Hello.
I'm in the UK and I've noticed my phone gets G, E, 3G and 4G but it doesn't ever show H or H+ for some reason. I'm getting this is something software related but I was wondering how do I o about sorting it?
I'm been told cm13 solves it. So must be a software issue

I'm getting H icon on my tytn now when I'm online. I was not aware that At&t had HSDPA rolled out. Anybody else had this happened to them?? First time that I see H icon in usa. I love it, also if some of you guys do know about At&t runing HSDPA what are the speeds that you are getting??
Thanks
Man if you dont know at-t has 3g something is up with you.. they bought cingular think about it. do a speed test and see what speeds you get... it should switch back and forth from 3g to H

I know they do, I never got H icon before, I always had 3G, I just wanted to know if anybody else had H icon cause when I'm online on the phone H icon is always on. Once when I'm online it never goes back to 3G just stays at H.
The newer radios don't use HSDPA until needed, so the connection sits at 3G until the device downloads something, and then it switches to HSDPA, thus why you see the 'H'...

Early Radio versions didn't have HSDPA enabled in them, the later radios (all those with a protocol version ending with 'H') have HSDPA enabled on them.
HSDPA rocks.
So could this be the reason why I get an E (edge) instead of a G, I just upgraded to black. When i soft reset the phone, the shows up for a minute then goes to e. It never done that before i upgraded... I also have cingular.
well E = EDGE which is a little faster than straight up G = Gprs so thats a good thing they might have upgraded the towers in your area or something since Black is a OS.nb only install and doesn't have a Radio.nb in the package... OR it could be that your older rom didnt have the proper icon base inside of it and only supported the G icon

Can u tell me if the 'H' is indeed faster than '3G'? cause me too is seeing the 'h' icon for the first time on my cingular network... but it doesn't stay.

what do you think? do you think HSDPA is faster than 3G? have you done any looking into this to see what type of speed you could get? did you look at the cingular website?
Hey guys, i was wondering if someone knows something about this and what would be wrong with it.
I'm not receiving any 2g or 3g, only G or H. Though H very very few times. While friends of me receive 3g while im at the same place as them.
I have a T-mobile g2 touch, rooted to modaco with the newest radio rom. I had the same problems with standard rom and 2.73 t-mobile UK roms.
I live in holland which has decent 3g network i guess....
I just wanted to know if someone encountered the same problems or have any intel on this, before i unroot and go to t-mobile store.
thnx in advance!
edit: oh and yes, i have web n walk obviously if you wonder
wups, posted in wrong forum! my bad!
I also get more HSDPA and GPRS/GSM than 3G.
Only few times I had 3G in some Citiys.
Never saw Edge... (a friend has a lot of it)
Switzerland, Orange
Never actually saw my 3g pop up, i spend alot of my time in the major cities actually too. =((
You won't "see" 2G, because G means GPRS which is 2G. If your networks provided 2.5G, you may see EDGE, "E", but most European networks never bothered to implement it because they'd already gone 3G and there saw no need for EDGE. As far as I'm aware, O2 in the UK hastily added EDGE to their network purely to support the original iPhone.
Obviously, when it comes to the icons, "H" (HSDPA) is superior to "3G" (standard UMTS) so I'd only really be concerned if you're getting "G" when everyone around you on the same network is getting "3G" or better.

Which is my case, but what could cause this? t-mobile forgot to turn it on on my subscription or something? lol
Hi guys,
Just got my Hero and noticed on the bar at the top some letters there, either "H" or occasionally "G"
Wondered what these stood for so downloaded the manual and discovered H = HSPA and G = GPRS..
I also noticed there is potential for it to show "3G" but my phone never does seem to.
I also use Power Manager and noticed that in there the knob always seems to be set to "2G" and not "3G"
Is there a setting on my phone to enable 3G or am i missing something?
Cheers
H speeds > 3G speeds > G speeds
If you are getting H most of the time, don't sweat it, because you are losing absolutely nothing.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave, thats good to know.
I just wonder it too, Only G or H. There is no full H or 3.5G coverage everywhere here but a lot more 3G coverage, so i should get sometimes 3G signal-icon on my phone and it doesn't.
If you search on google for this 3G icon problem you get a lot of hits and questions about it.
So for me i keep still having doubts or questions about not showing the 3G icon.
HSDPA or 3g..
nothing to worry about if your getting H then it means your picking up HSDPA which is quicker than 3g.
hi!
i am using a tmous hd2 with the stock 2.13 rom and the recently released 2.15 radio. up till now i havent really bothered using packet data on my phone because i am a wifi guy... only recently did i start using packet data frequently...
i noticed two things out of place:
1) for some reason i have never seen hspa service on my phone. my operator runs a 3.6mbps dl 2mbps ul hspa services. whenever i switch to 3g and connect data, i always get a 3G written over the signal bars. and i have never seen speeds over 42kB/s (~384kbps) in several months of use. i have full signal strength in both 3g and 2g. if i am running 2g, then i get an E as expected over the signal bars. i have put in all the access point settings as defined by my operator (which are common for both 2g and 3g). i have enabled hsdpa/hsupa from winmo settings->connections->advanced n/w. is something amiss with the hspa settings on the phone? i really want to confirm that i have my phone set up right before i muster the courage to call up customer care.
(for someone from bombay, india, i am running mtnl 3g prepaid with following settings:- ap:gprsppsmum u:mtnl pass:mtnl123. this in itself is quite baffling because mtnl delhi has separate aps for 2g and 3g whereas the bombay network has the same ap for both. ap=access point)
2) i have never seen the H/3G/E/G icons on my taskbar. i mean the ones that are NEXT TO the signal strength icons. the space between the headset and the signal strength is always empty. isnt that particular icon supposed to show 'availibility' of the respective type of data connection? i read somewhere a long time ago that the icons are ROM dependent. but i am pretty sure i have seen snapshots of tmous phones with those icons...
i have been using bsnl cellone 3g since feb and i always got H in south india, even while roaming,...in few cities up north, like lucknow, i got only 3g icon displayed..i guess it should be H in mumbai..
from what you say, i think you have not enabled HSDPA/HSPA setting in the phone...do that..it is in settings/menu/all settings/connection manager or ?phone / advanced network ( i think...can't tell exactly where...iam presently on the android side...)

Hi I use an unlocked TMOUS HD2 here in Italy with the italian carrier PosteMobile and experience the same problem of silenced3 (almost the same as I still haven't tried a cellular data connection): My phone doesn't show the kind of cellular signal available, only when it data connection is activated it says what type of connection it's using. Anyone knows how to solve this?
Thank you for your help...
So I just updated to 1.8.3 and I found a weird side effect. In my apartment, I got H+ when I had 1.2.6 and 1.5.7...but with the latest update it will go to H still but it seems like it's wanting to stay on E. Has anyone noticed this? Is it something with the updated radio or does it have to do with service in my area?
Also, the download speeds with the H+ symbol are slower now then before...
