WM5 AKU3 / WM6 little 3G icon

[szilamer]

Hi,

On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.
G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
So my current toy is to fix this :)
Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks :) )
RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.
I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.
It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.
And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows :)
So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!


Install :

- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset

Uninstall:

- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example
- soft reset
- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM
- delete RSSI_Icon.dll



See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll
First pic:
Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.
Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!
Second Pic:
Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
Notice little 3G icon :)



Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)
---------------------------------
- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions
- Before installing uninstall previous version
I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.

Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!

I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.

It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.
I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.
And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course :)

Also try V2 version ;)

A very neat patch!
Works for me and both tested with GPRS and 3G networks.
Muchos Gracias!! :)

You can use Total Commander for file copying on Universal and it won't show access denied message

Sorted !!!
Thank You

Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??
If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.

Hello all,

Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.

In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.

Any ideas?

TIA

I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.
It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.
The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.
The question is why..
Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?

Yes, I understand.
It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.
Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?
If it's present, then something other is the problem.
Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.
I don't know :(
But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work :)

Hi,

I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.

I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.

I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.

For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.

Cheers,

Steve.

I noticed on mine, I don't have the small bubble notification on top like on AKU 2 ROMs, but it was replaced by a big bubble notification showing how much I was charged with an OK button. A temporary mail icon appeared for 5 seconds followed by a left soft key notification, which I setup from settings. I also have the flashing orange light setup with sounds. So I think we have a lot of options here to remind us that there is a message.

I forgot to mention, I am using PDAViet's ROM.

[StevePritchard]

I'm definately missing some of the icons on the top bar - they have returned now I've uninstalled.

Cheers,

Were you using V1 or V2. I have been using V2.

The moment I try to copy the rssi.dll version 2 file to my window directory i get access denied window pop up. I tried to put the phone in flight mode and then reset again try but no joy. Could anyone please tell me a method as to how to copy this dll file. I am using Jwright .06 rom crossbow. My signature below says it all. :)

Also the new crossbow rom , one cannot activate wifi on/off from the signal strength or G icon. One has to go to comm mgr to activate/deactivate same.

Use Total Commander to copy and paste it in the windows directory.
