White 3G signal - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read when the 3G signal icon goes white Google services is not connected. I see this more since going to 2.0, didn't notice it on the previous versions. Is this something new with 2.0?
It doesn't appear to effect my internet, calls or texts while white and I am running EC01 radio currently.

1. THIS SHOULD BE IN Q AND A
2. our frameworks have data_connected and data_dormant icons in com rom 2.0 i chose to mimic cm7 rather than what i previously did by keeping the icons the same in 1.0-1.3

Thanks for the quick reply and answer. And sorry about posting this in wrong section.

3G/H not working on ANY ROM

This is a weird, weird problem I can't seem to find anywhere else apart from the MoDaCo forums, which is funny because the problem started after I flashed MCR 3.2, but all the fixes in that thread aren't working for me.
Basically, since flashing MCR 3.2, I no longer get a 3G/'H' data icon in the notification bar AT ALL. In the phone status information it says I am connected to Orange 3G, but it doesn't work - using the browser it says 'no mobile connection found'. WiFi works fine. At first I thought I could just reflash another ROM/the radio again (I'm using the latest one) but nope, 3G appears to be dead. I've tried 4 different ROMs covering everything from 1.5 to 2.1 Legend dumps to no avail.
I've never had a problem like this before... anyone know of any possible fixes I could try?
Cheers.
P.S. I'm using a GSM HTC Hero on Orange.
hold power button down, check if mobile network is activated.
the 3g/h icons become active when you have an active data session. so it is possible that your are attached to a 3g network, but don't see it because you are not data attached, only voice.
have you tried villainrom 3.4? fixes it for me worth a try

[Q] 2.3.6 signal widget app failure

There is an issue afflicting GS2 users where third party signal widgets (like SignalWidgetPro) do not update, or receive info from the op system as to the network signal status when running 2.3.6. Reported to Google here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18336. I used to use Mobile Signal Widget Pro, but it does not work now. I can make it read the signal state by going to settings/about phone/status, tap "signal strength," then return to the homescreen, where the app will have updated, but then it is frozen. Anyone having this trouble also? Workaround?
Entropy, is there by chance a kernel fix to this??
Did it work in UCKH7?
Our builds are known for a bug somewhere that causes signal status to not get updated in some places - until this report the most common thing was in the "Cell Standby" details of the battery history screen, it always reports 100% time without signal. It's somewhere in the modem, RIL, or framework. Based on the fact that it updates in certain circumstances, probably a framework bug.
Does it work in CM7? If so, it's a clear indication of a framework bug.

Have not tried a different modem. May play around with that. I am running UnNamed 2.2.1, w/your 1/2/2012 kernel, and my reception in the house is so good with the KK6 that I have just blown off using the 3d party signal app. I came to the GS2 from the Captivate, where I was running Serendipity VII, build 3, with a JV6 modem. With it, Mobile Signal Widget Pro would freeze, but you could unfreeze it by tapping the widget, and hitting an "unfreeze" button.
EDIT: Looking at all the entries in the http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18336 reports, I see that someone indicated that it is working in CM 7.1, but failing with many modems, across several Gingerbread releases. Posts 116 & 117 in that thread contain some technical info that perhaps developers looking at this page might find useful. Beyond my area of knowledge, at this point.

