After rooting i get no H+

after i rooted i never get H+ anymore in my house. i used to be able to but now i dont.
hm?

did you root and load a rom? if so you probably now have HSDPA+HSUPA instead of ATT's locked down hspa+

Do a speed test if are getting over 3 MB/s download and more than 350 kb/s upload then the icon doesn't matter and you are doing fine.
Many have already mentioned you will likely not see the speed til the HSPA+ is fully turned on around March

yeah i rooted and loaded the rom in the development section. id also do a speed test but i have like 2 bars now so i know its gonna suck haha.

Slightly off topic, I have always gotten an H+ at 3-4 bars but my speedtests (24 hours at couple hour increments) I've never gotten above 1.8Mb (1.0 min). In the store the data was flying, and across the street but didn't do a speedtest. Need to go back and try. Anyways I do wonder if H+ is going to be gimmiky until it's much broader release.

It's going to display the h+ anytime you're not connected to edge with the stock phone. When backhaul work is done you should see a difference.

that isnt what his issue is. read the rom that is posted thread... he isnt going to see the H+ symbol from what I have seen in from that thread...

Do you think its the rom or the radio?

It is the rom. I think the rom that attn1 posted just doesnt include the H+ icon.

A store rep told me that to see the speed increase I'll need a 4G sim card. Right now I'm getting around 2,997 kbps down & 698 kbps up. He said that Houston is a test market and that 4G went live yesterday. Only problem is that they won't be getting any 4G sim cards till next week.
Does this even sound legit?

Idea...Don't bring up a very very old thread to ask a question that could have been answered by searching.
I got your 10 char right here

sorry dude, im still searching now but to no avail.. Its 2 AM here and im kinda stuck.. Has someone else esperienced this before? i used the GB sense 3.0i.....version 5.01 which is meant to include the H+?

LULZ.
you didnt lose your HSDPA 'capabilities'
you lost your precious H+ icon, which is nothing more than an AT&T cover up to try and trick you into thinking their network is better than others.....its an icon. it means nothing
in the menu, you are only supposed to get a GSM/WCDMA option because thats what the phone runs on.
unless you flashed a different RADIO, one that doesnt like your area, then there is nothing wrong and your HSDPA 'capabilities' are still there. go do a speed test, for petes sake....
search, hell, just READ the titles of a few threads and you will get your answer. it HAS been answered a couple hundred times here and there....

This Rom has the Ril in it for the Desire HD radio 26.13.04.19. I use this as my daily Rom with this radio and my phone runs better than stock. H+ was added for aesthetic reasons only.
Read the radio sticky about matching ril/radio combinations.

Problem with network set to auto gsm/wcdma

I'm having problems when my network is set to auto gsm/wcdma. The phone will get stuck when it switches and I lose service. This has been going on ever since I rooted my phone. I've tried several different ROMS, with their suggested radio flashed and the only way I keep service is if I manually set it to gsm mode only. The problem with that is the internet incredibly slow, which is annoying. Is anyone else having this problem? I'd like to be able to just use the phone without having to worry about losing service.

Preferred network mode is what you're talking about right? I'll put it on WCDMA only and see if that does anything. I'm pretty sure I've tried this before though.

Only thing I touch in there is what I've said above.

Tried using wcdma only. Then my friend called my gfs phone and asked for me. So back to slow internet and gsm only. I'm about to smash this phone and get it replaced by best buy protection plan. It would be nice for the phone to work without having to do a bunch of extra things.

I had a similar issue here in San Francisco... I believe it's because we're in an area with a 850mhz and 1900mhz overlay. I kept bouncing back and forth between the two. Some areas such as South San Francisco and crossing into the East Bay I'd bounce between "H" and "3G" ... and voice was a mess.
The way I got around it was to completely restore to off-the-shelf condition, and then re-root, re-flash the stock ATT rooted rom, and my problems vanished.
Even when I had my iPhone I had to reprogram my phone to prefer 850mhz here in the city, and manually switch to 1900 when I'd leave the city. AT&T's implementation of the intertwined 850\1900 in san Francisco is still fairly young, and it's pretty bad.

So to do that I would just flash the stock ATT Rom, then re do the whole root process and then flash the rooted version of the stock rom?

Oh, I've already tried to do that. I just leave it in GSM only mode and it has no problems, except slow internet...

I just tried flashing the ROOTED stock rom, no go. Changed APN settings, nothing. Now after trying to restore backup of revolution 4g rom, clockwork locks up and I have to boot back into this stockish rom. And the internet works. WTF I'm about to just smash this phone with a sledge hammer, get it replaced by best buy's protection plan, and leave the new one stock.

I've noticed this multiple times, on different ROMs/radios. But tbh, I've noticed it on my last 3 devices with ATT as well. There are times, usually when bouncing back and forth between networks, where I just can NOT call out, and when I call my phone it rings on the calling end, but my phone never rings. I've chalked this up to ATT sucking... I've learned to live with it, if you need me that bad leave a voicemail and I'll call you back.
Also - There are multiple times that I've called my fiance (who has an iPhone 3GS) and it's rings on my end, but never rings on her end. This tells me that this problem is DEFINITELY not device specific

:| I hate AT&T

[Q] Lousy Signal: Anyone Else?

Just checking to see if anyone else with an Inspire on AT&T has experienced a signal dropoff in the last two or three days. One day I'm pegged at 4 bars WCDMA, now I can't seem to get out of GPRS/Edge. Seems it coincides with the rollout of the update. Anyone else getting crappy reception in the last few days?

No good reception
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Reception is all right for could always be better, still waiting for AT&T to get the 4g ball rolling

Folks, I'm looking for those of you who have had LOSS of signal in the last week. Please no "mine sucks" or "mine is ok" kind of posts, i only want to hear from those of you who have had a change.

Does anyone know how to check the status of AT&T's cell towers? Is there a website that will show where they are and what their operational condition is?

You can call att and tell them where you are. They will give you information on the towers in your area.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Signal is crappy, but hasn't changed in the last few days. You should call AT&T and check with them

Well, just as I was about to call AT&T to find out what the heck might be going on, I now see my signal is very strong again, but with UMTS as the network type, though I'm showing 3G in my notification bar.
So, is UMTS the new 4G network and they were just changing the tower over the past few days?

They have been updating towers all over...So to answer your original question, yes I have experienced some bad signal at times, but has returned to a good signal after they finished updating whatever they were working on....

maybe this explains my many dropped calls in the last few days..

What are you showing for network type?

Actually it depends on where Im at in my house...i can move 15 ft and itll pick up an Edge signal....then switch to H+,which is still just 3G for now until LTE network is up and running...Ive only seen 3G once or twice since Ive had the phone...Also just a side note...Im on an unrooted, untampered with 1.84 ROM...Based on your posts, your rooted and using a custom ROM, issue may not be the phone or the towers, may be the ROM your using,unfortunately with the way ATT provisioned this software...you may have issues with certain things using custom ROMS....

I doubt that using the Custom Roms are the main issue. Many of the custom roms are using Stock Kernals and Radios. <- those are the two main contributing factors to cell strength and battery life.
I run MIUI on stock kernal now, with the new ATT Radio .26.06.06.30_M and have no issues. Denver CO Area and run full bars or -70 to -87 dcb at almost all times. Great download speeds.

Incorrect to a point....if provisioning isnt correct in the rom then there will be issues, att is trying to be slick in a lot of ways these days...

When i use Stock roms my signal is steady on H+ n a lil bit on Edge but mostly on H+.
On custom roms i stay on Edge.. H is rare or just dont stick
n yes im using the stock kernal n radio

Update: turns out they were working on the tower(s) in my area. Signal back to normal. Thanks for everyone's feedback.

this happened to me last month, and now today is happening again lol. seems like they are working on towers a lot recently in my area. if i go to another city i get full bar H constantly...oh wells hopefully they will finish all the tower work soon.

In NYC and stuck at 1X?

Hello all,
This has been happening to me for about an hour now. I'm typically in good, constant 4G range. Is anyone else having data issues?

i found this: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1718601-Data-outage-in-Nassau-County-and-Manhattan
dunno how close that is to you but maybe it's not just you.

seems to be back now... let's see how long it lasts, lol

i dont even have 1X...around 2:30 PM went into a subway, turned on airplane mode...once i got out and put my phone back on....no data since...even now still.

I'm in north jersey about 45 mins from times square and i'm on 1x for over an hour now. Hope it's the network and not my phone haha. Sigh.

I was having issues with weak/terrible 4g in my area a few weeks ago. (lafayette Indiana) It was kind of an ongoing thing for awhile, but come to find out that verizon was actually working on the network to expand it across the entire city. Just what was going on in my area and possibly in yours.

just did a wipe on my phone...still no data.
my last resort maybe try different froyo radios? or wait??

No go with Froyo either... I am working out of our madison ave office for the day and I am stuck at 1X. I flashed back to Froyo in hopes to get data, but nothing.

I still have 4G now... it seems to be working ok.

