Yes. Quote from the spec sheet:
HSDPA/WCDMA: Europe: 2100 MHz / US:1700/2100 MHz
Up to 7.2 Mbps down-link (HSDPA) and 2 Mbps up-link (HSUPA) speeds Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency, HSUPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)

Actual up/down thoroughput is more limited at this point by T-Mo's 3G buildout and network load than the hardware on the G1 at the moment.

Is HSDPA enabled as default? I've only been reaching speeds of 300-400Kbits/s.

It doesn't have to be enabled, it comes under the generic '3g' option.
It depends on whether your local tower is HSPDA enabled. Most are these days in cities, but there's the odd one that doesn't handle it... and if you get out into the countryside you may find there's no 3G at all.
How are you measuring it? The browser rendering speed is limited by the CPU for example, so it isn't significantly faster on Wifi than it is on 3G (you could tether & use a laptop to mitigate this).
Even the speed test programs aren't great, as they test against US servers which means they're measuring the speed of the link between here and their servers in the US rather than the phone speed.. Xtreme Labs Speedtest for example gives a reading of 247Kbps on a 15Mbps link over wireless, and 133Kbps on 3G (My dongle can pull 6Mbps off the same cell).

I've seen a solid 788/113k from my 3G, in Central CA, via XL Speed Test. Much better than the 300k I used to get on my Hermes (Edge only).
I wat to see how the network fairs in SF/LA on my next trip.

There's a way to tell without a speed test. Use anycut or bettercut program and create a shortcut to phone info. It should say "network: UMTS". HSDPA isn't active yet. It will have a big "H" by the signal bars when it's turned on like any other HTC phone. Phone info is a great way to change your preferred networks over such as "WCDMA only", "GSM only",or "WCDMA preferred". Humm... maybe I'm wrong this speed seems really fast for regular old UMTS. I checked my HSDPA CQI Status using the fieldtest shortcut and had some activity. What do you guys think? Could google be foolish enough not to include a "H" icon for HSDPA when all other HTC phones do?

UMTS maxes out at at 384kbps, and your speed test clearly shows faster speeds than this, so you are definitely in HSDPA territory.

I've never seen a "H" appear in the top and believe that it doesn't have one. It is just included under the "3G" symbol and anything slower than that I get a "G".
Getting about 900k in York, UK.

Yeah, I thought UMTS maxed out at 400 kbit per sec also. That's crazy about the "3G" icon not changing into an "H" icon. It's so un-HTC like... on well. Guess it was a WM thing. Weird though, "G" will change into "E" and then into "3G" but that's it?! Oh well, I guess I'm a little too hung up on this, lol. I'll leave it alone now.

Something in the back of my mind wants to say that WCDMA and HSPDA are similar and sometimes interchangable. And because of terminology issues 3G is now used instead to signal WCDMA/HSPDA

Actually depends on the 3G release the service provider is using... for instance R99 would max out as 384 yes, but R4 which introduces HSDPA can max out at 14.4Mbps down and R5 which introduces HSUPA can max out at 2Mbps UP.

Yes, we know! The point is that "standard UMTS" (for want of a better phrase), as opposed to "UMTS with HSDPA", maxes out at 384kbps. This nomenclature is based solely on the observation that many phones represent a 384K 3G connection with a "U" or "3G" and HSDPA with an "H".

The only icons for signals are G, E, and 3G. This seems like a OS issue as it's not included in the framework-res.apk.

Says H

But isn't HSDPA considered 3.5G?

Well since I see this thread here. I know in VA on my HD2 after i put energy rom on it, I DO get a H from T-Mobile. I know they have it here but not rolled it out officially on their phones unless you have your phone modded to access it.
My G1 however is only stuck on 3G so makes me think G1 cant do H? Or does it need a custom rom for it to be enabled? Anyone know?

