4G launched in India - General Questions and Answers

Hi, guys since Airtel has launched 4G in India for the first time, I would like to ask the fellows from Kolkata who are using the 4G services about their experiences and upload and download speeds, also are they (Airtel) launching any 4G compatible handset in India?

Other carriers data networks

Is there any way to use a carriers 3g network that doesn't have a contract agreement with at&t instead of only being able to use edge data in a non at&t coverage area?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it can't work on other networks because of the broadcast frequencies.

Sensation 4g question

Can this phone get 4g speed using a HSPA+ network???
It can go up to 14,4mbps. It's exactly the same as the european sensation, except the name.
I've used speed test and got 4 mbs down and 2 mbs up but I don't think I was in a good signal place

That's good to know.

No, you won't have hspa+ speed on AT&T. It doesn't have the right band for it. Only compatible in europe and tmobile US.

If you want to use it on at&t and get 3g/h, you need a bell sensation from Canada.

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

Me too. I have 3G activated and when I switch to 3G it shows me 3g but it is slower than the edge network. I get speed like 10kbps but the 3G speed in my nokia phone with the same carrier is 2-5mbps

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.
