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

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
so i enabled wifi, but how do i know i'm really using wifi and not 3g if i see a small E on top of the bars? it seems as if I can not turn off my data connection if i have wifi on..is that correct?

as you may know the "E" is 2g not 3g. When it is 3g it will say "3g" or "H", "H" being faster than "3g".
your wifi goes into "sleep" mode when not being used, helps on battery life, when your phone demands a connection it will take the wifi out of sleep if try to connect and if it does you will see the wifi icon, and if you are not an area that has wifi it will revert back to your data connection.

that's very odd because i have never seen the H ever since i flashed the rom, but the 3g setting is set to be 'on', but that setting disappeared and i dont knkow how to get back to it. is there a way to turn on 3g?

Not always.
AT&T purposely does not show the H and always shows 3G even if it is a HSDPA connection.
since i flashed w/ a new rom, there's no more 3g icon, but i did figure out how to bring the H back, but for some reason i have no idea why my wifi isn't working. someone told me to disable proxy, but i did that

that is true on a stock ATT ROM, but if you flashed a custom ROM it will display correctly

have you tried going to settings>wifi> click "turn on Wi-FI" select wireless networks and see if you phone detects any networks? If there is a network available then select it and set it up.
did you hard reset after you flashed?
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
Hello all,
I just want a little info about the network signal that displays in the notification bar. My phone mobile network setting is on GSM/WCDMA auto. Normally in phone info it says that the network type is on HSDPA. Today i noticed that i lost all signal bars and the network type says UMTS.
Does the lost of all signal bars mean that i have no more 3G and have reverted to the next lowest network mode but can still receive/make a call (i didn't test it) or simply does the signal graph scale with the current network mode or is it global?
Signal strength was at -101 dbm, i change network mode to GSM only, i got all my signal bars and strength was at -79 dbm
Thanks
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..
