i been working two days to finally get the internet to work on my phone and all i had to do was use the stylus to push the button under the cover. but now that i have a working internet for some strange reason, im not getting the H sign anymore, the best ill get is 3g. is there anything i can do to get it back?
the only thing i can think of is that i changed sim cards at att thinking it would fix the problem but it didnt until i did the reset. the sim cards are the same except the old one (iphone) is blue and the new one is yellow?
anyone know what i can do?
I don't know if my answer will help you, but sometimes i don't have the 3g icon and my 3g is working perfectly. Sometimes the icon is not showing the truth. Did you try your HSDPA or did you just see that the icon is missing wiothout trying it.
i would get the H sign in my house and i went to the city today after everything started working and i wouldnt get more than 3g, now im back home and im just getting E barely 3g. i dont get it?

Ok, did u actually try to use HSDPA regardless of the icon? If u did and it didn't work, well, i guess it is a problem with the coverage of your operator or something.
I am on O2 in the UK and i get the H icon and if the HSDPA reception is not that good it switches back to G, however i have never seen the 3G icon appear which is very strange!

You'll have to either disable HSDPA (Settings>Connections>Advanced Network) or go to an area with 3G but no HSDPA!

As HSDPA is nothing more than faster 3g, most likely the cells in your area have all been upgraded.

AT&T does not really like for your phones to show the difference between the arrays that are at 1.8, 3.6 and 7.2.
They'd rather disguise it if at all possible.
You might have defaulted some settings that you or somebody else had changed, which settings you're unaware of. For example, your default setting might be to not use or recognise the 7.2 arrays, since there are very few of them anyway.
What I'd suggest is to run a few tests at dslreports.com/mspeed to see exactly what speeds you're getting when your phone is showing 3G. If your results approximate those of other people at the same location, I really wouldn't worry about whether your phone is showing 3G or H.
Just because you're not showing H doesn't mean that you're just on UMTS.
the G sign stands for gprs. thats what i get as im not in a 3g area
DOWNLOAD SPEEDS:
Icon "G" = GPRS (2.5G) = 171.2 kbps max
Icon "3G" = WCDMA (3G) = 384 kbps 512 kbps 2024 kbps
Icon "H" = HSDPA (3.5G) = 1800 kbps 3600 kbps 7200 kbps 14400 kbps
Don't blame your phone
He is only displaying what your operator beams...
im getting speeds of like 1100 kb/sec.
im so mad because i finally get my internet to work and NOW im not gettin HSDPA.
could it be that i got a different sim card from ATT?
I am using the same SIM card I used with my old EDGE phone
No need to change SIM unless your carrier forces you to do so
but im saying i think i was getting HSDPA on my other sim card and not on this one, i dunno why.
Anyone have a download of them? Just flashed a new rom and my 3G shows up as H on the taskbar. Anyone have a link to the originals? Not a big deal, but it'd be appreciated.

That H is for HSDPA, the higher-spec 3G (i.e. it indicates you're getting a theoretically faster connection right then)...you don't want to see that?
Ahhh really? Well, I checked the rom, and it seems like the H has just replaced the 3G icon all together. So, I'm either E (EDGE), or G, or H. For some reason, it's driving me crazy If anyone has a download, please post it.
Nevermind, I was wrong. I just got a 3G icon on there, walked a bit, and it jumped to H. You were right This can be locked, or whatever.
You can disable HSDPA icon with Advanced config (Data Connections), this way it always shows 3G. I do this because it's always referred to as 3G with Tmo USA.
I live in Bryan TX, about 75miles from Houston and as far as i know there is no HSDPA in my city yet. But i was just trying the Android build last night and it showed the H symbol for a bit. After that i never saw the H symbol, not in winMo, not in android. So was it just android reporting wrong information or was t-mobile actually testing HSDPA equipment at that time(highly unlikely but i wish they were).
Did anyone else experience android showing H even if you were not in HSDPA location?

Your proximity to A&M can cause all sorts of unexplained weirdness
lol seriously though, I understand that not only does Houston itself have HSPA+ now (it was in the first wave, Austin gets it next week), but also a large part of the surrounding area (mostly in your direction, and out towards the gulf too) are getting regular HSDPA very soon.
Note that on a stock winmo ROM you won't see an "H" in your taskbar, even if you have that type of connection...it won't display unless you're using a custom icon set (the default one is suppressed by the carrier)

Well....i see your location and i'm not surprised by your answer...and i do study at A&M.....but anyways...thanks for the response, will try installing a set of custom icons and try it out......but considering the speeds i get i dont think its HSDPA+....they dont even touch 1mbps.

