Hi all, i switched from bsnl to idea recently, i called up the customer care to to activate 3g services.. To do this, you have to first see whether your handset is compatible with 3g or not(Well of course it is)... What i heard was (that was the computer speaking) "Hi! Your handset supports 3g, but does not support high speed internet and video calling. We recommend atleast upgrading to a 3.6 mbps modem
Now, i know that one v does not support hspa+ network and video calling, but what is high speed internet?
Is it a mistake in Idea??

check whether ur sim support for 3G
HEY! Who said it doesn't support HSDPA?
You'll have yo latch into 3G Mode for using HSPA (that's known as 3.5G).
Go to Settings-Mobile Network and select WCDMA Only as the network type!!
Were you using GSM Mode for HSPA?? hahaha :laugh:

Dude, before laughing on others for NO reason read your own post first. Ofcourse i am using wcdma mode:/ And by hspa network, i wanted to mean the hspa+ network, that shows "h+" when connected to the 3g service and shows up as "HSPAP or just HSPA" insted of "HSDPA" in settings>network

Every once in a while, I will get the 3G+ Icon for my service. Is this 4G? I'm on AT&T and was wondering why I would get this Icon?
I get 3G+ on a different network too... It's not 4G for sure because my network doesn't have 4G
I think that means 3.5G or 3.75G .. may be !!

If you're on a stock ROM, it is likely an icon for HSPA service. This is basically 3.5G service. Most custom ROMs will have a "H" icon instead of 3G when this is the connection.

Sometimes I get 3G+ and sometimes H... so I guess they mean something different.

I'm on Claro but I'm outside the US... And I use the JackOS rom.
Icons and network speeds can be sometimes confusing on Windows Mobile devices.
Unlike other branded devices, "3G" is 3.6Mbps (category 6 HSDPA) and "H" stands for 7.2Mbps (category 8 HSDPA).
I never saw a "3G+" icon. Maybe if you would post a screenshot I could help you further.
EDIT: @OP, no Rhodium doesn't support 4G (LTE) so no matter what icon you got it's definitely not 4G The first HTC device to support this was the HTC ThunderBolt (right?).
Is anyone one on T-Mobile orange getting the H+ icon?

I get H all the time but I'm right under the Antenna that's supposed supposed to putting out hspa+ plus so I should be getting H+
Hi
Only had my S2 for a few days but its active here in Clacton.
Speeds are around 3222 and 1000 which I think is 1 to 3.2 meg
I must say its much faster than my old N900
480kps on H can't be bad then!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Works fine the other way around too getting H on Orange and Orange T-Mobile
I guess then even though all networks have been quietly rolling out hspa+
the only network where you get proper 3.5g speeds is 3. My friend had his galaxy nexus phone peak at 21mps on 3 network.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Have had over 8meg on the local 3 mast, but it still only shows H, not H+.
I think the H+ is something orange put it their ROM, like some Vodafone HTCs used to show 3g+ instead of H.
IIRC it is just graphics in the framework-res file. As to whether they all come with it I don't know. I don't think I've seen mine (unbranded on tmobile) show H, never mind H+. That being said though, I've got it setup to use openzone networks where-ever it can, which turns out is quite often!
I get H, but not H+. I usually get around 3-4mbit down and 2-3mbit up
On 3, with a 3 branded rom so only get H. Haven't checked extensively, but highest speed so far has been 9032kpbs down and 3475kpbs up.
Nearly as fast as my cable broadband down and much faster than anything up.
All this on a truly unlimited internet package which includes tethering

Looking at the replies to the thread I would say that's almost certain that the h+ icon ISN'T a standard, but infact depends on phone manufacturer and Rom

I'm with 3 too. I just did a speed test and I got 7578kpbs down and 3833kbps up. The download isn't as fast as my broadband as I have 100mb but the upload is close as I generally get 5mb - 8mb upload on my broadband.
I also have tethering - useful seeing as last months data usage was 4GB
I have seen the H+ on my wifes GS2 but never seen it on my One X.
I've seen 14mbps Max on three.
What's funny is that technically t mobile can reach these speeds as well but all standard plans are capped at 3.8mbps
I'm in Switzerland Swisscom Provider.
Galaxy S2 with H+ Icon = 10000 Kbits download
HTC One X without H+ Icon 4500 Kbits.
The same Provider, the same place, ...
Cant HOX HSDPA+ ?

