[Q] 4.0.4 no HSDPA? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have a problem.
With original OTA 4.0.4 I never see the H of HSDPA near the signal icon.
Is this normal?
I try put the sim on another phone and I can see the H!

It's normal, it can still use hsdpa though.

But why no "H"?
It's a graphic bug?

That's how it was built. Most custom ROMs include the H.

the HSPDA doesn't show up in CM 5.0.x series

I can see the "H" in the status bar while using Official android 1.5 sense UI in my house ,but when I switch to CM 5.0.7 , it only shows "3G" , does it mean that HSPDA is not suportted by CM ?

its an icon
3g and hsdpa are one and the same
the H is just something that some roms have and others dont
edit, alan beat me to it, =p
And you can make those icons pretty much into anything... like my 8G connection??? LOL

Make that a 4G and you can more realistically mess with friends.

Maybe it's more than an icon?
Turn to Settings => About Phone => Status =>Mobile Network Type, SenseUI shows "HSPDA" and CM shows "UMTS"...

yeaaa so UMTS is voice over 3g and HSDPA is the data part of 3g
maybe you should do some research on what the terms mean before you post?

Hsdpa is also referred to as 3.5G because there is a significant down and up load speed difference. Its still using the 3G infrastructure but is an updated version of it!
I'm pretty sure cyan, in the 5.*, has disabled the H icon and is only using the 3G icon because he was sick of seeing the icons constantly switching.
3G and HSDPA is not the same thing ... HSDPA is 3.5G, not 3G. In the stock ROM my magic sometimes changes from 3G to H. If it's the same, why does it changes? To look pretty? yeah ...
About the icon on the rom, don't know, maybe the rom doesn't support HSDPA, or maybe it changes to it without changing the icon.
I'm using cm 5.0.x and when I'm in a Hsdpa zone it still displays a 3G icon. You still get H speeds but without the sexy icon.

it is the same its just a damn ICON!! cyanogen him self said it.. In fact he did have the "H" icon in test 2 but took it out in test 3 because damn ignorant people didn't know what the f**k the "H" stood for and assumed they where getting no 3G support when in reality they where getting faster speeds.. and by the way just because your not seeing the "H" icon in cm 5xx builds dosent mean your not seeing the 3.5G speeds.. Cyanogen himself said the speed still there just took out the "H" icon due to the fact i have just stated..
I don't know much about these things but, in Alan's CM port the icon is 3G and on the phone Settings-About-Status mine shows mobile network as UMTS and not HSDPA.
With the old libhtc_ril.so from test2 it showed H and HSDPA in status screen.
Honestly
Can you guys read wikipedia
Then maybe you will get it?

Hello
My Nexus S on T mobile I9020T only shows "E" for edge or "3G" for UMTS and HSDPA (when I check my phone info in the about phone menu..BUt I saw some people screen shots and the H letter is there on the signal bars .. I am on ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM and stock XXKI1 radio by the way...
Do I miss something ? is it a mod or related to something else ?
Thanks

the H is enabled in many custom roms, you wont see it on stock. but, even though you dont see the H, its still connects to it when it should. the H is cosmetic(unless you dont have hspa in your area).

[Q] Nexus 5 and no data connection during call

Hello,
I've owned a Nexus 5 since day one.
I have realized that during call the data connection stops working,no H or E or G on signal icon. After call ends data connection starts working again.
What about you?Is it normal?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, that's normal... Switch to 3g/lte, it won't disconnect while you're on a call..

It's strange because I'm always in 3g and it happens anyway...
Can it be an operator setting?

It's a stupid Android thing. It's done it randomly for many versions

I haven't had an issue with data on a call with my Nexus 5... it drops me down to HSPA obviously, but I can still access the network.
No data connection !!

Does your phone show 4G LTE or 3G mobile data connection? If you have poor 4G reception and can only get 3G, then I think you can't have voice and internet at the same time, because 3G and voice service use the same radio, while 4G LTE uses a separate radio.

The Nexus 5 actually has a single transceiver/baseband that handles both LTE and GSM. Since it doesn't do VoLTE it drops to HSPA whenever you are on a call. GSM carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile in the US) can do voice and data simultaneously on HSPA.
EDIT: And since it does not support Voice + LTE at the same time, it cannot do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint.
The issue actually is that I nave no data connection and I'm covered by a hdspa network ,no LTE.
AMD when I'm in a call,cannot nave data activated...
Uff...

I managed verifying with another Sim and another carrier, it's possible to use data and voce at the same time.
For sure my problem is related to my carrier settings.
Thank you for your support!

H955 LTE cat 9. 4G++

Different sources have different info. Does H955 have LTE cat 9? And how to enable if it does? Also will icon change to 4g++ or stays 4g+? My provider have launched LTE cat 9, but seems that i cant test it. Also they tell that only samsung s6 s6 edge can be used... Possible to enable it on my device?
My provider still not provide lte in my zone.... You are lucky...
Lte cat 6 is supported by flex 2
Same speed of s6/s6 edge, 450Mbps

In my zone I have LTE + but don't have any proof on LTE ++...
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk
I tested few times and max what i can get on speedtest was ~150mbps. When they were introducing new lte to journalists the s6 showed almost 300mbps. As i understand LTE cat 9 is using all 3 bands 800 1800 and 2600MHz, is it possible that its somehow locked by stock firmware?
Last time bump. If i root is there any additional settings for LTE?

You'll be getting a full control of the device when you will have got it rooted but this is not giving you any kind of extended LTE options. Provided that the thing you are looking for is a matter of additional info you may add into some file or implement to device , of course the root will help you. But seriously do not root your device for this LTE purpose. By root you won't get such an option just because you are rooted

You need to make sure your operator supports Sub 6 ghz 5G and not mmwave 5G as OnePlus Nord doesn't support mmwave 5G
