Ugly 3G Icon with WM6

the 3G icon is so ugly, can some fix it with a nicer icon, I don't really mind the old U icon.
Thanks

I second this request.

i am third

this has alrady been done in a couple of roms.. do a search for "clean 3g icon" thier is a cab file that fixes this

Honestly, I am also wondering how could the manufacturing team design or make this ugly icon, they didn't "see" it before they launched?

Well I did (something with the batterylevel).
In my case I had a freeze on softreset after installing it with two different ROMS (but that could be a coincidence).
But I'd say: use it if you like, I won't stop anyone!

I've used it with Black 3.5, LVSW (05/19/07), Schap's 3.30c (for 3 weeks ), and now the Cingular official rom and my battery always shows 70-90% by the end of the day. You may have a conflict with a system file that got changed when you installing your 3rd party software.
Just something to think about

thank you it works great

Dont think so as the battery warning levels are set inside the dll! No 3rd party software would affect this because it would probably affect the 3G icon.
If you click on my link in the post below, you will see exactly why i am sure i am right and you are incorrect!

Does anyone know for sure?

Well yes, there is definite advantage.
But that does not mean new is always better. You need to find the one that works best for your network.

ok solved...
due to my lost APN settings, what i didnt notice!!

creates a fair bit of bother with t-mobile uk, brings back 3g freeze.

Haven't had a problem yet with it on trial with MoDaCo 2.3 but I'm using Edge. The WiFi signal seems to be stronger. Not sure if there is going to be more power used by this - still checking this to see if power use is higher.

Power consumption seems higher to me (lower battery runtime) but did not do a scientific test. Will go back to previous radio and compare.

It's not too bad - browsing experience is about the same as a Blackberry, but without the clunkiness. E-mail is more than fine and the widgets update well. Calendar keeps updated without a problem. Twitter, and facebook also work well. For most of these, the updates are in the background anyway - except for browsing and so the phone keeps me updated very well.

Don't know if related to this Radio or just a coincidence but flashed it yesterday evening, charged phone till light was green, installed couple of apps in wifi, this morning (7 ours later) 1 third of the battery was already gone.
Reverted to previous Radio version.
Ka.

I rolled back from MoDaCo 2.3 to 2.2 and the radio as well - it seemed like I got about 1.5 days out of the Hero. With the 2.2 and previous radio I got over 2 days.

New firmware I9000XWJG3

Here's a new Russian release thanks to 4pda.ru
This fixes the Swype/SMS problem.
My understanding is that this is a final release candidate, and that it has the mini-bug (for non-Russians ) that the Russian T9 is missing. But if anyone is in the mood for experimenting...
It is recommended you install it whole.
(As you can see, the modem and csc files are identical to the JG1 release)

nice will give it a try l8tr today
G1 was already better than stock or even the cooked one
hope this one is even better

Any changes except
"This fixes the Swype/SMS problem."?
Becouse I didn't have this problem anyway.

err good... feedback?

Also installed. No Laggy/STall Bugs anymore. at the moment. Testing more with many apps open.

No lag WITHOUT the modaco "fix" ?
This would be awesome =D

@Aweb it's to early to say hurraa.....at the moment all is smooth but I'm testing the next hours. At the moment no problems. But it's a fresh wipe new install. I run now a game in the background and make some calls. there i have allways laggy dial menu during the call.
//Edit and no modaco NAND copy fix-only default ODIN install with wipe after it.
//Edit2: It's defintily better and smoother.But when i stress the phone with 2 games in the background and make internet browsing.it makes a little bit lags. But on the desire (without froyo) it makes much more lags if i do the same.
//Edit3 After stressing with more applications-the lag comes again-not so much like other firmware, but it makes a little bit pause when oping more apps.But at the moment this is the best firmware for the SGS.

Did you install all 3 files?

Can you comment on the GPS quality. Did you have GPS issues before, and are they any better now? Needs GPS Test to see whats going on, running Google Nav doesn't tell you anything useful.

Thanks for the review, dahool2008
I hope they'll finally get this lag problem fixed in future firmware revisions, sounds annoying and it's one of the reasons I haven't bought one yet.

@TravUK I has the gps issue before when i ran with copilot or navigon. the problem is definitly gone.... tested 15minutes by car.
But The Lags are all again on the phone. The Problem was only gone after flashing. I think more&more that this is really a hardware problem with the chip.
//Edit
@Tyxerakias I installed only the code&modem file

What do you think is a hardware problem? Is this the GPS again?

no i think the bottleneck is the flash ram where /data/data is stored

Lag caused by a hardware problem? Is that even possible when it has some of the best hardware around? Do we know the specs of the flash memory?

No, he means the lag reported, which [email protected] has fixed by moving data from /data to /dbdata . It seems like it's a slower memory chip causing the slowness.

[Q] weak wifi with jt (v19)

hi,
since changing to jt (every version) i had no wifi problem. now i got a weak/very weak signal - even if the phone is next to the router or repeater.
what can i do to change or what infos do you need to help?
is there a difference between a region e.g. australia or germany (what i need)
regards

bump ^^

Which kernel you using buddy?
DESTROY THEM WITH LAZ0RZ

kernel

ril info

and thanks a lot for help

Didn't need the RIL but than anyway
Try using the KangBang Kernel, some people say it improves the performance and WiFi/mobile network signal. Other than that UK out of ideas (other than full wipe and reflash). I'll see if I can get someone like @Teichopsia or @Glevitan here maybe they can help
DESTROY THEM WITH LAZ0RZ

updated to the latest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
baseband version 12.39a.60.19u_26.06.06.30_m
KangBang 5.0 ended in reboot need to deinstall

Whick kernel did you flash? Performance or stable? I don't think the newer kernels by synergye are working with the newer roms by randomblame.
If you chose the performance kernel try with stable one which was working with for jellybean roms. If that doesn't work try kernel 0.2 stable. Keep in mind it may not work due to a few changes synergye made and randomblame needs to update his rom for it to work. I just woke up so I haven't read anything since last night.
On a second note, I haven't used his rom in a while so I don't know if it's rom related or if it's your phone. Make sure the battery cover is placed correctly. If it doesn't hapoen in another rom, well, then it's that rom giving you issues.
Thirdly, check in settings to see if
- go into wifi, hit menu, choose advanced
See if avoid poor connections is ticked. Uncheck it if so.

Just got the OTA 8.2.1.0 MAGMIDL update - should I install?

Not sure if this is a stable build. Should I go ahead and install?

Also got it offered here, Global 8.2.1.0.MAGMIDL on OTA. 706MB. It appeared just after opening the updater app.

I've installed and haven't noticed any major improvements. Fingerprint scanner seems to be working faster but may just be my imagination.

There is an UI imrovements where the text is now black for your 3rd party music player in notification cards. Also, I may be going crazy but my battery lasts longer...

Please check it installing Wakelock Detector [LITE] from Google Play Store and start it.
Then when it's time to charge the battery start it again, press the first of the three buttons on the top right corner and select "CPU Wakelock".
Tap on "Android System" and post a screenshot.

I've got it installed since Thursday. So far I would say the battery time is the same or slightly better. I do use the fingerprint scanner and I think it's slightly faster than before. Everything else, Bluetooth, Wifi and GPS so far working nice.
Only downside, the Security app had the cleaner function reactivated after the update. I'm pretty sure I had it disabled before. All other functions of the Security app seem to have kept their settings.

You are talking about 8.0.3.0?
That's because there was no problem with qfp-service on the previous version.
I think that's caused by a (bad) attempt to fix the fp reader after many complaints on the official forum.
