I know I am a NOOB - please feel free to flame me, as I probably deserve it. I bought a perfectly nice and working Sensation 4G t-mobile phone. When I bought it stock and all (running ICS) it supported 4g connections. However, once I flashed to 6.7.X with the latest firmware 3.33 universal from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I then rooted, and then I installed 4ext recovery, then I did a super wipe, and then I then flashed to 6.7.X with beats audio and all was fine till I realized that I had no 4g access anymore :crying:
All I get is either an E or an H on top of my bars. Once in a while when I drive around I get a 3G - but no 4G anywhere. I called t-mobile support and I checked the coverage for my area and I am in prime 4G land!
So, was I not supposed to flash to the ROM or Firmware? I then tried using this radio as that was suggested at the end of the ARHD setup:
- HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!
That did not help
So, what should I do start all over? I really want 4G. I can use wi-fi just fine, but that is not what I bought this phone or service for - please help!
Thanks,
David
I ran the same Rom for 2 months with 4G service no problem.I used firmware 3.32.maybe try going back the f/w 3.32. Hope that helps buddy!!!

Usually I would take up the flame offer but I feel kind
The icons are just that, icons.
Example, if you flashed only the SystemUI.apk from the Tmobile ARHD ROM, the icons would say 4g because there are different icons for what tmobile sells as 4g as to what others class as H or H+
I think there is a flashable addon to enable the icons to the tmous ones in the 2nd post of ARHD.
3.32 TMOUS no joy
THANKS! for the idea! I tried it and 3.32 TMOUS is no joy still
Any other ideas? Must I really go to the 1.2.2 T-Mobile ROM to get 4G? I am using the 30 dollar pay as you go plan (100 minutes of talk and unlimited data - with capping), but I should be getting 4G!
Thanks again for all the help,
David
OK - sounds great...
Hello Jonny! Thanks! Now I see 2G I have not seen the H of old (or the 4G if I get lucky), will keep looking though.
Thanks!
David
Rock and roll
OK, it officially works! Thanks - I now see H/4G all I need to do is go to my backyard versus anywhere in my house - but that is all about the coverage - right? Not the radio in anyway - I would suppose.
Thanks,
David

Ok...so I just came from the Vibrant...so I'm new to this. Please be nice. lol. Anyways...I've tried two roms now on the HTC Sensation 4g first the Revolution HD Rom then the Coredroid rom. Both roms aren't identifying my phone as the 4g model rather the original Sensation. I cannot find where to correct this. Please help.

Can you shed a bit more info on what you mean. I suspect you see your phone in phone identity as either a z710e or z710a, is that correct?
Whenever I try to flash both roms during the flash via CWR the installer says "sensation detected no sensation 4g files installed." Then when it boots up I go to check the phones ID and sure enough it's z710e.

ok, What version of CWR are you using. It should be the blue 4.0.1.4.
Are you also doing a full wipe before flashing?
Will try and work with you on this.
From my understanding the Z710e is the 4G model.
Using the CWR 4014 blue version. And yes doing complete and full wipe each time...I just reinstalled Coredroid and now the phone ID is showing sensation 4g but the build.prop file isn't showing the 4g files. I'm so lost. :/
That's because both of those Roms use European WWE Roms as a base, if you want your phone is to be identified as the sensation 4g on those Roms you have to edit your build prop, or flash a tmobile base custom ROM.....

If I use the coredroid rom will my phone still detect 4g and use the 4g network here in Kansas City?

Yes, all the roms here will work with Tmobile 4g speeds.
But remember some roms will have a H instead of 4g symbol in the status bar but you are still getting 4g speeds, but most roms have an addon zip to change it to a 4g icon.
So basically the phone is still 4g capable and uses 4g just doesn't show it under the build.prop files? Now another question is this, the files that are suppose to be for the 4g model from that rom...how do I get those installed? The installer isn't id my phone as 4g so it's not installing the 4g files.

