Hd2 3G O2 uk problems. . . - HD2 General

is anyone else using O2's 3G ? mine seems to change between 3 symbols H,G,3G but is mainly on H is this hspda? if so is that slower than 3G? if I'm sitting next to my friend and his iPhone is on 3G (o2) mine will be on H. . . why !?

H is indeed hspda (3.5G) so it's faster than 3G

I think you got it wrong
H>3G>G
H should be the fastest

ah good no problem then, I also get E what's that edge . . . ?

ive never had the H symbol even tho im supposedly in an area that supports hspda

yes E is edge.

[Q] MMS on Froyo 2.2 && H instead of 3G

The MMS on the froyo build 2.2 build that i have Doesnt work at all. I've tried all APN's that have been given. Instead of 3G by the signal bars I get an H.
Any suggestions on fixing the MMS and the Data Connection signal from H to 3G?
Any other builds I could use that fix this?
what are you complaining about?!?! H is better than 3g its tmobiles new hspd mobile network as good as 4g...
Hah, I wasnt sure at all. Thanks Though?
yea you should want the "H" instead of the "3G" it connects to tmobiles new HSPA 4g like speeds....i ran a speedtest the download speeds arent that fast either on 3g or the H. when running android.

H and 3G are the same.. HSDPA not HSPA+.. just an FYI..
Hsdpa typo.

HSPL speed is 21 mbps
3G speed is 7 mbps
HSPL is better than just 3G

its HSPA+ 21mbps.. also backward compatible with HSDPA 7.2mbps.
where can i find Froyo 2.2
where can I find the link to download?
Hmm, It toggles from H to 3g so on and so forth.
so am i getting the HSDPA or what ever or not?
a H work beter than 3g

[Q] Just some simple question

What does the G, H stands for on the top?
And previously it shows 3G and it'll change to H whenever i uses internet but nowadays it always stay at G no matter im using internet or not
Its laggy when im trying to scroll/browse messages, is it just me?
​
Maybe im wrong but i think H is for hspa, it is faster than G but slower than 3G, perhaps you have a cheaper data plan like me You can change in network settings which one want to use, at stock settings it choose automatically, where H available (for example underground you surely can only use G, but when you download data, you cannot use your phone, it uses the same network at many operators)

Really? H is actually faster than 3G, cause im pretty sure H is 3.5G, well it seems faster than 3G for me anyway lol. Ummm i think you're only getting G due to low/crap signal and reception etc etc or due to your provider's coverage.
The settings have WCDMA only , GSM only , GSM/WCDMA auto. Which are you guys one?
I notice i change to WCDMA, it changed to H already
H stands for high speed data packet access (HSDPA). G stands for 3G. E stands for EDGE. H is faster than G and G is faster than E.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Oh, Thanks people How about the laggy issue?
H (GASPS) is fastest, then 3G, followed by E (2.5G) lastly G the slowest.

Leave it on gsm/wcdma Auto or you will not be able to get a signal in rural areas. The G stands for GPRS, which runs at dial up speeds, the e is for edge which runs at 100kb, the 3G is for 3G (utms) and runs at about 6-800kb and the h Is the fastest the wildfire gets at 1mb on average
And h stands for high speed data packet access

It will rather go for a weak wcdma (3G and hsdpa) signal than a strong gsm (GPRS and edge) signal if you leave it on auto

Network icon: H+

Hey, has anyone else noticed the "H+" network icon? I guess it means I have HSPA+ in my area! I'm located in Belgium, Proximus network.
So here are the network icons for SGS2:
G = GPRS
E = EDGE
3G = well, basic 3G
H = HSDPA
H+ = HSPA+

Only ever seen G, E, 3G, H - I'm on o2 UK and they suck may I add Never seen H+
H+ here in US for AT&T
Nice to know!
In Belgium they are just beginning the rollout of HSPA+, so it's only limited to some areas...
here in uk 'three' seem to have launched the hspa+ network.i don't know if its only for mobile broadband. i have not seen those illusive 'H+' yet.

Live in central London with SGSII and Three. Still not seen H+ no matter where I go, including visiting other cities like Leeds. Beginning to think there might be something up with my phone or my Three account?
Anyone seen H+ on Orange? I've seen them advertising it with the Atrix but I've not had it on my SGS2.
Be aware that at least AT&T I know has upgraded all their towers to HSPA+, so you'll always see H+ on your phone, but that doesn't mean they have HSPA+ speeds yet. HSPA+ is a simple software upgrade on the towers that they could probably roll out all at once to all towers. Getting the bandwidth upgraded to the towers and actually allowing HSPA+ speeds are an entirely different story.
Seen H+ today for the first time here in Redditch UK, 3 UK network.

