I live in Seattle,WA. T-Mobile is useless for customer support. My question is what is up with 4G. Is it like still in beta or something. I haven't seen 4G at all.

You don't see an actual 4g sign on your phone you just see a h on your signal bar that stands for hspa+ aka 4g
Sent from my icey cold glacier 4g freezing every phone in its path.
but im still on the UMTS network. not HSPA+.....the H is always there unless im on EDGE orGPRS.

T-Mobile's MySense shows "H" for HSPA (3G) and HSPA+ ("4G") speeds.
CM7 does support HSAP+.
If you are not getting the HSPA+ speeds it's your coverage area, or you've been throttled back depending on your data usage.
I'm not getting throttled so I guess it is just bad coverage...just wondering, cuz I love cm7 would have hated it if it didn't play well with 4g. But it shows an H for me, will cm7 show 3g for 3g or an h for 4g and 3g

CM7 will show
H = HSPA+
3G = HSPA
E = EDGE
K nice thanks

Just checking but when your network status says HSDPA that is not considered "4G" right? More like enhanced 3G correct?

you're right ! but if u have a 4g phone like the mt4g, g2, samsung vibrant4g, etc.
you will get the full hsdpa+ 4g network. so u don't have to worry if it says 4g or just H, or hsdpa in settingsettings info. I can tell the difference with my mt4g compared to mytouch3g. both says H on the notification bar & HSDPA but the speeds for the mt4g is way faster!
The terminology is branding more than anything else. hsdpa is t-mobile's high speed protocol for 3g, but they call it 4g because, well, pretty much everyone has jumped the gun on calling their networks 4g.

Someone chime in and correct me if i'm wrong
By definition 4G has to meet 100Mbps on download during peak times. HSPA+, LTE, Wi-Max do not meet these requirements as of currently. And every thing is enhanced 3G.
If you look at it from a "G" = Generation Standpoint we are in the 4th Generation of Mobile Broadband technology. 1: GRPS 2:EDGE 3:HSPA 4:HSPA+. So it really depends on which side of the coin you look. and to really get the idea of it
HSPA = High Speed Packet Access
HSDPA = High Speed Download Packet Access
HSUPA = High Speed Upload Packet Access
If i'm correct typically your phone is considered HSPA if you have HSDPA and HSUPA activated. But if you are on lets say AT&T with the Atrix, they consider that a HSDPA+ phone, because the upload end of things are still as slow as 3G or below.
Well hsdpa will have about 8-10 mbps theoretical download speed. Where later this year T-Mobile is releasing hspa + to have up to 42 mbps download and technically it can be upgraded in to the 100's of mbps.
So personally I would call it 3g

I was checking because I was wondering if I was getting what I paid for or not.
I put quotes around the 4G because there is some debate about whether it is or not. I really believe its not. Whether it meets standards or not it doesn't bother me because I reallyyyy don't need 100mbps on a phone. Tethering on the other hand....

TMobiles HSPA+ network is considered 4G by the ITU, which says what should be called 4G. It wasn't originally fast enought, but they changed their mind and said that WiMax, LTE, AND HSPA+ are technically 4G. http://www.intomobile.com/2010/12/18/itu-reverses-its-decision-lte-wimax-and-hspa-are-now-4g/

Network speed isn't really measured in gigs..

Noticed I was connecting at H+ rather than H at my friends today. What is H+ compared to H and G? /noob
Is this what you mean?
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hsdpa.htm
H+ stands for HSPA+
H+ is HSPA+ which is just a name of a network speed. Just like 4g, 3g etc. It's just a little faster than 3G and a little slower than 4g.

Faster than 3g and slower than LTE. Some us carries have been calling H+ 4G when it's actually 3.5G

Just as an FYI...Bell Canada calls 3.5G "4G".

Ahaaa! Thanks peeps. Wondered if it was 3.5/4G. Was certainly quite fast!

Before you buy a phone, read the information about this phone
greetings Friends
As I can restore my HTC MyTouch 4G to the original? updated with GB but do not know if this has influenced the network! It really is 4G?
I think what your asking is, after upgrading to gingerbread mysense you are suspicious that the 4g is no longer 4g. I'm not sure why your suspicious but i can assure you that it is 4g... Well by T-mobile's standards because they use HSPA+ as opposed to LTE but never mind that's a different subject, the 4g is 4g
Just download a speed test from the Market and check for yourself if u have 4g coverage in your area and in your rate plan then it should show 4g speeds

I gotta a Mytouch 4g that's rooted and ever since I rooted it I lost the 4g service. I have installed 2 different ROM and nothing. I just installed the latest version of CyanogenMod and no 4g. Does anyone know which ROM works for this phone with 4g??
If you get 3G, you'll get "4G" as well. Also, H = 4G.
