guys i use
w810 and currently am in orissa. the prob is that it shows up E symbol everytime even if there's an edge network available or not.
but the speed is similar to that of a GPRS conn. Is it a f/w bug? anyone else facing similar prob. i dont think there are much edge towers in India. Correct me if i'm wrong. thanks in advance!

E is not edge its Enhanced gprs
Posted by sunils120
whats it? is it an advanced version of gprs. i have heard about HSCSD.
Posted by ajeetpv
enhanced gprs and edge are the same.
HSCSD was the technology older than gprs in which user were charged on the basis of connection time rather than data uses, also it was costlier. its speed were upto 38kbps only.

I think its a bug in SE phones.. (I am not sure)
but one of my frnd too have same prb..
HE is using Vodafon in k550i and ther is no
edge on vodafone in my area but all the
time his mobile shows E over tower signals..

A good option to check if you're on EDGE is to check the browsing speeds late night. During day time EDGE is only marginally faster than plain jane gprs, cut you might notice the difference late night! I get 8 to 12 kBps during day while at night it increases to around 28 to 34ks.. Thats certainly EDGE!

i am gonna try it out but i dont think it'd help as currently am in countryside enjoying vac.

That means your network has upgraded from gprs to edge module in their every bts, and their network.
So it always show E instead of G eventhough theres no edge signal detected.
Actualy thats a good news they had abandoning the slower gprs

perhaps it may be like the 3g phones of nokia showing 3G even there is no network coverage .i think it is not a bug.
