Hello all I'm new to the rooting and custom ROM community but I'm sure i have the hang of it by now...but my problem is that i am using CM7-RC1 and before this i used CM7 NIGHTLY # 60 and with both i have not been able to use or see a 4g network
As of right now all i have is 1x or E
i have searched the forums and have seen that there are some APN issues but, i have not found any solutions to my problem...
any input would be appreciated.

You dont ever see H? H is the symbol for HSPA+ or 4G which is basically the same (according to t-mobile). If you never see an H then that is odd. Was it a fresh install and did you do a full wipe of your last rom before flashing?
it's no "4G" icon....but it's 4G speed when you see "H"
I like to see 4G icon too
if your seeing 1X thats cdma lol probably simple, i had this problem, do this go to settings, then wireless networks, then mobile network, and then access point names and make sure u see it on tmobile not simple, if it is on simple tap on the dot next to tmobile. then after that back out go to phone hit *#*#4636#*#*, then u will see a menu, go to phone information and scroll down , make sure it is on wcdma preferred.... let me know how u make out buddy
When i installed this ROM i went through ROM manager and cleared cache, delvik cache, wiped data, and back up...so from my knowlege it was a clean install.
I also dont ever see 3g or H or H+ sadly, i want this problem fixed

my bad for the double post but, i have done all the steps here and even tried rebooting the phone and i still get 1x.
Just in case you are wondering before, with the original ROM, i did have 4g signal
I have the "H".

hmmm, do u have an older style simcard? in another words did u take it out of ....lets say a g1 and stick it in the g2x? or did it come with g2x new? cuz older sim cards are having problems with newer phones u would have to grab a new one from tmobile they would give u one for free if that was the case .....also did u skip the sign in process? (google acct) cuz for some reason u cant do that u have to sign in rite away... ok try this first hard reboot, hold vol up and power until it reboots and see what happens if a nogo then also try one more thing go back to settings , wireless networks, mobile networks, then network operators and hit search network like 5 times it might give u an error let it say it then try again then go back to access points and click on tmobile not the dot part on the actual word tmobile and then u should see the list hit your menu and see if theres a reset apn try that then save, also minor thing to try go into ur browser go to setting and delete cache , history, cookies, and form data.

Sorry I might be missing something. What is 1x? Isn't that related to CDMA networks?
Yea I'm sure that's what it is but I can't seem to get it to change no matter what I do...I don't know whatelse to try

What I mean is that these are GSM phones, not CDMA (Sprint and Verizon). Is it possible you're roaming on another network, not T-Mobile? Maybe you don't even have 4G signal where you are.
Open your dialpad and dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone information. When your phone displays 1x what does it say is your current network, and then look down several lines and what does it say is the network type?
Anyone know does this phone support GSM1x??? It's a technology to allow roaming between GSM and CDMA networks.
Well under network type it says unknown although i am :
Network: T-Mobile
Roaming: Not Roaming
GSM Service: In Service
GPRS: Connected
Network Type: Unknown
I am also under WCDMA only

Googling my fingers off here lol. The only references I can find to 1x have to do with CDMA networks (Sprint and Verizon which the G2X is not compatible with) and GSM1x which seems to have been experimented with about a decade ago as a possible evolution for GSM providers to utilize CDMA technologies or something like that.
Nowadays GSM carriers here (AT&T and T-Mobile) use UMTS/WCDMA for their 3G data whereas Verizon and Sprint use CDMA2000 (which includes CDMA 1x). The 2 technologies are not compatible but GSM1x was designed to be some sort of a bridge between GSM and CDMA2000.
Have you ever had 3G/4G access thru T-Mobile where you live?

Hi All,
I took unlocked phone HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T. I recently updated to Andriod version 2.3.3. I am not able to find Network type selection like GSM/WCDMA etc.. under Mobile network because of this I am not getting 3G speeds even 3G is enabled on my phone.
It is showing 'E' icon on the phone instead of 'H'.
When contacted HTC they are telling that the device built in a way that it selects 2G/3G based on the availability but it is not showing 3G even though it is available.
The device is not yet rooted. Is there any way to get this option without rooting device?
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi
If you don't have that option here:
homescreen > menu button > settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network mode
then you are not in a 3G area.
I have a feeling this has to do with hardware frequencies. This is me just guessing. You bought an unlocked inspire to use on a different carrier. If your in the us with tmo your stuck on edge. If your using this phone outside northamerica your stuck on edge. The rest of the world uses different frequencies. No way to change it unless you change phones
Have u tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* & choosing the option that way?
APN settings

Hi, I tried this option and set the network mode to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". I turned off and turned on the radio also. I even tried a restart of the device ( HTC Inspire 4g ATT ). But I still get connected to 2G networks only
Can you please help if there is any other way out ? Did anyone get to resolve this issue ?

