Hi,
tried out the GPRS/EDGE Tweak showing "E" instead of "G" if you are on a cell supporting EDGE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\
DWord EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon set to 1
This tweak also worked on my Qtek 8300 smartphone though it was listed here for an other type of device.
Unfortunately it does not work :-((
Also no effect if you try to create a DWord EnableDifferUmtsHsdpaIcon and set it to 1 hoping it would work for HSDPA :-((
Is there anybody who can find out (whether by leeking knowledge from insiders or reverse engineering) if such tweaks are existing for the HTC TyTN (Hermes) platform ?
Hey it would be great ... Any update ?
Otherwise, how can I know which connection I'm using between GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA ? Any 3rd party application ?

I read in the wiki for WM5_Tweaks_Other that it is possible to tweak the registry to enable "E" icon when in EDGE networks. It goes something like this:
If your network provider supports the Edge network (and your device does as well), you can use the following to show a little 'E' icon instead of 'G' icon when connected to an Edge network:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
I tried this on the Treo 750. EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon did not exist under RIL, so I added it and set the value and it did not work.
Wondering if anyone figured out how to enable the "E" icon?
Doesn't work on my HTC TyTN too. Registry entry wasn't there so probably we are missing something else too, not just that single reg key.
Hmmm
Hi,
I thing that it is relatred with the phone subsystem and each one is different. Palm has one version TyTN has another version.
It is just a guess.

I have I-Mate SP5 Smartphone and HTC TyTN PPC Phone - both are Windows Mobile 5 and registry looks very alike, both have this entry: "dll=ril.dll" or something like that in the same place where is the mentioned "Edge" registry entry, but one device has a lot more reg entries there then the other, so it's probably down to radio version/implementation.
Today I was switching band in UMTS/EDGE area. Each time I was switching band phone was logging out the network then logging in again. When I was going from UMTS to GSM I noticed [E] icon appearing for about 0,2 second (it was when I was logged to UMTS network) and then turning to [G]. I'm sure I was in EDGE area (I was in the ceter of Krakow, one of the biggest cities in Poland).
Conclusion is that Treo DOES HAVE Edge icon, but we need to find the way to use it... Any ideas?
I also looked in registry like schriss said. There is entry about dll file. I have set rilgsm.dll. But in the \Windows directory there's also ril.dll. Maybe something is with those files?
Does the Treo allow you to lock it in EDGE/GSM mode?

You say not UMTS or automatic?
If is it, you may found this in phone settings, 2nd tab, band selection.

Thanks. Just got my Treo today! Keeping it at Edge. Seems faster than all my other Edge phones.
I just upgraded to WM6. The icon now shows H when I'm in HSDPA. I've also seen it switch to 3G from time to time. (I'm assuming that's either Edge or UMTS) I'll have to see if it goes to E when I travel far enough away from the city where HDSPA isnt available yet

I know that E icon is in WM6, but I'd like to activate it somehow in WM5 (I'm not upgrading now...)
Just installed ranjus rom with radio 1.18. Few questions...
1)it still comes up with the o2 splash screen when I turn on, and it asked me all the o2 question(it is originally an o2 xda exec). I wouldve thought installing a totally new rom wouldve wiped all this??
2) im now using my orange sim in it, but it won't connect to a 3G singal(it didn't do this before I put ranjus rom on it either)
O2 Extended Rom Customisations Are Probably Not Compatible With WM6.1
You Need To Flash The Extended Rom To Remove All The O2 Customisations.
Go Into Your Phone Options And Set The Band To Auto To Enable 3G/GPRS And Not Just GPRS. (GSM = GPRS & UMTS = 3G)
Download The HTC Network Settings Tool And It Will Configure Your Device With The Settings Required For Your Selected Network.
Hope That Solves Your Problems.

