So, does HSPA+ show up as a separate indicator?

The way you can distinguish between EDGE and HSPA. Is it it's own individual thing or does it just show up as fast HSPA? Basically, how do I know if I'm connected?

I actually ordered a G2 today. That's why I'm asking on the G2 board, asshole.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

It depends on which ROM you're using.
On the stock G2 ROM, T-Mobile programmed it so you only either see E for EDGE or H for anything from UMTS to HSDPA to HSPA+.
If you install a Sense ROM, you'll see the correct indicator. I.e. an E for EDGE, 3G for UMTS/HSDPA, and an H for HSPA+.
I have no idea what Cyanogen will show you, as I haven't used CM on my G2, but I would imagine it'd be the same as the Sense ROMs.
Basically, T-Mobile wants you to believe you're *always* on HSPA+, but the non-carrier-backed ROMs tell the truth.

The Sense ROMs show 3G for UMTS, and H for HSPA(HSDPA)/HSPA+.

Does anyone know what CM does? It's all I use. Also, HSPA+ just automatically picks up, right? It's not like Sprint's horrible 4G where you have to turn on your 4G radio that sucks the life out of the battery in a matter of hours.

Correct. You *can* switch to EDGE-only if you wish (I do this at work cause I have WiFi and my cubicle is a black hole) but you don't need to do anything special to 'activate' HSPA+

HSPA+ is really just a faster HSDPA revision. Nothing special.
You should get the same H logo from as low as 1.2 Mbps HSDPA to at least 21 Mbps HSPA+ and probably more.
Also, technically, I think that 14.4 Mbps is still part of the HSDPA 3GPP release 5 revision. 21 Mbps is the newer release 7 HSPA+. So even if there were a "H+" sign, the Desire Z/G2 should never use it.

I can 100% say that CM shows G for GSM, or whatever the exact term is. E for edge, 3G for when you are in 3G and H for HSPA+. I've flashed several diffeernt roms and everyone I have flashed(other than stock) show the true data.

Sorry if this seems pedantic, but doesn't it show "H" for HSPA or HSPA+ ? Not just for HSPA+ ?

On my unlocked tmobile comet (Ideos) , when I insert my HSPA+ Sim in, it shows HSPA in the "about phone" info options in settings as network type, but only bars with no 3G/4G icon. (possibly because I am not connecting completely)
Looks like I need to have my provider update my device so it works, but in theory it should.

There's a H+ icon?

No, in CM the 3G icon is UMTS, and the H icon is HSPA/HSPA+.

Double facepalm youself LMAO!! UMTS is 3G (7.2), HSPA is 4G (14.4), and HSPA+ is 4G (21.1) also. You are right though, wtf is an hspa+ sim? The sim I've had since the days of my RAZR works just fine.
In CM ROMs (and most others):
G = GSM/GPRS
E = EDGE
3G = 3G aka UMTS
H = HSPA/HSPA+ aka 4G

[Q] LTE = H+ for I9505 roms?

I was wondering if the H+ symbol I get for the Omega rom means it is LTE? There are times when it says E, 3G and 4G as well. I'm assuming the H+ is when it is on LTE here in Chicago.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

I Would like to add, on TMO rom it seemed to me like they are marking H+ as 4G as well, which on normal roms (i9505) they are not.
i had 2 Galaxy S4 in my hand, one with TMO rom and one with i9505 rom. (With TMO sim in both)
the TMO showed up 4G and the i9505 showed H+
but when looking inside the debug menu, they both were in H+ channel,
speedtest showed the same speed as well.
so what i think is that TMO is "Cheating" by stating "i'm on 4G network" which should be only LTE,
but you are on 3.5G network (H+)

you could also correct that by just changing the build.prop lines to the tmobile values and you get your normal icons back for 4G and 4GLTE. I did this since I am running Omega as well.

I honestly do not know that this will work on an AOSP rom. My bet is that they probably wouldn't- and if you're running an AOSP rom built for the M919 you'd already have the correct build.prop values:
ro.product.model= SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
ro.product.device=jfltetmo

How do you change the build prop? Also, will this effect the changes I made with 3 minit settings?

I'm on omega. Change your build prop to get T-Mobile icons. You could also go in settings/status and check if your in hspa or LTE. I have LTE now in Cleveland and see 4g LTE for my data icons

A simple text editor works, it's located at /build.prop
Otherwise there are several options on Play, just search for build prop.

Thanks i changed the name, model, and device in build prop, but it still uses 3g and 4g.
Nevermind it now. Shows lte for lte and 4g for hspa after the edit of the build prop

Tmobile's 4g has always been hspa+ They are just starting to roll out LTE. AT&T did this also. They billed hspa+ as 4g, and then rolled out LTE later, which they currently market to compete with verizons 4g lte. Gsm carriers were able to debut hspa+ faster then verizon was able to debut LTE for the first time, giving them a leg up on the fastest network for a short time.

Its not an issue. AOSP based ROMs show 3g when data isn't active and H+ when it is. stock ROMs incorrectly label H+ as 4g.

So it isn't a matter of me having signal or not? It's just going to say H+ when actually using data and 3g when im not?

H+ is not LTE that is correct. On AOSP ROMs LTE is displayed as 4g. If you are seeing H+ then you are either not in an LTE reception area or your APN is wrong.

U cnt.. The only ones that can show u the real signal is a cm10 rom and it shows you 4G just because that's the way carriers want it to look so it can make you think that you're getting 4G whole you're not..

You can change the model number in the build.prop file to "Galaxy Nexus" save it and reboot.
It should show "3G" in 3G areas and H+ is "3.5G" areas.
I figured this by doing the google wallet fix.
This might break some functionality with preinstalled apps though.
You can always change your model number back to "SGH-M919" though and reboot.

What do you mean this phone gets Lte where are you at? 4g all day long even on wifi. Nevermind I see you are in morocco. So I understand now.

As others have said it's a carrier thing. If it says 4G, you're actually on HSPA+, and when you connect to LTE it shows 4G/LTE. So visually you can still differentiate between 'true' 4G LTE and 'marketing' 4G.
