I have a XT1521. I am using CM 12.1 on it. Since I am on roaming, it is showing R on the network icon. Hence I an not able to see whether my network is using H, H+, or E. How do I remove the roaming 'R' ?

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

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

Agree with bfranklin1986.

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

I also have same problem in India,
My Photon works well in GSM band, but when I'm manually searching network, it doesn't show any 3G operator!!!!!
I've used Radiocomm 11.12.2 for GSM/UMTS coverage, but there is no change..
Pls help me...
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.

I'm a bit confused on the network settings. For example GSM/wcdma,which should I use or leave it to both? What exactly is wcdma? Also on select preffered network do I want GSM or the uxxx (whatever the other is)? As is I get great 4g when I'm out and about but at home my phone just sits with an x in place of signal. Seems it should switch to 2g (is that what T-Mobile calls 3g?) Or g. It occasionally will with good signal but drop it immediately ....

The 4636 menu doesn't do anything on my phone. And the service menu just gives me an error when I go to service providers. This 2g is definitely not 3g its ungodly slow!

Strangest thing, while I was trying to unlock the bootloader with the open (euro?) Version I flashed the radio for it and got 3g and hspa. Only time I've seen it, back on usual jellybean w latest baseband and its 4g or 2g again.
