hello all,
iam using WM6 "Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b3" and i really hate the "G" symbol on the tray bar near the network symbol, is there anyway to get rid of it?
another question, is it possible to change the name of the device, when it is been searched by BlueTooth? it uses now the "owner name"
any ideas?

Hi guys,
new to the forum.
I got 2 BIG (sorry just a newbie..!) question...
i just got an o2 xda.
a) I managed to set up gprs connection to browse internet pages.
My question is... when I insert my sim in the xda, as soon as my provider (wind italy) is recognised a "G" symbol appears next to the radio signal...but after a few seconds it disappears..what does it mean? that the phone is not working under gprs? should i set up something more to allow the phone to work in gprs mode?
b) can i install any application made for pocket pc on the xda? or does a sort of "porting" exist to make them work on the xda?
Thanks in advance
Paolo
a) dont really understand what you mean
1 you ask about if calls are blocked while you are using GPRS
2 you ask if the G symbol mean that your gsm network dont support gprs
b) no, applications for pocketPC compiled for ARM works under all pda's which have pocketPC and an ARM cpu
I think he is asking why the "G", vanishes after initial connection, is that a sign that gprs is not active or is it normal even while gprs is active. Personally I cant get gprs to work with O2 and I have found no solution even though O2 tells me it is available to me.
that's it! I guess the "G" symbol means that gprs is active at the moment (even for calls). So if after a few seconds the "G" symbol is gone, i guess it means that i'm working under gsm and not gprs.
The question is..assuming that what i'm saying is true.. how is possible to make phone calls under "gprs"?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Paolo
well because autoconf dident include my country or phone company i set up my gprs myself
i did this under
settings
connections
connections
internet settings - modify
new
put a name
select modem -> celluar line (gprs)
typed in the access point of my phonecompany's gprs in my case [Internet]
opened IE
it wanted user name password and domain
i dident type anything at all
but checked save settings
pressed ok and
it loaded the page and i could suft and use messenger and such
Question 1: When the G sign appears when you turn on your radio, it means that GPRS is available. After a few seconds, it always disappears: this does not mean anything. If you connect to GPRS, the G sign does not appear again. If you make a phone call (or receive a phone call) while connected via GPRS, the XDA disconnects automatically from GPRS.
Question 2: Programs for Pocket PC are all compatible with XDA. Just 2 things to remember:
a- some programs are written specifically for some Pocket PCs (like iPaq), so they might not run on XDA
b- some programs related to mobile phones (for managing SMS, fax, ...) are specifically written for PDAs connected to mobile phones (Nokia, ...) and thus not compatible with the Pocket PC Phone Edition
GPRS IE Errors
The logon and password box when you open IE either mean
1. your user name and password for the GPRS connection are incorrect for your provider and contract or
2. You have proxy settings enabled which you don't need
3. You don't have proxy settings and need them.
Hope this helps
Thanks to all,
i managed to understand...that the "G" symbol is disappearing from the main screen but if i "touch" the radio signal a bubble appears with the provider name (ie. WIND) and the "G" symbol on the right side of the bubble.
I guess that means i'm connected in gprs mode all the time. Thanks.

GPRS
Hi Paolo.
The "G" symbol means that your XDA have the GPRS Service active by your cellphone provider.
If you have WM2003, to configure the GPRS funcionality you need to go:
- System Panel - Connections and click in "Connections icon".
- "Add a new Modem connection"
- "Enter a name for the connection and select the option Celular Line (GPRS).... Click Next
- Enter the name for the Access Point (of you provider)... Click Next
- Enter the Username and password, if you need it... Click Advanced
- Enter the DNS Servers manualy, if you need it. Click OK and Finish...
And you have GPRS.
Greetings...
Sorry my english, but it is the best i can.
If somebody has foolproof step by step settings for GPRS over O2 using payg sim, I would be very grateful, I have followed instructions from elsewhere but no joy.

No, you;re only part way there. The presence of the G means that GPRS is available, but does not mean you're connected.
Hallo,

Hi all,
Just received my Atom mgw life, upgraded it to the latest ROM from MGW's site, it's running mobile 6 pro.
I popped in the AT&T sim from my tilt into the atom and first see that the auto configure has no option for the united states...
any idea how I can update that? or...
I do have a signal from AT&T my provider with my sim but I need the 3g config if someone has it including any necessary proxy setup.
Guess I need to do it manually
I have a strong signal on the atom with the sim but when I dial my sim phone number no ring on the atom..
any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi all.
i just want to ask about the 3g icon in x10 mini pro, i can't see it in my mini, can anybody tell me if there is something wrong with my software or its doesn't appear in the mini.
if its appear please put a pic of it
Thanks
Hi,
I'm not sure if it's icon or it's just some text...
Has 3G with two little arrows underneath it, one pointing up the other pointing down, it's obvious what it is, if it's there. It'll only show when 3G data is being used, so if you're connected to a UMTS network but have data off it wont be there.
yes i have these tow arrows with a G letter, thanks for your clarification
That's the one, but with just the G is regular GPRS (2G), E for EDGE (2.5G) and 3G for 3G... if you look in "settings" -> "about phone" -> "network type" you can see if you're on a UMTS or GSM network
I never saw the 3g, just the G and E.
i hope there is no problem i need to fix !!!!
Just change to a better coverage area.
It happens to me when i'm in some bar's. But the minute i come outside the icon changes to 3G with no problems =)
I hope this helps
Cheers!
As long as you haven't set the phone to GSM only and you've got the appropriate version for your region you should be ok.
Hello!
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1N WiFi + 3G (german version) and have updated it to ICS 4.0.4 with the GT-P7500 10.1 Italian ROM (PDA P7500XXLQ8 CSC P7500OXALQ8) via Odin.
Before the update, in Honeycomb PDA P7501XXLB1 CSC P7501DBTLB1 (german original), when I have the SIM Card not inserted, I only saw the "Insert SIM Card" Notification on the Lock screen.
Now, after the update, this notification appears all the time in the Ongoing "field" showing the "no SIM" icon and asking to insert the SIM Card.
Everything works fine when I do insert the SIM Card. The problem is this annoying notification when I don't want to insert the SIM. It seems to me that something is always running, draining the battery and disturbing in the notification area.
Does anyone knows a way to remove this "No SIM" notification when the SIM is not inserted, like in HC?
I have searched for this all over the internet and in this forum and haven't found anything...
Thanks in advance.

Set it to "Flight mode"?

Thanks for the answer, but...
Flight mode disable all the connections and doesn't solve the problem. Instead of the "No SIM" icon, appears the Flight Mode icon and it's not possible to get internet connection...
In Honeycomb, even in normal mode the "No SIM" icon didn't appear.
Thanks anyway.

Correcting I wrote before: in Flight Mode is possible to get the internet connection with WiFi on and the "No SIM" icon and the ongoing notification disappears, but remains the airplane icon....
I believe this can work, but the HC situation was better...
Thanks again, gveloce!

Even enabling 'Flight' mode you can get a wireless connection going but it still displays the 'no sim' warning
Hmmm.
I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct, but I have a feeling that your error's caused because of the rom you flashed.
Doing a quick search of P7500N on SamMobile brought me a few firmwares (I'll try upload a screenshot when I can), none of which matched the firmware of the one you flashed.

i'm using tab 3 7.
air plane on + wifi on will work. no more sim icon on notification, only air plane icon now, which is nicer than sim icon.
