Hi,
On Universal WM5 AKU 3 versions, and WM6 the little G icon in the upper left corner of signal strength icon is not correctly displayed.
G is displayed instead of 3G when Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
So my current toy is to fix this
Helmi talked about RSSI_Icons.dll on an other forum. ( Thanks )
RSSI_Icons.dll is responsible for radio signal strength and big data icon displaying.
I have written a new RSSI_Icons.dll.
It's a very first version, so it may contain bugs.
And unfortunately I don't have possibility to test it under different network conditions. It's working in my room(3G), and it's working If I try it on G network. But who knows
So anybody who likes can try it and report any bugs here. Thanks!
Install :
- unzip RSSI_Icons.zip and copy RSSI_Icons.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset
Uninstall:
- rename RSSI_Icons.dll to RSSI_Icon.dll for example
- soft reset
- After soft reset you will see original RSSI_Icons.dll because it's in ROM
- delete RSSI_Icon.dll
See the attached screenshots with the new RSSI_Icons.dll
First pic:
Universal is esablishing connection to the internet on 3G network.
Animated arrows, and little 3G icon!
Second Pic:
Universal is connected to the internet via 3G.
Notice little 3G icon
Version 2 (RSSI_IconsV2.zip)
---------------------------------
- Fixed small memory leak bug and slightly modified conditions
- Before installing uninstall previous version
I will leave previous version here if somebody have problem with V2.

Have tried it on O2 in London and seems to work fine. Couldn't get a 3G connection at first but I suspect that that was probably down to the weather at the time! Now I have a 3G connection, it seems to swap icons happily when I go from 3G to GPRS. Thanks for curing that annoying niggle!
Ok..work perfectly!
Installed... Nice tweak, congrats!
3g tweak
I niticed that I no longer was able to activate wifi with your dll. The option is not there and wifi would not activate in the com manager.

It's not my dll's fault. Maybe one program that was installed before.
I use wifi every day and I can activate it from the big G/3G icon and from Comm Manager.
And I'm using my own RSSI_Icons.dll of course

A very neat patch!
Works for me and both tested with GPRS and 3G networks.
Muchos Gracias!!

You can use Total Commander for file copying on Universal and it won't show access denied message
Sorted !!!
Thank You
big g/u icon
Hi is there a way of converting the large G/U icon to say 3G instead of U??
If you understand me. When connected to umts it says U but the small icons now say 3g. Hmmmmmm confusing.
Not working
Hello all,
Tried this in a i-amte JasJar, with Helmi's WM Aku 3.2, and did not get the little U, altough I was for sure conected in UMTS mode.
In fact, the only diference I could see, is that the normal, big U, dissapeared, and now it shows only big G, no matter wath kind of phone connection I get.
Any ideas?
TIA

I don't have this error because I'm Using Helmi WM6 1.1.
It seems that your OS didn't load my RSSI_Icons.dll at all.
The factory default RSSI_Icons.dll is only responsible for big U, and when you overwrite it with mine and your OS doesn't like it, you will only see big G.
The question is why..
Do you see warning bubbles when you run unsigned exe/dlls ?

Yes, I understand.
It's strange because big 3G icon is included in my RSSI_Icons.dll.
Windows should call the exported LoadOemDataIcon and LoadOemDataIcon should do LoadIcon for big 3G if HKLM\System\OEM_State\RSSI, CSAF value is 16. Can you check this registry value ?
If it's present, then something other is the problem.
Maybe windows doesn't call at all LoadOemDataIcon on your OS.
I don't know
But if you like drawing you can use a resource editor to change small 3Gs to Us. That's my last idea, but it must work
Hi,
I've been using this since it came out, both V1 and V2, however, I've noticed a problem with it, I think.
I don't get the text and mail notification icons in the top bar (possibly voicemail too), and when there are multiple notifications (when you get the speech bubble) then the lower bar is always empty.
I can't say all of these symptoms are due to this DLL, but the text icon definately seems to be.
For info, I'm using Helmi's v1.1 Crossbow.
Cheers,
Steve.

