EDGE [E] icon instead of GPRS [G] !

---

On the top of the screen you have the GPRS icon which looks like [G], however the phone is EDGE, right ?
The tool I found the web allows you to display the EDGE icon like [E].

Just copy the CAB file to your ppc, execute it and reboot !

Works fine.

Nice ! Thanks...

Does this just show an E for everything or when I am on GPRS instead of Edge it switches appropriately?

just replaces it entirely - so if you're not actually on an EDGE network, but on a GPRS network, you'll see an 'E'.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

We really want to know whether we are on a GPRS network or an EDGE network. I installed ROM 1.6.7.1 from Qtek on my K-Jam and I have the E & G icons and they switch back and forth depending on network coverage.

you see G and E *AFTER* doing the reg hack or *WITHOUT* doing it? Ths is what we're all looking for.

thanks!

*after*. by default, EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon is set to 0 in qtek 1.6.7.1 ROM. after setting it to 1 and soft-reset it works.

gah, was using the wrong sim! now it works - sorry about that

i have installed the new rom... tried to do the regisry hack by changing it from 0 to 1.but the icon still shows [G]..alot of other ppl seem to have the same problem..dont knw why....

but at the end of the day, i aint quite fussed wether its G or E :p

FWIW, I did this registry hack & my phone is now displaying G when in GPRS territory, and E when in EDGE territory.
I just got back from a trip to Bangkok, where I use the DTAC network. When in parts of Bangkok where EDGE is available (Siam Square, Sukhumvit, Asoke, etc) my phone would display the E icon. When in areas with GPRS only (Saphan Kwai, Mo Chit, etc) then it displayed the G icon. My reported speeds on dslreports.com/mspeed confirmed my observations (GPRS approx 35-40k/sec, EDGE approx 75-80k/sec)