Just had this same issue in Detroit. Was stuck on 1x for a couple hours. Tried restoring a few backups, rebooting, and factory-resetting + clean flash of BAMF, but none of that worked. It just came back up a couple minutes ago without me touching anything. My guess is VZW is making some adjustments.

Don't know if you were running gb or not, however, I ended up frying my sim card shortly after reverting to froyo. Just FYI. I had the same 1x issues.

I had 4g early in the day yesterday. I switched to 3g, and when i tried going back to 4g i got stuck on 1x ever since. 3g still works but if i try to get 4g i only get 1x.

if the sim card is done wouldnt you get no service at all, not just no data?

Aroiund midnight into the early morning is when VZW does upgrades/work/testing/etc... on their network. Most people are sleeping then, so they do it then, because that is when it will effect their customers the least.

my data finally came back!
i probably could of waited and this be a coincidence...but i turned off the phone, pulled the sim card, turned on the phone to let it tell me "no sim detected" then turned off and put sim back, booted up and i'm good again. whew.
edit: after boot, loaded a web browser, the 4G icon disappeared and my homepage wouldnt load =( UGH

I've had LTE all day (since about 7:30 AM this morning) so my hope is that they are going to do maintenance and restore LTE to my home area (have it strong at work...but they took it away from my house a few weeks ago.) I'm in the Lehigh Valley, PA.

I'm in Manhattan in the Flatiron area and the UES and have been on 4G all day. I'm on Froyo (BAMF Stripped) with the leaked radio fwiw.

[Q] Nexus S 4G - DATA DROPS

I have been having this problem with both of my Nexus S 4G ever since I got them 2 months ago.
My data drops out frequently and takes a while to get back up. If I have 4G enabled, then I have to manually reconnect it as it will not do it on it's own. This happens inside AND outside. Driving down the road or just standing in one spot.
I've tried all of the radios (basebands) and about 7 different ROMs and versions.
I've refreshed the data profile, PRL, and even tried the roaming Verizon PRL and Hybrid PRL.
Gone back to stock and tried everything from scratch. Still the same problem.
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
Network: Sprint
Baseband: D720SPRKE1
PRL Version: P:40447
I contacted Sprint and they just told me to update the profile & PRL.....
Any suggestions?

I'm not familiar with the CDMA nexus s, but are you able to change APN's? At one point I'd be able to connect to 3g (I have an I9020A), but every minute or so it would drop, so I fixed up the APN's for my carrier.

iv had a few data issues
forcing PRL and account updates has fixed it a couple of times
i'v bought used phones that iv had
to have sprint force update
im on LC1
[altho i cant tell any significant difference here]
and my prl is 61086
[a business account]
im currently on slim
make sure your mobile network
is set to roam
is not set to home only

Am I the only one with this problem? As I'm typing this I lost data but still had 3 bars. I never drop calls but only data.
Help please. This is driving me nuts.

I almost always have to use 4G (if possible) since 3G speeds are slower than dial-up.
I've tried rebooting and leaving 4G off, and still the same. Even tried going back to Gingerbread.

I have the same problems. From what I understand, its a problem with the hardware. I can confirm that's probably the case, because I've tried many different ROMs (stock, cm, etc...) and they all have the same radio issues (3g/4g and wifi)...

I have an NS4G in the DFW area and haven't seen the issues you're reporting. I'm currently on 4.0.4 with D720SPRLC1 baseband. Maybe I'm just lucky and have a good signal at work and home. It's very rare that I find an area of DFW where I don't get any data signal at all. Not sure what to suggest.

I get random drops too and i hate it. My 3g speeds are fairly good even above 1 mbps. Highest i ever got on 3g was 1.51 mbps

Mine will lose data if I'm in a coverage free area for an extended period of time, when I'm back in range 3g icon will show up just never reconnect. A reboot fixes it

Certain Areas
There are certain areas where I live that data just disappears. Although this is just a network thing I believe. It's weird though when I am driving it's like a 10 second drop and then all is good. Hope you get a solid fix!:victory:

Backup 4g Partition
REMOVED - was a bad idea.

I've actually replaced BOTH of the phones with brand new NS4Gs and they shipped with ICS.
Still the same problem.
This is driving me nuts. I was driving and trying to download Maps for the new phone from the Play Store and it took 6 tries. Kept saying RETRY.
What I've come to believe is happening is:
When 4G connects, 3G disconnects. When 4G drops (which is does frequently), 3G has to reconnect.
***Is there a way to keep 3G "on" in the background while 4G is connected?*** Maybe a way for the radio to transition back and forth?
