Help G2 top status icon indicators explained ?

[afrowookie]

Hi all I live in Canada and I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 4G GT-I9100M with Virgin Mobile.

Just wondering why my phone is not connected to 4G.

My friend got the Samsung Galaxy S2 X with Bell or Rogers(can't remember) anyways while sitting down side by side we were trying to download the same app at the same and only then did I realize that his phone was connecting at 4G and mine wasn't. Could this be a setting on my phone. My phone is rooted and is Gingerbread v2.3.3 as far as I know I don't remember ever seeing a 4G icon on my phone even when I first got it and before I rooted it. However I do sometimes see a icon that is green and orange/red color.

Thanks in advance,

Yea, that'll be the 'Syncronisying' symbol.

To check whats sync'ing... Menu > Settings > Accounts and sync. It should tell you here.

I read thru the thread and came to know that the applications have been successfully downloaded.
My interest is what are the bags doing in the left hand corner?
How can I remove them

I have had my SIM-free GS2 for about 2 months and have only yet used it in my house with wireless access through my b/band wireless router. I have not yet inserted a SIM card

On my status bar from right to left I have:
24 hr time indication
battery level indicator

and then, possibly, two wireless indicators:
the first is up to 4 vertical bars
to the immediate left is a vertical fan with a dot at the bottom with (up to) 3 semi-circular bars above

I suspect the fan icon indicates the proximity/strength of wireless hotspot locations/access but what do the vertical bars indicate?

Sometimes I get 3 or 4 vertical bars when the fan icon is completely dead.

Thanks to an earlier link to the GS2 pdf manual, I have since found definitions for all the status bar icons (depending on region/service provider) on pages 21 and 22 in the Getting Started section.

The (up to) 4 vertical bars indicates signal strength

The fan shaped icon indicates a WLAN connection though the bottom dot and up to 3 semi circular bars seen presumably indicates the connection strength.

Could the reason that I can have full signal strength and none or weak WLAN connection mean that the signal strength can also apply to other GS2 functions such as GPS and phone?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

On my galaxy s2 when the call connects, there's a wave bar with a line through it. What does it mean?
