I'm getting H icon on my tytn now when I'm online. I was not aware that At&t had HSDPA rolled out. Anybody else had this happened to them?? First time that I see H icon in usa. I love it, also if some of you guys do know about At&t runing HSDPA what are the speeds that you are getting??
Thanks
Man if you dont know at-t has 3g something is up with you.. they bought cingular think about it. do a speed test and see what speeds you get... it should switch back and forth from 3g to H

I know they do, I never got H icon before, I always had 3G, I just wanted to know if anybody else had H icon cause when I'm online on the phone H icon is always on. Once when I'm online it never goes back to 3G just stays at H.
The newer radios don't use HSDPA until needed, so the connection sits at 3G until the device downloads something, and then it switches to HSDPA, thus why you see the 'H'...

Early Radio versions didn't have HSDPA enabled in them, the later radios (all those with a protocol version ending with 'H') have HSDPA enabled on them.
HSDPA rocks.
So could this be the reason why I get an E (edge) instead of a G, I just upgraded to black. When i soft reset the phone, the shows up for a minute then goes to e. It never done that before i upgraded... I also have cingular.
well E = EDGE which is a little faster than straight up G = Gprs so thats a good thing they might have upgraded the towers in your area or something since Black is a OS.nb only install and doesn't have a Radio.nb in the package... OR it could be that your older rom didnt have the proper icon base inside of it and only supported the G icon

what do you think? do you think HSDPA is faster than 3G? have you done any looking into this to see what type of speed you could get? did you look at the cingular website?
I was wondering if there was something I could download, or something from the market that i could download that would make my phone say H instead of 3G? My vibrant is not rooted.
I'm wondering why... but there won't be an app to do that. The G E and 3G icons are held in drawables. So unless you make your own update.zip with replaces drawables, I don't that's going to happen.

Why do you want it to display that? The H is generally displayed when you're using HSPA/HSPA+. If you're connected t 3G it will say 3G. If you're connected to Edge, you'll get an E and if you're on the barebones cell network all you get is the number of bars you have.

I think he wants his phone to be like nexus one is, or other android phones are running custom roms, specifically cyanogen mod. With cm, it will jump from 3g to h icon quite often when data is used, does it to me in my area. I get hspa speeds here, but 3g is the only icon displayed. I like it this way more, the constant jump from 3g to hspa in notifications pane is annoying. Maybe he just wants people to see that his phone is on hspa and not 3g, because the icon doesn't change to that on stock rom.
I remember the first time my g1 said h... Had to call a buddy with a g1 and had to find an i*hone to make jealous...
Its worth bragging about...

Not true. I have a stock rom on my Vibrant and it does toggle between 3g and hybrid. It just depends on whether or not you have the new radios broadcasting in your area. Some markets have a lot of hybrid running, while many others have little to none. One of my best friends is an RF tech for T-Mo.
Haha "H" doesn't stand for "Hybrid"

No ****, Einstein! It stands for HSDPA, but ask any switch tech and he will tell you its hybrid. Right now in many markets, it is a true hybrid mix of HSDPA and 3g and not explicitly one or the other. Do some research before you criticize someone, retard!
Lol I'm cool too, see I'm posting from my vibrant!

I downloaded the user manual to the vibrant (not the one that comes in the box) and it definitely says that there is a 'H' icon. I wonder why they don't have it displayed when actually connected to a HSDPA+ connection?
This is the text next to the 'H' Icons:
Displays when the 3G+ network connection is active.
Displays when your phone is communicating with the
3G+ network.
What does it mean when there's just a G?
3G means 3G
E means EDGE
H means Hybrid/HSPA or whatever. I was out of town last weekend, and noticed that it was just a G.
GPRS, slooooow slooooow data speeds

Gprs is a step below edge.

I read that our vibrant is not + capable, or just not supported by tmob currently.

I will look for some white icons and make a black bar with the H symbol
They are already in the phone...
Oh I figured they just left them out... I didn't look tho.. And haven't been to any good areas since I changed my bar... So I wouldn't see anything more than 3g...