Why my G1 doesn't switch to HSDPA ??
Sorry to get out this old thread, but I didn't find any informations about my problem ...
My phone : G1 (from Orange, France) rooted with Cyanogen Mod 6.0.0 Stable and radio : 2.22.23.02.
I'm sure to be in an HSDPA zone because when I put my sim in a Samsung Spica (stock rom), it switches to HSDPA.
I didn't manage to make my G1 to switch to HSDPA. Every time I check in "settings/state", it's always in UMTS mode (signal intensity : -63dB)
More : I tried to downgrade to the previous radio : 2.22.19.26I. No more success.
I try to modify the build.prop without any improvements too.
Note : For each test, I always checked the state of the connection in settings, and make speed test with XtremLabs Speedtest. Nevers get download upper than 357Kbites/s ...
Hope somebody have some advices or explanation ...
Thanks for your help !

I tethered my desktop machine to my G1 and then ran the mobilespeedtest website- I was hitting ridiculous numbers that were stupid unbelievable! I blew away the highest rating on their chart be several multiples. I think there was something funny going on with the test since I would get better results with larger downloads. I could be off by a factor of 10, but I think my download speed was in the ballpark of 14,000 kbps. It seemed ridiculous, so I didn't think it was real. I can hit 2000-3000 kbps sometimes with just my phone on mobilespeedtest.com
I was the Chicago when I tested it and hit those ridiculous speeds. I also tested it in Miami, which has the HPSA+ upgrade and it seemed faster in Chicago, but I wasn't able to test it tethered with my desktop machine.
I know these numbers seem off the charts and there might be something that was throwing them off.
EDIT: I checked the results - 7,143 kbps and 26,230 kbps. If my math is correct, that's almost 200MB/min! Again, I think there is something wrong with the test, but the 7K number might be reasonable?

HSDPA not working on t-mobile in the UK?

I have a TD2 and over the last few days I have had no Internet access/data connection over HSDPA on T-Mobile in the UK. This includes weather tab updates/youtube app/Opera/Microsoft MyPhone etc. When using GPRS and WiFi there are no problems. I have enough signal so I am at a loss. I have also performed a hard reset to no avail.
Can anybody state whether they are able to connect to data via HSDPA on T-Mobile in the UK?
Many thanks
Tony

Working fine here and getting damn good speeds actually(260k/s). Try unticking 'use proxy server' in connection settings.

Working ok for me yesterday, uploaded photos to Facebook no probs. Though I continually get error dialogs when moving from a 3G to non-3G area. As I live in a non-3G area I am thinking of disabling it for now.

Is your problem just in one location? I've had days where 3G didn't work at all in a particular location, next day it was fixed. I believe t-mobile is rolling out a program of combined cell towers and equipment with 3 Network, so certain cells become unavailable for a while.
I've also had the problem where "H" shows with good signal strength, yet unable to get internet connectivity through the cell, due to a network problem.
To be frank, in the 2-3 months I've been on t-mobile I've seen a marked deterioration in service such as poor speeds and cells unwilling to handoff data connections. I think too many people have been signed up

I've actually left T-Mobile after being with them (one2one) for over 15years. 3G speeds really inferior to o2. Had friends o2 sim in my TD2 and got 500k, on T-Mobile 50k to 157k (If I'm lucky)

It's most likely that you are right with this info particularly paragraph 2. Hopefully things will improve

T-mobile is currently inergrating its 3G HSDPA network with 3s so speeds should be better by the end of the year..
they are predicting speeds of 4.5mbps by the end of the year.

The integration is not quite as much as you might expect. The plan was just to share masts, using separate t-mobile and 3 antennas, and probably linking into a shared feed to their respective routing centres, or whatever they're called.
It seems to be more "infrastructure sharing" rather than merging. Obviously, if there is a 3 mast in what is now a poor t-mobile reception area you would get a better signal with a new t-mobile antenna on that mast.
But I wouldn't hold your breath, you've probably heard the news in the last day or so that t-mobile will shortly be merged with orange
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8243226.stm, so I really can't see the t-mobile - 3 collaboration going much further than what's been done already.
I noted from details of this new merger: "Integrating the businesses would cost between £600m and £800m, the firms said. This bill would include decommissioning mobile phone masts"
So, that's the same number of users and fewer masts. Hmm...

260kbs! that is shockingly slow for hspda

Slow ? Thats over 2 megabit/s - some people done even get that on their landline broadband. Of course it go faster but is going to be limited at the network end. Two meg is more than enough for me out and about though!

