Is the 4g symbol 4g lte, or is it hspa. Does the phone even support 4g lte and will the symbol say "4g lte" when it connects to it. I live in Portland Oregon and am using a HTC one m7 on t-mobile.

It's both. You'll want to download the SpeedTest app from the Play Store and see what your speeds are. If you are 15Mbps or below, then you're on HSPA+. Faster than 15 and you're on LTE. Although I don't think Portland has LTE just yet.
I only have HSPA+ in my neighborhood and it displays 4G.

That's not entirely correct. 4G is displayed for HSPA+ only whereas it will say 4G LTE when you're on LTE. I'm uploading a picture of how it looks when on the two.

Very helpful, thanks. It's weird a big city like Oregon is lacking 4g lte. I had it with Verizon in Portland, but t mobile has the cool phones....guess I can't have my cake, and eat it too.

Does the SGS2 have 4g support like the Atrix? Hard to imagine a phone with these goodies doesn't have 4g.
No it doesn't.

No but does have 3.5G (H)

Yes it does, it has 21 Mbps HSPA. Call that 4g if you want, that's the fake 4g att is claiming.

One Good thing i have noticed : it shows G when idle and H+ signal when ever I am using data.
Atrix is only 14mb/s where as this is 21mb/s so its theoreticaly faster

4G right now is nothing but a carrier marketing gimmick, but yes our SGS II's have support for AT&T's (formerly known as 3G until T-Mobile made it cool to call it) 4G network. I wish it was LTE capable, but I suppose that's what the SGS III will be for eh?
Am thinking of changing from cdma to gsm. Currently on the sprint network and their 3G has went to ........ I used to get 2mb downloads to around 250kb. What good is unlimited data if its dog slow. Is GSM 3G any better?

technically, the speed doesn't depend on network type, it should be the same on both GSM and CDMA. It depends on your cell provider limits.
Ok. Well people with GSM network providers .. what are your 3G speeds?

It would be more helpful if you gave a general location of interest... Service is not the same everywhere

im on tmobile USA. in MA, i hit around 4.8mb and in NY, its 7.6mb down.
"3G" gsm AT&T or T-Mobile is WCDMA (HSPA+ capable of up to 21mbps theroetical) Verizon and Sprint "3G" is EVDO (Theroretical up to 3mbps) you have to look at the phones radio capabilities and the network. Technically the 3G tech that GSM uses is faster than the 3G tech CDMA uses.
The phones... UGH... It depends on the service you have, your location, and how far you are from the tower... The phone dosent... Just.. Stupid ass question... Really just.. You're stupid end of story.

Guy was just asking a question grinch don't have to be a dink. If you don't got something nice to say, than don't say nothing.
I'm in Winnipeg. Mb and with hspa+ I get between 2.2 & 3 mbps down depending on time of day.

So if I get the new and shiny Evo 4G LTE in Chicago, does that mean that it will run on a pathetic 3G network by Sprint?
When is LTE coming to Chicago? Is there going to be a premium data fee for less than premium data speed?
Do you think AT&T's One X is a much better option? High speed 3G+ and a growing LTE network on AT&T seems very tempting.
Am I missing something with Sprint's Evo 4G LTE?
You're in one of the phase 1 cities so Sprint LTE will be a short wait for you.
Plus you get the SD card slot, Shutter button, Kickstand, HD Voice & unlimited data. You won't get that on the AT&T One X.
The One X on AT&T looks better, has global support & the 3G is faster.
It depends on what you prefer.

My speeds are pretty much not even LTE. In fact I was getting just as good speeds with my non-LTE Atrix 4g. From my bedroom I get about 1mbps and the upload...well if it registers at all I get 300kbps. Admittedly I get terrible terrible reception here even on my old phone. At my grandmas house where I get 3-4 bars I got up to 8mbps per second on one or two tests but often it was around 3mbps. The upload there never got above 600-700kbps. I live in Orange County, CA so maybe there are so many users that that's just as fast as we get...or maybe it's this phone. I dunno yet. Gonna try it at work(Disneyland) tomorrow and see how it works.
I attached a txt file with my tests...on most of them it says HSDPA, dunno what that even means.
Sounds like you do not have LTE in your area yet. The signal icon on your status bar will say 4G LTE if you have it.

But we do have LTE, it says on the coverage tracker that we do and my dad has the HTC One X and he gets LTE. Now that you mention it though it says 4G at the bar at the top of the screen and not LTE. Is it supposed to say LTE?
Yes it does say it right under the 4G. Go back and look at some of the screen shots. If you are both on At&t you should go to the store because you should have it also.

I don't know the AT&T network but on Rogers, Bell & Telus in Canada you need to specify an LTE APN. The HSPA/+ APN you have configured by default with your SIM probably won't support or recognize LTE service speeds, and even my 'LTE network' microSIM didn't import this automatically, I had to manually input the APN.
33/1.9 I wonder what's up with my upload speed.
Here is my test from Little Rock AR

Hey guys, I just ported over my number and switched over from Verizon to the One on T-Mobile. As I'm typing this, I'm still on my Verizon Galaxy S4 since I currently only have a temporary T-Mobile number until the switch is complete.
Anyhow, I don't believe I have LTE right now. My coworker has the One and was pulling down almost 30mbps and I can't even hit 2mbps. Play Store downloads are slow, etc.
I live in San Diego which has LTE. I have attached a couple screen shots of what I'm seeing. Am I connected to LTE? Could it be that I won't get it until my switch is complete? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I work for T-Mobile and also have the One and no your not on LTE. You are on hspa+. Kind of like 4g lite. When you are in a 4g LTE area, you will a tiny 4g then below it the letters LTE. Hope that helps. Update to the newest software update to get better signal out of the One
