After rooting i get no H+

after i rooted i never get H+ anymore in my house. i used to be able to but now i dont.
hm?

did you root and load a rom? if so you probably now have HSDPA+HSUPA instead of ATT's locked down hspa+

Do a speed test if are getting over 3 MB/s download and more than 350 kb/s upload then the icon doesn't matter and you are doing fine.
Many have already mentioned you will likely not see the speed til the HSPA+ is fully turned on around March

yeah i rooted and loaded the rom in the development section. id also do a speed test but i have like 2 bars now so i know its gonna suck haha.

Slightly off topic, I have always gotten an H+ at 3-4 bars but my speedtests (24 hours at couple hour increments) I've never gotten above 1.8Mb (1.0 min). In the store the data was flying, and across the street but didn't do a speedtest. Need to go back and try. Anyways I do wonder if H+ is going to be gimmiky until it's much broader release.

It's going to display the h+ anytime you're not connected to edge with the stock phone. When backhaul work is done you should see a difference.

that isnt what his issue is. read the rom that is posted thread... he isnt going to see the H+ symbol from what I have seen in from that thread...

Do you think its the rom or the radio?

It is the rom. I think the rom that attn1 posted just doesnt include the H+ icon.

A store rep told me that to see the speed increase I'll need a 4G sim card. Right now I'm getting around 2,997 kbps down & 698 kbps up. He said that Houston is a test market and that 4G went live yesterday. Only problem is that they won't be getting any 4G sim cards till next week.
Does this even sound legit?

Idea...Don't bring up a very very old thread to ask a question that could have been answered by searching.
I got your 10 char right here

sorry dude, im still searching now but to no avail.. Its 2 AM here and im kinda stuck.. Has someone else esperienced this before? i used the GB sense 3.0i.....version 5.01 which is meant to include the H+?

LULZ.
you didnt lose your HSDPA 'capabilities'
you lost your precious H+ icon, which is nothing more than an AT&T cover up to try and trick you into thinking their network is better than others.....its an icon. it means nothing
in the menu, you are only supposed to get a GSM/WCDMA option because thats what the phone runs on.
unless you flashed a different RADIO, one that doesnt like your area, then there is nothing wrong and your HSDPA 'capabilities' are still there. go do a speed test, for petes sake....
search, hell, just READ the titles of a few threads and you will get your answer. it HAS been answered a couple hundred times here and there....

This Rom has the Ril in it for the Desire HD radio 26.13.04.19. I use this as my daily Rom with this radio and my phone runs better than stock. H+ was added for aesthetic reasons only.
Read the radio sticky about matching ril/radio combinations.

Skyrocket on T-mobile T-zone grandfathered data plan

I just got Skyrocket. I have never spent so much on a cellphone before.
Now I have 5.99 unlimited data plan from T-mobile. It is well known as T-zone or Web2Go. I was so eager to try this phone on T-mobile and see if it worked.
After unlocking the Skyrocket, I first rooted then tried flashing different modems from Rogers, Telus, T-mobile KID, VK1 and ect but none of them worked. I was only able to pick up voice signal on stock Radio.
Then I tried flashing the phone with Juggernaut and tried flashing modems. Now I started getting HSPA+ signals. For me KID and Telus modem worked the best. Average download speed was around 5-6mb/s. As the Juggernaut ROM was originally intended for 989, it seemed little unstable for me.
Then I tried Sky ICS stock and Telus combo. Wow, Now I was getting download speed of 10mb/s on T-zone. This combo was nicer because phone did not try to search for UMTS signal so frequently as much as it did with Juggernaut. However now my voice signal dropped down to 1 bar and call quality was horrible(at least it was audible).
Has anyone found any other good ROM/kernel/modem combo for Skyrocket that works best on T-mobile?

Flash tpc v3, and then flash faux sky-kernel 009m. Flash telus radio and make sure j have the right apn (access point names) for T-Mobile. This should clear u right up

Can you tell me what is your upload speed?! I have SkyRocket working with T-Mobile, using T-Mobile rom with flashed modem....the only problem is upload speed,it's around 100kbs while my download is around 7MBit...

I usually get 1mb/s - 1.5mb/s of upload speeds according to speed test.
When reception was good, then I got over 2.2mb/s of upload speed.

Thanks I will try as you have suggested later today.
I was surprised that battery drain is so significant when idle. My old HD2 uses only 2mA when idle, but my skyrocket uses over 100mA even when gps, data, bluetooth turned off. hope new combo fixes this battery drainage problem as well.