[Q] No 2G on N9005

Hey guys, first timer here. Having a bit of issues with H+ / 2G and 4.4.2 battery drain.
I know that 4.4.2 has a battery drain bug that will be addressed with the launch of 4.4.3 and so I'll have to just keep waiting until it reaches my phone. However, I'm using the LIME network here in Jamaica and I'm unable to get 2G. This being the case, my phone stays on H+ while I'm on the road and this kills my battery very rapidly. What I usually do with my note 2 was to keep it on 2G until I needed to browse and that would allow my battery to last for up to about 16 hours.
When I select GSM only, I don't get any data whatsoever. When I check with my provider, they claim that the 2G band on my phone probably isn't compatible with theirs. I find this strange, because this note 3 is an international version. Are there any tricks, hacks or anything that anyone can give me to get 2G on demand and save some battery?
Ps. I normally use 'tellinfo' on the note 2, but it apparently isn't compatible with the N9005. Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

ask operator for their band specifications and then search it to find flashable package of modem of
N9005 that s compatible with urs.
then flash that modem.zip Or flash whole rom of another region

Are you sure, that there is 2G coverage in your area?

Many phone flashed with Super imei facing this problem, comform your imei number typing in keypad *#06# , compare with sticker under battery or box.

Well I don't know how it was flashed, but when I typed that in, I got a different imei than what's on the back of the phone. Is there any way I can fix it back? The phone keeps coming off the network and saying not registered, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a fix for this problem but u need to tack your mobile to Mobile service shop who has a TOOL SPT Box, look below link.

Sounds promising. I'll get on it Monday morning and post back here with the results. This should work for the 2G issue, but what do I need to do about the changing imei? I'd much rather get the phone back on the original

Additionally, I hear mention from a couple of persons that they ended up taking their phones to repair shops and had them do it. Is it that special hardware has to be used along with the spt software; or can I just connect up to my laptop with the software and do it myself?

Redmi 3s network issue

Hi guys,
I have been facing really bad network issue for redmi 3s prime.. Basically there is alot of people facing this issue.. The problem is when network drop to 2g it will not revert back to 3g or 4g.. One of the facing issue sometimes when i drop it will go to IWLAN..
The workaround tips is we use 2 sims and sacrifice our sd card..which some of us dowan to..one other tip is to open gps and open google maps and let it run on background..which will drain our battery..
Some of the user said it is kernel issue, some rom issue and some said it is hardware issue..
I hope someone here will help to sort this problem..
Thanks and best regards..

My redmi 3s network is also week

same problem here! 3s Prime international

Yeah, I'm facing also quite poor battery life due to this continuous network search / reconnecting problem. The workarounds mentioned above, using 2nd sim slot makes a difference? Don't get the tip with maps... With active GPS the reconnect 2G - 4G e.g. Works? But GPS is a known bug by (most/all) cm based roms? I really hope the official kernel source will fix it. I'm using the international version of the phone as well, with b20 lte (as long as it's connected to it )

I have tried:
- Second SIM - did not fix it, seems to work for a short period, but was down to 2G again.
- GPS - sometimes works other times no.
Issue isn't with 4G for me, only with 3G. my phone will only connect to 4G and if it drops off 4G goes straight to 2G even with full 3G reception. I have only seen it connected to 3G on the odd occasion.
Kernel source is not likely to fix it. Only fix (if software) has to be the modem firmware I think.

I had a similar problem with 3s prime purchased from India. Turns out that the network problem is caused by the lack of bands in the phone. Eg. My network runs on the 850 Mhz and 2100 Mhz but phone had 900 and 2100Mhz. so when there is a variation in the network bands I used to get call drops and no network. Even I phone used to get 2 bars in the remote area but I had no service.
There are so many versions of the phone out there. you need to be careful which one you choose. If you have network problems, my money is on the lack of bands in the hardware.
I have these right now compared to 4G: FDD LTE B1/3/7/8/20(2100/ 1800/ 2600/ 900/ 800MHz), TD-LTE B40(2300MHZ) TD-LTE 2300(band 40) FD-LTE 1800(band 3) / 850(band 5)
3G WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz UMTS 2100 / 900 MHz
2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz GSM 1800 / 900 MHz.
Although some models are "international version" they may not have all the bands. I cant find the links now as I already got my phone 2 weeks ago but I know for sure that I have looked at many international versions not having all the bands.