I noticed on mine, I don't have the small bubble notification on top like on AKU 2 ROMs, but it was replaced by a big bubble notification showing how much I was charged with an OK button. A temporary mail icon appeared for 5 seconds followed by a left soft key notification, which I setup from settings. I also have the flashing orange light setup with sounds. So I think we have a lot of options here to remind us that there is a message.
I forgot to mention, I am using PDAViet's ROM.
I'm definately missing some of the icons on the top bar - they have returned now I've uninstalled.
Cheers,
Steve.

Hi there,
as you can see in the screenshot. I am not sure if I am connected with 3G or not. Acctually it looks like I am not. I think the small G should be a smal 3G, correct?
I had this problem with different rom and radio versions since I installed windows mobile 6.
Berfore I had WM5 with no problem.
How can I be sure if it is GPRS or 3G?
Cheers,
Christoph
Yep - you are connected with 3G. The little "G" icon is a little misleading, it just means you are connected - the icon to the left will indicate what sort of connection you have.
Cheers,
Steve.
There is already a solution for this if you are using WM6 ROM. 3G Icon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293375
Thanks! Perfect!
I wonder why I did not find this by myself.
Thanks for the quick help!
Great Forum here!
Cheers!

I find this solution isn't that great to be honest. Although it does work in itself, it tends to break all the other icons that you get on the top bar.

lol... on this topic, I was having problems with 3g... was up in London testing the video call beta pack and couldn't get any 3g signal...
turns out O2 supplied me with a non 3g chip!!!! How bloody useless are they!!! lol

Hi Steve,
I don't have the problem you described. Are you referring to the icon like a mail icon, appearing during an email or text message, as an example? If yes, then it still appears on mine.
I personally think too, that there are too many notifications already showing. For example, I get a text message, I get the email icon on the top bar, I get the bubble stating I have this # of text or email, and another notification on the left soft key. To me, having 3 notifications for one event is not good. First of all, it eats up memory. We all know, memory use is not one of the strong points in the Universal. Second, to negate all those notifications for one event, we choose which one to tap, and that is right, but who needs 3 notifications for one event in reality?
Sorry, for ranting on Microsoft...
Regards,
After upgrading to Schapps' WM6 rom, i didn't like my connection icons at the top of the screen only having a link to the wireless manager. I followed the guide below to restore the previous functionality:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.phpt=294987&highlight=flight+mode+bubble
However, while the flight mode link works, the "turn on wifi" link is broken, it turns it on but won't display "turn off wifi" and won't let me turn it off. Why is this broken, and is there a reg hack to let me fix it?
Also, WM5 let me display both the signal icon, the 3G icon and the wifi icon all at the same time. Now the 3G icon 'morphs' into the wifi icon. Why has this behaviour changed? Is there a way to keep WM6 but make the connection icons behave like WM5?
this has been a bug since the first release of WM6 so I take it your new to the game. as of right now the only fix is the wifi bubble fix cab. search and you will find it. also the link you posted don't work.

Okay, thanks for the heads up. Are microsoft aware of the issue and do they intend to fix it? Also the link works if you delete the space near the end of bubble. I was typing this on my Hermes and for some reason the cut and paste is screwing up.
Just out of interest, is this bug discussed anywhere? I've spent ages searching but not found much.
Edit: Does this bug also include the fact the 3G icon no longer is displayed whenever wifi is used? WM5 definitely displayed both at the same time.
hi everybody.. after enabling gprs on my SIM I'm having this problem with my phone:
I've uploaded he pic that best describes the problem on it. (as I am a new member the forum do not allow me to attach an outside link so I had to put a link)
ok. I think I have to explain it: whenever I connect to gprs the G sign on top (that is a beautiful tiny one with round corner) change to a ugly big white like G and it reamins so even after disconnecting from gprs! and after passing some minutes or some hours it goes back to the original form. sometimes it happens automatically without conecting to gprs. the big G sign is really bad looking and disturbes all the beauties there.
I don't know if I could describe the problem or not. in the pic it was exactly mentioned but the forum doesn't allow me to upload it. any way that was the problem
any solution?
my phone: HTC pro2 - updated by win6.5 official
thanks all very much
