Only getting 3G where I should be getting 4G?

A couple days after flashing a new a new ROM on my Inspire I noticed that I was only getting a "H" in the top right corner of my screen. I should be getting an "H+" (obviously signifying HSPA+) . I did a speed test on the speed test . net application, and indeed, I am getting only 3G. Any help?

It probably doest have the H+ icon in the actual ROM...

Don't worry dude, its not really 4G anyway. Just renamed 3G technology.

I'm getting 2mb/s down. With the hspa+ I get 14. There's a huge difference

Word... not on AT&T.
I haven't even seen the Infuse get that speed in real world tests and it's specced at 21 mbps.
I highly doubt anyone has seen the full 14 mbps in the real world on the Inspire.

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.

Yes it has 3G on 1700 and 2100Mhz. You cannot tell if you are on 3G or 4G because what T-Mobile calls 4G is really 3.5G (HSDPA+). It is not true 4G. The phone just says 4G whether you are connected to 3G or 4G. When it says 4G you are really only using 3G as T-Mobile is deceiving you and playing a shell game. Having said that, the phone's max speed is 21Mbps per second which is pretty darn fast, but not real 4G.

So does the latest nightly actually tell u ure getting 3g or 4g

[Q] [HELP] HTC sensation 4g went down to 3g?!

After i flashed android revolution yesterday, my phone went down to 3g speeds it even says so when it downloads, did i do somethign wrong? And im with virgin not tmobile

Does it ever show "H"? The Sensation 4G icons are misleading... When you run regular Sensation ROMs you actually see what you're really connected to.

yeah it shows "3g H" in a symbol form ...
i thought my speed went down to 3g since arhd never asked anything about htc sensation 4g for virgin...

Your on HTC sensation on sprint network ?????
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium

My stock 4G rom never showed 3G. It would throttle down to 2G and back to 4G...
Many of T-Mo's original "4G" phones actually showed "H" for HSPA+, but I think too many people didn't understand that.
Any time your new ROM shows "H" then you know it's running HSPA+ (4G).

my phone is from virgin.... i never noticed "H" and a 3g untill in flashed arhd yesterday

4g = h. Also, T-Mobile roms lied, and utms is also showed as 4g. There was no 3g step.
Even with h, you WILL get tmobile's 4g speed, provided the tower supports it, same as before just a different icon.

If you have a cdma phone, you CANNOT use it on GSM. This includes even if the phone has a sim for lte, it just won't work.