Im not using that rom and never tried it but if you post this question in that thread im sure someone there will help you out.
Hey, im running 3.1 of Android Revolution HD on my new 4g Sensation and I don't seem to have 4g access ever since I've rooted my phone. Beforehand on stock there was a little plus next to my mobile data symbol but now its gone.
The speed test app also showed lackluster results, my download speed was like 534kb while upload was around 700 kb.
I am assuming there is an easy solution to this, maybe turn it on in settings or something. (I just checked the 4g coverage for my area and apparently I have 21 mbps download speeds.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!!!
(I am with Bell Aliant in Canada by the way)
May depend on the radio you have installed. Just something every user has to play with. H is also the same thing as 4G with t-mobile. You also cant go according to what they say you can get either. It's all in the hspa+/4G dispute.
Ohhhhh, yes it must be the radio then. Why does the Developer of Revolution HD recomend using the radio listed with his rom? Apparently I lost 4 g access by installing it.
So, by uninstalling it and reinstalling my old radio I should regain 4g access right?
Also, what downfalls are there to using a stock radio?
Thanks!

Not necessarily, the radio that Mike recommends with his ROM is the same radio that is coming with the OTA update from T-Mobile.
I would check to see what your RIL is, I bet it is 162 and you may want to change it to 169 and see if that helps first.
Wouldn't using non-matching ril file cause problems? Can you post the command to check what ril you have for reference please?

Mike's ROM by default has RIL 169 but when it runs the script to see if your phone is t-Mobile 4G or not it changes the RIL to 162 if it is a t-mobile 4G and leaves it at 169 if it is not a t-mobile 4G.
To check to see what RIL you have run getprop "gsm.version.ril-impl" in Terminal Emulator or adb shell and it will print out the RIL version!
Nice. I have 162 but have a tmous 4G sensation. I have the radio in his op so is it ok to run that radio with the 169 ril?

Yes it is, the default RIL in his ROM is 169 and when it senses you have a T-Mobile 4G is switches it to RIL 162. I ran 162 for a while then switched to 169 and am trying it out today.
Cool. Thanks. Will try as well

Hello-
In the AHRD thread there is a T Mobile patch for better signal and data speeds. I'm not having luck with it. It's slowed my phone down.
Any Suggestions on how to remove it? I restored my phone to a previous backup and I'm still having the performance loss.
(- HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this (it's an additional link) for better signal and data speeds!)
Thanks for your help

This usually only happens when you flash a GB radio in ICS, or an ICS radio in GB. Try to flash a stock ICS radio. On the Sensation, radios seem to make little difference.
where can i find a stock ics radio
Thanks dude got it figured out! Thanks for the suggestion! Worked once I found the five ics radios

He might not have been affected by the outage though. Some people lost EDGE and HSPA+, others lost just HSPA+ and the rest didn't lose anything.

Yep same thing here. I am on T-Mobile but no 4g. More or less happened when I upgraded to the new Hboot 2.15. I have since downgraded with a RUU file. And installed newest venom Rom. But I can't connect faster than EDGE. I have read on the T-Mobile forums that people had this problem when upgrading to jellybean. It is a known problem, butan I wish there was a fix. It sucks.
So ?

Maybe I am missing something but the fix for "stuck on Edge" and not getting 4G is not there at the link you posted above.
to the OP of this thread - yes, this seems to be a known problem. I too lost my 4G when I upgraded from Stock (on my TMO HTC ONE S) to custom roms (4.1.2) - no matter what I did, I was never able to get 4g working. .. wish there was a fix for this but there isn't.....
Now.. I know that a different radio (not the one on my phone) gives you 4G - the trick is to find a flash for this particular radio and also (someone corrects me if i am wrong) but you gotta be S-OFF if you want to flash radio - I am not S-OFF so even if I find this radio (version : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22) I won't be able to flash it... sucks...
Anyone knows / can post a link to where we can get this radio : RADIO-1.11t.50.02.22 ...
