4G Indicator on Jailbroken 5.0.1?

That would be very easy to accomplish.
Just gotta copy and replace the current 3G icon using ssh.

 

I'm sure we will see a package on cydia down the road.
Shouldn't be hard to copy over the code and install it on 5.0.1

 

I agree. Give it a day or so.

The only reason I would ever be tempted to go to 5.1 is really just due to smart playlists working over iTunes match ... but other than that 5.1 is a huge blah

 

I'd prefer a more realistic tweak that differentiates between and displays 3G and H+ when appropriate

 

This is something I'm interested in too, just to see where I have AT&T HSPA+ and where I do not rather than running Speedtest and trying to guess which speeds are which.

Not a dealbreaker or reason to lose a JB, but would still be cool.

 

Completely agree. AT&T claims I have HSPA+ in my area. I don't really see the massive speed boost. I get ~3mbit. It would be interesting to see what my phone thinks I have in my area.

 

That's the thing.
They might have enabled HSPA+ in your area but if they didnt add the appropriate backhaul on their towers to push that speed you will still see low speeds like 1-2mbps
So really the 4G doesnt indicate much cause I believe they updated almost all 3G towers to HPSA+

 

I searched for such a tweak within minutes of jailbreaking my 4S. I still haven't seen it. I checked with at&t and they claim that all the sites in my area have the enhanced data backhaul. I have seen no improvement in speed, I have a 4 in my house and the speeds are pretty much the same all the time.

 

I would like this as well

 

yes! please help.

 

I have a feeling that the only way we are going to get this feature is by waiting for a jailbroken 5.1.. :/

 

There is no way to like extract the at&T carriersettings bundles and load it onto a 5.0.1 iPhone?

 

Well I would think there would be some way to do so, which is why we are asking for someone smarter than us on jailbreaking.

 

It might require the 5.1 baseband, commcenter, or both.

I agree. I check On cydia often, I honestly figured that someone would've just done it... Who doesnt want to know what network they're on? It seems important to me. But yes I don't know how to do it so I'm not complaining.

 

Maybe a H+ symbol instead of the 4G one?

 

Removed

 

Anyone find one?

 

anyone?

 

Im using 4G for iphone4 on my 4S and it works perfectly on 5.0.1

 

Thanks for your reply. I checked this out, but unfortunately; it does not actually allow your iPhone 4S to display an indicator when your phone connects to the HSPA+ network, it merely changes the 3G logo to a 4G one.

 

Oh yea sorry about that guess next time i should read the OP..
