It's HSDPA+, which is T-Mobile's 4G

I get about the same here in Metro Detroit. My taskbar even says 4G. I got the same speeds on my HD2 running Android. 4G my ass!?!
-CMYLXGO
Edit: Just ran a few more speed test from my desk. Very inconsistant data speeds
4 Bars 4G Icon
Test1: U:6196kbps D:2471kbps
Test2: U:5137kbps D:2153kbps
Test3: U:3893kbps D:2251kbps
Test4: U:3398kbps D:2113kbps
Test5: U:3095kbps D:2115kbps
I've always wondered about speedtest...
How can I tell if my download/upload speed is good? What numbers should look out for?

Los Angeles: 4mb down, 2mb up
Even though the speed is supposed to be 14.4mbps
I think we should atleast me getting 7-10 mbps in the areas where 14.4 is expected

Yes it has 3G on 1700 and 2100Mhz. You cannot tell if you are on 3G or 4G because what T-Mobile calls 4G is really 3.5G (HSDPA+). It is not true 4G. The phone just says 4G whether you are connected to 3G or 4G. When it says 4G you are really only using 3G as T-Mobile is deceiving you and playing a shell game. Having said that, the phone's max speed is 21Mbps per second which is pretty darn fast, but not real 4G.
So does the latest nightly actually tell u ure getting 3g or 4g

Wanted to ask for some info, after I flashed my phone with arhd 4.1.3 everytime I connect to tmobiles data network it only shows "H" icon instead of the "4g". Does this mean Im not connected to the 4g anymore?

Not at all.
H means HSPA+ which is tmobiles 4G mike is based out of the other half of the world which doesn't run 4G so that's why his rom have the. H no different than 4G

The H is for HSPA+ also. Depends on which rom you are using as to weather it shows H or 4G.
Actually I think there is something weird with how some towers identify themselves too: I only have seen H in NYC, but saw 4G in Atlanta. Speedtests showed roughly the same speeds in both cities, and I'm pretty sure 4G service is available in both.

In the latter releases of CM7, there is a differentiation in icon based on "Mobile Network Type".
Mobile Network Type HSPA = Icon H
Mobile Network Type HSPA+ = Icon 4G
A lot of the places I travel to show up as H, but I did notice the 4G icon while transiting at Atlanta's airport.
The G2X isn't banded for 3g. Just 4 and 2.

After i flashed android revolution yesterday, my phone went down to 3g speeds it even says so when it downloads, did i do somethign wrong? And im with virgin not tmobile
Does it ever show "H"? The Sensation 4G icons are misleading... When you run regular Sensation ROMs you actually see what you're really connected to.
yeah it shows "3g H" in a symbol form ...
i thought my speed went down to 3g since arhd never asked anything about htc sensation 4g for virgin...
Your on HTC sensation on sprint network ?????

My stock 4G rom never showed 3G. It would throttle down to 2G and back to 4G...
Many of T-Mo's original "4G" phones actually showed "H" for HSPA+, but I think too many people didn't understand that.
Any time your new ROM shows "H" then you know it's running HSPA+ (4G).
my phone is from virgin.... i never noticed "H" and a 3g untill in flashed arhd yesterday
4g = h. Also, T-Mobile roms lied, and utms is also showed as 4g. There was no 3g step.
Even with h, you WILL get tmobile's 4g speed, provided the tower supports it, same as before just a different icon.

If you have a cdma phone, you CANNOT use it on GSM. This includes even if the phone has a sim for lte, it just won't work.
