Hey.
My 3G connection showing as 4G?
Why is that, I see a 4g icon instead I should see a 3g icon......
How can I fix it?
Thanks

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.
Hey guys,
I have a T-Mobile Sensation 4G and was wondering why does the phone only show 4G, 2G, and G as a my service? I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I would get 3G, Edge, and G. Does this mean everytime there is no 4G I automatically go down to 2G? Does the Sensation not support 3G? Is there a way to change this?
Thanks for your help guys. Hoping to figure this out.
Mine does the same. It's perfectly normal too since t-mobile's "4G" is technically just a beefed up 3G which means you're connected to the same towers that you were before with your old phone. If you have 4G in your area it means that your 3G towers are your new 4G towers. So if you have no 4G then you literally have no 3G and with switch to 2G. Make sense?

Let me go a step further to describe/explain our new signal layout.
4G = 4G, H or 3G
2G = Edge
G = 1G, 1x
I hope that makes it a bit easier to understand,.
well everyone i rooted my Inspire 4G and recently i have been getting 3G when i should have HSPA+ right now but its switching between the H+ symbol and the 3G symbol back when it was unrooted all i had was Edge (2G) and HSPA+ so idk but i need conformation that my phone is still in prime condition please help! and thanks if you do
From the dialer, type *#*#4636#*#* and see what it shows for network type. Mine shows HSPDA which is faux g. If it shows UMTS, then you are on 3G.
The symbols are different as to which ROM you have installed. They seem to mean very little as your real connection.
Thanks guys!
Is there an order to the way Skyrocket works:
If LTE is available it would connect to LTE
If LTE is not available it would try to find 4G and connect to it
If 4G is not available it would search for 3G and connect to it
If 3G is not available, it would connect to "normal GSM"
Skyrocket is a LTE/4G phone, so does it mean that whenever I make phone calls I should be connected to LTE or 4G?
I had 4G showing in the top bar for 3 days but I haven't seen 4G all day today.
And I do not see LTE or 3G there either (I am not sure if there is LTE in New York).
There is just WiFi and those signal strength bars.
If it says 4g and LTE under your are in a LTE area. If it says 4g you are in a hspa+ area. If it says E you are on edge.

Oh and when you make a call it will say 4g you can't make calls with lte only 4g.

The indicators in the info bar can be misleading. If you want to know which network you are connected to, go to "settings", "about phone", "status", and look under "mobile network type".
And for people that have data connection issues from time to time, I am willing to bet that if you look under "mobile network type" while you are having the data connection problems you will see the network type changing every few seconds or so. The phone is generally in an area where there are weak data connections in all areas and it can't decide which network to grab hold of, therefore, none of them work. I think this isn't a problem with the phone, but a problem with how AT&T's towers handle connections in weak areas.

That's because you're connected to wifi. When using wifi, the network icon goes away. If you turn wifi off, you will see it again.

Scott1479,
So I still don't see 4G. However under "Mobile Network Type" it alternates between HSPA and UMTS - I understand these are 3G networks. Very interesting
There isn't voice over LTE on AT&T (or anywhere else as far as I know).
hi,
with Verizon's m8, how does the data connection signal symbol look like?
i mean, for 3G, do you see an H? for lte, do you see LTE or 4G?
thanks
Stock is 3G and 4G.
