3G=H?

I was under the impression for some time that HSPA (not plus) is 3G until my phone cycled through signals and a G came up for a little while.
The reason I ask is because I was able to edit the build.prop on my G1 to get my 3G speeds to nearly 3Mbps. Now with H, it is substantially slower.
I don't see a way to force the phone to 3G networks to try the build.prop. Is there a way to? Are H and H+ at different frequencies? And will there be a way to differentiate between those when H+ comes to my area?
Thanks.

As of right now there ready is no way to tell the difference other than running speed tests. I wish they would have kept the 3G logo for hspa and H for hspa+.

H is for 3g and 4g. There is no way to tell as of now. I do believe they run on the same signal/freq.

I agree, sometimes ill have the H and run the speed test and get about 800kbs up and down.... and sometimes ill run it and get 7MBs down and 1.3 Up

Try downloading Signal Strength Widget. It let's you know what you're running.

The G that u saw ment gprs and is slower than edge, it doesn't mean 3G.

Just download speedtest.net, run a test then click on your scores, it will tell you whether or not u are on 3g or 4g

Seconded. The Mobile Signal Widget by Empirical switches between G/E/3G/H as it should, and actually gives you a more detailed signal level than the regular bars (gives you more of them, and signal in dBm on top). Highly recommended.

Wow, very nice! That's a solid little widget. And it's showing 3G in a few places that I definitely thought were H. Very helpful, I like it. Thanks for sharing! Here's the QR code for anyone else looking for the app:

Yep, I use the signal strength widget and it tells you exactly what you're connected at. Great little widget,

U can also use netswidget I just found it. It does the same thing but looks better to me

Sprint 4G LTE coming to East Michigan?!!

So I was searching other carriers and their LTE coverage, and pretty much decided on Verizon. But I came across this article, and it mentions east Michigan's LTE is supposed to go live by the end of the year! So I think I can get by on crappy 3g and wifi for the most part and stay with sprint:fingers-crossed:

Lucky you.. Since i'm in an area with wimax, it seems there's no plan to push lte here. Leaves me with my epic till the end of my contract and see if sprint has anything by then. If not i may jump ship to a different carrier..

Yeahhh Sprint is behind, big time..i think i read last week Verizon sold some 4g spectrum to t-mobile, you could consider their value plans which are a very good deal but you have to pay retail for the phone unless you get it from Costco ( search slickdeals.net)

They hate Oklahoma too. However, sprint will bring LTE to all of these areas before the end of 2013.

Question on t-mobile network

I been using this phone over a week now and I love it. Battery is great and it last 2 days for me. I am using this on t-mobile network but on notification bar it shows 4G, Does this not support LTE? My wife is using Moto x and LTE is showing up there. Do I need to change anything? Is wifi calling possible? Please let me know.
Thanks.

Yeah the 4G means 4G LTE. I am also using the phone on T-Mobile and the status bar only says 4G, but if you go into Settings > About Phone > Status you'll see it say LTE under Cellular Network Type.

As far as Wi-Fi calling goes, I'm not sure but I would assume if the phone doesn't do it now, it probably will be able to after a future update.

This phone doesn't support band 12 which t-mobile utilizes to deliver LTE to a lot of areas. The Moto X pure has band 12.

I guess I'm just lucky? Mine will occasionally switch to HSPA+ in some spots, but most of the time, I have 4G LTE. I have the 551KL, not sure if that's the one you're referring to or one of the 550s. It's hard to keep everything straight when there are so many variants of the phone lol.
Either way OP - if it says 4G on your status bar, you have 4G LTE service wherever you are.

Thanks all for your responses, and yes I have 551KL

About 20 min north of Minneapolis. To be fair I did take it early in the morning and I knew where the tower was. That said even with a clear shot to the tower, it's still very impressive. Test was taken on Band 41 X2 CA as you can imagine. Will see how high it can go once X3 CA is lit up. This phone doesn't have CA X2 on the upload side however the HTC A9 has it which I find odd. It's not live anyway so I guess it doesn't matter right now.
While this kind of speed is great for bragging, it's under optimal circumstances. Band 41 building penetration is horrible and even outdoors it is very touchy. A lot of times I can have the tower in site and Band 41 will clunk out. I really thought once Sprint lit up Band 26 this would help solve a lot of signal strength issues but it hasn't. Even on Band 26 sometimes it will struggle to pull 2-3 down meanwhile Verizon can pull 20+ no problem and no signal issues. I don't see how Sprint could switch to VoLTE with signal being so weak in so many areas. This of course is dependent on your particular area but I would much rather have more consistent data coverage 10-20+ in more places than some crazy speeds in Band 41 areas. Too bad they are skipping the FCC auction for 600mhz, that could really boost Sprint up.

Not bad here in DFW, depending on what part of the Metroplex you're in. I was driving 70MPH on the Dallas North Tollway when I ran this test yesterday:

Nexus 4 lte

I'm trying to get lte working on my brother's nexus 4 on T-Mobile. I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. If any one has a possible solution, please let me know. Thanks.

The sim is LTE capable?

Yes,I tried his sim card in my t-mobile galaxy note 3 and lte worked just fine. It could be that band 4 lte isn't suporrted in my end of the woods.

How sure are you that your Galaxy Note 3 is getting LTE?
I have MetroPCS; I have the N4, and a LG K7. The K7 in my house claims I get 4G LTE, but speed tests show EDGE speeds. The N4 claims I only get EDGE in my house, and gets EDGE speeds. I went out to a major city though and my N4 showed LTE.

n4 lte on metro pcs

I would try changing your apn to fast.metropcs.com. If that doesn't work then flash the zip.

Is sim card for your carrier activated? If so it could be your cellular provider's coverage for your area. The Nexus 4 only supports band 4 LTE. If band 4 isn't supported in your coverage area, there is not much for me to suggest.
