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.

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

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.

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

For those of you who are running Team Whiskey's Bionix V 1.3.1 rom, Is there a difference between 'H' and '3G' on the top bar? Does 'H' really mean we are getting 4g like speeds or is it just cosmetic? And what does 3g mean if 'H' is just cosmetic? I have been running this rom for the longest time and im as confused, about it, as the first day I flashed it.
H just means you are using the hspa network for 3g, instead of the old 3g towers

So the speeds would be the same in that case?
H is for data transfer.
G/3G is for voice calls.
Bionix or not, these are standard across all non-4g phones/networks.
You'll never see an H when talking to someone and you'll never see a G/3G when browsing.

Im pretty sure that's not right. I've seen both g and 3g while browsing before
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ya but once those up and down arrows light up it should flip to H bc of the data transfer.
No, I've been in areas where i just get 3g and i just get g, just like areas where i just get h or just get e

This is an old article but where it says
The phones are designed to automatically connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide the great call quality and rich communication services customers expect from T-Mobile.

tells me that the phones use whatever it's connected to for both voice and data. So adding in H for HSPA, then 3g would = UMTS, and obviously E = edge and G = Gprs. Or that's my understanding anyway.

This is correct.
HSPA is basically the 4g network used for data usage "H"
3g is a bit slower than H and is sometimes used for networking
2g or G is even slower than 3g or H, I think it was the first "G"
Then E or edge is usually used when you are out of cities and in the country. It's relatively slow too.
H is the fastest.
So to summarize
H > 3g > E > G

I can't get any internet when on g or 3g only when on h. I don't know what's going on. I'm on the latest update. Oh and I'm with Vodafone.
Thanksbkn advance, jay

That is normal when on GSM you only get Edge (E or G) when on WCDMA you get 3G HSDPA connection speeds depending on your contry and zone (ofcorse on the antenna in that area).
No, I'm on auto mode so it selects itself. Its just when the signal drops from a H signal to a 3G signal or a G signal and that's what is displayed on my phone then no internet can be accessed at all. The phone connection is still fine, just internet or anything that uses internet connection, won't load.
I hope that makes more sense