I ve only flashed through CWM. Is IMG flashing same method as Odin? I was trying to find a guide on IMG flash but I could not find any.

Here's locations of everything i told u about in versions that are flashable in cwm, i also added darkside, flash this first before u flash anything else. Flash in order and flash all at once before rebooting. After look into how to use fauxclock, it will help give u better battery

sky ics speed and vk1 seemed to work best for me.
download was faster with telsus but upload was crippled. (less than 0.1) hmm
i feel like vk1 does drain the battery like crazy tough and constantly sends those "high are you there type signals"

So what is your combo to get that kind of upload speed?! As I said, can't get over 100kbs of upload, while download works just fine...

depending on coverage, area and carrier that may be why he's doing better than u. Speed tests are all relative, and should only be taken based in averages. If he's living right beside an LTE tower and he's the only one who has an LTE phone for a quarter mile, his speeds will certainly be faster than someone who lives half a mile away from one and has another 200 people using the tower at the same time

upload spped has never been issue with me.
I think it was Juggernaut with Telus or KID Radio.
upload speed was also fine on sky ICS n TPC.

Coverage in NYC is great. Have HTC Sensation and SkyRocket, both with T-Mobile. At the same spot Sensation gets 7Mbit/1.7MBit, while SkyRocket is 7MBit/0.1MBit, so the problem could be in modem, kernel or ROM. Modem is the suspect #1. It seems U/L freq. is the one causing slow upload speeds.

have u tried telus modem?

i have been using the skyrocket on tmobile for 2 days now. i get 2-3 mbps down at work until 4pm or so and then it degrades to 200-500 kbps. i don't know if it is the phone or the tmobile network, but i did not have this issue before with my nexus one.
as i drive away from work, i suppose when i switch towers, i get back to 2-3 mbps down.
this is the behavior that i have noticed the past 2 days.
---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
on another note, i wanted to ask if it is safer and more compatible to be running skyrocket roms and kernels or tmobile galaxy sii roms and kernels?
of course the common theme would be tmobile / telus radio. i'm currently running TPC rom with faux's kernel and tmobile vk1 radio and i am having issues with 8tracks app. it keeps pausing and won't play again until i skip track. i have so far determined it is not the radio, since this happens on both tmobile and telus radio.

So, I imported a sensation 4G from canada (Bell) and have now S-off, unlocked, rom'd, unlocked CID . everything. since i flashed ARHD my signal has had more issues and switched back and forth from H to 3g alot. I also get higher ping and slower data test speeds with the new ROM

Then how come my signal was better and I got 2mbps faster DL before i updated?

I've messed around with radio files and ril's with my Bell Sensation (on Bell) and thus far for signal I'm using Radio_11.69B.3504.00U_11.24.3504.10_M and RIL HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ
I did notice variations in signal numbers when trying out different radio's and ril's.

I chose this radio because T989 users were saying they got better signal on this than even on Blaze radios. Or something like that. I'd link it but I spent like 7 hours fighting with it, way past my normal bed time, so I hardly remember anything. Here is a screenshot of my phone running the radio to prove it isn't a brick-maker. I also do not know if this supports 3G/4G, because as you can see my tower is EDGE :/

I'm gonna test it here in Vegas as soon it's done charging and nandroid backup. Hopefully, you get 3g/faux-g soon.
Yep can confirm that this radio works with faux-g here in Vegas. It's a little slow right now in the part of town where I'm living but workable. To the OP, radios are important for the type of ROM you want to be using. For example, a GB ROM depends on a GB radio and the same goes for ICS/JB ROMS.

I'd be content with reliable 2G. According to mapping apps there is a whole 1 tower here, 2G, and barely usable. Many times it will show 1 bar and still say 'Emergency Calls Only' >.>
I flashed a T989 ROM to enable Wifi Calling, but I need a new SIM card from T-Mobile (a 'GBA SIM'). It took a while with a bunch of phone tag across T-Mo departments, but I think I finally have a 'GBA SIM' coming at the cost of $0.99. Will report.

My phone reports that the mobile network type is "EDGE:2". I've assumed that this means I am not in a 3G area. The T-Mo coverage map shows the majority of my area as 2G. There is one small light green spot (assumingly 3g?) over my house, but I think this is just an error on the map. Therefore I am unable to properly test for 3G/4G connectivity.
I've also asked T-Mo if there was any plans to upgrade our tower to 3G, and unlike AT&T who would quickly counter with "but we have 3G in your area!", T-Mo sent me to some activist page to start a local rally to convince local officials to upgrade coverage. I guess this is their way of admitting it is, in fact, a 2g tower.
I've also changed my radio back to T989. I'm not sure if it was a radio issue or what but it seems after a few hours the phone would lose service completely. I'm still testing stuff.

