Help about 3G icon on Roms - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im a noob and im running the vibrant on the bionix-v rom and I cant seem to get the 3G icon instead of the H
How can I change that?

H is 3G it represents 3g and 3.5g the rom probably had this embedded when making it. to change you would need to push it in adb

Well I know that H is 3G but I want,it to say 3G and it changes but only when im on maps
Any ideas why?

Vibrant on ATT

Hello im am using a vibrant unlocked on ATT with trigger 2.8.1 (which is pretty awesome stock, Ultra smooth) was wondering if anyone else is getting the H logo for data because i get the H logo and its pretty fast. Ocasionally i see the 3g logo flash for a split second but i mostly get an H logo. Whats the.difference between the H and 3g and am i really getting that H signal or is that just an illusion built into the rom?

I'd like to know as well
as far as i know, the H is 3.5G...so its faster than regular 3G

The "H" means you have the potential of a 7.2 mb download though I have never seen faster than 5.8mb on H.... still plenty fast

AT&T HSPA (H) and UMTS (3G) coverage.

Hi All,
Ever since I debranded my phone when I first got it, I almost constantly get "H" rather than "3G" in my home. However, lately I have been getting a mixture of H and 3G. Is AT&T "downgrading" their network or something?! Knowing that they are crappy, I would not be surprised if they are actually starting to "cap" or "throttle" the speed of their network in some areas.
Anyone else experience a similar thing?
No they didn't. H comes in when you do something like go on the browser. Otherwise it just says 3g but its really h

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's the thing, even when I go on the browser it sometimes stays on 3G.
Afaik they are not throttling their service on the 3g end only when they light up the lte. Mine has been consistently h unless it's idle as someone suggested.

Sometimes. Not since switching from Rendeiros last rom to his latest. I would reboot then try it again with wat u were doing. That worked for me

Yep same here. 3g as I type this, obviously not idle... Been seeing it more lately but not all the time

Data verry slow after flashing any p500 rom

I have the T-Mobile optimus t running void#forever. No matter where I am, when I use data my 3g icon goes from 3g to H and is very slow. This doesn't happen on any rom made for the optimus t (or p509). This is the best rom I have found and don't want to change it, please help.

h = hsdpa
hsdpa is faster than 3g
Then why is it slower than 3g.

I fixed it, but totally forgot about this post. I had to go into the testing menu and change my bands to USA (or automatic). Then I had the speed I was meant to have.

3G signal on x10i

Right I got me a bit of an issue.
Dunno if it's been covered by someone already, but there's only so much the search bar can do from my phone.
I am using X10i I am on O2-uk
Even when I am sat next to someone that has full 3G signal, I am totally unable to get anything.
I've had this phone for just a year now an idea have never had a 3G signal. The best I can do is get H
The status bar claims to have 3G bit as soon as I try an use the connection, for ANY reason, it instantly switches back over to H
So basically my issue is........ WTF!?!?
Why not ant I connect to through 3G? And does anyone else have this problem? Is there fix for it? An app or something I'm missing?

The infamous "H" ...
From what I understand H is better than 3G...in fact its 3.5G! Increased download speeds when compared to regular 3G..
"H"is a good thing..
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Really? If that's the case then I should have seen 3G at some point in the last year when I had worse signal???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Nope. Afaik 3g depends on availability in your area. Not related to signal strength.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Yeah mate the h is for hsdpa which is, as said above, better than 3g.
Edit: if phone can't get hsdpa it will go for 3g. If it can't get 3g it will search for edge (will just have an e). If it can't get e then u need to stop living on mars as u ain't got no mobile internet.

You can't really complain some people have issues even getting 2g while your having 3.5g
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Ok
Thanks guys. I was under the impression 3G was better than H
Cheers for clearing that up

3g connection?

I am not sure I have an issue or not in all honesty. I have flashed to the new baseband on my lg optimus t. I am using hephappys ics 9.1.4 but I never get a 3g icon. My connect speeds on mobile network show a h symbol and are about 2Meg down by 126 k upload. I am not really sure what I should see for a 3g connection.

Google and read more about 3G and H.
H stands for HSDPA.. means 3.5G basically faster than 3G.
Good to know. My stock rom must have just shown 3g instead.
I am surprised that updating the baseband has improved the signal as much as it did. I went from 2bars to 4 bars.
It's also nice to not have to flash a rom then flash the baseband fix.
