Hello
I ran speed test today.
It was on 3G mode which I believe HSUPA(supports 5.76Mbits/sec), but I got 11Mbits/sec down somehow.
Now I am wondering the signal doesn't mean anything??
It wasn't showing H on signal. It was showing 3G.
I will attach proof for that.

I find this below to work better than the *#*#4636#*#*. Seems like 3G is stable now. I have yet to see the 1x since I did this. It does turn 4G completely off though. From what HTC support says they are working on a fix for the radio, camcorder, txt, and battery issues. I was told an update when it comes should set it back to LTE. We don't have 4G yet so a good 3G signal that sticks instead of dropping out to 1x is fine by me til they get it fixed.

Are you on WiFi, because ehrp whatever is what allows you to talk and surf, putting it on rev a is just putting the phone on the old non talk and diem network.
Wifi off and it still works. Must be that it just turns the 4G off. I get email, txt, can put the wife on speaker and look at forums on the web and browse sites no problem.

I thought it was known that you can use 3G and talk on this phone at the same time. You don't need 4G. I used it once just to see that I could. I'll probably never use it again.
ehrpd is not the talk and surf thing. It makes the handoff between 3g and LTE work properly. Without ehrpd all your data connections will reset when you go between evdo and lte
All this like does is show you how to set your tb so it will stay on 3G and not 1x, which it kills the 4G. I see no point in having 4G search if I'm not in a 4G area. Plus it helps that battery issue a bit too.

Why am I always on edge when my captivate had 3G?

Welcome to the death star. We haven't had good reception since the rebels blew it up.
Always on edge at my house.
Have a few beers...
Call at&t and complain to them. They might send you a free microcell.

Root and change the radio to a newer version for an extra 10 db or so. If not able then use wifi.

Have you tried changing the setting to wcdma only? I was working in downtown Boston and my phone would lose signal all the time and after I changed it to wcdma it seemed to hold the signal better
Setting>wireless> mobile network?

How old is your SIM card? I've read that outdated cards aren't able to utilize 3/4G & getting a new one from the vendor (T-Mobile, etc.) can fix it.
sometimes 3G signal is too weak so phone automatically switches to EDGE to improve signal. Try go outside where signal is better.
Also check if your APN is set correctly

I just bought it two days ago. And i'm checking inside outside up and down. Still on the edge network.

Does your vendor's site show you a coverage map? You might be in a location too weak to get 3G.
yes it shows 95814 zip code which is a major metro area (downtown sacramento california), to be in the "best" zone. now i did some tutorial explain how to enable to 850mHz band but alas, no luck. :/ this sucks
I rooted my T-mobile galaxy blaze 4g and installed ICS 2.3.6. A short time later I upgraded to CM10.0.0. It was there that I noticed that I lost my 4G capability. I only have 2G/3G service now. Where did it go and how can I get it back? Please help!

Go into settings/wireless/more/mobile networks/network mode and check mark the one with lte. This should solve your problem
Did that but still showing 2G/3G and an H+ for my network connectivity. Could it be because T Mobile does not recognize this particular ROM yet and therefore has not authorized it to carry 4g? Kind of at a loss as what to do anybody with other suggestions please.

H+ is 4g

OK cool. I hate to belabor this topic but it why is the 4g intermittent and 3g and 2g seem to be default? It only goes into H+ intermittently it's in very few circumstances. Primarily remains in 3g and menu allows me to go down to 2g. I'm pretty new, I've done a lot of reading, I'm just trying to understand. Thank you for all your help.

Its just as frequent as your last ics , the difference is 4g from T-Mobile never leaves the screen but you were still alternating 3g/4g just the same. Another thing is T-Mobile has less 4g towers than say sprint or atnt sooo really nothings changed. Enjoy !!!
TMO ROMs show 4G full time to avoid panic.
TMO calls HSPA14 and up "4G".
H+ is HSPA+21 and higher.
Phone automatically ramps down to H or "3G" when data connection is more or less idle. Under use, it'll ramp up to H+. Potential battery saving...
Nothing has changed compared with before, except the dummy icon.
Anybody else having issues with LTE. On my phone it always wants to revert to H or H+ I have to cycle airplane mode to get LTE to come on pretty frequently. Anybody else seen issues with this?

that would be because in your area there is a better hspa+ connection than a lte connection. if you try forcing lte in that kind of situation, it could lower your battery life due to bad signal.
Ok, its just weird because my wife has the n5 too and she seems to be on LTE more than I am. And usually gets better speeds too. Maybe I will just take her place on the couch! By the way Simms do you EVER stop helping!?
