T-Mobile data icons

[tp2tmus]

On my sprint tp, when a data connection was open it would show the grey arrows and they would turn white when data was being transfered. On this tmo tp2, it just shows that its connected. It doesn't show if data is being transfered or not. Is there any workaround for this? A lot of times I can't get a web page to display and im not sure if it's not sending the request or it's just taking too long.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
