Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, i search but couldn't find anything.
Recently I have been having problems with my HD2 when using the browser mostly, i will be loading a page and the connection icon at the top of the screen will go from saying "H" in the box and to the right the signal bar with a "H" then it will go to 3G then it will suddenly cut off and some arrows appear as if i have lost connection all together, after about 5-10 seconds it will go back to H or 3G then the webpage will continue to load. This happens every few minutes or so.
Watching youtube or streaming video's works fine though with no issues.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Up until yesterday i was nearly always getting then H (hsdpa) icon on my Hero. Now im getting the 3G icon. But when i use an app that required the data connection it changed to H. It's annoying because it takes around 5-10 seconds to change and while its changing the app doesnt seem to have any data connection.
Does anyone else experience this? And can anyone tell me why up until yesterday it was always H and now only goes to H when the data connection is needed? I haven't changed any settings or installed anything in the past few days.
It may just be your providers local cell tower that is having issues rather than the Hero. Drop them a call first to see if there are any reported problems.
According to my provider theirs no issues in my area.
I just dont understand how mine can change from always being a H to being 3G changing to H when i use data. It's really annoying because when i open browser it takes around 10 seconds for the 3G to change to H and in that time no pages load. Then if i stay on one page for a while and move to another the H has gone back to 3G so takes another 10 seconds to change.
Could anyone who gets the H symbol please do me a favour? When you wake your phone from sleep is the H symbol always showing or is it sometimes 3G changing to H when you use any app that requires data?
Thanks
I think my H icon works as it should here in Finland. H is shown only when some data is being transferred, hence it is not always being displayed when I wake the screen. Sometimes it is shown, but I think then some widget or FB integration or something like that is being updated / synchronized.
I really feel that this is correct behavior, HSPA would suck your battery dry quite fast if it would be always on.

I think your right with it being the correct behaviour. Even though it takes an extra few seconds to start the connection when browsing etc it does seem that my battery is lasting longer. Now if i could just find a way of getting it to display 3G instead of H when away from my house.

I think there's no way of crippling the HSPA functionality of the phone, phone makes the selection of using HSPA (or not) based on network's decision (decided on coverage & various measurements) and capability.
Okay guys, so my phone is great!!! IM IN LOVE!! But here's the deal: Many times i wont receive 3G signal in places where 3G flourishes on other T-Mobile phones. I pull down my status bar and it says 3G T-Mobile, but the little bars show 5 bars and the little triangle antenna, not a 3G next to the bars. So, i go to my wireless settings. The button that turns Data Connection on/off is turned off. So i press the button, takes me to my settings add/remove/edit data connections. VERY FRUSTRATING. Then it randomly decides to work.
Also, whenever i try to view pictures, it gets slow and locks up the phone. Might this be cause by me having pictures from my G1 on my SD card? Idk different size, struggling to load them, etc.
Thanks in advance

Whenever I try to connect to the internet or market place it says "A server error has occured." Can someone tell me what the problem is? Also, the green loading bar at the top of the screen only loads to about 1/8th of the full bar.
Yes the market does seem pretty wonky. Load times are not great even on wifi. Idk what the issue is but for now take solace in the fact you are not the only one. Have you ever been able to load it up or only occasionally do you have problems?
I've had my phone for over a year now, and I love it except one strange quirk. I'm with T-Mobile in the midwest, and whenever my phone says 3G, no data works. Everything is fine when it says 'H'. When I'm browsing the internet, I see the status shifting from H to 3G every 30 seconds or so for a duration of about a couple seconds. When the phone is on 3G, the website stops loading, and no data works (even syncing with mail stops). The second it switches back to H, everything works 100% again. Anyone know what's going on with 3G?
Another example is Youtube buffering. When the phone is on H, I see the buffer bar fill up. When it switches to 3G, the bar stops. When it switches back to H, the bar moves again.
I love the HSPA speed, but having it cut out completely fairly often has become a huge annoyance.
Found another thread that had the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069844&highlight=3g+hspa
But the people there weren't noticing any lag at all while on my phone, there is clearly no data transfer occurring when the phone displays 3G. Also, if this is indeed some sort of power save feature, shouldn't there be no flopping if you're actively browsing? I see it switching fairly regularly while browsing/downloading, and data completely stops when the phone switches to 3G.
Found a few other threads suggesting to set hsxpa=0 in the build.prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911728

However, once I did this, I still get the H/3G flipping which is odd since I thought the hsxpa=0 would disable H? What's going on here?
Played around with the numbers, and setting it to 1 forces 3G mode only. Hope this helps anyone else!
Hey guys,
I just noticed something weird with my priv.
Everytime I use mobile data I normally get H+. But as soon as the mobiledata isn't used it switches over to 3g and once something uses the internet it takes a few seconds, nothing is loading, then it switches over to H+ and loads the page/whatever really fast.
I noticed this by playing pokemon go.
Everytime I am just standing around and no data is sent the connection indicator shows 3G. As soon as I try to catch a pokemon, open a gym or something else it takes some time to load while showing 3g, then switches over H+ and then it loads instantly.
It feels like some kind of battery saver but I just couldn't find any settings.
Does anyone else got the same problem? Maybe even a solution?
