Unless you got the T-Mobile US htc sensation 4g then you cant use 4g. Its not a driver thing, its a hardware + aerial thing

Um... the sensation regardless supports hspa+ (what T-Mobile calls 4g).
Op: do you see "H" when using mobile data?

Actually Hspa+ is not 4g, its referred to as 3.5g.
how do I know this? well in the uk ofcom are not auctioning the 4g spectrum until Q4 2012 at the earliest and I have the H symbol on my phone but it doesnt mean 4g because the 4g is not availible yet.
The important point is that HSPA+ is not 4G
To further elaborate on this 4g discussion:
In the US, AT&T actually calls HSPA+ '4g'.

Kinda basically wrong.

There's another one.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/ITU-says-LTE-WiMax-and-HSPA--are-now-officially-4G_id15435
The TMobile Sensation 4G is no different from other Sensations. It still only supports HSDPA 14mbps (only 16qam, no mimo/dc).
HSPA+ starts at 21mbps with 64qam. I believe it's getting more "acceptable" now for hspa+ to be called "4g" ahough.
So to reiterate, the Sensation 4G isn't 4G and not does support HSPA+.

I should have elaborated. In the UK we talk of hspa+ as being 3.5g and 4G as actually being 4G because of the 4G trials and spectrum auction. I had no idea that 4G meant hspa+ in the US and other countries so thanks for telling me that - they do say you learn a new thing everyday! and apoligies for any confusion I caused
That's true

4g is great around Chicago. Oak Brook should be covered without an issue. 3g speeds are hit or miss depending on congestion. Signal is great but speeds can lag.

Hey guys, I've been modding phones since the razer days so i have some grip on what im doing here yet im a bit vexxed at the current situation.
I Carefully rooted and upgraded my sensation to onceICS rom using revoltonary tool, the appropriate firmware and an eventual radio update(just in case)
Since installing that rom i have had NO 4g connectivity. Ive been stuck in 3g dispite having 4g on the stock rom in the same location...
UPDATE i just RUU'd back to stock and i have 4G again. Is it possible that the oneICS rom is botched? Im hesitant to redo the root/custom rom process again if im going to lose 4g but i really dont see how this would affect it lol.
PS Yes, i did a speed test before and after. On th stock rom i hit about 10mps at my window and on the custom roms i was hitting 1.6mps..
Were the two speed tested in the same location?? I have flashed almost everything posted on the development section(Always bored at work), and i never had this issue.
T-Mobile 4g is still 3g, but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed, which it does.
The 4g icon is actually lying, because its still based on 3g tech, just a faster back end. You're still getting your 4g speeds.

Lolol really? No man thats bs. I went from a nexus s (3g phone) to a 4g sensation and theres a huge difference in network speeds.

Did you miss the part where he said "but your phone's hardware has to support a higher speed"? Nexus did not have hardware support for higher speeds, Sensation does.
Get it?
It could be the Rom... Been seeing some complains about their signal strength is low when in ICS... That's why I'm still hesitant to upgrade... Try other Rom... I could be wrong though...

you missed the point completely. The nexus s doesn't support hspa+, so you'll never get any of the hspa+ speeds regardless of what you do.
The sensation, does. And the 4g/h icon is meaningless, as long as you're getting normal speeds. But the phone has to support hspa+ to get hspa+ speeds.

I didn't really care that much about LTE until I actually tested it out! I'm getting some crazy speeds in my area. Rogers just activated the LTE Data to my phone this afternoon. Here are my speed results...

Even during peak hours, i've been getting 25-30mbps. It's like i'm the only person on LTE in my area. My area is a hardcore Blackberry device neighborhood, so more LTE for me!
another that just switched from regular 6gb data to LTE 6 GB data
Nice speeds guy. Can't wait until I'm in an area with LTE here in the US. I get about 10-15Mbps consistently on my iPad 3 in HSPA+.

Still no LTE in my home but I get it when I go to my local mall I get solid HSPA+, around 3 mbps down. I'm really impressed.
LTE signal at home is so weak I won't even waste time uploading pic. I am only getting about 5-6mb down and 2mb up.

I'm curious why would you even want to use this phone on ATT? Barring some kind of weird fluke like you bought it from somewhere having a buy one get one free
sale.....
And then there is the obvious sarcastic reply, that it would be the same slow as molasses speed that all phones on AT&T's network have.

Phone is pentaband just like the Galaxy Nexus...speeds should be fine. ATT users and T-Mobile users alike have been using I727s and T989s on either network getting great speeds with the exception of the I727 having LTE capability
OP is simply asking for users to comment on their speeds

Mobilecityonline is selling them unlocked(Screenshot in this thread). I also called their customer service and I called T-Mobile both reps told me the phone supports the 3G spectrum in AT&T when unlocked.
Found it (I think),
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/files/PDF-UQXMBGKK1DV0EAZS.pdf
That lists it as quad-band for UMTS, bands I, II, IV, and V. And according to AT&T's wiki page, AT&T does bands II and V, so it should work on AT&T. T-Mo US seems to be bands I and IV.
Yay

Does anyone know when there will be 4g towers for Verizon in Omaha? Super tired of buying 4g devices and scooting along at what seems like a snails pace nowadays on 3g.

There is 4G LTE all over Omaha. I was using it just the other day. Look at the coverage map on Verizon's site.
Theoretically there's supposed to be 4g coverage wherever Verizon has 3g currently by the end of 2013. Dunno if that was just the rep spring his mouth off or if its true. I'm not holding my breath tho.