I tried to change the band from gsm to auto but it just goes back to gsm and greys all the boxes out! do I need to use that prog you gave the link to?
edit:think I got it to change the band to auto, still not on a 3g network but maybe I am outta range.
the device kept turning off like it was outta battery, but it said there was like 30% left, now im on mains power its workin ine.
can I flash th extended rom witout looisng all the settings and progs I've just loaded on?
I Believe So...
I Think You Can Just Make Sure Theirs No "radio_.nbf" (Radio Rom) Or "nk.nbf" (CE OS Rom) In The Flash Utility Folder.
Then Run The Flash Utility And Dont Perform A Hard Reset After Flashing.
It Should Then Only Update The Extended Rom. The Problem Is If You Have Already Let The Device Autoconfigure,
Alot Of The Crap From The Manufacturers Standard Rom Will Still Be Installed On Your Device.
The Best Way To Remove Would Be A Hard Reset But That Means Having To Reconfigure And Reinstall Etc.
Oh And To Answer Your Previous Question About The O2 Logo, Ranju's Rom Doesnt Flash That Area Of The Device Thus Leaving The O2 Logo Intact.
Their Are Ways To Customise This Logo If You Like.

I will have a tinker later on when im at home in front of my computer. Any idea why I can't get 3G reception? its enabled in the control panel.
So does anyone have any idea why I cant get 3G network reception? Im on radio 1.15 now.
For those of you who can get 3G reception...When you go to Settings>Phone>Network>(Network Selection) Manual...Does it show the regular networks (i.e 'Orange', 'O2 - UK' etc) AND the 3G network (i.e 'Orange 3G', 'O2 - UK 3G' etc)?
Sim Card Possibly.
No The Networks Are All Called The Same Its Just The Radio Bands Used To Connect Data Services That Differ.
Maybe Your SimCard Isnt A 3G Sim Or It Isnt 3G Enabled?
If The Sim Is Not A 3G Sim It Would Only Use GSM I Believe.

it is definstely a 3g card as it works in my other phone! does everyone get 3g reception on orange using a g3 o2xda with ranju rom and radio 1.15?
Isn't there ANYONE on orange in here??? I have had a look around and I think most of the Orange network runs on a 900MHz UMTS freqency. And it looks like the Uni only supports 1900MHz
UMTS on Ranju 7.7
I am on Orange, using Ranju 7.7 and radio 1.18. I had the same problem as you with the default Phone parameters, but I was able to change the band setting to "Auto" in the phone options. Thus GSM Band became "EGSM+DCS1800" and UMTS Band "UMTS 2100". And after a while the 3G icon appeared !
Universal bad for 3G
i can only say that universal has very bad 3g(UMTS connection) because when most other phones show 4 bars for 3g..my o2 exec only give 1 bar..but it is OK for 2g or GPRS...anyone agree??
Well I just flashed my voda v1640 with ranju v77 Rom, and shows good UMTS performance with italian "TIM" network, both for signal strength and for internet browsing.
the Radio is 1.14.10 (it should be the original one...)
Hi!
I get 3G+ on my display when I have HSDPA connection .. any way to change this to the default H ?
good question i have a moto q 9h and the standard reg edit doesnt work
I thought it only changes to H when it's transferring data? So if it's sitting idle it shows 3G. That's how my Tytn II operated at least.
ya thats how its suppose to work butfor some reason smartphone os dosent show the hsdpa h icon when the file is in transfer
Is there a registry entry to be edited in order to toggle 3G in Mobile 6.1 that anyone knows about? Wife has a Pantech Duo that refuses to work well in 3G areas. I've read all the problems that this phone tends to have in 3G. Thanks.
See the cab below. Got this from Modaco. The application interrogates the registry to list the connections, then toggles the 'enabled' value on the connection between 1 and 0.
If it is set to 0, the device does not try to connect it. You can switch back when in a 3G area.
Dear all:
I have a Motorola Q9H and I just upgraded it to WM6.1 from AT&T. I found a problem which I also found in my imate smartflip WM6.1
Earlier in WM6.0, you used to be able to select Auto for GSM 800/900 for network channels while in WM6.1, this option has disappeared.
Why this is important for me? because I used to force my mobile NOT to connect to 3G since my blackberry software would drain the battery if running on 3G. Running blackberry software on GPRS is quite enough and will conserve the battery for a decent time.
So talking about Windows Standard edition or Smartphone: how can I push the network to be GSM 800 and NOT Auto? in other words, how do I disable the 3G network channel?
thank you
samery
Found the resolution, many thanks to Motorola support team:
1. Go to Home Screen
2. Type *#1546792*# and then send
3. You will see new screen that indicates that Band Selection was enabled
4. Now you can go to Settings/Phone/Network/Band Selection
