You need to replace your shellres.96.dll file...attached is the one from my rom--but be forewarned it'll replace your busy icon with a black style one as well. Copy one from someone else's rom if this isn't to your liking...

Maybe I'm not thinking straight, but what "busy icon" are you referring to?
Also, my icon hasn't said "3G" since the AT&T factory ROM. Ever since I've switched to Dutty's ROMs, it's said "H." What's the diff, if any?

3G = 3G
H = HSDPA
Could someone send a screenshot?

BIG difference. The "H" stands for HSDPA or High Speed Downlink Packet access. It is one of the 3G protocols but much faster than typical Edge networks (another 3G protocol).
Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but Edge networks have a peak of 1Mb/sec with a more realistic 400kb-700kb throughput. HSDPA networks operate (at least here in northern california) at 7.2 Mb/sec. I believe I read somewhere that in Japan the HSDPA networks run at 14.4 Mb.
The Kaiser/TIlt is HSDPA capable, but AT&T has it disabled in the registry. The registry tweak to enable it has been done in your build. You can also achieve this by running Kaiser Tweak.
The other difference is that seeing the "H" pop up on my phone always makes me smile

The reason you H now and not on the stock ATT ROM is because by default ATT had the ability to jump to HSDPA speed turned off, you could only get 3g. With a simply registry hack, HSDPA is turned on and you get faster speeds (if HSDPA is available in your area). All the cooked ROMs have the reg hack already done.

hi quenti thank you for your response. i downloaded the icon u attached, extracted them and pasted them in the windows folder, but nothing changes? what did i do wrong? the icon shown still the old ones

First copy file to your MOB then copy it to windows
Then it will work... due the win-mob copy protection.

Here you go. Simple cab install. I've been using this faithfully since PK & Bennec released it.

thank you fb401, thanks guys. problem solved

I replaced the file but now i don't see any icons and when ik start file resco's file explorer all the folder icons changed into help icons
Now can i somehow change this back without having to hard reset??

Could someone please share the original shellres.96.dll with me. So i can replace it with the one that messed up my icons (Yes I was dumb enough to not do backup ). I would be so greathfull

Anyone post the screen shot of this nice 3G icon. I never saw it before. Thanks.

Don"tneed it anymore

Working great here over Orange Branded Kaiser!

A few things about the Kaiser...

Hi,
I've got a little problem with the ROMS on xda for my Kaiser. I tried 7 different Roms by now and I can't find a solution for the 3G problem. Also the camera had the ability to film in AVI mode.
My original Rom was the Rom from T-Mobile. There where I had the 3G connection and the AVI ability.
Is there something I oversee or is there no solution?!
Thanks...
P.S. For the people how recognizing my name; Yes the old one was Noxious Inc. but somehow it don't have permissions to do anything on the forum... (admins didn't reply on messages...)

All 7 are not capable of getting a connection to 3G... Where I live, is a fully 3G support.
Weird thing is also that the speed on G simalar is to 3G... even youtube is possible to watch...
The camera issue is not a main issue... it only had my attention, because it was so shocky and stuff...

How are you determining your connection type? If you're getting 3G speeds, then it's likely you are in fact connected via 3G but simply getting a wrong status indicator.

I didn't do a speedtest, it's only a feeling about the speed... when I try to reach nu.nl a dutch news site, then it's as I know and see the same speed... On HSDPA it's 3 times faster...

I have used both L26 V9 and Dutty's Diamond V1 and I can confirm that Edge, 3G and HSDPA all work without problems.
The camera is recording video in 3gp or mp4 formats.
Make sure you use the SPL and Radio recommended by the chef, hard reset after ROM install, and maybe also check your 3G subscription.
Regards.

hard reset is done at first bootup when u reach the green wm screen... don't think that is going to help with ur issues though.

Nope, didn't work...
It must be possible to get the darn thing to 3G...

Did you go into kaisertweaks and enable HSDPA? It's disabled by default on every rom i've used so far?

Yep, it's enabled...
There is something other different... when I go to my Phone setting and use the "network settings" it says T-Mobile and T-Mobile (GSM) when I choose T-Mobile instead of T-Mobile (GSM) nothing changes...

If you go to start/settings/phone/band, what does it say?
If both say auto and you have 3g where you live then you should have 3g.

Speedtest Internet

At a dutch news website there was an article about internet providers saying they give you much speed but after checkin they doesn't. I found this website: http://www.speedtest.net/ Offcourse they have an iPhone app, but as many know not a WM version (damn I hate that). Does anybody a kind off app like that?

Just use your phone as a modem, then test the speed from your PC.

http://www.speedtest.nl
Goto http://www.speedtest.nl
Works for me with Opera.
Edit:
Although it seems to work the download speeds are enorm!
When is test is with my PC i get a average of 900 KBytes/sec (approx. 7000kbps).
But with my phone over WIFI the average is 12700 KBytes/sec (approx. 101000kbps) !!!
That is of course to good to be tru.
Maybe it works over GPRS and/or 3G (i don't use them).

If you want test your mobile speed, look my signature.

Your's was a pointless statement. You didn't even ask a question. Are you having problems making calls, or getting data, or does it just bother you that only 1 bar is showing? How do other phones behave in the same location? Did it work with the factory firmware?
The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Then don't do that!"

You need to give a lot more info than "1.6 something" for anyone to help. Just FYI, every radio on the Thunderbolt right now is "1.6 something." Also, you have one bar, but has it been better on the other radio? Does it drop in and out? Do you have data, or only affecting voice calls? What is your actual signal reading (in dbm)? Did you flash anything recently?
Kinda weird that you would give no info and get upset when no info is given back.

My radio is 1.1600_W1
The other radios are
1.12
And the leaked is 1.13
I flashed adrynalnye kernal test A.zip
Got 6-5 bars now.

My mistake. Glad you got it working. For reference, do you remember what kernel you were on when you had signal issues?
Sent from my Thunderbolt

I'm not sure which kernel it was sorry.

cannot go more than 700kbps Download..!!

yeah and everything is good

Might not be your issue buy for me the speedtest app never seems to accurately reflect my actual speeds, particularly on the dl side. Even when connected to WiFi using cable or dsl, speedtest will show slow speeds whereas opening the browser and testing with the speakeasy speedtest I get exactly what I should be. I have tried changing the server but that doesn't seem to help in my case.
It is not limited to just my inspire either as the same issue shows up on my thunderbolt and sensation.
tl;dr speedtest app sucks