My operator uses 900 mhz and 2100 mhz
My phone has never, ever connected to 900 mhz band
Your operator must use two bands atleast for one connection
Try to disable it, its very easy to undo the process
Feedback me with results. Regards

Exactly the same in my case. I disabled the 2100 and it is working better. But also I still dont have any 4G network

I encounter the same problem ! Disabling all the LTE band and 3G band and leaving only the B20 LTE band and 2G band make the phone works properly in 4G.
(My Carrier is Bouygues Telecom in France. It uses the B3 and B20 band for the LTE)
This is really usefull as the phone was really so unstable i coulnd't use it normally to call or receive calls neither receiving or sending sms !
With this trick, at last i can use my phone.

(Experimental) Enabling 2xCA support support in RN4 - Mido

Mi Guys,
(Standard word of Caution: Risk of bricking your phone! Only proceed with, if you understand what you're doing)
After becoming very happy to see dev supports on our Mido, I was very desperate onto enabling LTE+ (Actual 4G) on our device over Bands 3/5/40 for Indian 4G only operator JIO.
SD625 - Actual Hardware supports it so if software support is enabled theoretically it should work...
Hence I followed this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/enabled-4g-ca-p2-t3707584)
After using 549755813908 value and restarting the phone, I got very happy to see 4G+ on MIUI9. BUT BUT BUT, Phone actually doesn't aggregate with two carriers still! What happens now is whenever the phone is in Band 3 or 5, this + sign just appears.
After that, I flashed NOS ROM and even now, LTE+ appears, but actual carrier aggregation doesn't happen. I can confirm No Data Speed improvement whatsoever and can confirm same using NSG App. Pls, check Screenshots attached. Any leads are most welcome!

Hence I followed this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/enabled-4g-ca-p2-t3707584)
After using 549755813908 value and restarting the phone, I got very happy to see 4G+ on MIUI9. BUT BUT BUT, Phone actually doesn't aggregate with two carriers still! What happens now is whenever the phone is in Band 3 or 5, this + sign just appears.
After that, I flashed NOS ROM and even now, LTE+ appears, but actual carrier aggregation doesn't happen. I can confirm No Data Speed improvement whatsoever and can confirm same using NSG App. Pls, check Screenshots attached. Any leads are most welcome!

Band 5 has slow speed due to its 5Mhz bandwidth. Remove it and try locking on B3 or B40. I am sure it will provide you faster speeds. B3 has 10Mhz and B40 has 20Mhz bandwidth.
So i removed band 5 from my phone to have better speed and it worked.

ChinaTelecom 4G Band1+Band3
Mido Can not use it

is there any trick to use internet on 3g sim and 4g sim volter for calling only, means if i change default internet to sim other then jio , then jio should get network only for calling

While that correct, the point about this post was to enable CA in Mido. Most of the articles point 625 chipset aggregates stably over Band5 with 3/40. Anyways it doesn't aggregate on any bands, as I explained

Yeah, chipset supports it, but Mido doesn't

So far nope..

May be this is due to locked nv values. When was trying to modify nv values for LTE bands i found that many other values were disabled.

So, what is ur final suggestion? Should we unlock ca and b40 to get 10m+ speeds or shouldn't we?!

By NV values did you mean changing RFNV LTE B(x=No.) CA BC CONFIG..? If so thats exactly what I tried and it didn't work to me

You can try to enable 2CA by following my thread. But it doesn't connect 2CA as expected hence no speed improvement so far.., I have no clue what is going wrong. Thus I created this thread to gather some inputs by some experienced guys who know about this..

With this error hint, I have to close this post I guess. Don't buy Redmi Mid range you are looking to escape carrier congestion

It was proven it doesn't work, since why OP removed all the files.

It's useless even in those bands the jio speed is capped.
FUP=fair usage policy :silly:
