I never see the 3g in the status bar. It only shows either E (edge) and H. Is that normal?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
uhhh? really?
uhm. the tmobile g2 is tmobiles first official hspa phone. hence the H. technically its tmobiles first "4g" phone. technically its 3.5g but it is currently faster then sprints 4g network =)
So its normal?

Don't take this wrong way, but since you're new, it may help to read the manual that came with your phone. The information you were seeking is right there.

You only have the 3G icon if you are rooted and running a custom rom. Stock does not have the 3G.
On custom roms, basically when it is at 3G, you are idling, and then when it actually starts to use the data, it will switch over H, indicating that you are actually using the HSPA+ network your phone is capable of.
If I remember correctly, it switching from 3G to H is to help with battery life.
I have never noticed the lag that you stated, but if it does not take a long time between the switch and loaded pages, I don't see why it wouldn't be normal.
When mine was stock, I had 3 data connectivity indicators. H for hspa+, G for 3g, and E for edge. I never saw anything less than H until I left the New Orleans area, though.

G is not for 3g G is for gprs that's slower than edge which you get in really bad coverage which I get when I got to friends house lol.

I was out on the balcony and noticed these three antennas. Correct me if im wrong but i think one of them is a 4g antenna. Ive had full bars on my OG Evo and now on my SGSIIE4GT. I know a lot of people say wimax sucks but to me 9 Mbps down 1.5 Mbps down is better than alot of dsl connections people have setup in their homes.
I cant see that close enough to tell who's tower that is. But everyone normally has a tower pretty close to them unless you don't live in the city..The issue is not distance, there's not enough 4g antennas and there want be anymore of those type. Most towers get congested and causes slow data and stay full. Your tower probably is not full. Drive 5 miles and try again.
I could run the test with a panel array up my ass and still get less than 1.5 Mbit/sec.

Well, at least the IPhone can't take away from my 4G which was 4-7Mbps average and the last two months ..wow!

That speedtest app can show a wild range of results depending on server used. My ET shows only 2Mbps on the speedtest app with nearby servers but when using this site, it shows 7Mbps avg and often 10-15Mbps - indoors. I was able to confirm by doing downloads while tethered. Beware the speedtest app, use this site instead...

Ya but I never added that to my Galaxy Nexus lol. I've never touched my APN settings on this. Only on my G2.
what area are you in? Tmo will offer in house booster kits, I got mine for free and I'm in area that has pretty decent coverage!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I live in indiana, close to cincinnati. I get coverage at home but only 2g. I work in cincinnati and coverage is good there, 4g in most areas 3g in others. Its the best monthly rate i can find ($30/mo for unlimited text, 5gb data and 100 min) but not sure if it's worth having a top of the line phone stick on a 2g network most of the time. Now im on cincinnati bell, it's pretty good. I'll try tmobile out a month before i cancel, see if the saved money is worth the decreased coverage

I wouldn't mind only having 2G at home as whenever I'm there I have WiFi. As long as I have 3G out of the house that's what matters.
Of course its always a cost/benefit analysis. I'm also on the $30 T-Mobile plan and it saves a ton of $$.
I've been recently getting a maximum of 3mb/s download speed on the Bell network in Canada with my location being sadly HSPA+ Max 21mbps.
Is this an issue with the carrier, my location or is it problems with the CM10 ROM?

On cm roms 3G=3G H=HSPA or atts"4G" and 4G=LTE I know it says your area is 21+ mbps hspa+ but I have never seen anybody on hspa+ get over 10+ mbps, tmobiles hspa+ is a lot faster with speeds of 12-21 depending on area. Most likely your provider lied, you can get "theoretical" speeds of 21mbps on att hspa, but I have never seen anyone get past 10 mbps

My Epic 4g gets pretty good 4g wimax reception around Atlanta. But the 3g is the suck in my neighborhood.
I'm deciding against Sprint and Verizon sgs3. I've read enough complaint articles and blog posts (from the summer) about Sprint's lack of LTE that has me concerned about reupping with them.
Thoughts?

I have the s3 and im in wichita falls tx and speeds are blazig fast! WAY faster than 3G even if i only have like 2 bars of 4G. From what I can tell sprint 4G is scarce but when you get it you get it! Im getting almost 3mb/s somedays. nowhere near the advertised 6 but its way better then the 200kb/s on 3G.
While on a call this past morning.

I don't really know how to explain better but I'll try
My T-Mobile version shows the signal icons of umts and hspa/hspa+ as 4g and LTE as 4glte while the non american HTC one m8 shows as follows
3g for umts
H for hspa
LTE for LTE

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Did you read response #5 above? Another T-Mobile user is saying they see "4G LTE" for LTE, and "4G" for HSPA+. Pretty sure that is what he is saying, since the AT&T stock icons are similar. And both carriers have touted HSPA+ as "4G" for a long time, especially T-Mob, which took so long to start their LTE deployment.
If your phone is modded, just flash an international based ROM to get the icons: G, E, H, H+, LTE.
That's the only way? I can flash a zip file or something?
I'm 100% stock right now
