On the notification bar you know how it says what service you are on edge or 3G well I'm having an issue on CM7 when I'm on 3G it says H at the top and sometimes it glitches up and says 3G at the top for a slight second. Anyone else have this issue? Is it normal thanks. It also occurs sometimes on the MIUI rom also

H for HSPA. It is suppose to be faster than 3G, however just because it says H doesn't mean it is on HSPA. For example, att/moto has programmed the Atrix to only display H even when its on 3G. So I get an E for Edge or an H for HSPA or 3G, but no 3G icon ever. Different ROMs might display different symbols on different networks as well.

Drove by the T-mobile headquarters in Bellevue, WA today and decided to run a speedtest for the fun of it. No hspa+ reception at headquarters! Tried at three different spots around the buildings...
So proud I joined "America's largest 4G network" LOL
i have the "H" symbol on my mt4g but i say its more like "E". download speeds are 20kb-40kb max, so when i'm home i just connect to my wifi.
Yea, the problem is that the H doesn't mean anything. Have you tried mobile signal widget (market)? It's pretty cool cause it shows you wether you're on hspa+, 3g, or edge. I kept thinking I was on hspa+ cause of the H until I realized it will always show H even if I'm on 3g.

hey i tried mobile signal widget in the market and it never shows 3g or h or anything. just shows signal bars and thats it. so hopefully there will be a fix for this.
Try the Network widget it works good and shows all signals you might be on.
I'm f***ing tired with my connection keeps dropping back to 3g instead of H when the signal strength is strong enough and the speed as you know becomes miserably slow, very much slower! I know how to force 3g over 2g but not H. So, is there any ways to force HSDPA over 3g? Any help is appreciated
I think HSPA is based on coverage, you can't really forced it. I have no idea how HSPA worked in your country (mine is full HSPA coverage except underground though) but if you are losing HSPA easily probably means your area is lacking proper HSPA coverage. Try calling your operator and asked if there is full proper HSPA coverage in your area.
Oops. Should have explained more clearly. The area is well covered. The signal outside the house is 4/4 bars with H all the time. Inside the house is 3 bars also with H but sometimes drops to 3g. And in my room, the signal drops to 1 or 0 bars but sometimes the network is on H but most of the times is on 3g. So I need to use H all the time. How?
Well, seems like nobody cares enough about this issue(or good enough to know how to solve). but never mind. Got it all figured out. now at least I can use 3g in my room with 3 bars and not edge
What was the solution you figured out? I have the same issue...
You can change your 3g and h limits by editing your prop build using root explorer, have done it on my x10i to increase up and download speed, but dont know the settings for other phones. Try searching 3g+ on xda for relevant thread.

Well I see some settings relating to the Category for HSUPA/HSDPA but not a way to actually control whether 3g or HSPA is selected..

Ever since I been having my Inspire I never seen 3G show up on my status bar. I always see H+ available, H+ connected and E. Never seen 3G yet, what's up with that.

H+ is AT&T's work toward 4G and its faster than your 3G, they have provided this service to all their customers. This is something that happened a few weeks ago...

ATTs stock ROM uses an H+ icon to indicate connectivity to 3G (UMTS), 3.5G (HSDPA), and "4G" (HSPA+). They do this to make customers think that they're ocnnected to "4G" HSPA+ all the time, even when it's not available in your area. Stock ROM also has an E icon for EDGE. Most of the ported DHD ROMs have an E icon for EDGE, a 3G icon for UMTS, and an H icon for HSDPA and HSPA+. The only way you can tell for sure what network you're connected to is by going to Settings - About Phone - Network and looking at your Mobile network type. This will tell you which network you are actually connected to
H is the 3G icon. that is just the way att is displaying it. you wont see 3G as they are calling it H. H stands for HSDPA which is 3g, so no worries you are fine.
I'm on NET10 via AT&T. I got my APN setup and I'm getting data and MMS. However, I wanted to know what the icons looked like for different networks. I haven't seen anything but "H" show up. On the N4 it would show H and H+ letting me know the difference. I was also in a supposed AT&T LTE coverage area, but it still showed "H". I think my APN is setup right. Other users have reported the same setting and getting LTE. IS the H to LTE switch take a while?

Hi I also enabled my Nexus 5, Though I am getting data, but I dont see any symbol at all, on top of my notification panel. I do see wifi symbol, when I connect to wi-fi but no cell phone mobile data symbol. Though mobile data is working for me.
Can you help?
Just got an LTE icon using T Mobile in Boston. Just the H for other areas. Haven't seen an H+ yet

I'm on AT&T via NET10. Have yet to see LTE yet. Even in areas that are supposedly covered. Probably will have to call NET10.

You won't see an icon while on wifi. Turn wifi off and see what happens. You should definitely see something indicating what type of network you are on.

Well, I know that, I have disabled the wifi, then only I tested the mobile data, but I didnt see any 3G/H+ symbol. Though network signal widget shows me the right data speed for the mobile data.
Anyone else have this issue? I switched from Galaxy S III and I was on HSPA+ there so I know it is not the area I am in, switched the SIM and now I am only getting HSPA. I see HSPA in Settings > About Phone > Status
It shows that when its idle when your streaming or downloading it will show hspa+

No problems here on Tmobile (in UK) usually it displays H then when using data it flicks to H+ then back to H when idle. Apparently it's normal with Tmobile to not get H+ unless actual data is transmitted.
However I've recently had some Tmob issues where they must be doing some cell site work because the phone drops to G sometimes but it's never done this in the past and signals haven't changed.
