[Q] 4G Speed

I rooted the phone and without a custom rom i get the h+ with the check mark. But I get no connection.
So I tried to install a custom mod and now i dont get the 4g speed i get an h with an up down arrow but I can connect to internet.
Can anyone help me. Please

Make sure the battery cover and sd card/sim card cover it on. Check settings>wireless and networks> mobile networks, and check your apn settings.
the h or h+ is irrelevant.

rooting procedure breaks the h+ connection. known fact. cm7 speedtest=.62 megabits down. .12 up. stock s on in same spot= 2.30 megabits down. .76 up.

Then there is something wrong with your flash. CM7 gets me the exact same speeds as any sense ROM.
Custom ROMs do NOT have the h+ icon. That is all it is. You may have to edit build.prop to get the 14.4mbit connectivity back. But no towers can even go near that fast right now.

This man speaks da truff.

Yup. LeeDroid's rom shows 3G for HSPA, and H for HSPA+, from what I can tell. I've had it cycle through the icons after a reboot. I haven't messed with a rom yet that had the H+ icon.

I just got 1514k / 1321k using the Gingerbread version of Android Revolution. Mine only shows an "H" icon.

Which rooting procedure did you use? I used bubbys and my download speeds are way slower.

While I know you weren't asking me, I too used Bubby's tool and my speeds are as fast as can be expected based on the time of day. I've seen as high as 3.79dn and 1.5up.
Dl Prop Editor from market and see what your settings are in build.prop.

I personally used the hack kit before bubby's came out.

Custom ROMs tend to remove the H+ icon, so all you will see is an H.
The speed varies on some ROMs. Edit your build.prop and reboot twice, and you should be good to go. I got 2.5ish on stock ROM, I get 5+ now.
GL!

I know mine varies all the time depening on the time of day. Used bubbys on 3.5 rev rom and have seen 4.6 and 1.9.. it varies though

Waiting on the new gb we will see what speeds we get there

[Q] ATT Infuse on Rogers, need 4g modem/rom

Hi All,
I have an ATT infuse 4G, just arrived last night.
Which modem do I need to get the 3g/4g working on Roger's?
Hopefully something that I can flash with CWM.
I just finished rooting, unlocking and installing CWM recovery.
I now have a "I997RUXKG3" for a baseband, but it is still not getting any data.
Need also a good rom that will work with this setup.
Thanks
Heeter

Bump.
Could really use some advice.
Thanks all.

Try as many out as you can and see what works best!

As long as rogers supports the exact same 3g radio bands as ATT then it should pick it up automatically. If they use different ones then no matter what you do it won't connect to anything other then edge

I'm on rogers and have no problems with any of at&t modems. Just try them all and see which works best for you. I'm currently using UVKJ6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353209

Hey thanks guys,
I don't have any data (3G, E, H, nothing) So I am gonna try Spider posted.
Will report back in a bit.
Hmmm, you mentioned that all modems should work, maybe there is a setting that I am missing somewhere, 'cause I got no data whatsoever.
BTW, Spidey, Which ROM are you using? And do you have a download link for it?
Thanks
Heeter

Hey I'm using Darky Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354321
After flashing make sure everything is running and then flash InfusionGB-CoreA2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485
Then flash this tweak Universal Adrenaline Shot v13.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
Before doing any of this try downloading tweakker https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tweakker&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50d2Vha2tlciJd from market it fixs apn for specific carrier.

Try inputting the Rogers APN look for a search on the forums to find it, it should activate your data.

Thanks for the heads up Spider, Sarius.
Will post back when I check that out.
Heeter

Hi Guys,
Update:
I flashed that modem that spider provided, and as well I used tweakker.
Now I have a "H+" sign on top,
Is that good?
Heeter

Glad to hear that all is good. enjoy

Isn't it supposed to show 4G or is H+ normal for that modem?

I don't know if H+ is good for my area. Don't know if 4G has even made it to my area (Edmonton). I know rogers has been talking about something called LTE in my area.
My Nexus S always says 3G, but it is 3G only, not a 4G device.

h+ = hsdpa+ = "4g"

Thanks for that explanation, Entropy
Heeter

h+ is the 4g in infuse 4g but its more like fauxG, really its just marketing, the infuse and many other 4g phones work on the 3g network, lte is the true 4th Gen network and the infuse doesn't support it.
the att kernel seems to get faster data because of tcp buffer changes ( if I got that mixed up with something else someone correct me) but the recent custom kernels have the changes and are all built on Rogers sources. the rom shouldn't matter but you need to use the Rogers apn settings. the modems should all work including modems from the sgs4g
weather you see h+ or 4g depends on the rom. it can be changed in the theme. they indicate exactly the same thing.

[Q] LTE icon for CM10/Liquid rom???

Hello,
I'm enjoying the CM10 liquid rom, but all of the themes I have found don't change the signal icon to say LTE, it just says 4G. I know its not a big deal, but just wondering where I can find some.
I came from Seans rom SKYICS and I liked how I could just flash a zip and it would change the battery icon and signal icons. Is there anywhere with the same types of zips for Liquid/CM10?
Thanks

4G is LTE on AOSP. HSPA+ shows as H+.

