My Inspire almost always can't get more than .50 on the Speedtest. When I used my Captivate when I get 3.00 to 4.00, my Inspire just stops at .50. It seems like it can easily go faster but just something is blocking it. On wifi, it gets Captivate speeds, maybe a little slower. But anywhere my Cappy got a pretty high score. My Inspire just can't get passed around .50. What is wrong?
Dail *#*#4636*#*# under phone info you should set it to wcdma
Preffered. Is your signal icon showing h+?
Stock inspire 4G
Try making a copy of the APN and remove the proxy settings, see if that makes any difference.

Yes it shows the H+, and when I type that number in the dialer, nothing happends. when I call it, it says "MMI code started." then I press ok and it shows "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

How do I do that, and which one do I do? MEdia Net, or MMS?
i had an issue where my data didn't work at all on the phone, right out of the box. perhaps try making a new apn using these settings.
i can get about 3.5mb/s dl and 1.5mb/s ul on my inspire.

Not sure how you're getting 1.5mb up without rooting to enable the HSUPA
EDIT: I see you're rooted. you're not comparing the apples-to-apples for this user with your response. He's not rooted I assume, so to suggest that he should be seeing the same thing as you doesn't make much sense, since you're rooted to bypass the stock config disabling the HSUPA for the upload speed.

That works, thanks Cool menu to know about, thank you.
I am now in Germany and I bought myseld a Sensation yesterday.
It is: Sim Free , Without contract but with only Vodafone branding (same as many of you )
Since I inserted my simcard into the Sensation, I did NOT see a single bar of 3G/HSDPA yet !!!
However I use the same card on my Incredible S, and I get full bar 3G/HSDPA almost everywhere, then I insert the car into my Sensation absolutely no 3G/HSPDA and therefore I can not read my e-mails, my weather won`t update etc etc.
Could this be because I am roaming at the moment ? Anybody have similar issues, this is for sure Phone related as the same simcard works on my Inc S perfectly well.
I am suspecting the firmware of Vodafone has a BUG on 3G/HSDPA when roaming !!! any of you get 3G when roaming on your Sensation ?
Had the same type of problem and resolve it creating a new apn in settings. My operator wasn't recognise fine by the phone (gsm ok but no data) : virgin mobile France (virtual operator from Orange France).
For apn data you can probably found it on your operator website.
Don't know if this is really your problem but just in case ...

Bravo !!
You are clever, because this is a brand new phone and I bought it while i was abroad (roaming) my new sensation did not get the apn setting from my provider automatically. So once manually activating it , it works like a charm. Thank you.
Now all i need is S-OFF the sensation
@ ikhzter just saw your post too
I'd be willing to try this. Would either of you happen to know how to add a new APN? And also, what settings should I put in for T-Mobile US? I can only get Edge speeds, too. I have tried everything else it seems, so this couldn't hurt lol

I think it's not possible because EU Sensation doesn't have AWS band. At least GSMArena says so. I heard people saying EU Sensation also has AWS band so I'm not really sure.

Hi All,
I took unlocked phone HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T. I recently updated to Andriod version 2.3.3. I am not able to find Network type selection like GSM/WCDMA etc.. under Mobile network because of this I am not getting 3G speeds even 3G is enabled on my phone.
It is showing 'E' icon on the phone instead of 'H'.
When contacted HTC they are telling that the device built in a way that it selects 2G/3G based on the availability but it is not showing 3G even though it is available.
The device is not yet rooted. Is there any way to get this option without rooting device?
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi
If you don't have that option here:
homescreen > menu button > settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > network mode
then you are not in a 3G area.
I have a feeling this has to do with hardware frequencies. This is me just guessing. You bought an unlocked inspire to use on a different carrier. If your in the us with tmo your stuck on edge. If your using this phone outside northamerica your stuck on edge. The rest of the world uses different frequencies. No way to change it unless you change phones
Have u tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* & choosing the option that way?

