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?

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...

Still looking to change the 4G icon that att uses to an STOCK 4G icon or H+ icon like on the International one. I just HATE that 4G icon. The ONLY solution that has worked is to rename the _att ones, BUT it doesnt act right as 3 images are the exact same cause the AT&T 4G icon is 3 different images.
Can anyone help me?
I just flashed the leedroid rom. Before this on mobile data my status bar indicator for data would switch between 4g/3g/h. now its only between 3g/h. Does anyone know the original rogers APN settings which came stock on the phone? And I know the evo 3d is not a 4g phone im just assuming that 4g designation is similar to lte or something. Which means faster browsing for all.
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
Is there any way to force LTE only mode. I know it mostly depend on my carrier but I live in a fringe area where my phone keeps switching between modes. I used to be able to use *#*#4636#*#* but that does not seem to work anymore.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I already had a thread with the same question one the day I bought this phone .
Anyhow , if u have better 4g signal reception in your area .just drag down notification bar , drag the toggles up and u will find some more toggles there .
At the bottom u will see 4g and click on it .
Now your mobile will be on 4g till u leave your area
Thanks a lot for your reply, that's my problem that I live in an area with poor 4g coverage and my phone keeps going from 4g to 2g as my carrier does not have 3g.
You cannot keep your phone in 4g network only . (I know u want to Force LTE only ) ,if so u won't be able to receive msgs and calls on that particular sim.
Soo everyone recommends 3g/4g as a mode for network selection.
And LTE only can't be forced on honor 5x
