Thought you'd all like to know as I was going thru the SystemUI.apk file, I found a statusbar icon "4G LTE+".
It's the Verizon 4G LTE styled icon, so it's definitely Verizon.
My guess this will light up when Verizon goes to Voice over LTE - there is several items throughout the system listing voice over LTE enablement, so the phone supports it.
I attached it too incase you wonder what it looks like (it's white, but so you can see it I recolored it black).
Any thoughts?

Think it's for the new AWS network maybe?
No, it's not for the AWS band. Several people on another forum, Howard Forums, have Band 4 AWS and the icon remains the same.

True, but Verizon's 4G LTE icons are specifically styled for them only - If I could see the source code of the phone I could tell you for sure.
BTW, could you throw me a link to that AWS thread? Thanks!

I was wondering if there was something I could download, or something from the market that i could download that would make my phone say H instead of 3G? My vibrant is not rooted.
I'm wondering why... but there won't be an app to do that. The G E and 3G icons are held in drawables. So unless you make your own update.zip with replaces drawables, I don't that's going to happen.

Why do you want it to display that? The H is generally displayed when you're using HSPA/HSPA+. If you're connected t 3G it will say 3G. If you're connected to Edge, you'll get an E and if you're on the barebones cell network all you get is the number of bars you have.

I think he wants his phone to be like nexus one is, or other android phones are running custom roms, specifically cyanogen mod. With cm, it will jump from 3g to h icon quite often when data is used, does it to me in my area. I get hspa speeds here, but 3g is the only icon displayed. I like it this way more, the constant jump from 3g to hspa in notifications pane is annoying. Maybe he just wants people to see that his phone is on hspa and not 3g, because the icon doesn't change to that on stock rom.
I remember the first time my g1 said h... Had to call a buddy with a g1 and had to find an i*hone to make jealous...

Not true. I have a stock rom on my Vibrant and it does toggle between 3g and hybrid. It just depends on whether or not you have the new radios broadcasting in your area. Some markets have a lot of hybrid running, while many others have little to none. One of my best friends is an RF tech for T-Mo.

No ****, Einstein! It stands for HSDPA, but ask any switch tech and he will tell you its hybrid. Right now in many markets, it is a true hybrid mix of HSDPA and 3g and not explicitly one or the other. Do some research before you criticize someone, retard!

I downloaded the user manual to the vibrant (not the one that comes in the box) and it definitely says that there is a 'H' icon. I wonder why they don't have it displayed when actually connected to a HSDPA+ connection?
This is the text next to the 'H' Icons:
Displays when the 3G+ network connection is active.
Displays when your phone is communicating with the
3G+ network.
What does it mean when there's just a G?
3G means 3G

Thanks for the help my man. Being that T-Mobile is just now rolling out LTE in my area, I'd kinda sorta like to know what areas in Houston I go to that have LTE.

Sorry buddy, but the rom doesn't have anything to do with your speed. That is determined by traffic at the tower (number of users connected to it), the modem you have (the baseband), APN settings, and the weather. ROM has nothing to do with it and icons have nothing to do with it.
You get the best speed your modem can give you under the conditions I named, whether the corresponding icon is in the phone framework or not. Sorry you didn't like my answer. Go have some bacon -- it won't change anything, but it is delicious.

I have two different Roms. Flashed them both and did speed test on both. About a good 10 times each. Standing in the same spot. The Rom I'm on right now consistently gave me higher DL & UL speeds. I didn't change anything. No APN's and modems. I wouldn't think it would make a difference, but I really really really would like the Icons to show when I'm picking up the LTE signal. I just feel better knowing what I'm getting and where i'm getting it. It's cause it's still new here in Houston. While bacon is delicious and there's never really a bad time for it, it won't help me with my current question. Though it will supply me with the necessary energy to keep pushing on in my quest to add 4G LTE Icons to the rom I'm using.
Well my bacon loving friend, many ROMs we have are ported from phones without LTE modems so they don't have the icon and probably can't be added. The only place I know you can check to know for sure is the settings>about phone>status>network type. Maybe in the market there is a signal strength app. I will look and see.

Ahhh ok. That answers it then. I'm on IMM76D.DXLJ2-h0tw1r3 and I've seen H+ before. when i was doing the speed tests, the icon was just 4G. I only knew it was LTE because the speed test said so. I can't look down and see if I'm on regular 4G or LTE though.
The ROM base is from Singapore for their version of the note, the N7005. They don't have LTE yet so there is no LTE icon. But they do have t-mobile there and they use H+ icon for their high speed data network type.
First time posting on here so please don't tear me a new ass if I'm doing something wrong lol.
I just got a Galaxy Note I (SGH-I717) on AT&T.
Initially I was having problems with reception and 4G and not getting LTE at all. I finally got LTE working my setting up the PTA APN and by dialing *#2263# and selecting a different preferred band (I chose "LTE ALL" in the LTE sub-menu and saved it). I put the SIM back in, powered the phone back up and LTE was working. However my signal bars haven't gone past one bar while on LTE. I get data, and can even send and receive MMS/SMS, but cannot send/receive calls.
Someone please tell me if I did something wrong or am leaving out any vital info.

Perhaps the radio should be updated. The latest official ATT radio is UCMD3.
Check if you have it under settings/about/phone status/baseband. It works on all builds but is the newest radio which improves signal sometimes.

Those appear to be as follows in the link I posted. The only difference i saw was BEARER: LTE (default is unspecified) play with this one.. that was different in the post.
Other then that, I know ATT and Tmobile only use LTE Band 4 in the USA anyways.
So LTE ALL under the service menu wouldnt help. Was your coverage always that bad?
Please someone with ATT help this poor soul out. I'm at wits end. Usually this would be something to bug your service provider about. Myabe they can refresh something on your account, or give you a newer SIM card at your local store.

