Ok, im using a razr maxx in a gsm/umts network and the signal strength is poor...
In "gsm only" i got 4/5 signal bar... but in umts (3g) i only recived 2/5 signal bar
Well I guess 3G coverage is poor in your location...

I dont think so because other phones have a full signal.
Post what asu you're getting in Razr and also the other devices.

What does the "H" stand for up by the signal strength?
Hspa+ or hspa
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So like 4G?
no the H stands for helluva fast. not quite 4g but not 3g 3.2g or it could just be the icon used in some of the rom's to display 3g.
I get E, 3G, & H!
H is not for "ho'" ?? damn I ve been calling my phone that for a while.........
H== Hsdpa Which means 3G or 4G loosely translated. There is no real 4g speed I have seen on any phone here That would require a 11-14 mb constant download speed............ But Marketing like the sound of 4G..... our 4G speed they are marketing is really 3g..... so 5g will be 4g I guess .. and so it goes...
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.
hello seniors, please someone help my phone e120l network not connect to "H" only G/3G connected..how to fix this problem? im already updated to 4.1.2 jelly bean rooted+cwm recovery..
It depends on your area/city/carrier

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..

It's weird. I have an Atrix and a new GSII. At home my Atrix shows HSPA and my GSII shows HSDPA. Isn't HSPA "4G" and HSDPA 3G?

That's what I thought too, and I'm also showing HSDPA... hmmm... but the upload speeds are HSPA+ so it can't be right.
I thought both 3G and "4"G could be called HSPA. High Speed Packet Access.
Doesn't the D stand for download. I thought HSUPA (U for upload) was the feature that got all the publicity with the Atrix, as it wasn't activated at launch.
I am sitting on H+ according to my status but in about it says UMTS, which I thought was 3G. My HTC 8525 ran on UMTS 4 years ago.

I think in the about settings HSPA means HSPA+ while HSDPA means the slower standard. I think it is probably a bug. My Atrix could distinguish between HSPA and HSDPA in the about settings. In areas without 4G it would read UMTS or HSDPA while in advanced backhaul areas it would read HSPA. On The GSII it seems to be messed up. I never saw HSPA.

Mine is acting the same way my Infuse was. It never seems accurate. Obviously if you pass the 0.33mbps range your HSUPA is enabled. That's about all we really know for sure, hehe
Phone status display frequently is broken in the framework and not reporting correctly.
For example, the Infuse would report UMTS when in an HSPA+ mode...

I'd imagine the marketing\disguising one technology as another and not being forthcoming about where has "enhanced backhaul" nor defining what "enhanced backhaul" even is in terms of speed, likely doesn't help things either ;-)
hspa and hsdpa are both 3.5G at best

Dial *#0011# on your phone. The screen will show what exactly is your phone using. So far, I have yet seen 'HSPA+ used' display anything other than 0.
Does the Lumia 800 show a H for HSDPA and H+ for HSDPA+ connections? Mine only ever shows 3G.
I have the H on my screen now. Don't think I've ever seen a plus sign though.
In settings under "Highest connection speed" does it have the option for HSDPA? Mine has Edge or 3G thats it.

Same here, but i swear I've seen a 'H' up there before... hmmm
I have only 3G and E in settings and i have never seen H icon in signal bar or in settings.
HSDPA actually is 3G. HSDPA is just a little bit faster than the actual 3G, and is often referred as 3,5G. It's normal you cannot choose HSDPA in your settings, because it uses the same band(s) as 3G does, and the phone will of course prefer HSDPA over 3G if available.
So why doesn't it show H when I am downloading with obvious HSDPA speeds? If I speed test my Lumia and my Nexus the Nexus is WAY faster.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
If it doesn't show H, and your Nexus is way faster, then clearly it's only on 3G.
But why?
This phone supports HSDPA and I am within a coverage area (as shown by the Nexus speeds) so why does it not connect as such?
I'm on the german O2 Network with an unbranded Lumia 800 and I notivec everything: G, E, 3G and H. Everything is shown when I'm in a covered area.

Are you using the same network across both phones??
Yes I take the sim out of one and put it in the other. Same everything other than the phone.

Have you looked at your APN settings? You might need to configure those according to your carrier/network...
Hi, a quick question guys, I'm using Tmobile uk network and I was wondering why if I use WCDMA preferred/GSM in the network settings I only get a low signal strength of about 2 bars at most but if I switch to only GSM I then get a full signal ?
My phone is unlocked/sim free and I'm running the SG .73 firmware at the moment.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
When the signal is half the strength of a full 3G signal it may still be a full signal strength for a GSM signal, since this doesn't have such a high speed.
you can see this when traveling in the train for example; the signal jumps from 1 or 0 bars 3G to 3 or 4 bars GSM/EDGE.
Cool, I see that but I take it that WCDMA is on a different signal band than GSM?
Also why does having WCDMA preferred/GSM use more battery than selecting just one of these?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Because the phone needs to scan if there is another network available.
When set to only use one band it doesn't bother scanning for another one.
Ah cheers confirmed my thoughts