Did you read my post? I said I know 4G is LTE, but is there a way to change the icon so it shows LTE instead of 4G. Also changing battery icons. Without having to go try and find a theme.

Sorry I tried to help. Your post read like all the other ones that don't know that "4G" is LTE in AOSP ROMs. But, yeah, whatever.
Also, no.

whats the theme that shows LTE icon instead of 4G on status bar?

Touchwiz
I think you need Touchwiz to see that icon.

You could always just change it yourself in the SystemUI. That's what I do with em when I don't like the looks.

[Q] Network upgraded to 4G but I only get H

hey there I/'m living in St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
LIME the network provider upgraded from EDGE to 4g on Friday, but I realise since then my phone is only showing H (3G) and not H+(4G).
i am wondering if this has anything to do with the rom i'm currently running (trickdroid) or not?
I was in the city centre friday night where they had the launch and pretty close to the cell tower so I know distance isn't the issue
Thanks for the help in advance

Most roms don't display the +. Its purely cosmetic. Only roms I know that display it are based on the inspire 3.20 version.
Again its purely cosmetic and does not effect speed. Heck the phone is only capable of 14mbs Max. I would say 3.5 g Max

Thanks for the response I was just wondering. Makes sense with what you are saying. And I just realise something I tried another Rom, it wasn't even loading so had to restor this on and realised that while booting up it went from E to 3G to H. But I don't think I'm getting even 2 mb from this will take a screen shot and post to you.thx again for the response.

Depending on what ROM you're using, I've found Speedtest to be somewhat unreliable for whatever reason. For example, I'm running Sabsa Prime 7.0. When I do a test on wifi, I get 15+mbps down and around 4mbps up with 30 ping. When I run it on 4g, I get 7kbps down and 2mbps up with 150 ping. Obviously my actual 4g speeds are not 7kbps. On ARHD with the same radio the test showed 6-8mbps down and 3.5mbps up with 70 ping.
In summary, unless you feel that your real use speed is really that slow, forget what Speedtest says.

Ok cool got you.
But I can tell it's really slow as well. I will try one of those other rims cause this one iy takes a while to switch to programs etc. And I don't have a lot running in the background. The only thing I've realise though is that I've not yet learned how to bring over my settings ( WiFi and apn etc even my contacts ) when going from one Rom.to the the next.

Actually...
If you edit your build.prop, faster speeds can be obtained.
Also H+ is 4G, but its not like LTE speeds or anywhere close. It is more like a couple mbs above 3G.
Speedtest is fine. Your data icon will sometimes lie to you. No joke. It'll say H+, but in reality it is 3G. All depends on your signal strength.

Thanks, how do I edit my build?
I am not sure what's going on it is.very slow and I am wondering if the Rom is the problem wondering if I should go back to the original 4g Rom that came with the phone

You'll need an app like "Root Explorer". Through the app you navigate to "/system" and long press the "build.prop" and edit. You may encounter an error message with something like "file is in read-only" which then you will have to change the settings to "write only" or something like that to edit which can be done in the explorer app. Once you get that far you can edit the build.prop to your liking. For settings that people have found useful search the forums.

If you're syncing to Google, your wifi passwords, contacts, even wallpaper will automatically restore when logging back into Google after switching ROMs.

Thanks I realise the apps came back bit not sure the WiFi passwords did. I'm really trying to find a Rom for Inspire 4g that

H icon to 4g? Need help

You'd have to make one yourself. Because H isn't 4g, there aren't many people who would want to create that

I'd rather keep it into a H/H+. :/ I wanna know what I'm using @shooterlgk. I'm sure many others would agree. Unfortunately for you your that small percentage that wants what you want.
You just gotta find a Dev who can do it. Maybe try contacting whoever makes gravitybox to add that feature in. That guy is always adding more and more and more features, even VERY VERY VERY small ones.

Why would you want to make at say something incorrect?
If you want 4g/LTE changing the icon won't make a difference, if you are still connected to hspa, connecting to LTE/4g will.. And then it should say LTE instead.

He wants the H/H+ to say 4G(he could have it 4G/4G+)and LTE to say LTE.
Sent from my Ñ£×Ú$ 5

I get that, but since 4g is synonymous with lte in most parts of the world and hspa+ is an extension of the 3g standard at best it makes no sense to make it say 4g when using hspa/hspa+. If anything, 4g should replace lte in the statusbar.(technically you cant describe lte in its current form as 4g either, but since the providers branded it that way, it'll have to do for now)

You would need to edit your ROMs SystemUI.apk, in the res/drawables folders, find the images for the data and copy the 4G one and paste it and rename it to the name of the H one.
That is how you can do it, for editing the SystemUI you would need to use something like APK Tool.
Just know that
H =/= 4G,
H+ =/= 4G,
LTE =/= 4G.
4G is 4G and changing icons wont change that

I just hate the h icon. I had an s4 before an would get a 4g icon and once I came to the nexus I got an h..and I tried messing with the system ui says icons r missing
