GT-I9100 will NEVER get better than an Edge connection (shown as an "E" by your signal indicator) on T-Mobile USA's network, because it doesn't have the hardware to receive the right frequencies to do so. To get 3g or faster speeds (shown as "3G", "H", or "H+" by your signal indicator) in the US, you will need to be on AT&T's network, or another carrier that uses the same frequencies.

Hi
I have the Galaxy S2, when I turn on the use packet data and data roaming in the mobile network settings, an icon H+ starts flashing on the top of the display with two little arrows.
1. What does it mean? Is the phone downloading data from the cellular network?
2. What is: packet data and data roaming? What's the difference between the two?
Many Thanks.
Hi,
The icon itself means that you are connected to the data network of your cellular provider.
The icon can look like one of the following:
G - 2nd (or 2.5) generation connection
3G - 3rd generation coonection
H - 3.5 generation connection
H+ - 4th generation connection. This does not mean your provider actually support 4th generation data rates.
When the little arrows are gray - No data is being sent/received. When they are colored it means your phone is sending/receiving data.
Roaming means that you are connected to a "foreign" cellular provider (not the one you are paying to).
Data roaming means that you allow your phone to use data connection when you are roaming.
Using data connection while roaming is extremely expensive and it is highly recommended not to do so.
Hope I got it all covered for you
Data conection
Thank you for clearing this for me.

well I did my digging and got some more accurate figures in addition to the above
G is GPRS 86kbps
E is EDGE 236kbps
3G is UMTS 386kbps
H is HSDPA 3.2Mbps
H+ is HSPA 7.2Mbps
H+ is too for HSPA+ for 14.4Mbps or 21.1Mbps
(noteH and H+ are the so called 3.5G
and the new comer:
4G ( LTE technology) is 100-300 Mbps ( the iphone5 is said to be on 100Mbps)
some phones don't show H or H+ , they just show 3G for UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA, HSPA+
only G or E means it's on 2G, - that is you are not in 3G coverage
PS on my Vodafone, using speedtest.net app i get on H+ 7.12 Mbps... ( aka 0.89 MB/s)
Period

Is there a different icon for DC-HSDPA, or is it 'lumped' into H+?
The standard should theoretically allow up to 84Mbps with MIMO, but my phone only supports up to 42Mbps.
KPN in NL has it rolled out, but I've never been able to confirm if I'm on DC-HSDPA. Using Network Signal Info android app, the fastest I've connected is HSPA+ at 21.6Mbps.

Did you connect with stock installed firmware to H or not?
Before this im using rooted rom from Vietnam dev.. Its enabled H on my status bar.. But after a month using thus phone there is no H available.. After that i reflash stock rom then 3G came out from status bar.. No H anymore.. Download speed also decreased via 3G..

I have a Bell branded and rooted Galaxy S2. I noticed that the phone will not switch away from H+ even when it has no bars. I have tried turning off HSDPA completely by using the *#301279# - Change HSPA revision method to no avail (it actually doesn't seem to do anything at all, the phone still shows H+). I thought that I might be able to get the phone to switch by setting it to only connect through GSM in the Network Settings, when I did this, the phone got 5 bars of connection but it would not make any calls and said I had an "Unrecognized SIM" and would only allow Emergency Calls. My question is this:
TLDR: is there any way to fix this issue and get my phone to switch to 3G or EDGE when a strong H+ connection is not available?
Are you using a Bell SIM card? Bell doesn't have a GSM or EDGE network so it is probably connecting to the Rogers network. My Bell service has roamed on that network, but only when a Bell signal isn't available. If you're in an area where Bell has service, it probably won't let you roam, giving you the unrecognized SIM message.
does anybody got a new hack for airtel network ???
what hack???
I'm guessing he wants to enable a normal 2G internet plan on his network for cheap, but use it in 3G by switching to 3G mode. As far as I know, with Airtel the only time I've seen this work is with my friend's AT&T Galaxy S2 unlocked from the US. It's a 4G phone and it doesn't have the usual 'GSM only', 'WCDMA only', 'GSM/WCDMA auto' modes under network settings. So when he recharged for a 2G pack, the phone connected to Airtel's 3G network and displayed a 'H+' symbol in his status bar. He gets 3G speeds quite a few times but sometimes it becomes as slow as 2G. I haven't seen this work on a normal phone bought in India.
I used to get 3g speeds on 2g internet pack from airtel.I always keep the network mode to wcdma.
But sometimes i also get very low 2g speeds.
All this on my old samsung galaxy s

I want to Enable H+ but i don't now how.
Is it only available in selected providers, Countries or everywhere? Or just in Big Cities ?

If you enabled WDCMA in network options, phone will automatically use H+ when carrier and current station supports it.
I recently have two Galaxy S III phones with two providers T-Mobile and Vodafone. With Vadofone i have H+ but my T-Mobile only gives 3g. It depends what your provider gives you.

I will test it with Vodafone. Thanks
Yeah it depends on your service provider I for one can only use 3g and HSDPA because that's what they give me here. HSDPA is fast anyway its not like I'm complaining

Hello guys,
Am in Nigeria, Africa using MTN carrier
but my galaxy mega 5.8 duos never connects to 3G or HSDPA service, its always on EDGE and whenever I turn network to WCDMA only, the network goes completely off and sees no reception, when I check other devices like my blackberry or SG note 2, i get the 3G network.
Please what could be wrong, have read all through forums but didn't seem to find a good answer or solution.
Also whenever I tried to access the service mode through *#32489# it doesn't work
Will be awaiting your responses
Gracias
