4G icon

I noticed that the roms and themes being built have 3G icon in there screenshots. If you have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation, will it say 4G or 3G? I'm assuming 3G. Is there away to change that?

Depends on rom. Mine says H (insertcoin).

It depends on your ROM. Cyanogenmod differentiates between 3g, hspa and hspa+ (what tmobile calls 4g). I assume that when the ROM makers start really developing, there will be an easy way to tell.
As for the screenshots, maybe the dev only lives in a 3g area.

i stiil have stock rom and it always show 4g

The sensation does not have a 3g logo. Even when its on hspa it says 4g which kinda sucks. I bet roms will be able to show all icons

I believe the European version does.

I'm wondering if it's as easy as swapping out the file that the icons are in, like it was on WM.

I actually like seeing 4G all the time. Helps my IPhone superiority complex a bit. LOL

I would normally see H hahah. I don't get these devs making sense roms when the stock phone is sense...

I am in the same situation. Since I have a custom rom i have 3G icon. Before with my rom operator Bell Canada had H+ icon.Can someone explain to me??

yes most say "H" if you are in a 4g area
Luckily its really simple to change it to 4G if you wish, I as well as others have uploaded the modified file

destructionb : where? and how

Here's one grabbed from another thread.
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
Reboot and you will have the 4G icon back.

I'm using coredroid and mine say 4g.

Im not rooted but the other day my 4 disappeared and it only said "G". I was like WTF, restarted the phone and it fixed it.

I'm used to the H from CyanogenMod since that's what the signal actually is...

I'm on Bell using CoreDroid and as far as I can tell it only goes up to H now instead of H+ like it did when it was stock.

Thanks. You just gave me my first ROM that I will try.

[Q] Does 4G work with any of the custom roms for the G2x?

Also whats the best setup rom/kernel?

I use 4g (or atleast what T-Mobile considers 4g) all the time. As far as ROMs and kernels its user preference. Personally I like Eaglesblood, I've used multiple kernels but its looking like the stock kernel is giving best battery.

3G and 4G are the same. T-Mobile doesn't have real 4G. They have a faster version of 3G they named 4G on their own to mislead their customers.

Its software 4g, it just allows a higher data transfer over a 3g connection...

Anyone looking to buy the Microcell device?

I went to the AT&T store and picked up the microcell device to fight the deadspot in my apartment and they gave me a free jambox speaker.
Might be worth checking it out if you were on the fence about picking one up. As for the microcell device, i have four bars anywhere in the apartment now.

US T-mobile charge after throttle

Does t-mobile charge extra after you're being throttle?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using RCmix7.1 GB2.3.5

no, thats what the throttles for, to slow ur role, lol.
I saw once there was a thread somewhere about changing apn and other things to get around the throttle but idk.

Yea the throttle apn tricks dont work. I suggest just getting the 5gb plan. I use my phone for netflix youtune tethering all kinds of data eating apps and i barely break 5gbs in a month. Thats also with 5 accounts synced as well.

Correction, the throttle trick do in fact work. The only time it won't work is if you are already throttled and try to do the trick. As long as you are not already throttled then it will work.

No lol. Film a video doing a speedtest along with a screenshot from my account with a piece of paper in the video tht says xda. Throttling is controlled on tmos end. Until then, your bluffing.

I actually have a job buddy and I usually pull 10 hours a day. You can easily use that amount of data if you never use wifi!!!
I honestly don't care if you believe me about the throttle trick. I don't get paid for you to believe me.

Follow my screenshot and remember to click SAVE. Remember this will only work if you are not throttled yet. If you are currently throttled then you will have to wait till after your next billing cycle for this to work.

No you will not receive extra charges. Your internet service will only slow down after your allowance is met.

This is as far as I'd go. Check my screenshots. I don't know much about Speedtest numbers so maybe one of you can translate it and see if I'm throttled. Mind you those test were just done in my apartment where the service isn't the best.
I've been throttled before and I know how slow the internet gets. Its basically unusable once your throttled since it takes years for pages to load.

Yes and make sure you change the "T-Mobile Data" name to "T-Mobile US" and click save. Are you already throttled? You can check by using the "My Account" app to see if you've reached your data cap.

My inspire wont receive 3G?

My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.

So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.

The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.
