what is this symbol?

[Acronym]

as the topic states i found a wierd symbol in place of my 3G symbol (never used 3G before) i assume its a signal strength indicator? stating that i have 0 3G? but then wouldnt it go to edge? here look one with no bars and one with 5 bars

I forget exactly what it stands for but it's the data conection below EDGE. ie. The worst ever.

It means you have neither 3g nor EDGE -- you're running a GPRS connection, which at max only goes up to 114 kbit/sec.

Are you jailbroken?

Well with ATT you get three possible indicators; 3G, E, and e. e being the non-enhanced edge (sorry I'm at a loss for the real terminology.) I think yours are 3G, O, and o.

Nice wallpaper btw.

Yup, GPRS

 

[aethelbert]

An above poster is correct... it is GPRS meaning that you've left coverage areas for EDGE and 3G.

So, now that you have your answer, do you care to post that wallpaper?

This is correct. I've seen it a few times here in the states, too. Thanks, AT&T.

thanks for the reply at first i thought maybe i was going to die in 7 days or something and i am on a 3GS so JB isnt an option yet.

also for those that are wondering in Canada it goes 3G E o (according to what that smybol means)

So, now that you have your answer, do you care to post that wallpaper?

Haha no problem I used to have a crap load but my computer died and I lost them all

I've seen that symbol several times! 3G is pretty thick in my area but every once and a while, typically after I've just ended a phone call or a heavy data cell usage app I'll see this for a second but then it jumps right back to 3G.

Also thanks for the wallpapers!

for the record i only got that symbol from storing my phone in a wallet locker

Its not just Canada, it is everywhere. This is just the standard sequence of cell connections listed from fastest to slowest.

Thanks for putting the wallpapers up.

I think this would be a good thread name this Iphone symbol?

Cool wallpapers, glad I haven't seen that symbol before
