[Q] Why does my Sensation only show 4G and 2G?

Hey guys,
I have a T-Mobile Sensation 4G and was wondering why does the phone only show 4G, 2G, and G as a my service? I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I would get 3G, Edge, and G. Does this mean everytime there is no 4G I automatically go down to 2G? Does the Sensation not support 3G? Is there a way to change this?
Thanks for your help guys. Hoping to figure this out.

Mine does the same. It's perfectly normal too since t-mobile's "4G" is technically just a beefed up 3G which means you're connected to the same towers that you were before with your old phone. If you have 4G in your area it means that your 3G towers are your new 4G towers. So if you have no 4G then you literally have no 3G and with switch to 2G. Make sense?

Let me go a step further to describe/explain our new signal layout.
4G = 4G, H or 3G
2G = Edge
G = 1G, 1x
I hope that makes it a bit easier to understand,.

I am not to sure about Telus but with Nexus S it would show an H when I was connected to 4G on Rogers.

Ok is ther any way to check what network I'm connected to HSPA or 4G because I tried the speed test and my download speeds are the same if not less than I was getting on my desire HD with HSPA (3g+)

hey guys, where did you get the unlock code from?
I am purchasing a Bell sensation tomorrow. It will work on Rogers 3G right? they use same frequency

Which ROM support t-mobile 4G?

HI, first time posting please be easy on me.
I am looking for a ROM whcih can support Tmobile 4G network.
I have tried [LeeDROiD, Android Revolution HD, they both connect as " Edge" not 4G, does anyone knows how do I fix it?

Ive tried leedroid,insertcoin and virtuous. Im on 4g on all of them...

I don't believe that any ROMs would disable 4G. I'm currently using Virtuous and it's running great.
Check:
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile networks>Network Mode.
Is that set to GSM only? If so, change to GSM / WCDMA auto.
(it will appear as GSM only while WiFi calling is active)

4g has worked for me on rev hd and leedroid.

you must know that 4g is hspa+
you can go in to settings,about phone,software information,more,baseband to check if your radio shows P then your "4G" is enabled,if your radio shows "U",your "4G" is disabled.
For example,
10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3 hspa
10.43a.9007.00P_10.51.9007.27_M3 hspa+(and this is what you called 4G)

Thanks! you have answered my question!! Mine is P.
thanks!!

I'm on Leeroid and mine is U and I can see "H" and my speedtest showed speeds of 4.2mbps. Am I still getting regular 3G when I think I'm getting 4G?

[Q] ATT Inspire to Tmobile - will 4g work?

My friend got an HTC Inspire and then his dad changed them over to tmobile while he wasn't looking. He is only getting 2G speeds on the data side of the Inspire, is it at all possible for him to see 4g speeds on the Inspire by flashing something? Been trying to find out if it is possible or not. Apologies if this is an obvious answer.

this has been covered a 100times and even mentioned on tmobiles website. you can only get 2g because of the frequency bands.

As Darunion said it´s because of the 3G bands. T-mobile and AT&T 3G bands are not the same, so T-Mobile 3G phones won´t get 3G on AT&T network and vice versa.

Something really weird

alright i need some help i currently bought the htc inspire for att and i rooted it and unlocked it fot tmobile its running the stock rom for the htc inspire alright now to the nitty gritty i can call and recieve voice calls i cand view and send textmessages anywhere i go but i cant connect to 4g data anywhere i can connect to wifi no problem but i cant connect to cell phone data idk y can someone help me please im confused im a noob and i have no0 idea wat to do

is your mobile data on?

The AT&T HTC Inspire does not have T-Mobile 4G bands. Heck, it doesn't even have true 4G its just HSPA+ which is more like 3.5G.
It doesn't have T-Mobile 3G bands either, so you are stuck with edge.