my phone will drop connection and then not reconnect. no voice, no data. (wifi still works)
what I've tried:
1. Different radios/firmware
2. different roms
3. different preferred network types
4. switching airplane mode on and off
what I haven't tried:
1. different sim
2. calling tmobile for suggestions
What else could cause this problem?
it could be a hardware issue
Hello,
I have the same issue than you !
I am facing issues such as call drop and no 3G data connection in some area in my region since I have 5 signal bar and H letter displayed (HSDPA connection)...
I have found a workaround consisting in:
1 - Switching to GSM Only mode (2G Only)
2 - Desabling Mobile Data Connection
Then it works, I can pass and receive voice call ...
Regards,
Nino
I'm new to the Sensation and having the exact same issue.
Followed the stickies in the Dev section to S-OFF, root and bypass SIM lock and then once the SIM card is inserted I get only GSM and no data.
If you use *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer and go to Phone Information do you notice that it always switches to WCDMA preferred? I change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL like all my other Android devices (on Rogers Wireless) and it disconnects, reconnects but only for GSM and no data. It sometimes says it's connected to EDGE or HSPA but no icon at the top right and then it reverts back to GSM.
I have also tried flashing virtually every firmware, ensuring that the radio and RILs match (I had an HTC Desire Z so the HTC phones are not new to me entirely). I don't know what else to do. I tried a Bell SIM card and tried all of the same options to no avail.
I really hope someone can figure this out. I don't want to have destroyed a phone that I just bought for my wife. Her Atrix broke and I purchased that outright as well, so this is really killing my wallet. I've been through about 10 Android devices and I wouldn't say I'm a newb, but I really do feel like one right now. This sucks!
Get a new sim from tmo if it's over 2 phones old.

Hi guys, i am using internet via wifi for quite some time
But i have tried with mobie data connection and i am facing some problems...
When i switch on mobile data connection 'E' connection(edge) symbol appears for like 5 mins ..
After 5 mins E symbol is gone and i am unable to connect to internet.. my signal strength is full
After 2-3 hours again i can see that E symbol for 5 mins and boom its gone again..
Can somebody solve my problem please..
Which rom are you running? For some T-Mobile users like myself the Cm roms have data issues. When I try to run Cm, I get blinking data that NEVER connects. If your not running Cm rom have you tried the application get RIL? It checks to make sure ril is matching radio and if not matching recommends a ril to download.it's really helped my signal. I found I had a weak signal because my radio and ril we're not matching. Once I downloaded the proper ril my signal jumped back up from one bar to five bars! I am assuming you are rooted. If your not you can't use get ril because it's for device with root. If you're not rooted, your options are pretty limited. If not rooted you can call carrier and see if they can help. But if you are rooted, do try "get ril" it can really help. Best wishes to you. Hope this is helpful.

The E symbol stands for EDGE which is 2G.
Have you asked your service provider to enable mobile data connectivity for you?

Yup .. know that its edge... And i have asked my operator to enable ..
Its working but only for like 5 mins....and i even dont know when it works .. it just comes suddenly and goes off boooom
Try this I think it will work for non rooted phones also. Press *#*#4636#*#* then when the menu comes up press phone information. Then scroll down and press on your current signal, another menu will pop up, then press wdcma only, this is 4G. Then scroll down and press refresh. If you have a available 4G signal in your area this will lock on the signal. It will not switch to edge. I often use this method because my device prefers edge and I want 4G. It works wonderfully for me because I have a strong 4G signal in my area. If you don't lock on or have no signal available after this then 4G is not available in your area. But do give this a try, it will lock you on the 4G network and no more switching to Edge. Let me know please how it goes. I think this will solve your problem. Do write down the code because after reboots you will have to do it again. Hope this is helpful! Best wishes!

Some of the Sensation Models do not support 4G.
It is unlikely that 4G is available in OP's region since it is not showing H

Yup you are right... First thing my device supports only 3g and even if it does support 4g it is not avilable in my region

You can try putting in Data Enabled card of a friend of yours and see if this is a phone issue or a provider issue.
Also check if your provider provides 3G in the area.
Hi there. For several days I have HTC Sensation and I have a little problem with it. I bought a package of internet in one of the Polish phone networks (Play), but the phone connects to the Internet only through the EDGE. All options are set correctly (for example I turned off "use 2g only to save battery") so I do not know why this is happening. I replaced the SIM card with a new one, however, and nothing changed. I tried to set 'WCDMA only', but then phone totally didn't connect to the phone network. I'm using AOKP ROM, but I tried the Vipers and CM9 - no change. I'm definitely 3G coverage as friends on their smartphones without problems in operation of the Internet. What else can I do to turn on the 3G? Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

I tried to insert SIM card of other GSM network - problem didn't solve. I changed kernel to Sultan and GetRIL is showing that RIL/baseband is matching, so I did all from your guide. Anyway, I see that your guide is for people who having problems with WiFi, but for me WiFi is working excellent and signal is strong too. I just can't connect with 3G, only EDGE/2G is working. Does anybody know how to fix this? Maybe should I take back S-ON and original ICS and send phone to HTC Service? I've got the warranty to the end of this year.
Well actually it's the same for wifi and 3G... I don't know normally this fix it!

So if WiFi is working, 3G should be working too? I'm really resigned, I'm trying other ROMS, kernels, radios from Monday... but I don't if there is any sense to send phone to the service and wait 2 weeks to get know from them that they can't do anything with this error...
