Question I just bought a Bell HTC sensation 4G phone and got an unlock code for it so I could hook it up to the Telus network. Everything is all good its running fine on the telus network except that I still only get the data symbol "H" and not "H+" 4G network??????????
Is there some settings that I'm missing to get it to conect to the 4G network any help would be great and thanks you in advance

I am not to sure about Telus but with Nexus S it would show an H when I was connected to 4G on Rogers.

Ok is ther any way to check what network I'm connected to HSPA or 4G because I tried the speed test and my download speeds are the same if not less than I was getting on my desire HD with HSPA (3g+)
hey guys, where did you get the unlock code from?
I am purchasing a Bell sensation tomorrow. It will work on Rogers 3G right? they use same frequency

Hey guys,
I have a T-Mobile Sensation 4G and was wondering why does the phone only show 4G, 2G, and G as a my service? I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I would get 3G, Edge, and G. Does this mean everytime there is no 4G I automatically go down to 2G? Does the Sensation not support 3G? Is there a way to change this?
Thanks for your help guys. Hoping to figure this out.
Mine does the same. It's perfectly normal too since t-mobile's "4G" is technically just a beefed up 3G which means you're connected to the same towers that you were before with your old phone. If you have 4G in your area it means that your 3G towers are your new 4G towers. So if you have no 4G then you literally have no 3G and with switch to 2G. Make sense?

Let me go a step further to describe/explain our new signal layout.
4G = 4G, H or 3G
2G = Edge
G = 1G, 1x
I hope that makes it a bit easier to understand,.
HI, first time posting please be easy on me.
I am looking for a ROM whcih can support Tmobile 4G network.
I have tried [LeeDROiD, Android Revolution HD, they both connect as " Edge" not 4G, does anyone knows how do I fix it?
Ive tried leedroid,insertcoin and virtuous. Im on 4g on all of them...

I don't believe that any ROMs would disable 4G. I'm currently using Virtuous and it's running great.
Check:
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Network Mode.
Is that set to GSM only? If so, change to GSM / WCDMA auto.
(it will appear as GSM only while WiFi calling is active)
4g has worked for me on rev hd and leedroid.

you must know that 4g is hspa+
you can go in to settings,about phone,software information,more,baseband to check if your radio shows P then your "4G" is enabled,if your radio shows "U",your "4G" is disabled.
For example,
10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 hspa
10.43a.9007.00P_10.51.9007.27_M3 hspa+(and this is what you called 4G)
Thanks! you have answered my question!! Mine is P.
thanks!!
I'm on Leeroid and mine is U and I can see "H" and my speedtest showed speeds of 4.2mbps. Am I still getting regular 3G when I think I'm getting 4G?

Thanks, good info to know.
I bought a Bell Sensation 4G and Unlocked it to work on the telus netowrk everythig is great except the phone doesnt connect to telus HSPA+ netowrk why?
The only icons I get for data is 3G and H no H+??????
My friend has the same phone with bell and his gets the H+ netowrk
I have my phone rooted and s-off and ARHD Rom installed on it.
I've tried to phone Telus about it but they wont give me any help because its not there phone. They just tell me that I'm in the coverage area for H+ and should be getting it but I'm not.
I think H is used for both hsdpa and hspa+. Compare speeds to make sure.
Looking for a rom that is setup for art USA or if I can get some help setting this phone for use on the art network.
im pretty sure they all work on at&t. if it doesnt already have the APN detected and working, you can always enter it yourself. try arhd. cant go wrong
In case u didn't see it already, be aware the tmo-us sensation can't use ATT's 3/4G (3.5G?) network. I experimented with a buddy's att sim card and only got EDGE where his inspire got full bars of H+. I hear the Canadian sensation works great with att
Thanks for the info.. how come sensation can't use Matt 4g

oh right, your moving from tmo to att?
well if your using a tmo sensation, then you cant get 3g/4g speeds due to the phone/network different radio bands. to get 3g/4g on att you need a bell, telus, or telstra sensation i think
Hi - Has anyone been able to get their Rogers One X working on Bell's LTE network? I've got it running at 4G only at the moment and tried in a few LTE areas per the coverage map. LTE Sim, APN (pda.bell.ca) and provisioned on the account level. I've been told my data plan is not compatible and would have to change my plan (voice & data) as it's a corporate account.
Anyway - curious if other Bell users have had luck.
Thanks!
May not be much help but LTE works perfect on Telus
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Telus and Bell run the same towers so you should be fine, I'm on bell with the HOX but not in LTE zone to test, might do that tomorrow if I'm bored...ill let you know!

How did you get the Telus LTE to work? When ever I turn it on it will show that I'm connected to LTE but I don't get any data...... I have to turn LTE off and let it connect to HSPA to get the data to work.
Edit it seems to be working now I can connect to the LTE network but my LTE speed are only about 10mbps download???????? I know I can get around 16mbps on the HSPA+ network as I used to get these speeds on my HTC amaze. Anyone know why the LTE speeds are so slow?

That would be great - thanks!
I'm currently using pda.bell.ca and tried pda2.bell.ca for a bit with no LTE. Bell techs are saying it may be the plan I'm on (6GB smartphone) but I'm hearing other users have this same data plan and it works.. who knows, it could be the phone itself!
kind of OT but where did you get it unlocked from and for how much? link? thx
to unlock it go to cellunlocker.net , only tooke about 2 hours for me to get the code for 7.99 plus tax, i use them all the time
I'm using the HOX for the last 2month on Bell LTE no problems here LTE kicks in perfectly fine. Mind you there's some spots here in the City where there's not LTE service but even on the 4G network I can manage a could 8mpbs/sec ratio.
Cheers.
Checking back in to this thread - has anyone on a Rogers device updated their radios with a noticeable increase in signal strength and speed? I'm still running the stock radio at the moment.
