Hello,
is there a way to turn on 3G but with disabled HSPA/HSDPA (3.5G). I only want 3G.
I know 3G is not as fast as HSPA/HSDPA.
For Galaxy S it works like this:

Thanks
You could try playing around with the service menu.

I almost always have data on edge, except when its below two bars. Now when ever i get more signal then edge, it switches to 3g...the problem is that I get only about 2 bars of 3g inside buildings, and I never have data working at that point, not edge. I have no way to turn off 3g as I dont have the option in any setting.
What should I do I can't take this anymore. By the way I'm runing custom rom froyo.
Thanks for all the help, danny

What rom are you running? I've not seen a rom that doesn't have that option under Mobile Networks (WCDMA/GSM). GSM would be EDGE and WCDMA would be the 3G option.
How TO enable 3G no htc DESIRE HD. I am not getting any options in settings to enable 3G . Even in network mode i get gsm and wcdma. Pls help

WCDMA is 3G en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-CDMA_(UMTS) read the first line
Are you sure about this
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Yes I'm sure. What else than 3G would it be as GSM (2G) is already separated there in the options? The DHD isn't a 4G phone so it can't be that.
In what way do you need to enable 3G ie how did you come to that conclusion that it's not on?
In that case that I misunderstood you and you mean how to enable mobile network then go to Settings -> Wireless & networks and tick the Mobile network box. In order for this to work you have to have the correct APN settings from your network provider.
I turned it on but the problem is sometimes I get H written on data indicator sometimes I get 3G written

Don't worry, H and 3g are really the same thing. Don't believe me? Do a line speed test
My Xperia x10 behaves the same way! By after testing the dl speed i quickly realized they where the same. My maximum speed is 689 kb/s. On 3g and H, on g its 3-6 kb/s

That isn't exactly right as there is WCDMA (UMTS basically the most used), HSPA (HSDPA, HSUPA) and various others as FOMA, CDMA and sometimes even EDGE is considered 3G. They all vary in terms of speed and they mostly overlap in cities. So the reason for your test results might be that you have a limited speed from your operator, low signal on a faster network etc.
Someone with more knowledge on the exact htc symbols can explain in to which categories the 3g and H represent. The H symbol means that you are on one of the fastest networks and the next would be 4G but the device doesn't support it.
I think the H shows that the phone is using HSPA connection (currently the fastest 3G standard I think) and 3G and so on when the connection is slower.

You can have 3 different indicators for mobile internet (apart from WIFI) on your Desire HD.
G is very slow, but it's what you get when you have the Network Mode set to GSM only.
H is the fastest you can get when you have Network Mode set to WCDMA Only or WCDMA/GSM.
Whenever you have Network Mode set to WCDMA Only or WCDMA/GSM and it shows 3G, this means H is not available but you are using 3G connection. The speed of your connection is obviously between G and H.
Basically G<3G<H

You obviously have 3G enabled, the H just stands for fast 3G connection.
G<E<3G<H

Thanks for the clarification

UMTS/WCDMA is the 3G standard whereas GSM is a 2g standard.
While in a 2G network your phone may show E or G which stand for EDGE and GPRS respectively.
In a 3G network you may get H or 3G which is HSPA(high speed packet access) and 3Generation respectively.
As mentioned earlier by others the speed in increasing order is-
G<E<3G<H.
I hope that makes it clear.
Popped my sim back into my tab which is flashed to make phone calls and I got hsdpa on att. Made a google search. Loaded it very quickly then kicked me off the network. Had to reboot to get back back on. So does that possibly mean that its att and not the t mous tabs that's keeping them from getting 3g.
I have data roaming off so no chance of wandering to diff network

Try uninstalling juice defender. Juice defender has a problem where it starts making its own decisions and disabling/enabling mobile data whenever it feels needed. I dont think its an att problem. When you rebooted, did u lose connection to the network again after a while?