How do I know if I'm in H+?

I have my phone with gingerblur and it only shows H. My gf's is stock and afaik only shows H+.
Is there a way I can find out which mode I'm in?
I looked in settings > status and there it's just HSDPA usually and says 3G
Thanks!

Without doing a speed test =D maybe you could alter the pic used but I'd have to research more. Haven't themed that much.

According to Jessica Wilson (952.703.4316) at Atts Office of the Pres, the H+ icon indicates you are on a 3G capable network. I know thats not helpful, but thats Atts answer to your question.
The Atrix SW only uses one icon for 3G connection, no matter whether it's 3G or HSPA. In stock, that's H+, in GingerBlur it's H. I set it to 3G on my modified GingerBlur. Cheating? Maybe.
You can do an H+ icon and push it into GingerBlur's framework-res.apk and replace it on your phone, if you really must have the +.
I got to ask, at my work place I don't get 3g but usually edge but once I got gingerblur at home I get (H) and when I go to work I get (E) and sometimes (G). I would think (E) stands for edge but what is (G) if (H) is for 3g? Thanks

Thats confusing and wrong bud...
1G is the old Analogue system from like 20 years ago
G = GPRS or 2G
E = Edge or 2.5G
H = UTMS or 3G
H+ = HSDPA or 3.5G/4G
Thats what it should be... I think

H+ should be HSPA and/or HSPA+. Otherwise, you're right on the mark.

Cool
HSDPA / HSPA same thing, or quoting wikipedia "an amalgamation of HSDPA and HSPUA"

you won't be truly HSPA+ (H+) until enhanced backhaul has been installed at cell sites in your area.
check the coverage map:
http://www.att.com/network/
click coverage at the bottom and run your cursor over the map of the US. Cities that have had some enhanced backhaul installed will show up as you mouse over them.

Any 3G connection - normal (UMTS), HSPA or HSPA+, is displayed as:
- H+ in stock
- H in GingerBlur
G is GPRS and E is Edge. For some reason, I don't get Edge here in Singapore. Maybe they don't have it. Or maybe the Atrix doesn't distinguish between G and E anymore in 1.8.3... Or maybe Atrix is incompatible with Edge here. No idea.
I think the classifications of the different connection speeds in Android are a bit dumb.
My Nokia N900 displays, 2G for GPRS, 2.5G for Edge, 3G for UTMS, 3.5G for HSPA (Obviously if it supported HSPA/LTE/WiMax etc, it would display 4G lol) and that makes logical sense to me.
Its really weird, my phone shows that my network is on hspa when I force it to wcdma only. I'm on Fido and they share rogers towers and their hsdpa? Random... I am however getting about 5 down and 1.5 up which is fast enough for me really.

Go to your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to Phone information, you should see your Network type there.
I've only seen two network icons in the stock status bar, E and H+ -- but H+ has been used while I'm on HSDPA and HSPA and even UMTS, so it's ultra unreliable, and I've never even seen HSPA+!
And an FYI:
No matter what the 4G coverage areas on the maps and what the mobile network company reps say, there are no true 4G networks in existence today, at least none that honor the original requirements for 4G.
Basically what occurred was that the ITU came up with a standard called 4G, companies falsely marketed 3G technologies as 4G, ITU gave up on the 4G standard, told the mobile network companies that they can keep the now meaningless term, and the ITU then made the IMT-Advanced standard which is what 4G should have been all along. IMT-Advanced solutions are in development, and not yet public.

Well, HSPA is just an upgrade to WCDMA = UMTS. So I am not surprised. I do not think you can force your phone to NOT use HSPA but remain on 3G.
If you want 2G only... that is GSM I think.

EDGE and HSPA work, no 3G?

Was just wondering if the problem had to do with my phone, or just the service. I rarely ever get 3G, I pretty much always get either EDGE or HSPA (in the corner it either shows E or H). Is this just a problem with the 3G available in my area?
Isn't HSPA 3g?

==============================
the H is the HSDPA if i remember right. since the HD2 isnt a 4G phone it will have a speed boost from normal 3G but wont hit full 4G. Some builds I have used just dont ever show the 3G. For instance the Glacier aka MyTouch 4G ROM never shows 3G and always has the H which actually is 3G. Im sure there are Sense Roms out there that will show you 3G but if you have the H you shouldnt worry .. Hope this helps
Ohh, okay. Sorry guys I'm new to most of this. I thought there were three symbols I should be seeing : E, 3G, and H. Had no idea there was only E and H. Thanks everybody.
what they are saying isa that H is faster than 3g and better
1g =gprs
2g = edge
3g = umts
3.5g = hspa/hsdpa
3.6g = wimax
4g = lte
