Missing Connection Icon in the top bar

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 both H and 3G icons. is this normal?

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.

3G Icon On Notification Bar

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

Not in Airtel Too... i only saw H and E...

Yeah me too. Usually using the less famous telco, I only see H instead of 3G. But when I use the more popular ones, I can see the 3G.

3g
my phone show 3G icon in BSNL network ........but whn i use vodafone/aircel its show H

just a wild guess, you can disable H in your status bar in setting/wireless and networks. But H is really better than 3G but worse if you are using prepaid cause it really eats up your load a lot.

is ur phone is displaying H(HSDPA), then u r gud. H is far better than 3g. you need 3G for HDSPA. hope u got it

In my Airtel it shows 3g smtyms H Smtyms E it depends on network just check out if u have activated 3g on ur sim

does anyone knows why does 3g signal sometimes not showing up even though i enabled the data.

[Q] How I Put The 3G Icon If I Dont Have Data Connection ?

Does exist a hack or something ? I live in Dominican Republic and here doesnt have Data Connection for the CDMA Smartphones only Phone+Message...
I want the 3G icon on my status bar but i have 1x connection.. No 4G , no 1X ...
Help Me Please

You'd need to swap the pngs for the 1x icons with 3G icons in your systemui.apk.

Or use a stock rom. On the stock Evo roms the 3g is "stuck" and as long as you have any kind of data connection you'll get 3g showing. Since you're getting 1x your qualify. Plainjane's solution is more appropriate if you want to stay on a custom rom.