[Q] connectivity issue with grey signal icon

Hi, I'm using i9100 running:
SlimBean 4.2.2 build 3
Baseband i9100XXLPX
I have been encountering some weird issues with the different colour of the signal bars when blue and grey (both in wifi and mobile data). I have read a whole bunch of threads about this and am pretty sure of a couple of things:
1. Blue = connected to a network and in touch with google servers
2. Grey = connected to a network and not in touch with google servers (you may or may not have internet connectivity with grey)
So when I'm blue everything is fine and works as expected. Except this doesn't happen all the time, when I'm on mobile network only it generally is blue but sometimes isn't. When I connect to wifi networks about 50% of the time (whether or not I have to do some web based authentication after connecting) the wifi signal is grey.
When this happens sometimes I can use web browsing fine, but google play won't work. Sometimes I can use both. Sometimes no internet connectivity, also when this happens if I switch to mobile data they bars remain grey and no connectivity.
Is there a fix or workaround for this as it's very irritating and it also only seems to rear it's ugly head when I really need to use data for something important and works fine when other times just to troll me.
Things I have tried:
Clearing data from google framework services and google play and then rebooting, but didn't work.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated. Lots of people just seem to post what I said in 1 and 2 but don't seem to recognize that there is a problem with the lack of connectivity sometimes when icons are grey.
Thanks
Sadly I'm having the same issue. No fix yet? I'm running slimbean 4.2 cause build 5 gps is broke
Have you tried changing your modem? A good start would be LP4, but every modem is different for everyone. Also, when the WiFi icon is grey for me, nothing loads. When it is blue, it does load. To fix this for me, I just reset the router/booster, and it will work fine. Annoying I know, but at least it's a workaround.

[Trickdroid] Wifi and other problems

I'd post this under the Trickdroid thread, but I guess I don't have enough rep to post in a dev forum. Anyways:
I installed the latest Trickdroid (7.5.0) & tweaks on my brand new AT&T HTC One (replaced GNexus). Everything was working great yesterday, and earlier today at work, but tonight it won't connect to my home WiFi. I've tried rebooting, forgetting and re-entering password, but nothing. When I try to connect, I see "Connecting" and the spinning blue circle, but it returns to "Saved, secured with WPA" without connecting. There are many other devices connecting to the Router with no issues.
Also, When I get a call, the phone shows the pattern unlock screen, but no indication that there is a call other than the ringing sound until I unlock the phone. I'm not familiar with sense. Is this correct?
Under Trickdroid settings --> Status bar, --> clock --> statusbar clock style, if I center the clock, I eventually end up with two clocks, one in the middle and one on the right.
The last two are minor, but the WiFi is a deal breaker.

1. I have the same issues with the status bar clock. I just keep it on normal. It's annoying that I can't put it where I want but nothing really you can do about it now. I'm also running on trickdroid 7.5.0. The double clock thing is aggravating lol!
2. I have the same issues with my incoming calls as you. I want to report this but I still don't have enough credibility to post in DEV forums yet.
3. As for the wifi I had the same issue at 1st. Have you tried going into system settings > wifi > advanced > toggle the wifi optimization and best wifi performance to off and on then reset the router and modem. I didn't have any problems connecting to to the router with my other devices but I reset the router anyways. After the router and modem booted back up I logged on and it worked. I hope this fixes your problem.

This is the first ROM I've ever put on my wife's phone. If I can't find a fix for #2, It may be the last. I could try an AOSP ROM which is more what she's used to, but I thought we'd try sense.
The WiFi was working when I got up this morning, and is working now. Odd.
When you guys flashed 7.5, did you elect to do a full wipe via Aroma? I'm on 7.5, with WiFi working, and my clock is center only. No issues. Not sure what the issue is. I'm on AT&T, and selected AT&T during the Aroma install process.

Yes I did a wipe.
It's not so much the trickdroid rom itself. The clock thing only happens if you flash the trickdroid tweaks. Just don't flash the tweaks. I only did it for the asop jellybean lock screen. But went back after the clock issue and lock screen issues.
Wifi is a hit or miss thing with these roms. I had an issue with cyanogen as well with my wifi.
It's best to just wait for a stable build from cyanogen or for the google edition rom.
This is my first time with anything android and so far I find it to be fragmented as far as support and consistency.

I did a full wipe too. I've installed it on two more phones, so I'll be interested to see if they all have the problems.

[Q] Data connection keeps dropping on GPE 4.3

Does anyone else have an issue with their Tmobile data connection dropping? The "H" symbol shows full bars, but it turns gray instead of blue. Toggling Airplane mode seems to fix it. I'm running a 4.3 GPE Rom, GE_Radio_4A.18.3263.15_10.38h.1157.04L radio, and the latest faux kernel. This was also happening on my 4.2.2 Rom.

You might have more luck posting this in the general One forum. Most users in this forum (T-Mobile HTC One) aren't going to be on the same radio/ROM you're on.
