This question has come up several times and has already come up today when the Bandswitch application was suggested as a possible solution:

The application can be found through links here or by googling commmgrpro Use the application to force phone to certain bands only.

hey man thank you i just wanted to be sure ...thanks again bro
Ok simple and possible stupid question...
All yesterday my phone was displaying the E icon next to my antenna showing that there was the possiblity of connecting to the Edge network... Now I happen to work in a area where 3G is not supported but I live in one where its spotty.
I went home last night and while fooling with the phone I noticed the U icon instead of the E... Note I'm NOT using the MEdia connection either, I know this is just simply stating that 3G is currenty avilable where I am.
Now I'm back at work today and the U icon is still there, so I got to test it and when I connect it connects with a mini E above the antenna bars.... So why does my major network icon never change showing me whats avilable?
I installed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons for my vp3G rom, so I dont know if maybe thats causing it?
I just signed up for media maxx today so I'll test my media connection when I get home to see if it shows up with a 3G...
It doesn't show you what's available. It shows you how you connected, if you are connected.
Um, no it shows whats avilable because this is showing up when my phone is not connected to the MEdia Net service.
Right from the manual.
The LARGE U an E icons are the ones I'm talking about...
Either way I removed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons program, and it went back to a E icon
so I think it had something to do with that.
The manual is wrong. I am in a 3.5G area, and my connection icon routinely changes from E to U, even while using it.
You're trying to solve something that is not only not solvable, but is also not a big deal anyway.
so i have an 8525 and it is run on tmo usa..... should I be getting an e for edge when i am in that area? I read somewhere I should get E for edge and a G for gprs when not in edge area..... If this is the case it seems I am always stuck on gprs... any fixes if thats how its supposed to work?
U should be getting E when on edge...could be your icon says G but U'r really on edge? Some Roms are missing the E. U can try this cab or another rom if u like...
well i had the icon in the rom.... I ended up upgrading the radio to 1.47 and now I have edge.... yea!!!!! apparently stock radio from att wasnt letting me have tmobile edge!!!
Good Catch! Glad u'r all set now...
Dont notice too much difference though.... maybe a tad faster
Does anyone know what the new icons mean?
I am now getting H and R, even though in the same place I used to get a 3G connection.
H is fine I can do everything, but when I am on R I get no internet.

H is HSPDA and R is roaming i believe. HSPDA is the 7mbps speed, so its equivilant to wifi speeds assuming you have an 8+mb line.
I've only encountered those speeds once when I was at the Atlanta airport waiting for my connection to Florida.
Thats what I was thinking.
So I should assume that HSDPA is my 3G connection.
I should have thought of that roaming.
In Aus with telstra I should be hitting 7mbps no probs in the cities with Telstra. Strange about roaming though I have never needed to roam before on anyphone before this update.

If you have no data connection while roaming go into your Setting>Wireless Controls >Mobile Networks then enable Data Roaming ONLY if you dont get charged for it. In the US, T-Mobile doesn't charge for data roaming as long as you're inside the country.

Wow thanks for even remotely offering help to him. How about instead of being an ass about it you can offer some help and mention to search next time?
(SEARCH) top right 3rd to last, has white letters and a white arrow pointing down, has brown background surroundings and it is spelled S.e.a.r.c.h
Ok, then, now what's the million dollar question? CAN WE SWITCH THE H ICON TO 3G?
Where is it located?

Thanks guys but it did use both the search buttom and also manually reading through the last few pages of threads in all 4 sub forums.
So next time F** off, if you want to be like that.
itt was mentioned in the 4million page thread of haykuros previous builds. H means same as 3G in this case- HTC just use H instead of 3G. and yes sometimes the search fxn sux. maybe not a new thread for it but ask in the thread about the actual build.
to replace you need to open update with 7zip, replace the H icons with 3G icons from another build (H icons i think are in system-framework-htcresources.apk if i remember correctly- from old haykuro build- i dont have new one). make sure the 3G icons have same name as wht the H ones did. close update, resign zip and you are right to go and flash it.

Thanks for that mate, it ok I dont mind it being a H as long as I know it is running on the 3G connection.
Hummm... you can do that but you guys are forgetting something. The H build shows G (GPRS), E (EDGE), 3G (UMTS), and H (HSPDA/HSUPA) icons. You could just copy the icons from system/framework/com.htc.rescources.apk/res/drawable and replace the ones in system/framework/framework.res.apk/res/drawable but they would be inaccurate. It would display a H icon where you might actually have UMTS connection. I wish I knew what else should be replaced (probably an extra script or lib file would be also be needed to include all 4 icons from H build.
Hi guys,
Sorry this might be a stupid question, but here we goes.
This morning i found that there was no internet available on my lovely SuperHD2 Android ROM, and yet once i changed into WinMo i had almost full H signal and internet working fine... I noticed on this android build i cant see if i am only on GPRS, 3G or HSDPA ... am i missing something or is there a way i can force icons to always be there ?
Cheers
