WiFi icon missing...but I'm still connected

tides · May 3, 2010, 02:54 AM

Jail broke my iPad, installed backgrounder and everything worked fine.

Then I installed SSH, changed my password, and enabled voice control. At some point during that whole process my wifi icon went missing. Nevertheless, I'm connected to my router and can still load webpages.

Tried restarting and reseting network settings. No dice.

Anyone have a solution to this or am I gonna have to bite the bullet and restore?

Download Respring from Cydia.

I had the same issue until I did that. Hit Respring, and when springboard re-loads, your icon should be back and working normally

Yeah Respringing does it. I can confirm the same happened to me.

Ah yes, the one thing I didn't try.

Thanks =)

Respringing really does it but in my case, it succeeds only as long as I put the iPad to standby. When I power it down (ie by pressing the power button 3+ seconds) and turn it on again, the wifi icon goes away again...

I have this as well but my ipad1 is not jail broken. It started after upgrading to 4.3. It seems that if I switch airplane mode on and off, it goes away for a while. Anyone else seeing this?
