4G icon

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?

All roms will show H there may be a ROM that shows the 4G symbol but it will simply be a mod to show that. T-MOBILE doesn't have true 4G service most people describle it as 3.5 or 3.75G. I'm using LeeDroid now and it holds a signal very well but I still have to test other roms to see what I want to stick with until CM7 comes.

Not sure why that would be didn't do that on my phone with 3.6.1, 3.6.3 or 3.6.5 and 4.1.5, 4.1.6, 4.1.7

Before its doing ok bit I have to re flash the 3.6.2 Rom back coz I didn't like the newer versions so after that both of the shows up everytime, I did superwipe and re flashed Rom same thing.

I would maybe try the newest rom after you wipe your cache. It is by far the best one so far.
Did you flash any mods that may have caused this?

I would try the update first. Watch when the are both showing, is the WiFi signal low or showing no signal? That does happen when the WiFi signal becomes weak. Also make sure the mid you used is for the correct Rom.

Did you get rid of the Tmo bloatware? For me, I just force close the My Account app and the cell signal bars go away.

[Q] Signal Problems HTC Sensation 4G

Hey guys I have an T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, I've unlocked it and now i am using AT&T. Currently i have problems with my signal being cut out or extremely weak when i'm in my house, and in some areas. Sometime my 3G Data doesnt work and it wont load facebook or any website on the browser. I have tried many Roms and they are mostly the same problem with signal. Sorry i'm still a noob about this stuff.
Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance

I dont know if this will help but it will help you change signals. Press *#*#4636#*#* you will see a menu come up. Scroll down to see what you signal is locked on then you can press and another menu will come up with different signal options. You can choose the option you want, then scroll down to press refresh. A series of numbers will come up on line and your good to go. I use this method to lock on to my H signal so it does not switch. Like I said, not sure if it will work in your case but its worth a try! Good luck and I do hope this helps !

Sure, have a look a this thread.
Best advice, read, read, read and understand what you read. Flashing a Radio can brick your phone, but when done correctly it's practically failsafe.

No cellular data

Ok, after asking on various Rom threads to no avail I'm making a topic about it seeing as I'm not alone on this one...
I seem to have lost all cellular data. When I turn on mobile data I keep getting ' connection failed due to incorrect apn settings'
I have flashed different roms, re flashed current viper Rom, factory reset, full wiped, reset apn to default settings, even got a new sim from my service provider. My apn settings are correct, as have been confirmed by my service provider, I've updated radio and firmware...and still no mobile data.
Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?
Thanks guys.

Hi,
Have you tried deleting ALL your APN settings,rebooting,then,re-installing them?

Just tried your suggestion malybru, unfortunately it hasn't made any difference
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I'm running viper too and when I upgraded to recommended radio this happened to me. I lost all data connection ! To restore my data I used one of the five(I believe it's 5) generic ics radio and matching ril. I got lucky first one I tried worked for me! I'm not exactly sure of your situation but it sounds very similar to what happened to me... You might want to try the generic ics radio with matching ril.it restored my data right away. You will have to do some searching to find it. But it's there. This just happened to me last week. I really hope this helps you! It worked for me... Best of luck.

Realsis, I have flashed all the available radio and ril combinations and still no luck. I have full signal and can make and receive calls no problem, sms too, just no data :what:

this problem seems similar to the problem i faced recently ..i would have complete signal ..but no data
in my case ..if i change the network mode to GSM only ..i used to get Edge
the thing which caused this problem in my case is... loose sim ..yes the sim is loose ..and i kept a paper on top of sim to make it fit tight ...and voila problem solved ...just try this ..it might work
:fingers-crossed:

also check in phone testing that you are st to WCDMA preferred
from key pad *#*#4636#*#* phone settings - look for the only drop down box - hit it choose WCMDA preffered then home

I even lock on wdcma only by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information press your current channel and another menu will come up, choose your desired channel from there then press refresh. My device kept going to edge sand it drove me crazy so I locked on wdcma only
And had no problem ever since. I now stay on H. I'm sure it depends on your area also but I've never lost signal doing it that way.

Tried all the above, still no data. Thanks for the suggestions so far guys

I'm still trying to figure out this problem, no luck still..I would appreciate it if ideas to help are given, as it seems I'm not alone on this lol

What carrier are you on? There are APN settings that maybe incorrect or just got corrupted when flashing a rom.