Yeah I'm sure it's not HSDPA+ all the way up to you yet, I think they're just getting the 3G to regular HSDPA standards in the surrounding areas like yours.
Also note that even if you see an "H" in the display there, it only really means that you have a better connection with the tower, the backend elements to give you the real speed increase may or may not be in place TO that tower yet.
(to be honest with you, I couldn't really care less about the UT/A&M rivalry...I'm not from here. I just know I might get run out of town if I missed an opportunity to fire a shot like that lol)

Depeding on the Developer of the rom. Sometime they use the "H" just to show there is active data.
For example im in Madison TN and we have 3G but dont have H yet. On my phone though, using the Energy Series rom, my phone idles with a 3G but if I load a web page or trigger some kind of data activity, the 3G will turn to H and back to 3G when the data activity is done. Same with some Android Roms, they change to H for data activity and back to 3G when the phone is idle.
I mite not be 100% accurate on that but I think thats how it works on the custom roms.
On a stock rom instead of 3G idle youll see H all day if you had hsdpa in your area.

thanks for the response, I guess you might be right there, but I'm not sure stock ROMs show the H icon, because i was in Houston last week, in the middle of downtown and my phone still showed 3G.
Staying on a similar subject can someone help me out with adding the H icon to the stock ROM, I do not want to add a custom taskbar, just looking for some reg edit, where it will show a simple H icon instead of the 3G icon when i'm in HSPA+ coverage.
Does anyone have 3G on their phone with this build? I'm a Tmobile US customer and I'm using Froyostone Sense 3.2, my signal and apn are working fine but do not get any 3G on it, just E, H, and G most of time but not 3G, anybody know why?

lol.. this has been asked numorous times.. H > 3G
3G = UMTS
H = HSDPA/HSPA
although for HSPA+ on the G2.. they should have an H+ icon.
go google it
Can not get an internet connection.
I am a T-Mobile US user and I booted Froyo Stone 3.2 on my HTC HD2 for the first time ever like two days ago, complete nooby here. Been searching the forums for advice. Was wondering what you did to get your internet connections.hope you can help. The Froyo Stone build is awsome.
Just settle up your APN and switch your Network Mode to GMS only from GSM/WCDMA auto. Beside sometimes you gotta unmount your SD card and mount it back when your signal drop or stop recieving. Shouldn't be no problem for you to get internet connection right away.
Thanks so much for the advice R3oDaWhOa I literally stayed up all night last night digging through the Froyo Stone 3.2 build thread and I finally come across the APN fix with a step by step walk through wish I could remember the name of the user That posted it so I could give him proper credit too. Thanks again though.

Hi All,
I'm getting a very weird and annoying issue regarding HSPA on Virtuous ROMs.
I found that H is not working properly in the same place where it got to work on Stock ROMs.
I'VE READ ABOUT THE FAQ ON THE ISSUE:
Q: I used to see HSPA+ (H) connectivity with the stock ROM, where Virtuous shows me 3G in the same area. Why is the data slower?
The stock T-Mobile ROM lies about data rate and displays H even if you are in a 3G-only territory. Virtuous displays H only when you actually have HSPA+ service.
HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ANSWER FOR ME. IT IS VERY WEIRD THAT HSPA NETWORK (shown as "3G+" in virtuous 1.0.0) IS TRIGGERED EVERY TIME I MAKE A PHONE CALL. However, I'm not able to start H by opening a browser, etc which triggers a data transfer.
Therefore, it should not be a network problem. Also, when I switch back to stock ROM, the HSPA is working properly.
May I ask for your kind help? Thank you in advance!
P.S. I'm using:
HBOOT: ENG S-OFF 0.84.2000
Radio: 26.06.02.27_M
ROM: Virtuous 1.0.0 with htc kernel (also tried using Std and Adv kernels but problem still exists)
i think that the 3g+ is H
cause i get H speeds when it is 3g+
Yea same problem
When I switched to Virtuous even 0.9.5, I no longer have HSDPA speeds nor HSPA+.
P.S. im running 1.0 right now
anyone plz?
No problems here - I get the 3G+ everywhere I used to get H.
Also, you mention that HSPA is working correctly when you switch back to a stock ROM - that's probably not true. The stock ROMs show an H whenever you have *any* 3G coverage (whereas pretty much all of the custom ROMs differentiate between '3G' and '3G+/H'). So when you see an 'H' on the stock ROM, you have no way of knowing whether it is 3G (like you're seeing on the custom ROMs) or if it is, indeed, HSPA+.
Menu - settings - about phone - network
HSDPA
It is working.
Pretty sure he's using new icons, in the latest roms. There's no issue, its just using a different icon to show the same thing.
It's just the icon, they really don't differentiate between the speeds.
Yea the rom is based on orange and they use 3g+ and t-mobile uses HSPA... well speed should still be the same

To clarify, I do know about the 3g+ icon issue.
My problem is that I can only get UMTS after switch to new ROM. No 3g+ no matter how much data I transfer.
The most weird thing is that 3g+ is triggered only when im making a phone call.
Im sure its not a carrier cheating issue because i was able to get hsdpa in *#*#4636#*#* mode. After switching to virtuous i only get umts.
Thanks all who was keen to help and reply!