Yes, unfortunately service has always been this bad. I have called AT&T several times/been to the AT&T store and talked to a representative and they have done the following:
- Checked/rechecked my IMEI number (it always matches)
- Checked and rechecked my SIM number (before AND after I received a new SIM card
- Unregistered/Re-registered my phone with the towers
- Called a tech out to the tower to make sure nothing is going on the them (I know its not, my buddies all have LTE running fine on their devices)
Thank you so much, scariola. You've been a helped all you can.
RESOLVED
I believe I have fixed the problem.
I dialed *#2263# to get to the Band Selection screen. I already had selected "LTE ALL" under the LTE Preference menu. I unselected it, chose Back and then End (both under the softkey menu). I then re-dialed *#2263# to get back into the Band Selection menu except this time I selected "Automatic" and chose End in the softkey menu. Re-inserted SIM, and rebooted.
No I get signal 3-5 bars, 4G and 4G LTE where strong signal is available.
I thought LTE was only data and could not be used for calls.

Right. The data is the 3g/4g connection and the symbol next to the bars is the data speed. The bars is the strength of the gsm/phone signal.
It actually sounds like the OP was involved in a tower maintenance scenario and probably didn't matter what he did.
You can do the same settings changing from the mobile data settings menu.
You can't do the same settings from the mobile data settings menu. There you can only mess with data bands. You can turn LTE off or on on my Canadian ROM but you can't use it as the only band. And I didn't think you could even change this on ATT ROMs/radios at all. I believe he used LTE as the one and only bands for phone and data which caused his issue. I have achieved this same result by messing with those band setting found by *#2263#.
However the ability to send/receive texts but no calls does not make sense. That could have been tower issues since they both use the same phone band.

Er, what?
Is that a JB thing because I know it wasn't present on the ATT ICS ROM. Also where is the LTE setting??
The default is "fastest available". If you choose the high speed setting, it will connect to whatever is best.
I assumed JB stock because the OP said he just got the phone.

It's on the canadian version of JB in the settings/mobile network. Missing from att JB though.
You can however force LTE only through the service menu. Att and tmobile use band 4. Not sure about anyone else.
You must dial *#2263# into dialer and select LTE and choose the band your provider supports. That will force LTE only. Dial the same thing into dialer and select automatic* to go back to jumping through LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I understand it is on the Canadian version as I am using it. The Canadian version also includes LTE. I know how this all works. I have a Rogers note. But my question was to ranger on where he pulled that screenshot from. I always had an LTE option both on ICS and JB. And it was my understanding that ATT left this feature out on all versions and their modem was locked.

You can't force LTE if its not available. Its best to leave it at auto and let the modem do Its job of connecting to the best signal.

It may have been, but soon after I *thought* I had fixed the problem, the same issue restarted. I believe it was an issue with the phone hardware itself, maybe the antenna. I don't know. I sold the phone and got an S3.
No problems with the S3 :good:
I used to have that problem until i changed the MNC to 260
I currently have a D801 Claro PR variant (same as wind mobile, and for the most part, the Canadian D803's). Thing is, I usually swap roms around on a weekly basis, always using Wootever's now discontinued kernel (as kernels for this device are somewhat limited). My only complaint with all the roms I flashed is that I never got the LTE icon, even when on LTE (I got the 4G icon). I even tried editing the build prop. But alas, the 4G icon was always, apparently decided to stay. Well, yesterday I decided to try Furnace kernel, as it supported my device, and I wanted to try something new. To my surprise, the 4GLTE icon popped up (as well as all the corresponding icons for my device)! I re flashed Wootever's kernel back just to make sure it wasn't luck, and lo and behold, the evil 4G was there, rearing his ugly face, and the LTE icon nowhere to be found.
I really don't know if one thing has to do with another, but I decided to post my findings, as I know that there are many like me that are stuck with the 4G icon while on LTE, and this could prove to be useful to them.

My Sprint variant did this when I mucked with the bands trying to get Spark in Atlanta. When I enabled all three bands (forgot how...search) the the icons changed. I hated it because the alternate icon took up too much space.
And no, I never saw a speed difference. Matter of fact, enabling the bands had some type of negative effect, but I can not remember what it was. I never saw the new fangled Spark icon, which I guess will be enabled after the much ballyhooed update hits.
So like allot of people in here, I sold off my AT&T S5 and scooped up a T-MO S5 for the obvious reasons. What i've noticed is that i get insanely awesome reception everywhere i go with this t-mo phone. At work i would pull down about 3-4 bars of LTE on my ATT S5 and now i get full LTE all day long without the thing fluctuating once. Not a huge difference but still nice to see. This also goes for just about everywhere i go, full bars galore. Anyone else noticing this? Either way it's just another perk along with root and my custom ROM!!:victory:

Bars means nothing. Always check and compare using the dbm menu.:good:
The T-Mobile S5 will show five bars for a -99dbm signal. That in reality should be about 2-3 bars.

It does. It's a fact. When I have a -99dbm signal, my phone shows 5 bars. Then 4 bars with anything below -110dbm. I am assuming T-Mobile did it this way because their LTE is extremely weak, and they want you to think you have a good signal, when you really don't.

dbm alone when talking about LTE is a somewhat artificial number without context . RSSI and RSRP will indicate something more meaningful to the signal quality. -99dbm RSRP would be closer to -79 dbm RSSI and is a strong signal .
I am currently at -95dbm RSRP and am pulling phenomenal results.

This is not an isolated case. There are problems with the new Modem. Go to the Development section. Beanstown has a new thread with all the Modems, firmware, and stock roms.. Try different modems, many times they function differently by location.
