HTC S710 - what's this symbol mean?

#1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007, 04:58 PM

I've looked in the manual and can't find this. My HTC S710 usually displays
a inverse G to indicate GPRS is available. Sometimes, it changes to a
smaller inverse G over a little white solid triangle.

Anyone any idea what that means?

Thanks, Rob.

I think its when you are 'roaming' and using a non-home networks GPRS
connection. Mine SPV C600 has only changed to this symbol when I have been
abroad.

It means that your phone is actively using the GPRS connection, either
to access the internet or to send/receive an MMS message.
