Hi,
On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.
G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
So my current toy is to fix this
Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks )
RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.
I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.
It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.
And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows
So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!
Install :
- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset
Uninstall:
- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example
- soft reset
- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM
- delete RSSI_Icon.dll
See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll
First pic:
Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.
Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!
Second Pic:
Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
Notice little 3G icon
Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)
---------------------------------
- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions
- Before installing uninstall previous version
I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.

Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!
Ok..work perfectly!
Installed... Nice tweak, congrats!
3g tweak
I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.

It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.
I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.
And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course

You can use Total Commander for file copying on Universal and it won't show access denied message
Sorted !!!

big g/u icon
Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??
If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.
Not working
Hello all,
Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.
In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.
Any ideas?
TIA

I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.
It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.
The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.
The question is why..
Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?

Yes, I understand.
It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.
Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?
If it's present, then something other is the problem.
Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.
I don't know
But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work
Hi,
I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.
I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.
I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.
For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.
Cheers,
Steve.

I noticed on mine, I don't have the small bubble notification on top like on AKU 2 ROMs, but it was replaced by a big bubble notification showing how much I was charged with an OK button. A temporary mail icon appeared for 5 seconds followed by a left soft key notification, which I setup from settings. I also have the flashing orange light setup with sounds. So I think we have a lot of options here to remind us that there is a message.
I forgot to mention, I am using PDAViet's ROM.
I'm definately missing some of the icons on the top bar - they have returned now I've uninstalled.
Cheers,
Steve.

I have a quick question regarding the various indicators on Cingular 8525.
(U, E, G, 3G)
When I had the Cingular 2.06 ROM on the device I was getting either a G, an E or a 3G.
With XDA Live I am now getting a large U with a small E (by the signal strength indicator) in spots where I used to get just a G.
I did see a 3G indicator at my office in Manhattan but also alternated with the U indicator.
Just trying to figure out what system I'm seeing now as indicated by the symbols in this ROM.
if you have the phcanoverbmp.dll from the cingular 3.3 rom then this will fix your issue... actually i just made a cab real quick... try this!

I'm having the same issue as well. My connection fluctuates just like that, on occasion. If I'm streaming something, my connection drops. It seems like a hand-off issue - but I'm really not sure.
Man, this is unbelievable. was just about to start this thread when I refreshed, and ta daa! here it allready is.
I did not have the cingular ROM, but the AKU 3.3 Test, and I did not have these issues on that ROM. I recently upgraded to Radio .134 though, could that have an effect?
What do you guys think this is? Is UMTMS available, but actual connection is edge? why would that be? Or is it just a spelling mistake in the reg somewhere?
My guess is the graphic for the indicator is being incorrectly seleced, the best test for which connection you are on is to do a speed test on bandwidthplace.com. Depending on what speed you actually get this will indicate the connection you are using.
EDIT:: According to wikipedia (yes i know....best i could find)
GPRS -> 30-40kbps
EDGE -> up to 236.8kbps
UMTS -> up to 384kbps
HSDPA -> (from my own experience) around the 1 to 1.5 mbps mark
(these might not be very accurate)
OK, so how will we be posting this problem in the XDA Live problems thread? as an incorrect graphic or something else?
Being in SAfrica with our slow GPRS coms, I'd say this is one of 2 things:
1. graphical error : U should be E, as it is actually an edge connection
2. something else, should be G, but for some reason shows U with E over signal bar ????
when i loaded the rom i was getting a U when i am actually on edge.. the phcanoverbmp.dll fixed this issue for me.. although this could have something to do with the ril.dll and rilgsm.dll ... out of curiosity which providers do you guys have?

I'm on Cingular in NJ.
where does the CAB file install the dll? Windows directory? I want to make sure it's where it should be.
yes, that is where it should be.. i made the cab automatically install it there... this should work on cing/att on any radio after 1.30... im not sure about anything pre 1.27...

I'm in NYC on Cingular and have the same issues. The cab didn't fix it for me either. I'm running Radio 1.35 (what ever was included w/ 2.06) and the XDA Live ROM.
You wouldn't have radio 1.35 unless you installed that individually, its a trinity radio that has gps enable. If the last radio you did was included in the Cingular 2.06 ROM then you have 1.33 or 1.34. Though in the end I don't think this has an effect.
I have 2 main areas that I connect in, one is work (3G service) and home (Edge) on Cingular in Orlando. I will test this once I get home since that is the only place I get the big "U" and little "E" when connected.
what i am stating is that through my own personal testing it seems as if the pre1.30 radio's reported differently on the cingular roms than the post 1.30 radios did... and this seems to be the difference on how the ril.dll and rilgsm.dll gets its information from the radio.. now the last time i spoke to kyphur he injected the rill.dll and rilgsm.dll from the cingular aku3.3 release into the WMXL, however im not sure if it was included with the latest release... if he did not include those in the release then the phcanoverbmp.dll might not function correctly..

Got ya... Well I will look for it in the .2 release or deal with it in until the final release. Either way the work that is coming off of this site is amazing.
I don't like the way the indicator has changed either. On WM5 AKU 3.3 I got the following:
G = GPRS (worst signal - slow)
U = UTMS (3G area - upto about 360 kbps)
H = HSPDA (best signal area - upto about 900 kbps)
Now I've upgraded to XDA-Live I only ever get a G or a 3G. There's no way to tell if I'm going to get UTMS or HSPA speeds without testing. Before I could move around to find HSPDA easily.
This is on T-mobile UK. (Note: no "E" here. We don't get EDGE.)

those shouldnt make a difference.. however i can go ahead and make a cab that includes all three.. I will give warning though... one of those might cause the phone to not boot back up, SO make a back up before installing this as you might have to do a hard reset......
***WARNING***
This cab may cause your phone not to reboot.. MAKE A BACKUP before installing. IF your phone does not reboot then you will need to do a hard reset..

