HSDPA only became available with the 2.1 upgrade, if you're still on 1.6 that will be why you don't get it.

Ah right ta. . Come on dell want 2.1 (that doesnt screw up our phones)

Seems OK to me, 3G speeds are up to 384KB/s and you are over that by far almost 3Mbit/s so you are getting HSPA, if you run on 1.6 you won't see the H, at least on my streak running 2.1 it shows the H when there is any network activity. And for the looks of it looks like you are running on HSPA category 3.. not bad at all. If it is a category 3 it should top at somewhere around 5Mbit in optimal conditions.

That will do me !

3G only

Hello,
I was wondering if there was anyway to strictly run off of 3G? I was using cm6.1 rc 2 for a bit but noticed it switches constantly between H and 3G.. and in return rapes my battery. While rooted with setcpu profiles I get 5-7 hours more battery life while running on only edge. Anyone have any ideas?

Switching from edge to 3G is a lot different from switching from 3G to HSPA+ which uses the same technology. Cyanogen just made the signal icon more accurate, because the stock rom doesnt differentiate between HSPA (3G) and HSPA+. ANybody with a standard 3G phone will tell you that running solely on 2G will save you a ton of battery. The difference from 3G to 3.5G (HSPA+), however, is negligable.
Either use 2G or use HSPA... i agree cyanogen should have an option to stop differentiating 3G fro 4G since it can be distracting.... and ignorance is bliss afterall.

so wait im running cynogen mod RC 2 will it give me a 3G icon instead of a H cuz i always get confused whether im on 3g or HSPA+(3.5g)

You can do this actually... search for the thread about editing the radio settings in system/build.prop

And there is really no battery damage from 3g to hspa switching. U could just enable 2g only in settings.

Go under setting/wireless & network settings/ mobile networks... And the data enabled is what turns on ur data. Unless ur talking about just turning off 3g. And I believe thy make wigets to go from edge to 3g

I go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode
And switch from GSM/WCDMA to GSM Only. This changes it from HSDPA/3G to Edge.
I have to admit i'm not sure why, but it does.
I only get one bar on H, but four bars on E @ my house, so I switch it all the time. I have WIFI @ home for data anyway...
I also miss having access to the network setting from the upper right corner of 1.6
Not sure why they took that away since the icons are still there...

Be careful with radio updates, but I would try the latest t-mobile OTA kernel if you haven't already (and assuming you're on t-mobile in the US)

Yes, most definitely be careful with any kind of radio update, should've said that. Where could one find that kernel?

Switch the icons to 2G/4G and you won't have any problems.

I just downloaded the first zip and also flashed it but idk it hasn't installed properly I c sill the 3g and H changing constantly and not been steady

That's cuz if your in a service area with H coverage the device will switch to H when you need data, it will idle on 3G since H would devour the battery. Its normal what your seeing bro.
