Edge Question

[Rothstein]

How can I know if I am using EDGE at my Qtek s200 or not? I see G sign at the top and not E. Is there a way to see if I am in the EDGE area or not? Like normal mobile phones has E letter when the phone is in EDGE coverage.

BTW,


EDGE [E] icon instead of GPRS [G]
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon" value="1"
(Original Value = 0)

I tried the registry hack above but although I change the value to 1, after I soft reset I see it is back to 0. Why I cant change it? Any thoughts?

If I understand correctly changing it to E will always show E and not switch to G when on GPRS

Anyone else have more info?

[Rothstein]

So it is not possible to see whether i am in EDGE or in GPRS?

I asked this question in Howard Forums I was told the indicatior does not change dynamically depending on the network (Edge/GPRS) but will always show E no matter which one you are connected to. Based on this I did not change the reg

My Jamin has that registry key set by default, and my device does show a G or an E, depending on what it's detected.

I've seen it change from G to E and back again quite frequently, so it (registry key) does not force it to stay on E.

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try.

Guess the info I had gotten earlier was incorrect

Same here - I'm sitting at home with a 'G' right now - and I generally get an 'E' in the office.

I am making speed test to understand whether i am in edge or not :D For instance at home i get around 40-45k while 300mt away from home i can get 120k. But all the time i get G at the today screen. :?

I am using this hack for about 2 weeks in my wizard and fortunately it shows E or G depending the presence of Edge

Hmm.. Why I cant change the value to ''1'' then? :twisted:

The G or E does change on the latest i-mate rom. You could also go and run a speed test.

go www.dslreports.com/mspeed/ and select 100k, 200k or 600k

if your reaching over 50, you are probably on edge

Edge is not great in suburbs of cleveland, but i get 85 to 135 kbit/sec....
I seem to get lower speeds on the smaller files..

I get about 130 for the 200k file in about 14 seconds on my jamin with edge and about 37 to 45 on 200k file in about 44 seconds on my jasjar with gprs (I really wish the jasjar had edge) it has utms, but usa does not have utms 2100 band..
