No you might ever get h which is the samething as 4G.

you can lock on ONE signal by
Pressing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see phone information, go their you will then be able to access another pull down menu by where you see your current network signal, lock on the one you want , then scroll down press refresh and your good to go!

again, it's normal. The OP isn't talking about switching between gsm and wcdma

what do you mean what does that do?
it allows me to lock on one signal so it does not continue switching back and forth. Works for me.....

what did you set it to ?
and for some odd reason i get full bars 2g and 1-2 bars 4g
WCDMA only which gives me H or 4G but its a personal preference. I got tired of my device switching to EDGE, try to surf the web on EDGE, not fun! After I learned how to lock the signal I've been on H ever since! Thanks to a friend showing me this trick! Just thought I'd pass it on to you. Works for me and my complaint was similar to yours. Let me know if it solved your problem please. I honestly think it will. Just trying to help

thing is different areas get stronger and weaker signals i
Am not familiar with your area but its worth a try if the switching is a bother.sounds like one signal is stronger just as in my case however switching to wdcma or H I have 5 bars.

ya i see what it does but for some reason signal is just spotty at my house it fluctuates between 1-2 bard then drops to none and repeat.. t mo just must be bad in my area
I'm sorry it didn't work! Seems tmobile is spotty everywhere! They really need to work on that!

I was wondering is there anyway to disable the 4g on my inspire and just use 3g? My inspire is rooted with stock Rom

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and you can choose your preffered network type
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
which would be?
4g is 3g on the inspire. There is no separate modem for 4g like the EVO.

Wow that's just stupid but in the manual it shows two separate icons for 4g/3g

GSM only will turn you to E(2g).
If you change the phone to GSM only, restart it. (turn it off and then on) Otherwise it will auto switch back to H in about a minute.
I noticed that the roms and themes being built have 3G icon in there screenshots. If you have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation, will it say 4G or 3G? I'm assuming 3G. Is there away to change that?
Depends on rom. Mine says H (insertcoin).

It depends on your ROM. Cyanogenmod differentiates between 3g, hspa and hspa+ (what tmobile calls 4g). I assume that when the ROM makers start really developing, there will be an easy way to tell.
As for the screenshots, maybe the dev only lives in a 3g area.

i stiil have stock rom and it always show 4g
The sensation does not have a 3g logo. Even when its on hspa it says 4g which kinda sucks. I bet roms will be able to show all icons

I believe the European version does.
I'm wondering if it's as easy as swapping out the file that the icons are in, like it was on WM.
I actually like seeing 4G all the time. Helps my IPhone superiority complex a bit. LOL

I would normally see H hahah. I don't get these devs making sense roms when the stock phone is sense...
I am in the same situation. Since I have a custom rom i have 3G icon. Before with my rom operator Bell Canada had H+ icon.Can someone explain to me??
yes most say "H" if you are in a 4g area
Luckily its really simple to change it to 4G if you wish, I as well as others have uploaded the modified file
destructionb : where? and how
Here's one grabbed from another thread.
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
Reboot and you will have the 4G icon back.
I'm using coredroid and mine say 4g.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Im not rooted but the other day my 4 disappeared and it only said "G". I was like WTF, restarted the phone and it fixed it.
I'm used to the H from CyanogenMod since that's what the signal actually is...
I'm on Bell using CoreDroid and as far as I can tell it only goes up to H now instead of H+ like it did when it was stock.

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
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

When I do the *#*#4636#*#* it says my GPRS isn't active. My signal is really bad and didn't know it it would help if it was switched on. But how do I switch it on?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Make sure it is set to GSM/HSPA Auto
It's all ready set as that, well it says gms/v something lol

When you say signal, did you mean for normal phone use or data ?

I flashed to a new Rom which someone gave me on another post. The signal for normal phone use

I updated to ICS. Now I am finding that the cell strength is lower than it was. I was getting 4/5 bars, now 3/4. Some areas now I loose connection. The conversations are not as clear as they were. The other Sensation in the house still has the 4/5 bars inside. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks
This happen to me with my stock rom. Funny thing is as soon as I flashed my custom rom my problem was over! I suddenly began receiving H! The true 4g! I was soon happy! No more low cell signal!

If your a tmo customer, call and ask them about their signal booster. Its free and it goes in your home and boosts your signal!

Maybe it's simply more accurate with ICS.

Which ICS rom are you using?
I was using ARHD and it showed ~2 bars less than when I use InsertCoin. Useable reception was the same but voice calls under ARHD were being forwarded to voice mail when it was at 0 bars (but still able to make calls) and using data at the same time (yes, data was fine when it said 0).
ICS Version
I just installed the OTA version from T-mobile.
