Hi guys,
Just got my device yesterday, and am having trouble getting past gprs speeds.
The APN settings are ok.
I just don't know what else to do.
The dna supports my 3g frequencies, and I am getting good speeds with other devices.
Please advise.
Tks.
D.
Did you tell Verizon, maybe exchange the phone....

Quick edit - It's OK now. Somewhat..
When I got to work this morning, the H/3g symbol was showing. Turns out I was in a bad reception area, probably.
However, why wont the symbol show H+ (HSDPA speeds) ?
Tks for the reply.

Ever since I've transferred to AT&T I've had laggy data issues. I finally rooted/flashed to AOKP, and while trying to address the issues of no APNs appearing or saving and no signal status in the status bar, I've come to find both AT&T and T-Mobile as Available Networks under some network setting. Am I chasing ghosts here, or is there something actually up?
EDIT: So I really need help troubleshooting the issue. I'll logcat, dump, or whatever necessary. I've been in many cities/areas and this problem persists: if I haven't used data or the phone hasn't been backgrounding traffic, it'll take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds before a connection is made when I try to access an internet-related function on my phone (even though 3G/H is displayed in the status bar). Out of shear frustration (this has been happening since I got the phone, under stock ROMs and now under AOKP), I tried messing with *#*#info#*#*. I changed WCDMA-preferred to WCDMA-only -- no improvement. Oddly, I also tried GSM-only. Well, great improvement! Even though I only have E, there is absolutely no latency in waiting for a connection -- so pages and other data end up loading faster on Edge than 3G !
I have absolutely no idea why my phone takes forever to make a connection. Under 3G, I see only but a few upstream network activity blips (even under full bars) for as much as 30 seconds, before there is any downstream activity (and when it comes, it comes). Can anyone help???
P.S.: I'm going to try using a friend's SIM later for comparison.

Because they both share the 1900MHz band I believe.

I'd like to know if it shows up for anyone else?

On AOKP it does for me too. Just ignore it.

An aside: does your phone stay on 3G and switch to H only under moderate network traffic?

The phone displays 3G because thats what it is... then when data is being processed, it shows H because its using the "what AT&T calls 4G but its really HSPA" side of the network. For just standby time with no data, its going to show 3G because HSDPA is traffic, not standby.

Well that's strange. I'm used to phones displaying what network-level they are capable of. So why would it not just display H for HSPA+ when HSPA+ service is available, instead of only displaying under traffic.
I'm going to go ahead an edit this thread to help troubleshoot what I think to be the main issue.
After some trials I see that the network indicator switches back and forth between 3G and H a few tines before making the connection and transmitting data. Hmmm...
Basically, "4G" will eat your battery alive so the phone idles at 3G and jumps to H+ only when you use data. If you were on a "stock" ATT rom it would always read H+, but this is technically false since when its idle the phone sits in 3G. CM9 and AOKP accurately display it which is why you see the switch.

I have a HTC Amaze for a phone and the Galaxy S2 is my media player. Sometimes, when I don't feel like carrying around two devices, I put my T-Mobile SIM in the galaxy and use it as my phone. I must say, Edge is not as slow as I remember it being. Maybe speed is contingent on network traffic. If thats the case, instead of using crowded "faux G" networks, I may defer to Edge to save battery life and get good dl/ul rates.
My phone does the same thing. I noticed it sometime ago. When idle 3g. Internet I get H+. This is with both Shostock2 and Phone Bricker. I was curious to know too but just blew it off because it really doesnt make any difference to me as long as Im getting decent speeds. Im not even with ATT anymore. Went with Straight Talk. Which uses ATT towers. Cant beat the price!!
They don't have the correct apns, but that symbol problem is because the phone doesn't use hspa+ passively, only actively. It causes some lag when downloading, but it is faster fit large data. But your problem is due to a supposed imei range with bad modems. Rehash stick, fix the triangle, and return it.

hi guys, the idea behind me getting a 4G was that id hope id get a decent data signal out in the countryside where i work..
i had a samsung galaxy ace for a few weeks which only just uploaded facebook pice, either with a H sign and two arrows or a G sign,
when i used to work in town and i had a HTC the internet was fine im presuming i was running on 3G.
What are all these ? the H ? the G ?
and is the 4G signal even available in the uk yet ? or is it just my area is a bit slow on catching up with 4G ?
ive tried all these 3g/network boosters but to no avail.
it would be nice to be able to listen to on line radio and upload pics at a fairly reasonable rate.
ideally for work tomorrow,
has anyone got a program that will work and boost my signal at all ?
thanks
If you don't have good signal, you don't have good signal. The only way to improve it is, get closer to the tower.
Buying a 4g phone has zero impact on 3g reception.
sudo passwd root
I know you can change the 4G icon to H, so I think H means 4G and G means 3g. Just a guess though.

