Probably a completely pointless question but...

I have a Sony Ericsson k750i and my battery indicator in the top right is in little grey blocks, my friend who has the same phone has his battery indicator as a continuous green block.

I am on Vodafone, he is on Orange. Is there any way to change this, or is this controlled by the network?

@cdw - Welcome aboard mate ! I am certain that it's not network dependent Most probably it's the - LCD Aside from the battery indicator, is there anything else acting/showing strange icons in your fone compared to that of your friend's? [addsig]

no, no strange icons, I'm just unsure whether its a firmware thing, I know that some networks install alternative icons and I thought the battery icon might be one they change.

Given a choice here, if the fone is still under warranty, might as well have it replaced than going on an upgrade pal. Good luck ! [addsig]

sorry JN, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick... I have no problems with my phone, my friend has no problems, there is no degradation in screen quality, I am not unhappy with the display, neither is my friend. This is just an inquiry as I couldn't find an answer on the web. I'm pretty sure its dependant on either firmware or network - I was just wondering if it could be adjusted using the phone settings.

Thanks for your interest though

@cdw - As far as what I know about battery indicators mate, it only appears in Green/Yellow/Red hues and NOT in GREY shade dude. If you have no problem with that then I guess we have NO problem here at all. Honestly, I just find that GREY BLOCKS in the battery indicator quite - extraordinary, in my K750i, I only manage to see those GREY BLOCKS when I am adjusting the - VOLUME . . . Good Luck ! [addsig]

JN, I think it may be down to Vodafone branding

Before I upgraded my vodafone k750i to the newest firmware, using DaVinci, my battery indicator had little black/grey blocks. After the update, it has the continuous green - I figure that the DaVinci update must have stripped away some of the Vodafone branding.

dirbobesh, thanks for that, that pretty much confirms my suspicions, my friend will be disappointed, as he prefers my grey/black battery indicator over the standard SE battery icon that hes got on orange. I guess this post shows - that we (my friend and I) have too much time on our hands discussing trivial matters like this. Looks like vodafone got one thing right at last - a nice battery icon, well done vodafone!

Hold on, I've got a Vodafone UK K750i and my battery bar is green when full, changing to orange then red as it runs out.

No grey/black blocks for me.

I'm running R1L firmware.

Voda's k700 batt icon was the grey blocks as opposed to the green/red on other non and branded phones. If you like it then good on ya!
