I just came back to TW after a lengthy stint with CM and I can't seem to find the mod for changing the 4G icon to reflect the actual network connection (3g, H+, etc). Does anyone have a link to this?
Thanks!

I searched around and only found this one thread addressing this.

The instructions didn't help me, as I don't have the same ROM as the poster.
I know that I am under 3G here in Columbia, SC, so I am not concerned about coverage. I am running Josh's Perfect Black 1.7 ROM. Can anyone shed some light on how to change the icon back to 3G from it's present H?
From what i understand "H" is the same as "3G". also here is a link to a post where they dicuss it a bit more if you want read some more.

I am with AT&T. My request is simply one of preference. I just want it to say 3G.
Thanks for the informative link, however, I'm not overly concerned with speed.
Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4701722&postcount=1
It shows the default settings for the two registry entries that control the "3G" or "H" icon in the taskbar. The default settings should give you the 3G icon. Make the registry changes then soft reset the phone.
Is there a way to get a rooted stock sense (deodex) ROM to display the correct data connection and not always display "3G" even if you are in a 1xRTT area? I am also themed with this theme (if it matters)...

(or maybe there is a theme that gives the 'stock' look that will display correct icons?)
I've read many postings on many forums (even Sprint's and HTC's) about this issue, but no answers were ever posted if it would be fixed.
If I remember correctly, the manual states that when the 3G icon is lit up you are connected to 3G, when it is greyed out you are connected at 1xRTT.
Hello - does anyone know of a mod that changes the taskbar icon to show when you're in a 1x signal area? Someone did provide a link to a widget to do this, but I'm wondering if there is an option that replaces the static 3g signal icon with one that changes between 1x and 3g? I tried searching this thread and the theme section but 1x is too short for XDA's search. Running Myn's ROM. Thanks much...

Unless I'm missing something, the notification bar will show 3G when you're IN 3G and 1x if you're IN 1x....
The icons themselves are in framework-res.apk if you wish to change them but as far as them changing, they do so automatically...

I'm sort of in the same boat. There's probably like 2% of people here that want a 1x/3g mod so I don't think the support will go to it.
It "suppose" to switch from 3g to 1x if you are in a 1x area but i't doesn't do it for me. but if you only want to know when you are connected to 1x than you can download this app for free on market called Cellumap. It will show a bunch of crap about the network you're on but it also shows 1xrrt or Evdo_a/o(3g). But I don't think there's a app out that changes your network icon to 1x when connected

For whatever reason, HTC or Sprint decided to mask 1x service with the 3g icon. I've driven through the same service areas with CM6 and a Sense ROM (Myn 2.2) and when service drops to 1x, CM6 shows the change. However, the Sense ROMs mask the change making you think you are always on 3g. Here is a post that discusses it in detail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803307&page=3
It's really annoying when you are using data and it drops from 3g to 1x but the phone doesn't show the change. Any suggestions?
Probably Sprint's way of making you think they have more 3G than they actually do?

Probably, tmobile does the same with their H icon for 3g and HSPA+
Maybe Mobile Signal Widget would report a 1X data rate on a sense ROM? Not the ideal solution, I know.

Thanks... just installed it but it sucks that it takes up valuable screen space with a widget. I guess it's better than nothing.
I appreciate all the insight, and interesting that Tmob does something similar. Maybe a dev would be interested in taking this on?
Hi, I flashed a friends HTC HeroC with Zero Hero.
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18094784 )
(I could not find any screen shots, but the thread has a video in it.)
The ROM displays both a 3G and a 1x Signal strength bars, at the same time, in the notification bar.
Is there a way to port something like that over to the Evo4g?
Thanks.
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.
