i thought the nexus s doesnt have HSPA+ bands? confused here
It doesn't. It only supports theoretical d/l speeds of 7.2 mb
Sorry new to tmo, is the phone on hspa when it displays an H instead of the 3g or E for edge?

HSDPA is technically 3G.
It will only flip for custom ROMs. The stock ROM will say 3G on both UMTS and HSDPA.
NS does not have the hardware capability to operate on HSPA+. H in network is HSDPA, little snip from my other post.

HSDPA and HSPA+ is not the same. As HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) is considered 3.5G by today's standard and is capable of 7-14Mbps using UMTS. Where HSPA+ (high speed packet access) is 21-42Mbps and sadly due to FFC changing standards its now considered 4G.

Now back when 4G wasn't used so freely H was fine for HSDPA but now since we have HSPA+ only way you can actually know it if you looking directly at the mobile network type. So from H itself you won't actually know if you are using HSPA+ or HSPA only way is if you install widget that display network detail on panel.
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.

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.
I was wondering why I can only get EDGE on my TMobile G2 phone... is it because of the GSM incompatibility that some TMobile phones have with the ATT network or am I doing something wrong?
Does your phone support 1900 MHz UTMS? That would be a problem. If it does then use *#0011# and make sure the bands are unlocked.

I got "connection problem or invalid MMI code" when I ran that.
Edit: Did a bit more research and it turns out that it does *not* support 1900 MHz UTMS for 3G, so basically, this phone + ATT network = no 3G service, as the hardware is incompatible.

Actually, I don't think the G2 even does 3G on anything but AWS. The HTC Desire Z (identical but without carrier branding) has a version that supports AT&T 3G, however.

Can you explain what you mean by "use *#0011# and make sure the bands are unlocked"? My Samsung phone can't get 4g service here on T-Mobile and it doesn't do 3G so I'd really like to enable HSPA+ if that's possible. I don't see anything on that screen that I can unlock though.

Check which UMTS (3G) bands your phone supports - I suspect yours does not support T-Mobile's 3G band (IV). The information is usually available on wikipedia or gsmarena.
You do not "enable" 3G through software changes. Your phone supports it or it doesn't.

It does support band IV, 1700Mhz, but it doesn't do HSPA+ so it can't get 3G. That screen still doesn't tell me anything though.
GSMArena says it has 3G Networking on HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 2100 / 1900 but that's not true. There is no 2100Mhz band, not on mine anyway. Actually GSMArena isn't very complete or very accurate, it don't even list the model T959V!

That's not how HSPA+ works - it's essentially just faster 3G. Also, I found your phone on GSMArena, not sure how you searched but the information is all there and it supports band IV (1700/2100) and I (2100).
Are you sure you've enabled 3G (or deselected "Use only 2G networks")?
What is the history of the phone (bought new, used, etc.)? It should "just work" on T-Mobile as it's T-Mobile branded but, no offense, your details are a little vague.

Sorry if I was vague but it doesn't "just work" on T-Mobile! At first I though all Exhibit II models would be the same however they could have different versions like the Galaxy 2 that has an older version for 3G and a newer version that also now gets 4G, who knows.
The phone was purchased new a few months ago and is still stock. I know HSPA+ is faster 3G since I can get it on 1700Mhz on another device using the T-Mobile SIM from the Exhibit 2. Can't get HSPA+ or 3G on the Exhibit 2 though.
Yes the phone is on GSMArena but the info is not accurate, it claims the phone gets 3G and has a 2100Mhz band but that's not true. It only supports band IV on 1700.
There is no option to enable 3G or "Use only 2G networks". It has options for WCDMA (for 4G on 1700) or GSM (for Edge on 1900) but there is no setting in between for 3G or HSPA+. I tried setting it to WCDMA only but it defaults back to Auto using Edge unless I go to a T-Mobile store where they have a strong 4G signal that gives 5 bars. If I leave the store and go down the street there's no signal though.
I have verified that WCDMA for 4G is on 1700 and GSM for Edge is on 1900 using a spectrum analyzer but it never uses 2100 and has never used 3G anywhere in the Phoenix, Mesa or Scottsdale area, just Edge. There may be other modes and frequencies but I haven't been able to verify them.
If there is a way to turn on 3G I'd like to know what it is? Someone suggested dialing *#32489# clicking #3 then UTMS but that didn't do anything.

I don't know where to begin but let me get this straight...
-You bought a new Exhibit II from T-Mobile.
-It doesn't get 3G outside of the store.
-Your other T-Mobile compatible device gets 3G outside of the store.
-You've owned this same Exhibit II which hasn't been connecting to 3G for months.
On these points alone, am I understanding you correctly?

