Hey guys, quick question. I can't get the "H" or 4G icon anymore. It stays at 3G no matter where I am, even on places I always got the H. I have tried several roms, no difference. I am on the sense 3.5 beta from virtuous right now. Any ideas?

Its only going to be on H/4G when actively using data; when not actively using data it will drop back down to 3G to save battery.

Thanks for the response, but I know. Usually it does, however, now it's not doing it.

Every rom Im on forces me to go on 1x instead of 3g. 3g only works on the stock rom. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If the roms you're running happen to be aosp roms, then its showing your "true" connection. The stock rom will almost never show when you have 1x because that's how sprint/htc wanted it. On aosp if your connection is really bad (3G) it will show 1x if that's what you really have. To do some test of your own id recommend downloading "mobile signal widget" from the market and compare signal strength both data/voice.

i kno in the frederick, md area they just put some 4G (pretty signifcant too) coverage in the downtown area (5-6mbps so far)...so if ur in that area it might maybe have somethin to do with it. my gf had 3g up until today (after a fix supposedly), but now she's on 1x. so im guessin they're puttin more coverage up. cuz over the last few days ive been getting a wider and wider spectrum of 4G in different places in the surrounding area(s).
i'll do the 3G fix once i get a sense rom flashed, and check it out with a update on this thread posting.
Okay so I was with my friend last night who has the same rom as me (CM7) and he had 3G while I still had 1x. Now I have no idea what's going on

hey...
so i've been having this weird behavior where the phone would constantly drop from H to 3g and go back to H even when i would be getting full H signal...
no matter which ROM i flashed the same issue kept happening... same goes for the radio I tried flashing two different radios and the same problem happened ... any body else experiencing something similar?
Yep, I have the same "issue". Its not really an issue since the phone only shows H when its actually transferring data and will show 3G otherwise. I almost don't notice a lag between the switching anymore, if there is any...

Wrong. I have a H (now 4G with tmobile gingerbread leak) always unless I'm in an area that doesn't have 4g. Maybe on custom roms that happens but not on stock froyo that came with it(tmobile g2) and GB leak

Same here. Mine will always show 3G unless I'm transferring data. I don't notice any lag at all, and it's always been like this across different roms. My girlfriends myTouch 3G does the same thing as well so I don't think it's an issue, maybe it's the radio trying to save battery, but I really wouldn't know.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The stock rom will always show H even though it may not be until you start transferring data. Custom roms normally can tell the difference unlike stock is what a few devs have told me about it, so I wouldn't worry
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
This has been discussed before on the forum and is normal behaviour for the stock DZ rom. I think the conclusion was clever power saving. As HSDPA and HSPA+ are releases of the 3G standard it is normally seamless to go between them so when data is active it will try and go to H while idling at the more power efficient 3G.
This behaviour can be configured which is why some roms show signals differently. The stock behavior of the G2 shows H all the time i think even though its dropping to 3G.

ok so i got a text message from tmobile yesterday morning saying i have been throttled because of the amount used... ive been throttled before and have had speeds of about 56kbps but this time my speeds have not been slowed down. has anybody else had this happen to them? im running cm7 and i did recently change the radio a few weeks ago to fix the gps issue my current speeds are
2.98mb download
1.54mb upload
those are the speeds i usually get here in this area and i have used 5.51 GB of data
I guess nobody huh

Curious as to what radio you are using and are you always on 3g/4g? We don't get it here so I just wait until I go to work where they have it out there

Even if they do, just switch to edge only networks. Not to be rude but this (exactly what your talking about) has been gone over a lot. There are people, you just gotta search and find it.

12.50.60.24U _26.08.04.16_M that's the baseband for it I don't really remember what thread I got it from and I always have it for 3g only even though its been more than 24 hours since I got the throttled message my speeds are still fast

I never have more than one bar of service on my evo, at best two bars. My reception is -84 dBm. I live in Houston so the area is not the problem. Everything else is working great. Any advice on fixing? Though I would try here before calling sprint.

Did you update the radio recently?
Yeah I updated my radios and everything else from here.

If that's when it started you should revert back to a previous version.
Its also true that after you update a radio you should update your prl and data profile
No this has been going on for a while now, I was hoping the radios would help and they did for 3g speed. Just my service blows. What is considered a good dBm?

You mean it's always this bad with that phone or it's always this bad no matter which Sprint phone you have?
I have a HTC evo 4g, I think I noticed right after I rooted it last November. Running cm7 rom.

Rooting won't do anything related to that...
CM7 tends to be more accurate on displaying your real reception.
You may just be at the edge of a tower.
In my settings, (Mobile network state: disconnected). Could that be it?

you wanna talk about bad service!!
I just pray to God none of you are from west Michigan... our network has been over its capacity since December 22, 2010.. I know this cause I work at a service and repair store, makes me want to hurt a child.
texts come in hours/days late and if they do come in.. it comes in 5+ times... calls take 45-50 seconds to connect, voicemails come in DAYS later, you will have a missed call and your phone never rang.. internet is almost impossible. makes me hate my job!!!
I was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem. My evo tends to time out on 3g, especially when I download a rom. The 3g indicator just goes dark and will stay that way for a couple minutes. It wouldn't be a big problem but I don't have hi speed where I live so every Rom I download is through my phone internet. When the 3g times out it causes the Rom download to fail. Has anyone else had this problem and what can you do to fix it? It's irritating having to download a rom 5 plus times

This only happened to me when I was on stock. Now that I'm on a custom ROM, it doesn't happen anymore. I notice you are on a custom rom, so I'm sure that's not the problem.
It may be a coverage problem. It also happens to me when I'm switching from 3g to 1X, so that may be it.
The area I'm in has almost full signal. I've actually experienced this more on custom roms then when i was on stock.

Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.

My 3g does not work on roms outside of stock sense roms. I've read where others says sense roms always show 3g even if you are getting a 1x signal but my wife has an evo 4g, unrooted, as well and my 1x is way slower then her 3g signal. I 1x signal won't load web pages in most cases. I downloaded the most recent OTA and then flashed a rom after words but still no 3g.
Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.
After I flashed the new radios etc. I tried to download a rom overnight. When I got up it said download failed, then I remembered to update prl and what not. After i updated things were ok until I tried out my 4G. I was having major issues with it not downloading. It was extremely slow. I was using the shooter ROM when these problems started so I flashed another ROM and haven't had any problems so far. Is it possible for a rom to affect 3g and 4G performance?

This isn't necessarily true. Most custom ROMs show 1x. However the stock does not. Also, 1x should be slower than 3g.

Sorry if I wasn't clear but that was my point. Thats what most people "say" about roms showing 1x and my 1x is slower then my wife 3g so I know its not that we don't have 3g in our area, its the rom. Right now I'm using R2R-green-R3, which has a 4g LTE icon and faster then the 1x rom I was using before. I flashed the honeycomb theme over it looks great and works great!

It shouldn't be the rom causing you to get 1x, have you tried updating prl/profile? I've run multiple custom roms and never had a problem. Areas where I know get 1x show it, but areas that get 3g show 3g and have 3g speeds
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I did up date the prl/profile but still no 3g. I'm at 3g speed now so its not a problem. Maybe I did something wrong on the other rom?
