I have the inspire 4g and I just recently rooted and flashed a custom rom to it. Before I did so I had h+ or 4g connectivity. Now all I am getting at the most is hsdpa. Is this due to rooting or the rom or what? Please help.

You saw the H+ icon and assumed it was hspa+, or you actually looked in settings > about phone > network prior to rooting and you saw hspa?
The stock H icons are misleading.
I actually did not do that before rooting. I just seen the h+ and automatically assumed that it was 4g connectivity. Its no big deal as hsdpa is only a small step down from hspa+ I was just making sure it wasn't BC of the rom or rooting in general... Thanks!

I have never seen HSPA+ as a signal in the About Phone menu and I check it frequently. Always HSDPA and a few outliers of UMTS.
HI, first time posting please be easy on me.
I am looking for a ROM whcih can support Tmobile 4G network.
I have tried [LeeDROiD, Android Revolution HD, they both connect as " Edge" not 4G, does anyone knows how do I fix it?
All roms will show H there may be a ROM that shows the 4G symbol but it will simply be a mod to show that. T-MOBILE doesn't have true 4G service most people describle it as 3.5 or 3.75G. I'm using LeeDroid now and it holds a signal very well but I still have to test other roms to see what I want to stick with until CM7 comes.

I've tried WCDMA Preferred and GSM Auto (PRL) but I am constantly losing 4G switching back and forth in areas I have never had a problem.
Download the app called 'Network' in the Android market and set it to WCDMA only.
That isn't a solution but why wouldn't I just set it in the testing mode? Why download another app?
I lose 4g often too....and I go down to 2g....what happened to 3g? My old prepaid Cricket phone had a consistent 3g signal all over Tucson, while the 4g is really fast, it isn't reliable, and almost (almost) makes me wanna go back on cricket.
this radio is garbage.
my g2 was piss poor with 4g and this one is even worse.
I can watch it sit on the table and go from full bars of 4g to 2 bars of 2g/edge and STAY there.
sorry for the uninformed question, but is this something that can be fixed in a new rom, or mod?
I added data tweaks to my roms. I don't have any issues.

Mind sharing?
It's not the radio. It's more likely the 4G signal in your area. I am in Atlanta and I have full bar 4G almost everywhere I go. At home it will drop down to 2G but I have wifi there.
As for 3G, this is a 4G radio. We're you joking about the 3G expectations?

Point #1 - You are incorrect. I am saturated with T-Mos "fake" 4G coverage and have never had a phone drop it like this one does.
Point #2 - What are you asking the other posted about 3G expectations. This phone doesn't have a 4G radio. T-Mo doesn't have 4G. They have 3G that they market as 4G.

Everyone has "fake" 4G coverage. LTE isn't technically classified as "4G" either, the specification calls for rates of at least 100/mbps. T-Mobile currently has faster and more widespread pre-4G coverage than any other carrier, and the phone does have a pre-4G radio. The phone does support HSDPA at rates up to 21Mbps, and does is in fact have a pre-4G radio. And as far as my other comment not being a solution, have you tried it before bashing it? I've had plenty of luck with that solution personally and I figured it would be kind of me to share, but I suppose I stand corrected.

Yes. Thanks to your roms, I have signal in places I never had before (like the bathroom at work. I can now surf while doing my "business" and important "paper work" in my "office", ya know.?
while i poop.
What are data tweaks?
I have noticed like the iPhone 4 that if you touch that metal peice on the back around the camera the signal drops. I got a case that covers that up and that fixed all my 4g signal problems. My phone stays on 4g most of the time where I am. The T-Mobile network where I live works very well though.

Sure I will share, go to the MT4GS Android Development and try my Doubleshot v1.2.0, or try my Senseless v2.1.0. Both are stable.

I added a flashable zip in the dev section to CURE this issue. Hit my thanks button.

If you are on the tmobile network, you can't get 3g anymore if your phone is a 4g phone. It's either 4g or 2g.

have all HSDPA towers been upgraded to HSDPA+?
Or does the phone just recognize all HSDPA as '4G'?

It recognizes all HSDPA as '4G', I have full signal in certain areas with a '4G' icon but get speeds around 1Mbps and when I check the actual signal with third-party apps it is registered as HSDPA.
i think u guys got bad apples cause i always get 4g an my friend wit the same phone has 4g all the time
I have a qwestion when I put on cm9 night lies it shows a h for hspa signal instead of the 4G signal icon.I want the 4G back.I was told its a patch I don't understanding what that means.Does anyone know how to regain my 4G icon on the top of my screen.

I rooted my T-mobile galaxy blaze 4g and installed ICS 2.3.6. A short time later I upgraded to CM10.0.0. It was there that I noticed that I lost my 4G capability. I only have 2G/3G service now. Where did it go and how can I get it back? Please help!

Go into settings/wireless/more/mobile networks/network mode and check mark the one with lte. This should solve your problem
Did that but still showing 2G/3G and an H+ for my network connectivity. Could it be because T Mobile does not recognize this particular ROM yet and therefore has not authorized it to carry 4g? Kind of at a loss as what to do anybody with other suggestions please.

H+ is 4g

OK cool. I hate to belabor this topic but it why is the 4g intermittent and 3g and 2g seem to be default? It only goes into H+ intermittently it's in very few circumstances. Primarily remains in 3g and menu allows me to go down to 2g. I'm pretty new, I've done a lot of reading, I'm just trying to understand. Thank you for all your help.

Its just as frequent as your last ics , the difference is 4g from T-Mobile never leaves the screen but you were still alternating 3g/4g just the same. Another thing is T-Mobile has less 4g towers than say sprint or atnt sooo really nothings changed. Enjoy !!!
TMO ROMs show 4G full time to avoid panic.
TMO calls HSPA14 and up "4G".
H+ is HSPA+21 and higher.
Phone automatically ramps down to H or "3G" when data connection is more or less idle. Under use, it'll ramp up to H+. Potential battery saving...
Nothing has changed compared with before, except the dummy icon.