In a previous post you said that you "know" what I'm talking about but clearly that is not the case.
What T-Mobile calls 4G is actually 3G with improvements to the backhaul as well as the radios on the phones - where T-Mobile has 4G, it also has 3G.
The point of my last post was to make it obvious that you have a defective phone. I shouldn't have assumed you would figure it as you haven't figured it out in the months you've owned a phone that obviously has reception issues.

Again not true! What they call 4G is using WCDMA but 3G is using HSPA+. 3G using HSPA+ has improvements that will allow it to go up to 20Mb but my Android phone doesn't have an option for 3G, just 4G using WCDMA. The people at the T-Mobile stores would beg to differ with you about the phone being bad since I've been to 5 T-Mobile stores and they say the phone works OK since it can get 4G on 1700Mhz in the store.

Your posts are too long to be trolling, but it still feels like you are because everything you post is wrong.
In case you're not trolling:
-Your phone has hardware defects that are affecting how well it connects to 3G.
-The fact that you get reception in stores is likely because stores have signal boosters.
-Retail employees are idiots. They are trained to use the products just enough to sell them (read: not much) and aren't paid enough to attract anyone with half a brain to the position. Walk a block away from the store and show them that your phone doesn't connect to 3G (or "4G" if you still want to call it that).

Hi, my GS3 is draining battery very fast ( can't even last a day). I am trying anything I am able to do to increase one charge's lifetime. I tried turning off LTE by going to mobile networks\network mode and chose GSM/HSPA (Automode) instead of the defalt GSM/HSPA/LTE (automode) but it doesn't seem to have any impact. It still shows 4g in the notification bar at the top of the screen. When i checked APN, still rogersLTE is selected and there isn't any 3g APN options there. so how do you exactly turn off the LTE? tks,

Lolz. You did turn it off. On Rogers hspa is 4g,lte is 4glte. On Telus rom hspa is properly marked with h+. You are using ltemobile apn whether you're on gsm or lte or wcdma. You can manually input other apn's.
Check or select with *#2263#.
You can even select lte only and choose just one currently working frequency on Rogers and ignore the rest. Potentially saving battery by not searching for others while still getting speed benefits from lte. Provided you are in densely serviced by lte coverage in your area. Or wcdma(hspa) only which is what I use.

I followed your instruction by pressing *#2263# and chose wcdma and picked 850 ( i didn't know which one to choose) and it worked. now the phone shows i am hspa only. thank you. now i will see if that;ll save me some battery life.
Yeah, because we don't have custom section when picking, unlike i9300 model, and Rogers runs wcdma on 1900 as well as 850,I would preferably chose wcdma all, to take advantage of 1900 band as well.
It is lte that runs only on one band forgot which 1700 or 1900 as I'm with Fido and no lte sim, so far till 700 band is launched in canada, so that one can be selected alone.

The battery life seems far more dependant on lte coverage than which radio you are using. I have been playing with this in the ottawa area (turning off lte) and get big gains if i am in areas with spotty coverage and no gains in areas with solid coverage.

Its a USA thing mate. Tmobile/Atnt for long have shown only 4g icon irrepective whether the phone is on LTE or WCDMA and thats because the 4g icon essentially just another fancy name for high speed HSPDA+ or LTE. Ther is nothing cheating about that. When I used my s7edge in India it still showed me 4g although I was on a 3g connection.

I use LTE only mode when my LTE is only 1 bar and it switches me to "4g"
But anyways, you can try switching to lte only and see if the 4g lte icon comes on instead.
I lose phone and texting when I am in that mode. Fyi

Hey there guys,
I have a GT935T (locked) atm, and as I am planning to move to India, I will get it unlocked. However, I am unsure if the T Mobile S7 Edge will work on the bands supported by Indian carriers. As far as as I have found through my research, the bands used in india are as follows, from the gsmarena page:
2G capabilities
GSM 900, GSM 1800
3G capabilities
UMTS 900, UMTS 2100
4G capabilities
LTE 850 (5), LTE 1800 (3), LTE 2300 (40)
The GT935T doesn't have the LTE band 40. Does this mean I will have problems connecting to an LTE network in india? I also found in my research that most Indian carriers that support LTE use the band 40. Does anyone have experience in this, or some expert opinion?

Why only use it on 3g? Flash the correct firmware for your country/location/carrier and it should pick up a better signal. That is unless there is only 3G network where you are located.
