GPRS 'G' no longer there after O2 Update...

[Shadamehr]

Mmmm - just noticed this one...

My little square G for GPRS symbol no longer STAYS on the status bar at the top.

It appears as I soft reset, and find a network, but then disapears.

If I click my signal bar gauge however, the G symbol is shown there.

I know they have changed the Signal Status notification box to list Airline mode now, instead of Wireless off...

So is this another new change, or are the rest of you getting the G to stay on?

I ask, because I actually use my XDA2 on Orange UK, unlocked, but before the Upgrade last night, I still got a solid G stay on with Orange.

Thoughts or comments anyone?

I've actually never seen the "G" stay on the bar with mine, and have been thru several different roms, Qtek, I-mate, T-mobile.

It does exactly as you describe. Personally I don't need to see it all the time.

me too, ever since it never stayed on just popped up to indicate that you've connected to gprs but goes away after a while (started with a 1.52.00 rom)

Same goes for me. I always see the G appear at a start up but never have had the G remain on the screen for more than a few seconds.

On my unit after the Aisa update I can confirm the change in wording to "Turn on flight mode" from "Turn wireless off"

Aha...

I guess I have already sussed it, but can you guys confirm what type of devices and ROM's you had/have.

As i am certain as can be that my XDA2 USED to keep the G symbol on permanent, just like my SmartPhone Orange E200 does now.

But now, after the new UK ROM update, it doesn't stay on.

Now that I know this is by design, and that the initial appearance is to assure you you have a GPRS signal, and that you can check it any time by tapping on the signla bar, I have to say i much prefer this new method of informing you.

I just wanted to check it wasn't an error first - but I can happily send and receive MMS so it must be working fine.
