[Q] Problem with data (HSPA) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've the i9020a model with cm10.1 and I noticed that few a weeks ago when I was on stock 4.1.2 I had no HSPA icon and my data would download perfect but now on cm data only downloads when the icon is on HSPA and doesn't work when the icon shows 3g network.
I don't think the problem is the carrier (i live in colombia) because the bands are the same in which the nexus works (850/1900).
What do you recommend me to do?
Thanks a lot!

It's perfectly normal.
In stock android the icon always indicates 3g, it never indicates H (hspa) even when it is on hspa. On cm the icon changes to show the difference. But I assure you that even on stock android your network changes to hspa when you download a file. You can see it in settings-about phone-status. So everything seems fine to me.

What happen to my 3G?

Ever since I been having my Inspire I never seen 3G show up on my status bar. I always see H+ available, H+ connected and E. Never seen 3G yet, what's up with that.

H+ is AT&T's work toward 4G and its faster than your 3G, they have provided this service to all their customers. This is something that happened a few weeks ago...

ATTs stock ROM uses an H+ icon to indicate connectivity to 3G (UMTS), 3.5G (HSDPA), and "4G" (HSPA+). They do this to make customers think that they're ocnnected to "4G" HSPA+ all the time, even when it's not available in your area. Stock ROM also has an E icon for EDGE. Most of the ported DHD ROMs have an E icon for EDGE, a 3G icon for UMTS, and an H icon for HSDPA and HSPA+. The only way you can tell for sure what network you're connected to is by going to Settings - About Phone - Network and looking at your Mobile network type. This will tell you which network you are actually connected to
H is the 3G icon. that is just the way att is displaying it. you wont see 3G as they are calling it H. H stands for HSDPA which is 3g, so no worries you are fine.

the H is enabled in many custom roms, you wont see it on stock. but, even though you dont see the H, its still connects to it when it should. the H is cosmetic(unless you dont have hspa in your area).

[Q] 4G-LTE not work

hello all ..
I have a question.
I have the i727 phone with Cyanogen and Rooted. 4g icon does not appear in the notification bar, the connection works flawlessly, appearing H, H +, 3G but not 4G icon. What does that mean? before when I was working the STOCK ROM 100% sure the 4G, also tell them that in my country there's Connect 4G. but I'm not sure what type of connection that handles the phone. I downloaded this: << radio att-I727-UCMC1-no-csc-no-ril-cwm >> and I've installed, but still the same. I've also changed the APN, choosing the type of APN I select LTE but in doing so cut the signal. (apparently the phone is not supported)
Details:
Before: ATT & T STOCK JB 4.1.2 Rooted
Now: cm-10.1-20130607-NIGHTLY-SuperSU skyrocket + Root file-0.93-Busybox-1.20.2
Is there a solution?
Excuse my writing, I did it with the help of google translator but stepping reviewing the words to match the text well.

Thank you!

The stock AT&T ROM shows 4G for HSPA/+ but 4GLTE when there's LTE available. Cyanogenmod reports the actual data connection. It shows H/H+ for HSPA/+ and 4G for LTE. That's probably the confusion.

far as I understand, ATT&T has a fault, shows 4G icon when in fact that is not a Connection Connect 4G. I mean, I understand that: 4G is not the same for H+ because H+ is actually 3.5G. it? is this correct?

Correct; AT&T shows 4G even when it is only actually 3.5G. You were probably only getting H+ all along, but AT&T's software misrepresents your connection.

finally! I get it now! ... thank you very much! it is unfortunate that these errors come from the factory that exist only to confuse people.
10 minutes ago, I called my local operator, and said that the 4G or LTE service is not enabled yet in my country. (Just right through usb modem for LTE notebook works here, but not for mobile phones) so which I now understand that 4G phone on the screen showed when it was actually connected to a 3.5 or H + that would be the same thing ...

Mobile network icons

I'm on NET10 via AT&T. I got my APN setup and I'm getting data and MMS. However, I wanted to know what the icons looked like for different networks. I haven't seen anything but "H" show up. On the N4 it would show H and H+ letting me know the difference. I was also in a supposed AT&T LTE coverage area, but it still showed "H". I think my APN is setup right. Other users have reported the same setting and getting LTE. IS the H to LTE switch take a while?

Hi I also enabled my Nexus 5, Though I am getting data, but I dont see any symbol at all, on top of my notification panel. I do see wifi symbol, when I connect to wi-fi but no cell phone mobile data symbol. Though mobile data is working for me.
Can you help?
Just got an LTE icon using T Mobile in Boston. Just the H for other areas. Haven't seen an H+ yet

I'm on AT&T via NET10. Have yet to see LTE yet. Even in areas that are supposedly covered. Probably will have to call NET10.

You won't see an icon while on wifi. Turn wifi off and see what happens. You should definitely see something indicating what type of network you are on.

Well, I know that, I have disabled the wifi, then only I tested the mobile data, but I didnt see any 3G/H+ symbol. Though network signal widget shows me the right data speed for the mobile data.

[Q] LTE not working after radio update D821

About a month ago I was in an LTE area and browsing xda and noticed a radio update so wanting the latest version I immediately flashed it. I noticed on rebooting that my lte wasn't working and I thought that the settings had just been corrupted but after a full re flash of the system and the modem I still can't get LTE in an area where other 4G phones can. However my HSPA+ works fine pulling 20mbps next to a cell tower.
Wondering if anyone can help?
Network details:
Three UK Lte bands 3/20
Phone
Nexus 5 D821UK
Why don't you flash the old radio on which LTE worked fine?

I did, still no change. I thought that would be the solution too. I might be onto something but not sure? On the APN settings does having the bearer set to LTE make a difference, I never noticed before but noticed that it wasn't set now.
