So, I just text from t-mo telling me that they're new network had made my phone faster, but so far I haven't noticed a difference. Anyone else get a text out notice some speed increases?

Download the SpeedTest.net app, do a couple tests and post your speeds here. I work for Tmo and we have HSPA+ at the call center (very congested cell site), and I have gotten up to almost 5Mbps download speeds there. On regular 3G I get only like 1Mbps max.
1.46/d & 1.29/u best out of three, with full signal and 3G. I ran it earlier, right after I got the text, and it wasn't nearly that fast-
Stupid question- will the data indicator say something other than 3G when on an hspa+ network?

"H" if you're on the new radio
Ok, so the 'H' just means hspa. I think whether or not it says 'H' or '3G' depends on the rom you happen to be using.

Yes, you are correct. I figure that T-Mobile made the hspa icon 3g was so that people didn't get confused between gprs, edge, and 3g. Some roms will have editted the icon so that it will show an h. It's something along those line.

Where are these networks located? I barely get 3G as is, phone constantly changing from G to E and really pissing me off.
The new radio alone will not make it show the H. I didn't get the H until I flashed CM6, now I always see it. I don't have HSPA+ around my home, but at the Tmo call center, I have seen up to 4Mbps download, and it's pretty congested there.

I work and live about 10 & 20 miles north of boston, respectively. The fastest speed I've seen was 2.4mbps, and I've only seen that once. Usually I get around .5/1.2mbps with full signal.

I'm in medford and don't get anything as good as this
is this a general g2 problem or is tmo really terrible lately. i traded my hd2 for my g2 because i wanted 4g, otherwise i would have kept my hd2. but i rarely will see speeds over 0.30 mbps! and thats when on 3g. as well i never seem to get hspa+ in the 4g coverage area. (does android display hspa+ in the network info?)
is this a problem with my phone or radio?
Lol the orginal stock rom that come with the phone lies about 4g symbol. If you flash like cyan 7 for instance it will show you the correct symbol if it is really 4g/3g/2g. Oh yea flash a diffrent radio

Depends on your area really. I average 1.5 mps at home running 3G, but when I get near Houston I see a lot of H+ with speeds up to 9 mps. Oh, and I've tried every ROM save for a few of the Sense based ones and they all show G/E/3G or H. I've never seen an H+ symbol even when running obvious H+ speeds. I tried a sense ROM once and it would show me 3G+ when available, but that's it.

If your rooted you can try flashing a different radio.

The H means hspa+. I live in austin texas and I always get H with speeds average at around 6Mbps. If anything I would say the G2 has pretty good reception. Reason being is, I had the same issue with poor data speeds becasuse my phone was trying to connect to a tower not even in my local market...I had bad data speeds but voice still had 4 bars. Call tmobile and make sure you aren't bouncing around towers

my phone is rooted. im running the evil's mytouch 4g rom.
this is on hsdpa network. what i hate is that my old hd2 runing android was getting about 1.2 mbps average and the hd2 is supposed to have data problems. so i assumed that when i switch to the g2 the speeds would be even faster(or at least the same), but instead the speeds are lower.
I can't connect to 4g even thought I live in orlando. I only can connect to 3g. I'm using the newest royalmiui. I didn't have any 4g problems untill I flashed royalthunder then I only got 3g all the times. The speedtests I do show 3g speeds. Any help is much appreciated

Try a full wipe including formatting system and boot and reflash your Rom. Also make sure that your Rom supports 4G

I can't format boot in the new recovery. I have done a full wipe for every rom I flashed. All 4g roms. I'm gonna do it again when I get home to see what happens
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Maybe the 4G tower is down? I'm not sure if roms have to be specially made to support HSPA+ because a) HSPA+ is the same technology as 3G so it should be backwards compatible; and b) the HSPA+ chip in the mytouch is only 14.4 mbps which is the fastest HSPA(3G) chip, not 21 which is HSPA+. I think.

check your coverage map on tmobile.com I have had the same issue and I almost started flaming rom cookers... even on cm7 I get 3g speeds. turns out the part of town I live in has low 4g coverages. Usually stock roms only have the H or H+ icon on the framework. so even when you're on 3g it shows H, even when you're on 4g it shows H. on custom roms notice you have 3 different icons. (or 4) H, 3g, EDGE, (GPRS)
H stands for 4g. mostly on custom roms this shows up when there is STRONG 4g signals
3g shows up all the time even though if a stock similar device such as another mytouch or a g2 shows H.
and edge/ gprs is self explanatory.
some roms may come with kernels that may have botched LIBS that prevent 4g connection (ie cooked roms from european phones like- desire HD etc...). get a friends phone that is similar IE a vibrant 4g, g2 or a mytouch and run speed tests using the OOKLA app on market. You will get the same results when his **** shows H and when your **** shows 3g.
Oh and they and you will be surprised at how much cell carriers lie to us about coverage
I live in North Houston and I can get full 4g speeds 2% of my usage times per month
I did this the other day with similar WHITE MYTOUCHES, one was bone STOCK no root, and one was root with cm 7- royal ginger 1.5

I live in Orlando Florida so my 4g coverage is beyond great lol. I had the galaxy s 4g and I never seen 3g on it. I kno this is a older device so 4g won't be as great as the sgs4g but it dosent mean I shouldn't pick it up at all

Call it dial-up, call it hand signals, call it morse code. If you are getting 9 down 2 up you are making 99% of t-mobile users jealous. Simple as that.
Lol... I have to drive 1.5 miles just to get cell service to make a regular cell call. Wifi calling is the only way I can use my phone.
Living in the woods at the base of a mountain kinda kills your cell reception.

It seems like the 4g issue is with custom roms not the stock rom. I flashd stock with root and I never seen 3g only H the whole time

i've had this problem. you can check your apn settings here. but when i talked to customer support they pretty much told me if that's the speed it i get then they can't do anything about it. so if anyone else has any more info that'd be cool. :good:

I love my data speeds on T-Mobile monthly 4G...T-Mobile 3G is slow are you sure you can't get H (4G) in your area. Tmobile's 4G will actually only come on when data is being used. So I suggest browse the web for a little bit and when you see H come on then run a speedtest. But the phone idols at 3G and I didn't have to mess with any APN settings.
Edit: I am on the 70 dollar plan unlimited everything and no throttling.
No that's impossible... I only used 500mb so far...and I have a payment due in three days. I have H all the time. My iPhone 4 gets faster speeds...and that's stuck on 3G

Yeah they are. I got like 3-4 mpbs on my Nexus One as well as my iPhone 4. My Nexus 4 gets 200-300KB 3-5 bars H icon. I get my usual 15 mpbs on wifi so it cant be the radio on the phone..
is there a HSPA+ option that we could turn on and off. or is it when there is HSPA+ it automatically connect.

Confirming that I'm having the same problem, on at&t. My Nexus 4 gets terrible speeds compared to my 850 Mhz Nexus One and my One S. Same SIM and APN on all of them.
It's also ridiculously slow to switch the data connection on (read: to show H+ in the status bar or start showing the up and down arrows.
Anyone else in the past few days experiencing data drops? I live in Atlanta, so 4G everywhere but for the past 3-4 days I've been getting data drops where 4G goes away and 3G too. I'm rooted on stock. And on Verizon.
