Hey quick question why can't i get HSPA + in a area i know has it? I get UMTS with 1.5mb down. That's pathetic. I am on cognition 4 with entropy kernel.
It shows a h+ icon but settings say UMTS
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Umts max out around 300kbps.
So, you are already at HSDPA speed.
Whether or not you see higher speed depends on a lot of factors that are out of your control.

So the setting menu that says UMTS is on crack ?

So i wanted to know if the "H" means more than the icon of 3G that sometimes appears up ^^^
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes it does. The H+ icon u see indicates that you are g getting connected @ hspa+ speeds which are higher than plain 3g speeds.

Your connected to hsdpa, not hsdpa+. The regular vibrant cannot receive hsdpa+. Hsdpa is faster then 3g, but still slower then hsdpa+.

This is basically correct. The issue is 2 things:
1- having the icon that recognizes the Hsdpa connection and
2- The tower/tower software updated to send send the signal.
This is why in some areas you do not get the H but just 3G and E but as they update all towers this will be everywhere

ooh i know..i just didnt think when he said HSDPA+
Will I gain battery by disabling 4G on my phone? I'm in a 3G only area, and I'm not sure if its constantly polling for LTE. I'm using the logic of phones smoking a battery in a spotty coverage area. Thoughts?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
So far I think there have only been positive reports for battery life for people who only have 3G coverage.
Some people on the 4G fringe needed to be able to turn 4G off because their phones were trying to pull the 4G signal, destroying their battery life. I am in a 4G area and don't notice any difference forcing 3G.
How can I turn off 4G

I just rooted my phone with the cryogen mod but now I don't get 3g connection except rare occasions where it flickers. Is there a way to fix this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Do you mean Cyanogenmod 7?
u mean CM7 not CR7 right?
Odin back to stock fixes many probs i would try that first.
Lol cryogenic mod 7. It freezes up all the time!

Cm7 sorry for the miss spelling...I do get 3g sometimes but for a few seconds and drops to h

it's h because he's connected to an hspa (h) tower instead of a utms tower (3g). but he will not EVER get 4g speeds on the 3g vibrant.
So which is faster?

H is 3.5g, utms is 3g. If you can get h (which on CM7 is actual h and not just replacing the 3g .PNG files with an h .PNG), then you'll get faster speeds.
But do keep in mind, to get Tue hspa+, you need on of T-Mobile's new 4g phones because that new hardware supports the new theoretical speed limits.

Hey, I want to change my carrier because airtel 3G is expensive and 2G gives me only 50-60 kbps speed though 3G gives me about 2Mbps.. The bad thing that Airtel did after launching 3G was that 2G speeds were reduced from 250kbps to 50kbps. They did it just because they want people to use 3G , I want to know your experience, and please suggest me which carrier(2G) should I opt for to get at least 150kbps speed ?
I suggest you to buy a tata docomo
Activate 2g schemes and select 3g network
Then you will get more than 200kbps and 100 ping

I have T-Mobile pre paid in Virginia. The first 500 mg are 4g. Then it continues after the 500 to say 4g but when I checked an app it said "T-Mobile 2g". They really do **** us
