I just spent a good while googling this and couldnt really find anything. only other people asking what that symbol means.

I would say try rebooting your phone. sounds like a weird glitch.

So does mine, I have the Reborn ROM, I'm assuming its a normal thing because my internet is working fine...

 

[mike745]

yea tried that and activating it also went to 1x for a min then went back to EU there doesn't seem to be any thing wrong every thing is still working

It means you are roaming in the European Union. This is going to cost you a fortune!!!!




EU = EV = EV-DO = 3G

 

[watskyhotsky]

cost? how do they charge it? its prepaid.

"ok sir, you used roaming data in europe, thats expensive... but technically we cant do anything since your not on contract and prepay for service, soo umm. yeah. theres that"

Mike I saw you post in the Reborn thread. Thats just the icon the dev put for it. EV is still 3G

 

[mmarz]

Yes, I was just kidding. If you look closely at the icon, it is EV not EU. EV is short for Ev-Do. Ev-Do is essentially 3G. Your "EU" icon is just a 3G icon.

While on the subject, 1x is 2G.

ok thanks alot guys for all your help I was just about to start ripping my hair out trying to figure it out

1X=1X NOT 2G. CDMA there is no 2G

 

[mmarz]

1X=1X NOT 2G. CDMA there is no 2G

1x = 1xRTT = 2.5G

2.5G doesn't really mean much since it's not an actually standard, but that it what it is referred to.
