New GPRS attach icon in the iPhone 3G v2.1 firmware
Posted by Mike on September 13th, 2008Just curious, why Apple should again change the icon that represents the current data network attach mode. I now see either the blue square with 3G in it, or this, when in GPRS coverage:
Note that this is GPRS, and not EDGE – it would be interesting to see what the icon for that is now, maybe a squiggle?
You should follow me on Twitter here.
I don’t have GPRS enabled, but this icon still shows, why’s that so?
3G > Off
Edge > Off
Data Roaming > Off
Location Services > Off
Fetch New Data > Off
Cellular Data Network APN changed to a random name
Help will be much appreciated.
Hi there!!
the bubble icon states that you do have GPRS activated on your iphone.. perhaps you can check your mobile plan to see if there is any data plans in it?
You have to go into your settings and ENABLE 3G to override the GPRS or EDGE connection.
