3G [3G] icon v.s. UMTS [U]

---

Okay,

This is driving me nuts, i've been a lurker on this forum for months now, and i've searched all over this forum (for the last 3 hours) to find a fix for this but I havent found one.

I'm in Australia, and we've got UMTS here, it's working because it says "UMTS Telstra" in the dialer, but other then that I've still got the 3G icon displaying at the top and it NEVER changes, its so annoying!

I've tried XDA Live 0.10, 0.20 and now i'm using the 15-03-2007 LSVW release and nothing's changed...

I know i'm not the only one experiencing this, but has anybody found a solution for it?

Other than that everything else works great!

Yeah but with WM5 it showed U for UMTS, G for GPRS, E for Edge etc...

Infact it was rare that i ever saw the 3G icon at all..

Its installed on certain ROMs and some roms have "U" by default and the ext rom installs the "3G" over it. We refer to it as 3G over here (I think many that use 3G will sit there and scratch their head at the mention of UMTS) so it dont bother me.
If my memory serves me correctly, the HTC 1.35 ROM has the "U" and not "3G"
Also there is a thread on this with some cabs to try if you run a search.

I've searched all over this forum, and I haven't found it... I think i did come across it once before but when i tried to look for it now I couldn't find it... (very annoying)...

I know the I-Mate roms show it as a "U" because thats what I had on prior to WM6

Any idea what i should search for? I've tried "3G Icon" and "UMTS"

Also the UMTS is just a text string you can change in the registry. For me I've changed the UMTS to HSDPA to correspond with our network offering in Canada.

But when not in a 3G coverage area that text string is no longer there.

Yeah i know about that one, I discovered it in XDA-Live 0.10...

If anyone could please post either the cleaner 3G icon or the "U" icon and instructions on how to install them, i'd be very thankful

If you let the ext rom on LVSW install then it will install the cleaner icon

I was annoyed by this when I moved to WM6 too.
Doesn't this help?

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com...HSDPA_Icon.CAB
"Recommended - Sets the memory cache to Auto and adds the HSDPA icon in registry file"

This cab work's good for me with wmxl 0.21
