What are E and G signs appear on the top of screen near the antenna indicator in htc hd2?
according to farres and the forum below:

3G = Third generation of data connection (within area coverage)
H = HSDPA = High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (using 3G connection)
E = EDGE = Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (2G area coverage, no data connection is performed until you see the connection icon)
G = GPRS = General Packet Radio Service (normal and basic area coverage)

It looks like my TC is using HSDPA network (about 100k/hour) even during the time I am connected via wifi. Is that a normal behaviour, or can I force it to automatically disconnect HSDPA while using wifi?
It depends on how you setup your routing.
If you have your wifi network set as your "work / business" network and hsdpa as your internet access. It'll ofcourse route all trafic over hsdpa.
Check your wifi connection and set the appropriate network type. This setting is done for every access point. It's not a global wifi setting afaik.
The wifi connection is setup as internet, so that is not the problem.
What I find is that both wifi and 3g are active. I can turn off 3g by turning off data connection in the comm manager, leaving me with the sole wifi connection (and internet access of course). However, as soon as the TC goes to sleep it will come back with both 3g and wifi. What I found also is that it is quicker to initialise the HSDPA connection than to wifi one.
Is there a way to force it to check it for wifi connection first, and then only connect to HSDPA if no wifi is available?
Sorry, that I don't know.
And I can't be bothered by it here in NL. As we've got flatrate utms/hsdpa here with a number of providers.
At home I only turn on Wifi if the umts/hsdpa connection is instable.
I have quite weak network signal in my office and I've noticed that signal strength is lower when my Acer E101 finds EDGE service available, while it is higher with GPRS (at least, when taskbar icon E turns to G, signal rises) at the same place. So I was wondering whether it is possible to make phone "see" only GPRS service somehow?
What are your WiFi transfer speeds from LAN? (ie: transfer from pc network folder)
Mine is EXTREMELY SLOW, even slower than Cellular Data speeds.
Download: avg 900kB/s (Bytes/sec NOT BiTS)
avg 7200kb/s (bits/sec)
The router is Linksys E3200 (5GHz band, DFS Auto Select)
Strong Signal according to WiFi bars.
Hi. How to change this icon or where there are settings to change this ?
It shows a quality signal but no range (2G, 3G)
I have an RV that allows me to control everything their their app as long as I am connected to the RV's local WIFI network (which doesn't provide internet).
It is obviously a terrible design as I cannot access the internet if I want to stay connected to it.
I know that about the "Switch to mobile data" option, but this doesn't work as this disconnects me from that WIFI connection. So that means I actually have to put the connection as a "Network exception" if I want it to stay connected.
Is there any work around to stay connected to a WIFI connection, but use mobile data when on that connection?

Always thought
a carrier's cellular network ( a radio network distributed over land ) is used when sending / receiving mobile data,
an internet service provider's network ( accessable via router / access point ) is used when sending / receiving data to / from internet.
All Android apps have a default network. The system decides which should be the default network.
It depends on app's configuration what connections - if available - are to be used - even simultaneously.
