HSPA+ Icon - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Am I the only one who notices that their is not an H+ Icon for Ice Cream Sandwich? Is there a way to add one?

Stock Android and AOSP never had one. HSPA+ is just a different version of HSPA so the H icon is still valid. Why do you even care?

When you're on H it is connected to the faster speed...
you could always open up a ROM and take out the images, make a new one that's H+, and put it back in place of the H icons...

Am sure OP would like to know when the phone is connected to a HSPA+ service instead of HSPA without having to go to about phone...

No i definitely haven't I have been in all the same areas that I used to get it on my S2 and still haven't seen it, I dont think the GN has a symbol for it :/
stock android doesnt support custom connection icon's(letters).
GSM Nexus displays a "H" when connected to HSDPA.

Why's this? Surely it shows G, 3G and H then why not H+?

GSM HSPA+ displays "H" always
i'm sure cm9 will add support to show H+ should you indeed be in a HSPA+ capable area.
silly, google, they didn't show the HSPA icon on the nexus one and now they ignore the HSPA+ icon
to bad that HSPA+ isn't available at my place yet
I'm confused by you guys' posts. The G.Nex does tell you when its on 4(faux)G by displaying and H instead of simply "3G".
I hope the complain in this thread isn't because theres no "+" after the H.
note, there's HSPA and HSPA+. hence my post.
I live in the Dallas area and I have yet to see anything other than H on my Nexus and this is definitely a Tmobile FauxG area.

No, H is a very good internet speed here in the UK, but H+ is when you're in a better 3G area
With the S2 I got the H symbol at home and the H+ symbol at college, internet was much improved plus its nice to see it

Yeah I think the final answer is that AOSP doesn't have the + version of the H icon. Maybe we'll see it in the future

I am on tmobile and this is how the icons are:
2G: E
3G: 3G
"4G": H

I got my nexus and have a question

Hi. I got my nexus yesterday. I really love it. I am on T-Mobile but the signal jump between 3g and h like crazy. I am aokp and radio xxkk6. Any suggestion
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I thought 3g and H connection jumps are normal if you move a lot or stay at somewhere with instable 3g signal.
Mine does that all the time.
Oh and u can delete that "COMING SOON" in your signature
The phone is made to go from 3g to h if the data signal is being used then back to 3g when it is not.

This is not a feature of the Galaxy Nexus, but rather the proper way 3G/HSPA+ is supposed to be handled by GSM phones.
Sometimes skins will just leave the "3G" or "4G" symbols up in the status bar, even when the phone is actually switching much more often. The Nexus just shows the actual switching when it happens.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus 1x/3G icons

Has anyone noticed that on 1x, the 3G icon is still displayed?
And if so, does anyone know of a fix? I would rather have no icon, than 1 that lies to me.

Your phone shows data signal.
Not very related but just so you know.

I'm not referring to the signal bars. I'm referring to the Network Connection icon (1x, 3G, 4G, Roam)

I'm 100% certain it's because that's how the stock ROM is configured.
I'm running CM9 right now and when it drops to 1x, it shows 1x, not 3G. It always says 3G when I run stock.
If you're rooted you could probably use something like Ninja Morph to change the icons... or you could just use a custom ROM that does this already.

I've been running AOKP since it became official for toroplus, but I wanted to go back to stock just for the speed/stability (I use the stock Sprint kernel on AOKP for stability). I've already looked through all the icons, and they are all correct. So somewhere in an XML or smali it points to the 3G icon instead of the 1x icon.
I just can't find it.

Honestly it is probably like that to make it look like you have better signal.

[Q] LTE coverage on MIUI??

I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 android version 4.1.2 on MIUI.us 3.1.11. Everything is working fine, but I have noticed slightly slower speeds and I no longer see my LTE signal icon in the status bar? How can I tell if I still have LTE coverage? Is it still there, but just not being displayed anymore? Please advise.

An image doesn't change much, I could swap it to change 2G (E) and it would still give me the same speed.. You can use speedtest app to see if you still get the same speed.
So I shouldn't be to concerned if the LTE icon is no longer being displayed? It was very helpful to have it, let's you know where the best coverage for LTE is at! Wonder why it's not being displayed anymore after rooting??

Its showing 4G and H+
If it shows 4G that means LTE and H+ means regular "4G" at least in my experience

Almost. LTE is 4G but H+ is 3.5G.
Before I installed MIUI.us, it said LTE, 4G, and H+. Now, no LTE is displayed.

Can you tell me what is displayed? Or even better, could you post a screeny when on data? (hold vol down + power to take a screenshot).
And like I mentioned before, it's an image. Nothing else. The only way to know if using a speedtest.
Att markets there HSPA+ as 4G that's why on stock the 4G there speed is slow

It would just be good to know when LTE is being offered.

Umm that's H+, a bit slower than LTE. Go check in your APNs if you're on the LTE one. Also, make sure your network mode has the 3 options (2G, 3G, 4G).
Yes, all that you mentioned checks out. Just never are my LTE symbol after installing both CM10.0 and MIUI.us.

Maybe try a different modem. I'm not sure why it would keep you from using LTE if your APN and network mode are correct.
How do I try a different modem?

[REQ] A flashable zip that will show H+ icon (symbol) when on HSPA+

Does something like this exist yet?
I recently switched to T-Mobile and am constantly checking the settings and running speed tests trying to figure out how well the HSPA+ coverage is in the areas I frequent and this icon/symbol would be sweet.
Thanks in advance
Running Stock Rooted 4.2.2

I think this may change the H to H+...so he will always see H+.
I've used my nexus 4 on both t-mobile and at&t. In both cases, the H+ icon appeared when i had HSPA+ coverage, no mod required. This was running CM and PA... does the stock rom not do this?

Stock only shows me "H" regardless of the network type. Save for edge.

This isn't possible on stock. Just flash cm or pa to get that.
Actually, even with cm10.1, you really never know when you have h+ because the icon only changes when you use data. This is a feature of this phone to save battery. It only connects to h+ when you're using the phone. Its stupid, but without it, who knows how bad the battery will be.
Find the h+ images somewhere and overwrite the h images with ninjamorph. Just keep the same file name as the h images, that's the file name the system will call for.
