I've noticed on aokp that I only see H or 4G. I'm getting speeds of about 20mbps. Is 4G used to show LTE or H+?
Thanks
Edit: There's also the 3G icon. I assume it stands for HSPA, H stands for HSPA+, and 4G for LTE?

4G = lte. At&t just used 4G liberally to describe their hspa+ network when they didn't have lte but sprint had wimax but hspa+ was never really 4th generation it was more like 3.5g. But then at&t got lte and couldn't go and say "we have REAL 4G now" (since iphone4 isn't lte)

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I take it my edit was correct then? 3G, H is for H+, and as you stated 4G for LTE?

Yep. And E is edge. (2g). That messed me up the first time I saw it (i was inside a hospital in midtown Atlanta) I thought it meant emergency calls only but then I was getting text messages and figured it out.

Does the Galaxy S 4G get At&t 3G when its unlocked. I unlocked it and it gets at&t 3g. Is it possible?
Galaxy S 4G
Uh...did you just answer your own question?
You just said you get 3g on your unlocked SGS4G.
People are telling me its not possible. I'd like to know if it is. Mine gets it but does it really get it or is the indicador wrong?

Does it seem like edge network speed. You would be able to tell the difference.

Its fairly quick. Not edge at all. Anyways I guess I did answer it myself just wanted to see if it was possible. Wasn't like that before I sent it in to Samsung so idk...
Galaxy S 4G
The Galaxy S 4G has 3g speed on AT&T 1900mhz band but not on the 850mhz band, where it will be Edge Speed.
I think this was answered a long time ago in one if these threads.

Hi, first i just wanna say sorry if my english its pretty bad.
I just wonder if anyone knows how to activate the 4G because i just have 4 options:
Only 2G
Only 3G
Automatic 2G/3G
Automatic 2G/3G/4G
But there's no "only 4G" option, and im always on H+
And yes actually my company offered 4G services where i live, btw im from Mexico and my company is Telcel.
But i was looking for some kind of code to activate 4G and disable H+
My theory is... i got better signal with H+ thats why im always connected with that band.
So, if anyone of you could help me i will be glad

For me I get 4g all the time.....when I don't have 4g that's because I'm in a area that doesn't have 4g so it drops down to 3g

If u disabled H+ and 4g wasn't available.. u would have no service

I know, i love the 4G, but seems we got a lot of dow load speed because there's not a lot of people with a 4g phone now, maybe in a few months the download speed will be a little more... slow.

the real problem is that the version of LTE that Verizon handles is different from the version that handles Telcel, I've been investigating and no way to change it for now, that Verizon handles HD Maxx and until there is another company that can handle it and make a different version of the radio to change to support Telcel, no momentary solution. i'm from mty, send me a private message for a better explanation or explanation in spanish jajajajajaja

The stock modem (either UVLB7 or UVLH5) already has support for both T-mobile (1700 MHz) and AT&T (1900 MHz) bands. I used ST sim cards from both T-mobile and AT&T, and I was getting 3g and 4g (well, really 3g+) speeds from them. The highest speed on ST AT&T sim was ~6 mbps, and on ST T-mo sim was a whooping 15 mbps. The bottom line is that there are no other radio firmwares to flash.

First of all, T-Mobile no longer has contracts. Secondly, this isn't the place for this question. This should be in the networking forum.
T-Mobile don't have contracts since when?

The HTC Amaze gets 4G on the 1700/2100 MHz bands, not 1900MHz. Sorry, but you might be out of luck with the OG, since it has no 1700MHz band built in. It only picks up 1900MHz for T-Mobile's 3G/4G, which may not be in your area.
Unless your area has been refarmed for the 1900MHz band, you're only going to see EDGE (2G) speeds at best. Then again, if you have T-Mobile LTE in your area, then it should work on that if you find someone who can unlock the modem for you.
There are so many "ifs" here, that you would have been better off not buying this phone to use on T-Mobile, unless you know for a fact that you have a refarmed network, or LTE service.
I think you misinterpreted the 1900MHz thing. That is not a nation-wide thing. It is only supported in some markets, not all. If you don't know for certain, then you probably don't have it. Your Amaze getting 4G means absolutely nothing, since it does not run on the 1900MHz band in the first place.

If you're sure of that, then you should be fine with the OG. If I recall correctly, there's a modem hack to enable T-Mobile LTE on it. That is dependent on your local area actually having LTE in the first place, though.
So if chattanooga has been refarmed and I'm 20 min from there I should be fine?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Not necessarily. It depends entirely on the towers you connect to. If the towers in your area use 1700/2100MHz for HSPA+ connections, then your phone needs to support those bands. If the tower has been refarmed and is using 1900MHz for HSPA+, then you have your pick of pretty much every GSM phone on the planet. Call T-Mobile to find out, or get a hold of a Samsung S2 or better phone with the stock Touchwiz ROM. You can go into the diagnostics menu with *#197328640# in the dialer. There's a network frequency menu in there that will show you the bands you're connected to.
I just called them they said basically where ever I have 4g with my amaze I'll have 4g with any at&t phone so I'm saved

That's not true at all. The T-Mobile Amaze only gets 4G on AWS bands. It does not get the 1900MHz band at all, which is what AT&T phones get 3G/4G on. So, either your phone is an unbranded version, or the guy on the phone didn't know what he was talking about. It's not as cut and dry as they would have you believe.
My suggestion would be to make sure that if you buy a non T-Mobile phone, make sure you can return it if things don't go right. I hope that your area is a refarmed area, but unless a tech tells you straight up that the towers in your area are refarmedwith 100% certainty, make sure to cover your behind when buying a new device just in case.

Ok. Well the unbranded one does have 1900MHz built in. It's uncommon for anyone to have that one, since the Amaze ended up being a T-Mobile exclusive device. As far as the refarm goes, I'd still urge you to be cautious in making a purchase. Make sure you can test out the device for a short while within a return period, just in case.

4G is actually LTE. Some carriers do market HSPA as 4G, while HSPA is actually 3.5G.
This is an LTE phone so yes it does get 4G (LTE). All non AT&T roms have wifi & usb tethering.
AT&T roms do have hacks to enable tethering.
