Why does the 925 not have data activity indicators?

[slyronit]

My dad's 925 got cyan. It didn't have data indicators. Then my wife's 1320 got cyan, which did, so I thought it might only be for newer is bigger screened phones. Last week my 920 got cyan and even it had the indicators.

Wonder why the 925 doesn't have it.

No 925 has it. I am just curious as to why, as the 920 is almost similar in every aspect.

 

[djslofstra]

My L925 actually does have them.

Depends on the carrier. AT&T has them, T-Mobile does not. Just depends on your firmware.

Strange. My 925 is India CV and so is 920

You are right. My south African 925 on mtn carrier also have it now after cyan update.

But I have a unlocked phone and I'm using Pre-Paid. Or do you mean that it depends on the signal you're getting from your carrier instead of the firmware?

 

[slyronit]

No it's dependant on firmware only.

 

[djslofstra]

So that means that every unlocked/unbranded 925 with cyan should have them?

Firmware is distributed by the carrier. Being unlocked/unbranded means nothing by itself. If you download the carriers firmware that has the feature you'll get that feature. If you download another carriers firmware, you won't. Understand?

The India CV unbranded firmware doesn't have it.

Nah, you're wrong. My carrier doesn't provide my phone's firmware. Nokia provides me with firmware. My carrier only provides me with a Sim-card so i can make calls and text people. Understand?

And since you don't get firmware with the data indicator, you don't get the feature. Understand?

BTW, this was a US based OP, hence the question and answers as they were. You can move along now.

But I did get this feature. Understand?

And your second point: Did you say in your OP that it was meant for US members only? NO, you didn't, therefore it is a general OP and not a US specific one. To use your rude note again: Understand?

I'm in the UK, and my unlocked country variant has the data indicators.

 

[Rob Betts]
