I rooted my Inspire 4G using Hack-ace and installed 2.3.3 Gingerbread (Android Revolution HD 4G 5.1.3). Everything seems to be working fine, but my network is showing only an H icon, and in the network info it's showing as HSDPA. I then flashed a stock version on my phone, and again everything is working, but still showing HSDPA. I then attempted to use hack-ace to bring my radio back to stock. Still showing as HSDPA. My Download/Upload is about 1.55 down/ 1.38 up. How do I get HSUPA working?

Hello,
I just rooted my Aria (Unrevoked on OS X)
I put attn1's beautiful rom on it, everything is functioning fine (tethering, etc.).
But my network is now showing H (uparrow)(downarrow) instead of 3G.
Anyone know what's going on?
the H stands for HSDPA. its a faster data connection then 3g.
3g=UMTS
the stock 2.1 doesnt distinguish between the two and only shows 3G.
so you still do have 3g.
I just flashed my Inspire 4G with Android Revolution 4G 3.5 and the recommended radio and all went fine. But I have a 4G data plan and the phone says "3G AT&T". And on my status bar it is showing "H" not "H+" as it did before I flashed it.
I notice sometime on boot up that I see a red notification on the screen that says something about "Limited service" ( or something like that).
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this matter for me.
Thanks,
HoboZ
If I'm not mistaking I think some ROM don't show the H+ and some do

thanks for the reply. I will test my speeds and see if it is just the rom not showing H+ of 4G like the stock does.
The "H" or "H+" thing is purely cosmetic.
If you notice that speeds on Android Revolution aren't as fast as your stock ROM, check out this thread.
I too just flashed Revolution 3.5 and this is completely normal. Speedtest shows I'm getting 2.3 Mbps up and 1.3 Mbps down (and that's with only three bars of signal) with just the "H" icon showing. As I understand it the AT&T ROM will actually show H+ for anything faster than EDGE, so it's just a gimmick.
Thanks, that puts my mind at ease. I also ran speed tests and I And am getting the same speeds as before, maybe a little better.
edit: getting 2.6 mbps down, 1.2 mbps, 4G in my area sux.. But thats what I got before.

Ever since the 4g outage my thunderbolt is no longer able to connect to a 3g network. Whenever I leave a 4g coverage area it goes immediately to 1x. I've got LTE on/off and have tried both "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" and "CDMA auto (PRL)" and neither get me connected to 3g.
My Thunderbolt is rooted but is running the stock ROM that came with the original root instructions, not running a custom ROM. I haven't done much if anything to customize it.
Any ideas on how I might be able to fix or troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.

It is not your device.
Verizon is still reporting various outages as they are still updating the LTE network.
I have more or less the same issues from time to time since the outage and I can mostly get back to 3G by doing a battery pull when I'm in a known 3G area.
When I'm in a 4G area the only way for my device to revert back to 4G is again to do another battery pull. As I write this my weather widget will not update even as my device shows that I'm in a 4G network. To verify that it wasn't just my device I look at another TBolt here at work and the same is happening to that device.
Hang tight is all I can offer.
did you update your radio? if you're rooted, you may not have gotten the pushed update for TBolts that updates the radio. try flashing the new radio file. 4G works great on my stock roms.
No I haven't flashed anything - where can I get the updated files? Is it a whole new rom or can I just update the files?
BTW pulling the battery seems to have fixed it - now seeing 3g/4g switching. Although the last time I was in my hometown there was 4g here and now there's not. I suppose that's Verizon working on their network.

I had the same problem. 4G would work but in a 3G area I got 1X. So I rebooted the phone and it fixed the problem. Can you try that?
My phone is not showing 4G or H after flashing LeeDroid. It's always connected to 3G, even in places I used to get 4G. I am not sure if it has anything to do with LeeDroid but I had flashed it back to stock and 4G came up fine. Then I flashed LeeDroid again and it's back on 3G.
Any solution? or LeeDroid would show 3G even if the phone is connected to 4G?
I have toggled network (GSM only and Auto). Turned Mobile network off and on multiple times.
Using a Sensation 4G (and 4G Simcard)
I had this same problem. Did you try flashing the new kernal? worked for me.
Edit: I've attached the kernal in case you haven't flashed it

well since these roms are not based of tmo 4g stock rom, they're gonna show you are connected to 3g. IF you are actually in an area of "4g" then the H will show. so im guessing you never really had "4g" before?
also, i too do have leedroid and it sits on 3g, but when i load a page or do anything thats pulling data (netflix for ex) then the H shows and stays up there.
and my H speeds are consistent to what my "4g" speeds used to be
i would try and do a speed test and just make sure
Hi, I put in leedroid on my sensation and did the mistake of letting my battery depleting, now it won't boot up , wondering if it's the rom or my batteries dead
I'm having a couple issues with my data connection and was hoping someone could help. First, my phone keeps cycling between 3G (UMTS) and HSPA, even while I am actively using a data connection (installing an app, loading a webpage, etc...). Is that the proper behavior for the phone? I only started noticing it once I flashed AOKP (and now KingCobra 1x) but I assume that is because they both have stock 3G/H/4G icons instead of AT&T's 3G/4G/4GLTE icons. I understand that while idling the connection may move between UMTS and HSPA, but I assume that when downloading or loading a webpage it should stick to HSPA+.
Second, I am seeing very poor speeds no matter what radio I use. I performed a few speed tests outside with 5 bars of signal (-79db) on HSPA+ and the highest speed I saw was 3.0 mbps (average of 1-1.5 through my tests). My coworker with a Galaxy S III (AT&T as well) performed a speedtest in the same place and saw speeds of 6-7 mbps on HSPA+. We do not get LTE here (Philadelphia).
I have tried the AT&T 2.09 radio, 2.20 radio and the O2 2.29 radio and receive similar speeds on all of them. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to diagnose this issue? Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same issue, my phone cycles between UMTS and HSPA constantly which results in data not working for a bit when it switches.
Are you on AT&T? I'm on StraightTalk (using AT&T's network) using CleanRom 4.5, not sure whether this is a HW/ROM or network issue yet. Using 2.20 radio.

Yes, I'm on AT&T (not straighttalk, regular old AT&T). I'm currently using KingCobra but I had the same issue on AOKP. I was told that it's normal for it to switch between UMTS and HSPA, but it doesn't seem normal to do so when you're actually downloading something.

As long as it's not affecting your data it should be fine.
It affects my data though as my webpages don't really start loading until about 3 seconds after I press enter. It's not that the network is slow, it's that my phone literally doesn't start downloading data until 3 seconds after I press enter. When it starts downloading data the webpage loads up fast enough.

My phone was doing that with CR so I flashed the stock AT&T symbols and the AT&T 2.20 Radio. It doesn't show that it is switching anymore.
However the stock wifi tether doesn't work with the AT&T Icons, even with the mod.

Use Network Signal Info to see if it's still doing it. It might be and the AT&T symbol is just hiding it.
Mine will switch from UMTS to HSPA to HSPA+ constantly.
