Hi everybody,
I guess its kinda silly question but what the heck:
I'm using our great phone outside of the US(Israel to be specific) and just got a new sim card yesterday that suppose to support 3g networks(my old one didn't).
The question is:How could I know if I'm on 3g network or 2g network...
I don't see ant notification for that on the stautus bar and didn't find a setting to enable that(beside the wcdma which is enabled)
Thanks
Alon
P.S - I forgot to mention that my provider(Orange) supports and provide 3g network
We don't have a 3g icon.

theres one there, it just RARELY shows itself. Mine has came on a few times on elevators. There was just a thread about this about a week ago. But most times unless your in a edge area it will show 4G. if you really want to know what your connected to go into settings>about phone>status, and it will tell you what your connected to
ok
thank you both

Yea, it is there, but rarely shows its face. I still haven't seen one, but have seen screen shots of it.

so I'm confused - is there or isn't there an icon or something?

Yes, there is, but it also depends on your rom. Some may not have a 3g icon in it

I live in Wisconsin and am using Simple Mobile. I also rarely get the 3g symbol either but i have seen it on stock kb5,kc1, and kd1. I also can confirm the symbol in both the Bionix Roms.
On what ROM are you??
I'm on the Bionix Black Ice and I know I'm on a 3g network (for sure I can see it in the about phone section) but I still don't have that icon...weird...

Running CM7 Test 4 on the new radio. Finally got 4G to switch on and stay on but my speeds are terribly low (0-2mbps). I believe im running REV A enabled per the advice of someone in the CM7 thread.. Any idea's? I was so happy to see that 4g icon light up but its still running like its on 3g.

It might be the network? I'm not saying it is but it's something to think about.

It would be helpful to know what area are you from. Could be network issue.
If you're in NYC the speeds should be normal.

I think it's something with cm7 and the recent 4g outage. Pretty sure slayher commented about it on his twitter. I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update soon.

For anyone interested it was the network. Rom works fine once its got a lock on 4g. Had it stable all day. Speeds shot back up without a reboot or anything
Yes another pointless thread. I just hit LTE for the first time and it is really so damn fast lol, I'm tethering four people and downing bamf rc3. And i can still do stuff lol.

sighs..im still waiting for lte in memphis. ive been on it once for about 20 seconds,lol. I'll have the same response as you whenever vzw decides memphis is ready. Its in Cleveland,TN already. i hope the 20k that live there are happy :/
Yeah buddy, I dig on the speed.
LTE speeds in Metro Detroit (Especially around Roseville, where I live) seem to be insanely good. Actually all phone data does seem to be good here, as my iPhone 4 on AT&T used to get around 5-7mbps in Roseville, but 2mbps elsewhere if I was lucky.
According to speakeasy I've get around 25-38mbps in Roseville, depending on time of day.

Al least you posted in the right section!
when i was driving to go on vacation i passed threw denver and it was awesome was way faster, i know where i live wont have 4g for a looong time same with where im moving soon
I am in Minnesota enjoying the LTE for the moment. I actually forgot I was tethering and ran through about 16GB of data today. Good thing I got this phone a couple of days ago, I would be absolutely screwed with tiered data.
Also, I almost crapped myself when I ran this:

Anyone? Still cant get it
I'm in Brooklyn and i'm fine...
Thanks...... im right on the edge of bk and queens. Going do a battery pull
Lol its working now without a battery pull.
edit: Just keeps going in and out and then goes to 1X
now im not getting a signal. Time to call big red
Can somebody help me? Phone been stuck on 3g/1x all day and will not go back to 4g. I powered it off and did a battery pull. Still no luck. Called Verizon and they dont know what to do, they said I should do a battery pull and I refuse to do that.
I'm on stock. Just don't understand why its not working

There's nothing wrong with a battery pull. It's harmless.

ok thanks for posting man! When we have these problems we should call Verizon so they can know we have a problem in the city....because when I called they didnt know any problems going on in the city and couldn't do nothing for me they wanted me to do a hard reset. Everything is good now I am in the bronx now 3:04 Am was out drinking lol
I spoke to someone today about slow data since January and they told me that they're moving to Network Vision towers right now (3G/4G in one tower). She said they happen to be doing NY over the weekend, specifically Queens and Brooklyn. That might be it.
its gotten better.
Today I randomly saw 1x instead of H or 3G. Any body know what that means?? I went to the settings and under phone status and stuff it said the mobile network is unknown. My data still seems fairly fast. Anybody else ever see this? I'll try to upload a screen shot later

I've never had 1x... usually 2g,3g,4g or E, H and usually when I see unknown in my phone info I dont have any signal...

Which rom are you using?
I've had this happen to me before on a CM flash. Sometimes it could just be a bad flash that caused your phone to think it is a CDMA device so it is showing CDMA bars.
I'm on CM7, weird thing is, it started flip flopping between H and 1x. But it looks like it stopped now

1x, aka G, is the old, OLD cell phone internet from the 1990s. I've only ever seen it in rural areas and it is mind blowingly slow; speedtest came up with 9 kbps download speed. That is not a typo. It couldn't even get a rating on upload.
1X is slow CDMA internet. Never was on GSM systems. GSM slow internet was called WAP.

Here's a screen shot from when it was happening. Like I said I'm just confused haha it wasn't slow though. I was pulling about 1.5 Mbps down so I don't think it was G.

That's weird as ****... 1x is totally CDMA tech. Not sure why it would ever show up on your phone. I guess if you are still getting your 3G speeds, it's not a big deal. Totally interesting though.

Badly programmed custom rom?
Im just north of NYC and lost my 3g coverage, did a reboot and still nothing. I just switched to the old 3g and I have data again. Can anyone confirm if lte is down in any areas?
4g running fine in Cincinnati

On top of that, my battery is draining fast
I can't even catch 3g inside my building like I used to with my incredible. Antenna must be weaker or some ****

You using the stock battery cover or one from another manufacture? It's known that some non-OEM battery covers don't give the best connection to the antenna in the cover.

I am in Florida and I got no network. Just love it. I tend to wonder how good could LTE be once they complete their last wave of phones after the year. Its always up and down.
