is there a way to change the H to a 4G symbol im using eueguens cm rom..
Don't think so, for as good as the rom is it doesn't make a difference anyway. Your on HSPA might as well embrace it.
Mines been switching between both randomly lol

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

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.

Have you tried flashing the more updated radios, etc?
Just did. Will report back to see if it helps

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?

Im pretty sure this is somewhere but i just cant find it.
I downloaded blueray by master&slave
But the connection is 3g not 4g
Im wondering if its just the looks or if it is actually using 3g

This is a known issue for Telus users (it's on all custom ROMs). You're still on 4g, it's just a cosmetic issue.
On a related note, do you know how to use adb?
ok so on these jellybean roms, my messages never send half the time even when i have full data bars or signal bars also my data always jumps back and forth between 3g and hspa and i know for a fact im in hspa region cause on a ics rom it says 4g all the time this sh*%$ getting annoying anyone know why it does this only on jellybean roms, is it cause the source code isnt fully available or something

Find a jellybean radio and flash it, should fix your problem. There is a couple threads on radio's in development section.
Hi, I'm currently using a cm10 rom and I flashed the UVLH radio. JB works smoothly for me and calls are clear and messages arrive lromptly even. Maybe just flash a new radio one that's okay for ICS

There is NO JB radio. 3G and 4G are almost the same thing. I do not believe T-Mobile phones with 4G can acquire 4G, as our 4G is a fake 4G. It is more a 3.5G. So I believe that it is just that the system recognizes the signal as 3G, but is really 4G.

I have a epic touch 4g flashed to cricket and I was on wondering why I get 1x on custom ROMs but stock ROMs are just fine. And when I do get 3g the data acts weird and cuts on and off.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
It might not be that you are even on 3G but sprint has this little habit of lying on their stock ROMs by making it so it always shows 3G even when connected to 1x. The devs on xda have made it so that in ROMs shows the true connection such 1x/3G.
A good way to verify while on stock is to go look on the about phone to see what you are connected to or use netmonitor/speedtest to see what connection you are on.

I had a ROM they showed real speeds and I was on 3g. The ROM was basically a slightly modified stock though....

Well first crickets 3g doesn't work very well on sprint phones, if you want real 3g you need a cricket phone or be on Sprint.
Data does work on touchwiz roms though, and if you want aosp you have to flash a fix to get it to work on those, but it won't be even close to 3g unless your lucky.
If you don't have the fix its here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479175 use the ics one for ics and jb.
I've gotten 1.6 Mb/s download speed on aosp jb with Cricket, although average during the day is more like 800Kb/s. Area, PRL, signal strength, etc play a huge role as well.
