[Q] am i getting 4g on these gingerbread sense roms? - HTC Inspire 4G

I have a inspire 4g but I'm getting confuse about the 4g part.. I have used this hack..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
-using the Rom Android revolution 4g Rom..
My question is am I getting true 4g network with these gingerbread sense Roms.. all I get is "H" and 3g.. I notice during the hack that it kept saying downgrade.. is this what they are talking about?!?!. Is it because of a lack of icons for the status bar that indicate if its 4g or not??.. if so what Rom or theme that can do the job?
Note: I really like gingerbread period. I really like very fast roms with eye candy or something that I can trick out

Technically none of us are. LTE is true 4 g. Best you can do is speed tests across several days with full signal and compare the speeds to full HSPA +.

Also try not to pay attention to the status bar too mcuh, often times it is incorect.

H+ is cosmetics. H+ is just hsdpa. That's all

Well being as you are on xda forums I am assuming you will root and install custom roms. When you do, you will get the hsupa on the inspire like att should have had it

Yup. Not a big deal if you run a custom Rom and kernel.

Ahhhh. I thought this was a hardware deal. False alarm. Thanks guys

I've noticed the past two days I'm on 3g 90% percent of the time even running a dhd Rom. Is the hsupa defined by what kernel is used or is coverage in the ny area lacking? Anyone else having issues?
I've been getting upload of 1.59 with att1 stock rooted.

I don't worry too much about upload speed on mine. There's no ffc to worry about video chat quality and I don't upload much except for the odd pic.
I get faster upload on att 3G than in sprints 4G.

Same here. My downloads are usually 800ish kbps. Maybe 600ish for upload.

so which kernel do u recommend running? i'm gonna be rooting tonight or tomorrow, i was gonna go with the stock kernel as was suggested in the other thread.
I'm running att1 stock rooted and the with stock kernal. You have to use this one or the telus kernal until source is released. My combo has the best sound. Plus non market apps and hotspot active.

Rooted ace hack kit
Att1 stock rom
I'm getting garbage DL and UL on my Inspire. My xPeria x10a is slaughtering. I have pics to show but xda won't let me put links up yet.
General newbie rooting question... if I have all my apps and crap installed and I root, do I have to reinstall it, or is it like jailbreaking iPhone where it just adds root access without touching the installed stuff?

The problem is that not having HSUPA affects your latency and download throughput negatively.
According to Engadget, Inspire hardware most certainly supports HSUPA and is disabled via firmware. If AT&T and HTC agrees to do so, they can easily release a firmware upgrade that would enable HSUPA.
Of course, I'm expecting custom ROM and kernel that will support HSUPA.

Wow. That's rough! Should've never been disabled in the first place. Duh....

How to get 4G back

Is it possible? And by 4G I mean H+ not H.
What Rom are you running on your phone? Some desire hd roms only show H. H+ is only at&t's way to make people believe they are on "4G".

I'm now running HTC Stock Optimized v2 and I got 4G back. And the 4G still a lot faster than 3G imho.

H and h+ are the same. Just cosmetic difference. Stock stock att rom has it because they think it looks better than regular h.
Also known as a gimmick.
Or bullcrap.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
yea, if you change all of 3 .png image files you can make you phone say H, H+, 4G or even "supa fast" if you can make it fit in the space.
In my country theres not 4g networks and my Inspire 4g show H+

Qudtion about eagleblood 1.9

When I'm using eagleblood 1.9 my internet didn't say 4g or 3g it just says e or h,is this normal,,, and is the battery good on this rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
yea this is normal. The dev who made it said in the thread he just didn't add icon for it, but you are still geting 4g
Yes that is normal the "H" Stands for HSPA+ TMO'S high speed network. And the battery is really good the best I have seen yet out of any of the roms I have had.

Not seeing the "H+" indicator, only "H"

Suddenly I am only seeing the "H" Icon for my data connection and not the "H+." which was ALWAYS there. Download speeds haven't changed much (they still suck varying between 1.1 and 3Mbps).
I know it really doesn't mean much but I ALWAYS had H+ indicator (whether it was right or wrong) but now I only have "H."
Nothing here has changed (at least as far as I know) and wondering what might have happened.
Running Serendipity VII ROM fwiw.
No one else seeing this?

My infuse showed a 4G icon when it was on stock but since flashing LinuxBozo Hellraiser and the SensatioN Galaxy S I9000 ROM it only shows the H and I think its because the ROM does not have the proper icon in it...
Anyone else have any opinion on this?

That sounds correct. An I9000 ROM won't have an H+ icon in the framework.
Serendipity VII does not use H+....so you should have always had a H only while running it...

TMOUS Firmware Data Issues (ASOP/CM9)

Hey Guys, I've been scouring the forums for several weeks now trying to figure out an issue. I am a TMOUS user with a Sensation 4G running Elegancia Blitz. And even though I've enjoyed using this Sense ROM, I'd much prefer to use the more pure ASOP/CM9 ROMs. I have the correct 3.32.531.14 firmware flashed on the phone; when I flash non-Sense ROMs (or non-Tmobile) my data connection suffers. I don't get full 4G speeds and signal strength is decreased. Is there a way around this? I apologize if this has already been answered.
Try a new radio/ril combination and see what works best in your area this should help.

I figured, but even though I have a pretty good understanding of Custom ROMs, I am not quite sure how to change/try a different radio.