No its a t mous tab on atts 3g network. That's not supposed to exist

Sorry I didn't clarify that. Just wondering if anyone else has seen hsdpa on their tmous tab on att

Usually flashing to stock fixes all issues. I would suggest doing that and recustomizing to your needs and seeing if the problem arrives.

Yes by flashing your tab to be able to make phone calls, that means you flash it with a european rom. Your tab turns into a european tab and att use the same band as europe for 3G data. That's why you have 3g and phone capability.
Here's what haopens when I put my sim in.
Keep in mind its a t mobile tab
Tab starts
Tab finds att gets on att network
Tab then picks up hsdpa from att
Tab does google search and then is promptly kicked off the network. Have to restart tab to get back on network.
After restart tab then finds att and edge only. Should I constantly have hsdpa on the flashed. Tmous tab on atts network or is getting it on start up a fluke.

K dialed *#0011# and the tab is definiately getting 3g. Its on wcdma 850 at -105. But the h refuses to appear next to the bars.

It depends on the signal strength. You won't always get H sign, sometimes one meter can make a difference it depends on the place where you are.

T-Mobile TAB hardware supports AWS band (2100 down 1700 Up) for 3G. AT&T 3G is 850/1900.
Here is what is happening in your TAB. You have an AT&T SIM in a TMobile Tab. I find's TMO 3G network but is unable to connect since you have a AT&T SIM.
Obviously you cannot connect to AT&T 3G network because your TAB cannot connect to AT&T 3G bands.
no doubt, the OP is liar! the picture is actual att tab , not tmo one.
I own both att and tmo tab.
tmo tab has no way to get att 3G with any modem (include att one).

It is a fact that you will not get AT&T 3G on the T-Mobile Tab or vise versa. They use different bands. So the hardware won't allow it, which can't be fixed by flashing a different ROM no matter what.
Or by flashing a different modem either!

Just got my nexus 4 yesterday. Love it. But the phone is jumping wildly between 3g and hspa+ in a service area that my note 2 had no trouble holding a 4g signal. wondering if this is a Sim card issue, or if anyone else is having similar problems?
Yes, that is how its supposed to work. Carrier branded phone just don't show the change in the status bar. It is functioning the exact same way.
Nothing to worry about.
Just a heads up, the N4 doesn't show a H+ logo but just the H.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and make sure your network says HSPAP

It's jumping between hspap and umts. Driving me nuts!
It will only switch to HSPAP when needed otherwise it will stay on umts in order to save battery life. No worries this is normal

Your note 2 is doing the exact same thing. All gsm phones do this. It idles on 3g and when data is called it switches to hspa.

T-Mobile makes the icon for both UMTS and HSPA+ the same icon that's why do you not see it change. Google makes the icons the way the network mode is.
That makes sense! Thanks so much for the help.
Im running cm 10.1.2 it works great I live were tmobile has lte. so I flash LTE radio and that works great. my apn is tmobel us LTE and my preferred network mode is lte/gsm/wcdma. Sometimes when I drive outside lte coverage zone or in on a weak spot my preferred network mode will change to csm/wcdma. Is this normal? I was driving and I just lost signal the other day Im guessing this is why. I got a screen shot of a app that shows I get lte or hspap with lte/gsm/wcdma. Should I not get both hspap and lte with this setting. Im guessing the phone could not get lte so it changed the profile? Can it do that?. When I was out of the coverage area tried to change it back to let/gsm/wcdma but it defaulted to csm/wcdma.. On reboot it defaults to lte/gsm/wcdma. so i know its working thanks for reading my thread.
I'm pretty sure that is normal. My phone does the same.

So when your phone changes profile when it gose into a lte zone dose it drops signal or any thing?
I want to say mind dose for a second as the profile changes then if I go back into a LTE zone it will change back. But im not sure as I have only been running this build for a few days and I mostly stay in a LTE zone.
Yes basically disconnects for a sec then changes.

Just wondering why that is? does lte/gsm/wcdma not support hspap? Because my app screen shot told me on that profile i get hspap and lte .
I'm not really sure. But I do not understand why the nexus 4 handles this Network change so slowly. It's annoying at times.