Hi everyone, I'm new to AT&T and HTC. I'm confused on how the networks should switch.
The area I'm in doesn't have LTE yet so lets leave this out of this
I'm having a signal issue at work. Where I sit I get 3 sometimes 2 bars (-97 to -101dBM) on the 4G network. But data doesnt work. When I use the browser it say error connecting to network and I when I run speed test it either doesnt find a tower or just sits on ping test.
When I look at mobile network type it keeps flipping between HSDPA and HSPAP. I've never see the phone change to the edge or G network unless my battery is almost dead.
Does this sound right or could I have a messed up radio? It does work great when the signal is in the -70s.
Please help. Wondering if my phone is messed up. It is still stock, locked bootloader, unrooted at the moment.

Have you done simple troubleshooting like turn phone on airplane mode, or factory reset?

Yes I did. Still getting same results. Thanks fir the suggestion.

To turn off LTE, open dialer, type in "*#*#4636#*#*", then click "phone info", you will see "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" in the middle of the setting page. Switch to "WCDMA preferred" to use only 3G without LTE. You can also choose "GSM" to use only edge network.
Is there not an App or Widget that can toggle LTE and Edge networks?
Hi. I just got the Z2 last week and I need some help with my LTE set up.
1. I am using my nano Sim from my HTC One M8.
2. I downloaded the att file for internet settings
3. Network Mode - LTE (Preferred)
3. The icon reads LTE
Looks like everything is working, but when I run a speed test I get terrible results. Like 0.5 mbps bad.
I have tested in various locations,but always get bad results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

LTE isn't all it's cracked up to be .. I got an LTE sim to try recently in a large city. It turned out that H+ was actually faster , LTE was 1-2Mb, H+ was 7-8Mb , however in a less populated area I got LTE upto 20Mb. It's still down to the network in the end.
Thanks for the reply defsix. I tested on h+ also. Same results at 0.5 Mbps.
I know it comes down to coverage, but LTE is good in my area. I tested my wife's iPhone and got about 5 mbps at the same time I got 0.5.
That's why I'm not sure if I don't have something set up right.
So if I am getting the LTE icon is it just bad luck?

I'm assuming you have the correct settings on your phone ? Network settings etc.
Did you call AT&T to register the IMEI of the phone to provision it?
I've heard from several folks on att that you have to call them to set it up.
Drop by an AT&T store to see if you can get a new SIM card. Yours maybe outdated such that the newer one which could have newer information to support other towers.
I'm actually to change my SIM card up because one area I usually go to is a bit weak and they did look at my SIM card info and told me mine was an older one and try getting a new one.
If you did all the updates on the phone it shouldn't even show LTE but 4G instead. From my understanding one of the updates broke the LTE symbol so it doesnt show anymore. Mine never says it and I live in an LTE Att area.
hey folks, well i use my phone presently with metropcs - my signal shows an "H" which today the metropcs guy told me indicated slower speeds, not even 4g. i didn't expect to get lte, but i'd think i could at least get 4g. my apn settings are correct according to the aforementioned fellow - anyone have any thoughts/advice?
thanks
Afaik, this phone is not 4g. Hspa+ is the max speed you can get

hey thanks for the reply - so the "H" is normal then? i guess everyone else sees it as well then
sorry don't know too much about this stuff

H is normal on pre 4G/LTE devices and in areas where there is no 4G/LTE coverage. There are mods that can change that to show a 4G or LTE, but you won't get those speeds. We have HSPA (or something like that) on our device.
Thanks for the reply Palmbeach05, been over to Fort Walton from Mobile a few times in my day
Just read up a bit on hspa, seems plenty fast - must be the poor signal in my area I guess.
Thanks for the thoughts gents
One thing. The ics leak rom has a 4g icon replacing H and H+
That might get confusing as hell
H+ should give you around 14mbps. More than enough for mobile access...

one other question - for any of you using t-mobile or metropcs, can you tell me what kinda speeds you're getting? thanks