What is the average signal strength that you usually get? Also , if I read correctly, you are now using the stock t989 radio on the skyrocket? Which would mean GB?

this radio (UVLH1, 4.0.4 ICS latest T989 radio) is also doing the same thing as the note radio. After a while (3-5 hours) the status bar will show service (2-3 bars, even fluctuate) but the system is "Searching" and calls and txts are missed. Need a stable radio...
edit 2: I guess technically I could just ust the original AT&T radio since I only get 2G here anyway, and T-Mobile is re-farming so 3G will eventually work on 1900mhz., the 1700/2100 is going to LTE like it should, thus our skyrockets on AT&T radio should technically be able to get T-Mobile 4G LTE when its available
edit 3: rogers (I727TR) radio probably better than AT&T for the sake of rat unlocked
edit 4: removed edit 1, just gonna use I727R UCLD2

OK. Sorry that the radios didn't really work out. I do encounter some network disconnects here but not a total dealbreaker. I guess we'll have to wait for T-Mobile. On a sidenote, I am finding I have better coverage with this radio.

I do like T-Mobile but I will watch from StraightTalk (AT&T Sim) and try again when they grow some more here. I need mobile data to work. I wouldn't mind 30kB/s but I only accomplished that once. Heck I'd even take 5kB/s if it didn't take over 2 minutes to establish one connection. I can't even use MMS most the time because it seems to require 4+ (-90) bars of service before EDGE will even establish a connection.
Edit: Got my 'GBA SIM' today for Wifi Calling. Works great on this ROM combo. I just wish I had mobile internet. I may do some tests as I am secretly hoping this GBA SIM has 3G/4G and maybe my old SIM was a 2G sim.
For archival reference in case I go back to AT&T ROMs, and my sig changes, Wifi calling for T-Mobile works on our Skyrockets using Faux123 ICS T989 Kernel for I727 MOD v001 and SGH-T989 UVLE1 Infamous Resurrection ROM

Buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from the Google Playstore for only 349.00. Its unlocked and works with both ATT and TMobile 4G.
That's what I did for my wife and using a Flashed Skyrocket on T-Moile 4G has been flaky at best.

[Q] Flashing T-Mobile radio onto at&t skyrocket

I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection.
I flashed the radio UVLI1 in hopes that I would get lucky but that caused my bars to go away to be replaced by a slashed circle. I flashed back to UCMC1 which is showing the bars, but still no data connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out. Any help please?

Don't double post

I think UCMC1 and UXUMA7 are ATT and Rogers radios respectively. UVLI1 is the T-Mobile SGS2 ICS radio, which may not work on your JellyBean rom.
Try UVMC6, which is the radio for T-Mobile's SGS2 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here:

Results can never be guaranteed, but this is the radio I use, and it has worked fine on every single rom I've tried, Touchwiz or AOSP, even in areas w/o the 1900Mhz refarm.

Can I flash the radio change w/out having my phone rooted?

Your phone must have a custom recovery to flash radio files...

It has twrp... that counts right? It doesn't need to be rooted, does it? I'm a computer nerd... phones aren't my thing. Give a girl a break, lol.

Yes ... TWRP or CWM are fine...
Rooting is something different, but for radio flash you have enough...

Would you mind telling me how I flash it or point me to a thread that will walk me through it quickly? Please & thank you!

Nevermind! I think I figured it out!

If I have a AT&T skyrocket and have a T-Mobile sim, should I use this radio? Or just stick with the UX, I am currently running?

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).

The UX gave me faster data speeds. Call clarity is about the same. I see 4G more than with the UC radio... I was wondering about the T-Mobile radio

T-Mobile radios would give you the ability to connect to T-Mobile 3G using AWS bands 1700/2100 Mhz Band4...And no LTE (or 4G) of course since the Hercules and Blaze (or the note one from TM) devices have no LTE radio chip...
If you live in an area in which T-Mobile deployed their new LTE(and most likely they already refarmed the PCS 1900 band), use UCMC1 or the UXMA7 radio,whichever you find better...Setting the apn to fast.t-mobile.com is essential for sure to get the service...
If you live in an area that T-Mobile is still at their 3G service (AWS bands for HSPA+) use the newest blaze JB radio...
Edit : when you say faster data speeds UX vs UC , any speed vs speed measurement you can share ? probably I didn't give each radio enough testing and jumped to conclude that they have same data speeds !

:good:
