So I seem to have my c905a working just how I want it to as far as video streaming goes. see here http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=188960
The odd thing is that now when I am on wifi at my house watching youtube, the "earth icon" appears in the corner of the screen. The gsm signal at my house is bad at best and judging by the speed with which my phone is downloading and buffering, it is safe to assume it is using the WiFi.
So why does it still have the earth icon? Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't the "earth icon" mean the phone is using your network provider's data network? Is it a glitch or should I be expecting a huge bill?(I have unlimited data but, I think At&t have a cap on non-iphone unlimited data plans)

The icon icon represents network provider data network, meaning that it is not using wifi.

Thanks I thought so. Why is it popping up while I'm on Wifi then? It is clearly using the wifi connection considering the speed with which it is downloading.....