Weird, because I get speeds which are way better than 3g, yet it never goes higher. My nexus with custom rom always displayed h in my area.

This mod will switch the 3G icons to the H icons when connected to the 3G/H network. There is also a revert option for those who want to switch back.

Description
This mod is very simple in that it switches the H and 3G icons so the 3G files are still embedded into the firmware, however, they will never be addressed by your phone.
Instructions
1. Unzip with a file manager like Astro
2. Apply using Metamorph by choosing the enclosed XML file
-Enjoy

if you want your phone to "accurately" tell you if you have hspa coverage then go to settings, about phone, status... its under mobile network type...
I did the same thing with the G, E, and 3G on my g1 to mess around with a friend... doesnt mean I was actually in an hspa area

No no, I understand all this, I didn't mean to come off so naive as I did. I do work for T-Mobile Tech Care and I fully get all that. My phone does get HSPDA in the Settings area in which you spoke. And there's an app called Mobile Signal Widget free on the market that does an amazing job of accurately letting you know what network you are connected to and the strength as well. Anyway, sorry I just wanted to clarify:
I made this because the Vibrant itself will only ever display 3G even when it's HSPDA (not HSPA+). I think it's only fair for people to have the option to show H when they are actually in H coverage. I know when I'm in real 3G areas it will say H, but I live and commute in a highly HSPA+ area, and at home I'm pulling in 5-7mb/s on average even when tethering.
Sorry for the rant, I typed the first post on my phone and I came to spice it up now on my laptop.
Works with onyx. Great job.
Didn't work on AOSpish rom with metamorph.
if understand this correctly, this will show H even though your only on 3G?
not working on axura rom for some reason
Not working with Macnut r12 w/ black goodness theme
Didn't work for me on onyx 4.2 W/ Black froyo theme =[
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Onyx 4.2 Ulf Overkill Jfs
Yea me either.. No go on the onyx with black froyo..
Doesn't work on Axura 2.0.6
Is there any way to got this to work on the other roms?
No luck on obsedian v5 with black froyo theme

I suppose it will depend on your framework-res.apk file since its sucha small edit. You can all just flip flip it using meramorph. I have stock 2.2 so the framework-res im running on is stock.
Its bc the newest roms have drawable-hdpi-v4 folders instead of just drawable-hdpi... You should probably put both in there for compatibility purposes...

Could anyone tell me what is the speed of Photon on GSM data network, is it 7.2, 14.4, 21 MBps??
I have been looking for several hours now. Planning to get this phone as a GSM device for about $300
Also, does the Mobile Hotspot work on GSM 3G?
Thanks a lot.
is it 7.2 .
ok, thank you.
Thant is not too speedy, but good enough.
I am able to tether using GSM. FYI I am running Alien Rom, and although the rom works pretty well I don't get any signal bar indication on GSM. I do get a signal and data, just no bars showing in the notification.
So I just got the Deepshining ROM installed on my TMobile Radar 4G (USA)
Have a question about the flashed radio... is it only 3G? Before I flashed the radio and ROM I used to always get 4G (and sometimes 2G). Now, I am spending a big chunk of my time at "3G".
The phone doesn't seem to be slower, so I don't know if it is just branding, or what? Any experience on this?
Also, I did change the settings to make the radio, "North America".

Haven't experienced it. I have an H on my status bar right now and also on Deep Shining.
Did you mess with any other settings after installing?
It's just branding. T-Mobile changed both the 3G and H indicators to 4G. The custom ROM you installed probably has the standard 3G/H ones instead.
I changed another setting on the phone somewhere to display 3G+ as 4G. Now, I am occasionally seeing a "4G" status.
But, it really doesn't matter. Speeds seem good, and seems to be all branding anyway.
Awesome, awesome ROM!!
just to give some extra info Radar got an 3G antenna and Radar 4G got an 4G antenna and that thingy next to your connection bar doesnt show the actual antenna but just a string from the registry or somewhere in the rom i got an radar and a radar 4g rom and it show 4G but I still got 3G connection
