3G/Edge symbol display problem

After scouring the Wiki for the better part of 2 hours and multiple searches I am forced to actually ask a question.
Up untill a hard reset to restore lost MMS settings this morning, I did not have this problem and yesterday I upgraded to the 1.38.00.11 radio and did not have this issue then either.
After the hard reset, here is my issue.
Before I had a large 3G icon and a small 3G icon over the signal strength, now I get a small 3G with two arrows while connected and nothing over the signal strength.
Here is a picture that shows what I see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Top shows what I did have (replace the U with 3G) and the bottom is an example of what I see now with two arrows while connected.
Anyone know how to revert back?
Thanks

hmm try this cab file it put a 3g icon where your U is then mine switches above the two arrows depending on the network. i don't know why it switched like that though.

Let me clarify, the picture represents what I see but with a 3G (bottom).
I used to see what's on top with a 3G instead of a U.

I would be shocked if this problem is unique to my device....
I think I am going to load hard SPL and downgrade the radio and see where that gets me.
Update, flashed 1.10 Oli and reverted back to 1.27.00.00 radio and I still have this issue. I am thinking maybe the hard reset performed to restore lost MMS settings caused this.

After reading a bunch of the display problem threads in the WM6 forum, I decided to hardreset again.
Still doing it - I give up.

As a last resort try using the Cingular carrier settings at www.htcclub.net
I know it doesn't set my data or medianet connections but anytime I have gotten the wrong signal icons it has worked. Which btw is pretty random for me depending on what rom I'm using.

Well if I just hard reset and let the extrom reload, wouldn't this be the same?

The cingular settings cab didn't fix it. This is really annoying as there seems to be zero explanation on this.

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.

Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] SwitchPro Widget causes data connection loss

so I have a rooted vibrant and ever since I started using SwitchPro, I've had connectivity issues with my data.
At first, I didn't even use the data toggle on the widget and I was still getting 3G dropped. I tried to add the button to my widget to control it that way and it worked fine. 15 minutes later though, the icon is no longer highlighted as shown in the pic below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so what I have to do now just to get data to work is to toggle it on and off just to get it to reappear.
in the SwitchPro options there's a box to check for "Data connection" It says "Use APN toggle - if the data connection toggle doesn't work, you can try this"
^ I've tried checking this box but my data connection still doesn't work
- I've tried uninstalling it and everything goes back to normal.
- I'd like to get this working though since the app is pretty useful.
just curious to see if any other vibrant users are having this issue and have found a fix for it. I've read on the forum that some SwitchPro users have experienced this as well

see?! data connection on.. no data on top bar

SwitchPro displayed my connection properly but would not function when I tried to use it to toggle my data connection. If I used the widget to turn off the data connection, I could not get it back again unless I rebooted. I also tried the APN setting, and it didn't help me either.
Maybe e-mail the dev?

I have been using Switch Pro for 2 weeks and this has not happened to me. Maybe it's because I do not and have not used the "Data Switch".

yeah Keslynn, i'll probably try emailing them about it.
jrwin, I've tried uninstalling and using my phone w/o switchpro for a while but as soon as I reinstall the widget I have issues again.
I would definitely like to use the app w/o having the data connection icon there but we'll see what happens

No "Never" Option?

After stupidly posting a question in the Win7 forum about disabiling the screen lock while the phone is plugged in and playing music, I was directed to an option under the 5 minutes that says "Never". However, this option does not show up on my phone...any idea why?

I think it got removed with Nodo. Becos prior to Nodo my DVP had it and after nodo,its gone.

I see, is there a workaround? As you may know, we cant edit the registry on the DVP.

I am guessing that it has to do with AMOLED screen and its issue with screen burn-in.
All of HTC's and LG's (all of which uses LCD) have the "never" option, but none of Samsung's (which has AMOLED) have that option.

Odd. The "never" option is still there for me.

Apparently yours is either different or pre-nodo which is highly doubtful because everybody has nodo.

Are you talking about the Screen time-out setting? I still have the Never option and I have NoDo w/ firmware 105.

Yep, I'm all NoDo'd up plus the security update.
And, we all are talking about screen time out settings, yeah?

yes we are talking about screen time out settings. Here is a pic to help clear things up:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Little blurry but the meaning is there.

Just checking. Seemed to be some slight confusion brewing. But, yes... the "never" option is still available for me. I also have one of the DVPs which is experiencing fewer issues than many have reported.
Related? Ask Mr. Owl.

The Never option is only available when you have the password turned off. When you turn the password feature on, the Never option disappears and you are reset to the default 5 minutes.

well this is extremely confusing. I went to settings to check out the theory to see if its true and my phone locked up - first time ever. I havent done anything with it all day, no calls or texts have come in...
I will further investigate this.

restarting the device solved the problems.
I still see no never option, even when the password is turned off.

[Q] How to test if Wifi hardware works

I bought a HTC INC2 from a guy last week. It is unlocked so it works perfectly with my ATT sim and I managed to get 2G running. Then I checked the GPS, Camera and so on, everything looks fine until I wen back to home. Because there is no Wifi network in my work place so I didn't find the wifi seems not working. The phone cannot found any wireless network at all. I am sure I made the ssid is broadcasting. I was thought it probably not happy with my wireless router so I closed all security setting. But the phone still cannot find the open network. So I drove to our library where have public wireless access, still nothing. On my way back, I use my other phone as a hotspot, nothing happened even I put two phone together.
Here is a list of things I did in next couple days, went to a office building which hosted a lot of company. Almost all of these company have some sort of wireless network, my other phone in my right hand can found at least 10 networks while the INC2 which in my left hand can find none. I flashed the ROM to CM7, nothing. update radio, nothing.
Flashed to skyrider, nothing. update radio, nothing...
The guy who sold me the phone said the wifi is working perfectly when he is using it with verizon. He updated to iPhone month before so he didn't notice if the phone stop work with wifi after his update. He seems to me a honest guy.....
Now I want to test if the wifi hardware works. I really want to learn something from this frustrating thing. any idea?
TIA

Probably the wifi is not working. I do not own a HTC INC2 but can flash another radio/modem/wifi driver?
Also there is a hidden menu called Field Test Mode. It may have something about wifi. From wikipedia:
There is a hidden "testing" menu on the device that can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* aka *#*#info#*#* on the phone's keypad. It will bring up 5 categories: Phone Information, Battery Information, Battery History, Usage Statistics, and WiFi information.
Other hidden menus from dial pad: (1) ##debug+call, (2) ##program+call enter six zeros example: 000000, (3) *#*#7262626#*#* - Field test menu, (4) *#*#2432546#*#* aka *#*#checkin#*#* - checks for updates, (5) ##778 (+call for Epst menu), (6) *#*#8255#*#* - Gtalk service, (7) *#*#8351#*#* - voice dialer logging enable, (8) *#*#8350#*#* - voice dialer logging disable

You could try a wifi teathering app check if it transmitting.

Re
check the wifi setting properly if this is not working then i think you should let some phone professional check it

It would seem that the OP resolved their wifi issue months ago.