Hi, I tried this option and set the network mode to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)". I turned off and turned on the radio also. I even tried a restart of the device ( HTC Inspire 4g ATT ). But I still get connected to 2G networks only
Can you please help if there is any other way out ? Did anyone get to resolve this issue ?

my phone will drop connection and then not reconnect. no voice, no data. (wifi still works)
what I've tried:
1. Different radios/firmware
2. different roms
3. different preferred network types
4. switching airplane mode on and off
what I haven't tried:
1. different sim
2. calling tmobile for suggestions
What else could cause this problem?
it could be a hardware issue
Hello,
I have the same issue than you !
I am facing issues such as call drop and no 3G data connection in some area in my region since I have 5 signal bar and H letter displayed (HSDPA connection)...
I have found a workaround consisting in:
1 - Switching to GSM Only mode (2G Only)
2 - Desabling Mobile Data Connection
Then it works, I can pass and receive voice call ...
Regards,
Nino
I'm new to the Sensation and having the exact same issue.
Followed the stickies in the Dev section to S-OFF, root and bypass SIM lock and then once the SIM card is inserted I get only GSM and no data.
If you use *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer and go to Phone Information do you notice that it always switches to WCDMA preferred? I change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL like all my other Android devices (on Rogers Wireless) and it disconnects, reconnects but only for GSM and no data. It sometimes says it's connected to EDGE or HSPA but no icon at the top right and then it reverts back to GSM.
I have also tried flashing virtually every firmware, ensuring that the radio and RILs match (I had an HTC Desire Z so the HTC phones are not new to me entirely). I don't know what else to do. I tried a Bell SIM card and tried all of the same options to no avail.
I really hope someone can figure this out. I don't want to have destroyed a phone that I just bought for my wife. Her Atrix broke and I purchased that outright as well, so this is really killing my wallet. I've been through about 10 Android devices and I wouldn't say I'm a newb, but I really do feel like one right now. This sucks!
Get a new sim from tmo if it's over 2 phones old.

Slight problem: This doesn't work. That very same thread reveals that the phone will just override whatever you choose.
even though your not in a lte area, it isnt searching for the signal. Proven from other members already. So dont worry about it. If your not using data, just turn off mobile data for now.
I even tried to make the APN that a lot of people are having luck with, but where I live there is constantly an LTE signal so it got it anyways even with the HSPA+ APN I made for some reason. My battery life is bad with LTE but the speed is amazing.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
I'm trying to set the HSPA-only APN on my phone, since my phone keeps trying extra hard to get on the little LTE it can find here, and it's MURDERING my battery.
Seems AT&T locked the APN's, too. I can't select anything other than the default AT&T profile.
I think you guys could try the patch to convert to Rogers Version in dev section... (root required)
not sure if you guys could flash a Rogers RUU or not (s-off required)
at least ATT stock rom, its hard to disable LTE...
Made a new APN with the exact same settings as the default but with APN Type set to *. Speeds are about the same as my gsii.
Nvm, that didn't work. Ill have to go back to the wap.cingular settings.
Try editing the build.prop and changing the ro.telephony.default_network setting to 0. The default value set by AT&T should've been 9, indicating that the device should connect to LTE > WCDMA > GSM networks in that order. Setting it to 0 reconfigures the device to prefer WCDMA networks over GSM and LTE networks.
The changed setting should read: ro.telephony.default_network=0

Reboot, and you should be on HSPA+.

If you do not live in an LTE area then there is no reason to disable LTE on the phone. AT&T uses an integrated "circuit switched fallback" on the radio which defaults to UMTS/HSPA(+) when not in an LTE area.
The only people who would benefit from an LTE "on/off" switch would be people who do live in an LTE area so that they can disable it when not using the phone for simple sync procedures.

I live in a really annoying place in NJ where it is constantly switching between LTE (1 bar) and HSPA+ (4 bars). I can literally watch my battery drain. And I can barely use data since its constantly switching back and forth.
After some searching, I found that you can go to the APN settings, create a new profile, change the "Name" to whatever (I chose AT&T HSPA+) and change the "APN" field to "phone" without quotation marks.
Leave everything else defaulted to the normal values.
Then save the APN and go back to the APN screen and click on the little white radio button on the right of the APN you created (be sure to click on the radio button, not the whole bar).
Reboot. I just did this today so I will see how it affects my battery life.
Build.prop is the Only Correct Method

^This.
Changing the apn will make your data slower, but not alter your radio's behavior. Changing the build.prop will keep your radio from looking for anything else once it finds a WCDMA (UMTS, 3G) connection.
Note that you need to find and change all occurrences of ro.telephony.default_network to 0. The build.prop on AT&T RUUs includes it multiple times with different values.

s-off not required for a different ruu, but supercid is. We can currently get supercid.
Tried all methods suggested here but was unable to turn off LTE. It kills battery as fast as it downloads the data.