No such thing as hsdpa+ its hspa.
We've already concluded that the h+ icon is rom specific. Lots of people including me have had high speeds still only showing h. My top speed is a little over 10meg

hello, on my HTC ONE V the tata docomo internet is dammn slow! anyway to increase its speed ???
First thing the speed isnt because of the phone it depends on your router and how much mb uve took,also you are able to add wifi performance in settings but drain battery quickly anfd make videos quality bad

Is that 2g or 3g?? You can check that in the notifications when you switch on the net. Also, ask tata docomo for help, not xda.
Check in the notifications if it's showing "G", "E", "3G" or "H". Which one is showing for you?
its showing E

Then its 2g , you mist tell the operator to activate 3g services on your phone. If you already did that and still getting 2g, then your area doesn't have docomos 3g coverage area. Worst case, try idea or vodafone or airtel (not Bsnl).
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
To get high speed your device must show "3G" or "H". Hence, there is no problem with your device. It's working completely fine. My advice, take Aircel. It is by far the best network operator in terms of 3G internet plans in India. Send "START 3G" to 121 from Aircel and then recharge from multiple range of tariffs from Rs. 8 to Rs. 997 which best suits your needs.
Hi every body
i seem when my note display 3g the internet dosnt work i need to wait for couple of seconds to display h or h+ and then works. Is that normal? Why i cant use the 3g regular network?

I'm on the same boat homie. Can't figure it out. I guess it's just another amazing T-Mobile limitation.
Tmobiles 3g and 4g network are the same the 4g is actually just 3g with better antenna technology and I think a power boost. The 3g network is called hspa and 4g is hspa+. That is why att had 3g 3.5g and 4g att considered the hspa+ 3.5g because they launched their lte network as 4g. So technically when tmo launches lte it will be tmos 5g. They changed the definition of the whole thing a while ago. G stands for generation. So that is why tmobile is allowed to call it 4g because it is their 4 generation of high speed internet. There is no actually standard. like edge being 2g hspa being 3g lte 4g the way it should be.
For the roms that use the h, h+, 3g format usually 3g actually EDGE or 2g. H is 3g and h+ is 4g So the net is probally not broken it is just ridiculously slow. I hope I explained that right. That is what it seems like to me from GOOGLEING it.

Hey thanks for that info. I tested out all networks again...
4G = Fast Data.
3G = No Data AT ALL.
Edge = Slow Data.
If T-Mobile's 4G and 3G networks are the same thing, why don't I get data when the phone says it's connected to a 3G tower? I had 3G service with my previous phone and it had decent data speed. I could stream music and browse the web easily. Now... 3G just doesn't work at all.

Cool man keep us updated!!
Firstly i would like to apologize if this issue has been treated before but i think i read into the 12th page and nothing yet... i got an htc desire hd a week ago and as at when i got it it was still locked, i didnt see an H sign or a 3g sign and i used it for 4 days before rooting it, i also tried custom roms and flashed my radio, i tried factory reset too and i also made sure my apn settings were correct, i tried switching to airplane mode from the suggestions i got here and i even tried switching to 3G only but it only shows me the bars with an 'X' sign showing that there isnt any signal, while i can still get an H on another HTC very close to it. please if there is anything i didnt do can anyone suggest it to me...any suggestion would be appreciated...sorry if this post offends anyone...if i had known better i wouldn't have put it up.
Is this desire hd or inspire 4g? Both support 3g on different bandwidth? Where are u from? Check with your service provider about the network bandwidth on whic 3g runs.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
It's an inspire 4g...thanks. I checked with with 2 Sims and 2 different providers and still the same thing

I think u need to enable data first. Even u force the network to select 3g, it will not show up in the network bar with data disabled.
Setting > data usage > turn on mobile data. This method is for cm10.1 so use your own discretion on another type of roms.

Inspire 4G was sold in the USA and the international model was the Desire HD. Check if the frequency bands match for USA and the country where you're trying to use the phone. That should give a clue as to why 3g is not being picked up.
