So my phone is for no reason switching from H+ to E and then switching back to H+ few sec later...
It's not like I have 0 or 1 bar on H+ it doing it even with 4 bars.. It's pretty annoying I'm on chrome want to open a page and it switches for no reason and I have to wait til it switches back to load the page...
Is anyone facing the same thing?
Put the phone in lte mode only

Up until yesterday i was nearly always getting then H (hsdpa) icon on my Hero. Now im getting the 3G icon. But when i use an app that required the data connection it changed to H. It's annoying because it takes around 5-10 seconds to change and while its changing the app doesnt seem to have any data connection.
Does anyone else experience this? And can anyone tell me why up until yesterday it was always H and now only goes to H when the data connection is needed? I haven't changed any settings or installed anything in the past few days.
It may just be your providers local cell tower that is having issues rather than the Hero. Drop them a call first to see if there are any reported problems.
According to my provider theirs no issues in my area.
I just dont understand how mine can change from always being a H to being 3G changing to H when i use data. It's really annoying because when i open browser it takes around 10 seconds for the 3G to change to H and in that time no pages load. Then if i stay on one page for a while and move to another the H has gone back to 3G so takes another 10 seconds to change.
Could anyone who gets the H symbol please do me a favour? When you wake your phone from sleep is the H symbol always showing or is it sometimes 3G changing to H when you use any app that requires data?
Thanks
I think my H icon works as it should here in Finland. H is shown only when some data is being transferred, hence it is not always being displayed when I wake the screen. Sometimes it is shown, but I think then some widget or FB integration or something like that is being updated / synchronized.
I really feel that this is correct behavior, HSPA would suck your battery dry quite fast if it would be always on.

I think your right with it being the correct behaviour. Even though it takes an extra few seconds to start the connection when browsing etc it does seem that my battery is lasting longer. Now if i could just find a way of getting it to display 3G instead of H when away from my house.

I think there's no way of crippling the HSPA functionality of the phone, phone makes the selection of using HSPA (or not) based on network's decision (decided on coverage & various measurements) and capability.
I just noticed in the last couple days that my 3G icon has changed back to the evdo icon. Anyone else notice that?
you, my keeps switching back and forth.
I think it probably depends on the location where you are at during that time, but I may be wrong. I believe it wont always be on 3G.
For the first 4 days i had the phone it was in 3G constant at my home and work. I the last 2 days I noticed its stays in EV all the time now between home work, and in Boston MA. Its strange I would feel better if i saw it pop back on but if i was in the city yesterday i have no idea where else would have a better signal.
What speeds are you getting with 3G?
I hate to ask this........if its in another forum or not but do you guys have the same problem running your internet when you are on edge. What sucks is my house switches from H to E and when on E there is no action. If there are others let me know cause I this is my second phone already due to black screen.

I get internet access on edge... it's slow but it works.
I'm having the same issue with the edge... I'm in Salt Lake City, where are you?

Same here, in southern Arizona. This is also my second phone. First one bricked mysteriously I can't access the app store or do ANYTHING data-related in EDGE mode. 3G works very well, but I get nothing whenever I'm in EDGE. At least I have wifi at home.
I've called customer support and their recommendation was to do a factory reset. I tried that, no improvement. I get slightly more stable connections after changing my radio to GSM (auto PRL) in the phone information menu, but it's still awful.
I'm thinking of calling back again in a week or so and bugging them to give me a third phone. Maybe the second batch with tighter hinges will be out by then...
I am on my third G2 and all of them have had much the same issues. All have had loose hinges. The last one I received started out by rebooting on its own as I charged it. With my Nexus One and my Vibrant I always get 1-3 bars of 3g with the G2s I get virtually no H consistently or 3g and 2-3 bars of E or a lot of G. This last one will go from suddenly having 4 bars of H to 1 bar of G it just does not stay on H and I get numerous No signals. Getting on the market at times is frustrating and downloading is a real adventure. I like the phone but am becoming disenchanted as it seems with this last G2 I am uncovering different problems every day. I have had black screen freezes random reboots etc. Also while in a conversation on the phone it put the call on hold without my doing anything. Perhaps the sensor malfunctioned and my ear hit the hold or mute button but this should not happen. I have also dropped calls and have had calls come in with no notification except for notice of voice mail after the fact. I am about ready to throw in the towel and send it back for a refund. If anyone has any ideas or fixes for any of the issues I have mentioned I would greatly appreciate hearing them
Just had a screen freeze and when it booted backup by itself it just went into a loop of home screen to black screen and home screen to black screen. Had to power off and pull battery and reboot and it now seems okay. That probably does it for me. I am tired of the constant problems and after 3 devices all with similar or same issues and more being uncovered every day,I am coming to believe that another replacement will not be the answer.
Yes this happens to me pretty often. I live in a building in Brooklyn NY, and when I am moving around in the building, my data connection goes out and I get 5 bars of signal but no data, no G, E, 3G or H+.
Also if I'm in an area where data connection or the signal is spotty, it will go from H to E and then back to E, and then give me a error about not being able to get any data connection.
I've had my phone for over a year now, and I love it except one strange quirk. I'm with T-Mobile in the midwest, and whenever my phone says 3G, no data works. Everything is fine when it says 'H'. When I'm browsing the internet, I see the status shifting from H to 3G every 30 seconds or so for a duration of about a couple seconds. When the phone is on 3G, the website stops loading, and no data works (even syncing with mail stops). The second it switches back to H, everything works 100% again. Anyone know what's going on with 3G?
Another example is Youtube buffering. When the phone is on H, I see the buffer bar fill up. When it switches to 3G, the bar stops. When it switches back to H, the bar moves again.
I love the HSPA speed, but having it cut out completely fairly often has become a huge annoyance.
Found another thread that had the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069844&highlight=3g+hspa
But the people there weren't noticing any lag at all while on my phone, there is clearly no data transfer occurring when the phone displays 3G. Also, if this is indeed some sort of power save feature, shouldn't there be no flopping if you're actively browsing? I see it switching fairly regularly while browsing/downloading, and data completely stops when the phone switches to 3G.
Found a few other threads suggesting to set hsxpa=0 in the build.prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911728
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963780
However, once I did this, I still get the H/3G flipping which is odd since I thought the hsxpa=0 would disable H? What's going on here?
Played around with the numbers, and setting it to 1 forces 3G mode only. Hope this helps anyone else!
Hey guys,
I just noticed something weird with my priv.
Everytime I use mobile data I normally get H+. But as soon as the mobiledata isn't used it switches over to 3g and once something uses the internet it takes a few seconds, nothing is loading, then it switches over to H+ and loads the page/whatever really fast.
I noticed this by playing pokemon go.
Everytime I am just standing around and no data is sent the connection indicator shows 3G. As soon as I try to catch a pokemon, open a gym or something else it takes some time to load while showing 3g, then switches over H+ and then it loads instantly.
It feels like some kind of battery saver but I just couldn't find any settings.
Does anyone else got the same problem? Maybe even a solution?