Hi there,
as you can see in the screenshot. I am not sure if I am connected with 3G or not. Acctually it looks like I am not. I think the small G should be a smal 3G, correct?
I had this problem with different rom and radio versions since I installed windows mobile 6.
Berfore I had WM5 with no problem.
How can I be sure if it is GPRS or 3G?
Cheers,
Christoph
Yep - you are connected with 3G. The little "G" icon is a little misleading, it just means you are connected - the icon to the left will indicate what sort of connection you have.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi Steve,
I don't have the problem you described. Are you referring to the icon like a mail icon, appearing during an email or text message, as an example? If yes, then it still appears on mine.
I personally think too, that there are too many notifications already showing. For example, I get a text message, I get the email icon on the top bar, I get the bubble stating I have this # of text or email, and another notification on the left soft key. To me, having 3 notifications for one event is not good. First of all, it eats up memory. We all know, memory use is not one of the strong points in the Universal. Second, to negate all those notifications for one event, we choose which one to tap, and that is right, but who needs 3 notifications for one event in reality?
Sorry, for ranting on Microsoft...

Hi,
Just upgraded my rom, and for some reason, when i go the the orangeworld site in pie, it only displays a text version. No graphics or anything.
Any ideas?
all these fantastic genius's here, and no ideas?
I have noticed this too, and it must be something to do with what PIE reports itself as for User Agent.
The sites work fine with Opera, but cant see if that reports as Mozilla for whatever.
We need someone with WM5 to look....

I use PIE+ and tried all the user agents, but no change. Also noticed gprs/3g connection is real unstable! I'm in london, so definately a good coverage!
Erm....?
Any ideas?
What is the URL? Assume you have "show pictures" set etc ? I have black 3.1 on T mobile (well, virgin) and connection seems stable. This is on a m3100
Yeah I noticed this before too... I've only installed Black up to 3.0, so it the problem existed in at least version, maybe earlier.
http://wap.orange.co.uk for orange world. WEorks in opera fine. in PIE every other site i look at displays correctly, only orange so far is appearing as plain text.
As for the connection, i'm using the latest radio upgrade. to be honest, the connection was pants when i had the standard os installed, but then upgraded the radio, which improved it. But now i upgraded the os, the connection is worse than ever.
Also, Skype refuses to log in!
I'm pretty much ready to the sell piece of $h1t on ebay and get something else!!
So nobody able to help me?????

yeah I know, just grasping at straws. I seem to remember that some of the orange sites only worked via the orangewap apn. never use them so dunno really.
Hi, sorry am unable to help as I have same on orangeworld, but would just recommend that before you sell, you try reverting the radio version to 1.38.0.10 or .01.
Makes it a whole different phone, no dropped signals, better battery.

Yeah, no problems - orangeworld works fine in PIE for me WITH graphics (after I fixed it of course!!)
First I would recommend the latest Orange Radio ROM which is 1.38.00.01 - works best for Orange UK (this is not necessary for my fix to work though.)
See my cab file which installs the Orange UK MMS and internet settings as well as fixing the voicemail icon issue and the orangeworld graphics issue
If anyone needs it, I suppose I could create a cab file containing just the fix for orangeworld on PIE
Ok, here is the cab to just fix the Orangeworld site on Orange UK - it also fixes the voicemail icon since this is kinda essential
This should work on all WM6 ROMs on Orange UK
ps. you DO NOT need this file if you are using the cab file in the post above
Thanks alot Rabdo!!! I'll try the radio downgrade when i get home!!! Orange now works a treat!!!
Thanks!!
Just a quick question. What was the problem? It almost looked like it didn't pick up the css or something, but the strange thing was the fact every other site i looked at was fine. Would be nice to know exactly what was up with it.
rabdo! my wife can have your babies if you like!
radio fix and settings cab have sorted me right out!
keep getting the "H" symbol. did a quick test and was close to 500kbs! not sure how reliable that is, but just browsing now is a dream, and no connection dropped!
thanks a lot!

Hello everyone.
My first post here, although I have been an avid reader for a while now. I'd like to say thanks to vp3G and others for the excellent cooked ROMS.
My question: I just started using the new official WM6 ROM from AT&T. My fiance and myself both use AT&T 8525's, and I loaded the new ROM on both of our phones. Now, we can be sitting right next to one other on our couch, and her phone will read as having full bars with the 3G icon to the left of them. Then I'll look at my phone and I have full bars with the E icon next to them.
Would anybody here have any idea as to why? Identical phones, with identical ROMs and identical radio versions, yet she gets 3G while I only seem to get Edge, with the phones sitting side-by-side on the coffee table.
I'm confused on this one ...any ideas? Thanks a bunch in advance for any help and for the great site!

Yes, they are the same. We bought the phones a few months back and both shipped with one of the new AT&T SIM cards with the 3G logo on it. I used to get sporadic 3G at home with the older radio versions, but she has always had rock solid 3G on hers. It's weird, I know.

I'm feeling kind of silly right now...I'm not sure what you're referring to. I open up the com manager in the lower right of the today screen, and then the left soft key becomes a "settings" tab. Opening that just takes me to the phone setting menu (Phone, Services, Network, etc...).
I haven't made any changes to the ROM, just using what it had available.

Ok. Go to Start-Settings-Phone
See if there is a tab on the bottom that says Band...
If you do then make sure that it says Auto on both.
If not then check out the hermes wiki and go to tweaking the hermes registry...
If your are using the 'official' att rom, and if it's anything like the old roms, then the band tab will not be there...
