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?

hello,
Kind of a noob here... I have an att inspire 4g, rooted and android revolution rom. At home I have what I was told is 3g service (and have an H symbol). When I got to work (out in the country) I have edge service (E). When I came back into town the other night, my data symbol went from E to 3G, not H like it usually did... Now this morning it was back to it's usual H. Can someone explain the difference between these, and is this normal or a glitch in the rom?
Thanks!
Search please...this topic has been discussed so many times around here...
I got your 10 char right here

I did search on the Q&A portion, seems like I'm not alone on this, but I never found a definitive answer/solution. I did see that the 3g symbol will result in slower speeds than H. (personally I thought the 3g symbol looked cooler than the H though).
It hasn't really affected me at all, and only happened once, so it's not really a big deal, was just curious.

The symbols mean absolutely nothing. You can make the symbols whatever you want them to be. If you want to know what network your phone is connected to, go to Settings-About Phone-Network. The Inspire connects to these networks (on ATT) and corresponds with the following icons:
GSM shows a "G" icon
EDGE shows an "E" icon
UMTS shows a "3G" icon
HSDPA shows a "H+" icon on ATT ROMs and "H" icon on other ROMs
Supposedly the Inspire connects to HSPA+ too, but no one's ever seen this as a network type. Again, you can change these icons to anything you want. See my tutorial in Themes/Apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300389)

On my Inspire it's settings-about phone-status-mobile network type (maybe this depends on the ROM?)

Its like "3.5G" not the same because sometimes it'll fluctuate between H and 3G

Hsdpa is commonly referred to as 3.5g. Umts is 3g. Hspa+ is technically 4g but doesnt touch LTE speeds. Hsdpa and hspa+ are designated with either a H or H+ icon...depending on the ROM

Sorry for reviving an old thread but is it normal to keep switching between 3G and H? How come it doesn't make it's mind?
OK, I am running stock Cm7
and its good.. not great.. but good.
screen timeouts seem to be ignored in the settings.. or I cant figureout how to get them to work.
With the data indicator at the top.. is H good? or is that 2g? I used to get a 3g indicator .. now with cm7 all I am getting is an H. I never see the 3g anymore.
SO.. am I having an issue with data connection? or is H just different then stock firmware where i used to get a 3G indicator.

H = high speed 3G. T-Mobile calls it 4g

No, H is HSDPA, which is 3G. What T-Mobile, and a few other companies, 4G is HSDPA+ which will show a 4G indicator on your phone. I don't get why T-mobile gets flak for their 4G, no one else in America has real 4G, and I still get over 8 MBPS on my G2x, higher on my SGS2.

Alright so anytime I use cm7 i get H and not 4G i live in the DC area, within the 4g range. what can I change to get actual 4g?

I am on a grandfathered BB data plan, but I have a brand new 4g sim. I've always been able to get HSPA, even with my old 3g sim.
I called in to AT&T and said whats up? They pulled up my imei (matches), but says it's a 2g device. WTH? I'm connected to HSDPA:9 all day errday.
This phone is rare enough here that I haven't found a current, useful thread about this issue.
When I had an iPhone on T-Mobile it wasn't able to get ANYTHING over 2G, meaning 3G. I had a 3GS though so I don't know about the HSPD... All I know is ATT's 3G band is diff from T-Mobiles and so you CANNOT get 3G using one carrier's phone on another network when it comes to these two. I'm not too sure about HSPD but.. It might be the same? You said you've been getting HSPD though so... Not sure.
Well sensation are not 4g devices they are 3g but they can reach 4g like speeds depending on the location

Although, it's hard to know when 3g ends and 4g begins:

That's kind of not true.
LTE, HSPA+, and WiMax define 4G. The Sensation has HSPA+, meaning it's a 4G device. Here's a google I did:

Does it? Or doesn't it? Cause I'm saying mine doesn't when I assumed that it does.
Internet searches aren't going to help me, I'm afraid. There's too much conflicting opinion. There's already conflicting opinion in here lol.
But if there's somebody else out there, who has a z710a on ATT we can put this to bed right quick.
It's a beefed up 3g network and they will not spend the money to get true 4g

That's is true but if you want the truth then take a look at at&t and the one x in order for it to run on at&t network they had to dail it back because of the tegra3 doesn't run on AT&T network so they say

I am using the Bell Sensation on AT&T in Northern California. I average between 3 and 4 mb/s down, depending on what part of town I am in and the time of day it is. Phone signal shows me connected to H+

Are you on a GB ROM? I don't know if there is an H+ icon on CM9, but there was one (supposedly) on CM7...
I'm running an ICS ROM that has been discontinued. HyperNonSense by Kristof, very minimalist but one of the smoothest ROMs I have ever used on any device. Patiently waiting for CM9 stable.
I'm not 100% positive, but I want to say that I was seeing an H+ icon on Gingerbread ROMs as well.

All right, that's good info thanks.
btw, I've run CM9 nightlies and opensensation and they're both really stable, fwiw.
Which roms show the hsdpa category? Is it only gb roms? With ARHD, it only shows HSDPA, no :cat
The symbol is really irrelelvant. If you want to know if you are connected to H+, go to settings > about phone > status and see what it says under Mobile Network Type.
If you are connected to H+ it should read HSDPA.
I have an Unlocked HTC sensation XE that I am going to put on Tmobile 4G or Simple 4G, will this phone even get 4G on T-Mobile U.S? I do not see the 4G symbol is there a rom or something that i have to download for that?

That's GSMArena's take on it. If yours is the bottom set, 1700/2100, you'll get T-Mobile 4G. I have no idea what Simple 4G is, so I can't help you there.
Simple Mobile Runs under T-mobile antennas same HSPA+ 4g service, thanks for the response
Oh, I didn't see the other question. The 4G indicator is an american carrier thing, when you have 3G/4G, you'll see an H. 2G is gonna be an E and GPRS is G. There are mods floating around for Sense and AOSP roms alike that'll give you 2G and 4G indicators.
so if i lets say flashed Sense 4 would i get the 4g indicator?
The mods theoretically work on any ROM. PkMn ROM has in-built tweaks to allow you to switch from 'H' to '4G' whenever you want. It's also sense 4.

What do I have to do to have 4g? I have a new micro sim that should support it.

the rom is not the one that controls the data speeds or 3g or 4g, the radio is, our phone is quad-band and suport T mobile and att networks.
lte is not suported, beside thath all the other networks like. 4g,3g,2g,edge,g, are supoerted.
what the rom does not suport is the data icons, since the venom 2.0.0 base is not from T Mobile Us and is from some kind of rare network in Europe,, 4g icon is not suported, phone will be most of the time in 3g and h icon.
but your data speeds will be the same as 4g, since only the icon is not present in the rom.
