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.
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:

You could try playing around with the service menu.

My provider only uses HSPA +/LTE, the phone always downgrades to hspa (non +) and sometimes 3g which my provider doesn't support so I loose my data connection and it sometimes takes a really long time for it to go back to the proper hspa+ that I need it to use all the time. Anybody knows if I can somehow force the phone to use hspa+ 100% of the time?
Thanks

Switch to HSPA+ only mode. Probably wont work with phone calls unless you VOIP.
How??

You must be mixing up HSPA+ with LTE. I don't think there's a way to choose between HSPA/HSPA+/UMTS, they're all considered 3G or WCDMA (unless you're in Canada.. carriers lie here, those networks shown as 4G are actually 3G)

Well when my phone shows 3g or hspa I cant get anything to load online, it will stay on this mode for a while sometimes and then as soon as the phone shows hspa+ everything loads perfect. Every othere phone I have bought from Bell mobility in canada show hspa+ all the time.

I also had an unlocked Note 2 with exynos processor that did the same thing.

I just tried making a call with my Note 3 (S800) and it was able to make a call on HSPA+ on TELUS. I think either your location doesn't have good HSPA+ signal / it's overloaded or there's a problem with the phone, does it support all the 3G frequencies Bell uses?

I know, you said "switch to HSPA+ only but you may not be able to make calls." You can switch to LTE only and you will not be able to make calls. You can make calls on HSPA+.

call #9090#.
Will bring up configuration menu.
Should be tons of radio mode options. One should be HSPA+ only.
Must be the wrong code, *9090* doesn't do anything and *#9090# brings me to a service menu which has no radio settings
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Bell mobility uses "UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850 and 1900 MHz bands" which is supported by the note 3, I just dont get why both my unlocked exynos note 2 (got rid of it 1 month after I bought it because of this problem) and also the exynos note 3 have this problem on bell mobility in canada.....

You can always edit data retry to a smaller number in your build.prop.
"ro.telephony.default_network" is the build.prop entry for which default network you're on. You could figure out which one of those corresponds to HSPA+ (probably through trial and error).
**edit
Oh, you may just have to flash a new modem then O.0
My N9005 is missing quite a few radios at the moment as well.
Wish I could do all of that lol

Maybe there is sime kind of problem with your sim and/or phone...
I'm with Virgin (owned by Bell and same network). My device is switching between 3G and HSPA+... And it's working perfectly fine.

see if this works:
Settings > More Networks (under connections) > Mobile Networks > Network Mode = choose the option which you like and see if it works.
heads up, even with settings forced from here my network sometimes fluctuates.

You may also turn on/off lte thru Settings -> Networks -> Tethering & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network mode.

it doesn't have 'Global' menu there. just Automatic, LTE, WCDMA and GSM only.
but whenever I choose Automatic, it returns to 3G data speeds or WCDMA.
anyways I got into this 4G Data speed but like you have said, I can't accept any calls at all.
Here's some added pictures..
I don't know but i dont see any LTE OR 4G settings at Settings.

I had the same issue, i was using the d80210b-SEA, until i flashed the EUR after following the guide and downloading the stock image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
i was able to then enable LTE from prefered networks. which stays after reboot.
have you tried using *#*#4636#*#* ->phone information ->LTE/GSM auto (PRL)?
