in areas that allow it...phone works fine so no issues since changing my SIM card
I am also experiencing this problem and to clarify it:
Sometimes (i think it has something to do with using camera) the animation stops working (the arrows stays shadow even if i am downloading) or the 3h/h icon disappears completely (but i am still connected to mobile data).
Disconnecting and reconnecting mobile data (e.g. swithing to wifi and back, rebooting phone or turning airplane on and off) solves this problem and the animated 3g/h icon (arrows are white when downloading and shadow when connection idle) is back.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem permanently?
I have had no such a bug on my Milestone
I know that H stands for HSDPA i have a little question, my phones status bar shows H and E, but it never shows up the 3G icon i dont know why i tried the sim cards of many operators but couldnt get it, i saw screenshots of our phones from differnt custom roms in where the 3g icon was visible in the status bar..........ANY help please
just go to settings, wireless & network, monile networks then check the use pocket data to enable it.. 3g.. or data connection..
Hello,
I've put an iconset of wifi signal. Is it possible to hide the wifi signal when its off ? Is there a variable for this ?
I've also put a letter "E" or "H" for the 3G connection and I also want to not show if the 3G is off.
Thanks
