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.

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

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

Guys,
I am about to received my SGS 2 tomorrow.
I am in Australia on a 850mhz 3g (read not GSM) network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G)
I know the phone supports this band, but I see some region firmwares floating around and am wondering if ALL firmwares support this band? Or is firmware specific.
Thanks guys.
Im on VR1.1 with everything else stock and next g is cool with me. Preordered from UK so mines from release.

Can I ask how you know your on Next G and not just 3g?
You can use non 850mhz Bands with Telstra and get std 3g.
Well im just assuming. But where i live all my family get 1bar with optus/3/voda whereas i get full bars. If u have a way for me to check ill have a look

not really sure how to check, the best I could figure out is install Network Info II and check network type
Should be HSDPA/UMTS?
I cant seem to find any tool to tell you exact frequency the phone is using.
It is not firmware dependent (If someone buys a Vodaphone branded SGS2 it is still going to work with NextG, but it will probably just be SIM locked). NextG is HSPA noted by the 'H+' symbol. When I was on Three is was just 'H' which is HSPDA.
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go phone information -> menu key -> Select Radio Band -> AUS2 Band
AUS2 is NextG 850Mhz, so if you get internet access on that, it is running NextG. The Phone Information section will also tell you your current network protocol also. If it is reporting UMTS then click the 'run ping test' button, it will flick over to HSPA
Hspa when data is being used
Umts when data is inactive

Yes it shows as H+

Also just rum some speed tests and you'll know if you're on 3g or HSDPA.

thanks guys.
Once it has charged I will put SIM in and test all this, very excited as moving from my HTC Desire
Sorry to dig this post up from the grave, but I'm about to move my SGSii to Telstra, as well.
I was wondering if you found benefit to these changes, and if you've changed anything further since.
Have you found any particular ROM/modem to be better (either in reception or battery life) than others.
And, finally, what sort of battery life do you get? I get about 14 hours before I have to plug it in, but I get terrible reception at work (I'm currently on 3), so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.
Thanks heaps.
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

Hello just wondering if anyone knows why every modem except LPJ stays on H all the time instead of switching back to 3g when data has finished sending. Even my carriers official modem does this.
I have a gti9100T which likes to run on 850mhz freq. My old sgs1 which didn't have this band used to stay on H all the time. However it makes no sense that only LPJ will behave properly while official T modem won't.
All bands are operational and fast dirmabcy doesn't help.

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.
