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
Have a god day
4g is only for data I believe
U need the other 2g -3g for voice
I could be wrong

I think H+ is a GSM version of 4g
Do a download speed test

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
I'm not sure what ur trying to do
If u disabled H+ and 4g wasn't available.. u would have no service

I thought there was something with the radio driver that will pick the best connection between 3g and 4g
I don't think u can mess with custom radio unless ur bootloader is unlocked..maybe a custom PRL actually

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

Hey guys could my sim card affect my speeds on att's data network? I have a sim i got about a year ago on a 3g phone, should i go get a new one?
And also, if i pop my sim into an old phone such as a razr and start a basic phone data unlimited pla., and then pop it back into my inapire, would it work at the same speed?
Please help, and please ask if you dobt understand anything!

AT&T lied.
I hear that there are 4g sims, but speeds don't seem to be effected by swapping.
The 4G sim card is only for LTE wince HSPA still uses 3G or 3.5G a new sim card will make no difference.

you dont really need a new sim. i am using my sim card from 2006 and i get 3-4Mbps download and 2Mbps upload on the ATT network. sim card really doesnt play into it from what i can tell.

Need help, Noob here.
Me and my wife just switch carrier from att to tmo-us. My wife got the old inspire 4g and I got the new htc sensation. We both got the unlimited talk,txt,data(4G) plan.
The inspire is rooted with stock rom, I just notice that it can only establish EDGE connection with a E(on top of up/down arrow) or E(on top of a check) on the status bar.
Since Im getting 4G connection on my sensation, I tried to swap sim cards but no luck. I've been lurking on this forum to search for a hint and I can take it from there but I cant find any......
Is this something that I have to tweak on the Inspire since I switch network or is this something to do with TMOUS side? That I need to call them..
I learned that 4G should be H or H+ doesnt matter but all Im getting is E. Speed test shows 0.3mbps down and and 0.1mbps up which is way off on 4G speed.
Any advice would be appreciated... Thanks in advance!
If your using an inspire 4g on a t Mobile network, you will only get E.

there is nothing they can do.
it is PHYSICALLY impossible to make the inspire work on anything higher than EDGE on TMOUS

What he said ^ the hardware antena is not able to pick up tmobile 3g or 4g bands.
Appreciate all the replies... I guess I cant do anything if it is hardware issue. Tsk..tsk..
Love the phone, hate the carrier
been using my phone for a few months now...but suddently this evening... I lost my 4g and only connects to my t-mobile via 2g. I try going to the settings....and when I select the WCDMA/GSM auto mode...I lose service (no bars)...but when I set to GSM only (2g), then I get good 2g signal....
Any thoughts?
I tried hard reset...nothing working
I have the same issue. True calling T-Mobile, they sent me a new sum card for free.

Maybe you went over your data cap and got throttled down to 2G?

I check my usage.. I'm only at 105mb...my cap is 2GB with 2g after the 2gb
Tmobile is most likely having network issues where u are. Try doing a battery pull and sim card pull. Wait 2 mins then put both back in. if that fails its a network issue.

Yeah, I had that happen when I first got the phone. It turned out to be something funky going on with my account on the corporate level. So that makes me think it's not the phone and you're due for a call with Big Magenta.

That's BS. Bring it to a T-Mobile store.

Just have the store put a sim card in and see if that clears up the problem.

its a good idea to just have an extra SIM in your desk in case you need to swap it out.
Update radios?

Try a different T-Mo SIM first to be sure. There are RUU's out there, just easier to work out the easy solutions first...
Same Issue (No solution)
Hey guys im having the same issue as OP and just wanted to piggy back ride for this thread. I recently bought the mytouch 4g slide for a wopping $25 by the person that i am and rooting i quickly rooted the mytouch and installed cyanogenmod. To my dismay i only receive Edge network before and after rooting i was wondering is it the phone it self as in APN settings or is it just plan old phone ?

Maybe T-Mobile finally moved on from the 3G bands designed for that phone.
Unless you are not getting data at all, then you have some APN's to set. Or... some older CM (IIRC) didn't have 3G.

Face this issue with the HTC Glacier months back. They have removed the 3G & 4G basebands from their towers. The only way possible is by unlocking the other bands with the "Qualcomm band unlock" mod/hack here on XDA

You would be better off getting ATT go phone sin. I'm getting good speeds hspa+. ATT will tell u it won't work. U will just need to change sim. I just went through the tmobile edge deal. That sucked. Slow well now on gophone

I also have the inspire 4g and the Internet is quite slow though I have simple mobile. So does that means that the phone only has fast speed on ATT?

No, simple mobile runs off of tmobiles network so your stuck on edge. Straight talk uses att so you'll actually get 3g with them

I use straight talk, and the internet is quite fast. HSDPA, my phone even recognizes and picks up the phones supposed 4G service at times depending on my location at time and question.. Certain APN settings can ALSO however, affect the speed, a few MB/s at most. When I have edge, my speed averages, .50 to 1.70 MB/s. Could even be your current baseband kernel.(Flashed Radio).
Okay guys, on the day I got my Infuse I thought I give it a try and put it on the Simple Mobile 3G network. So what ticks me is that I'm always stuck on a 2G network with a big "E" on my status bar. I even called Simple Mobile customer service and they said they can't fix that. Dammit, there has got to be some way to bypass AT&T. Help me out guys. Thanks.

that's just a prepay plan on t-mobile. the infuse will need an att or similar sim card. t-mobile has unique frequencies and features on there network. it is not att's fault. edge only is typical with att phones. try strait talk, they sell sims now and you can specify att compatible.
Yeah...nothing you can do except switch carriers...go to straight talk, its $45 a month for unlimited everything, just go to there website and order an att compatible sim.
Your pretty much guaranteed to get edge when using an att phone on t mobile, simply because they run in differnt cell frequencies or whatever you wanna call it

Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Now that I know, yeah I guess that sounds like a best solution is to just switch carriers. Then again I feel that I made a mistake by buying an Infuse. Dammit, should of gotten the Galax Epic 4G and flashed it to Cricket. But yup thanks guys.
I've been told you cant get 3g because the Infuse is a 4g phone. That could also be an issue as well. I ran into that problem when att had to replace my captivate with my infuse. This is what they told me.

That's not the issue at all...for one thing, the infuse isn't even real 4g...it runs on hspa+, hspa is 3g...so when you have "H+" you have 4g...when you have "H" you have 3g...when you have "E" you have edge/2g
These phones are backwards compatible...if they wernt then you would constantly lose data signal
