got the nexus 7 lte and with my 3g sim card, it has problem sending data even with full reception. For instance, at 3g /h, its does not switch to h+ immediately . When it changes to h+ it loads for a few seconds and goes back to h where the connection will just idle
But when I put in my 4g sim card, iit's fast and responsive.. Instant loading for all and no such idling..
No problems with wifi.
Anyone having problems with hsdpa? Running 36c version and changed to custom rom and i changed to a new 3g sim card butProblems still persist.
(no response from Q&A so had to post here)
I'm getting much better speeds with the LTE tablet on T-Mobile than my GNex phone on Tmobile. Maybe you don't have good coverage in your area?

Actually it's fine on 4g. Just 3g even with full reception..
Deleted weird double post (how does something like this happen 30 minutes after I exited the app?!?)
It's with full reception.. I tried the same 3g sim on 2012 nexus, it seems fine..
I got a feeling it's a bug or my unit is faulty
Remember on 4g it's fine.. Just hsdpa/3g
Mine has never shown LTE symbols, but it's faster than my non LTE phone. I don't know if that's because it's capable of faster HSPA or it just doesn't show LTE. Anyway, the speeds I posted are using HSPA not LTE as far as I can tell. Ignore the wifi speed test, I was testing a poor wifi repeater.

I dunno if it's my service provider sux or my tablet is faulty

Reception is weak in my office at work. On my previous phone, Motorola Defy, I noticed my data would go back and forth between 'H' and '3G'.
With my GS2, data is stuck on 4G. I have watched it for hours now and even though I have no bars it does not change. Am I missing something? Is my device defective?
I appreciate your help with this.

There might not be a 3G (icon) for the phone which is why it stays on 4G rather than drop to 3G.
At least that is the case with my G2X, it is either 4G or 2G but never 3G.
Not sure why, but that's how they made it.
Have you done a speed test to see if you are on 4G or not?
This phone also might have better connectivity to the network.
....
I can at least confirm there is an E for edge Found out today at my apartment in Boston (normally I have 4G with great speeds in Boston, but I guess the bathroom doesn't get good reception)
Thanks for the replies. Yes I ran 4 speed tests this morning in 4G and my max was 1490 Mbps so I think it's working well.

There actually is a 3g icon. It is only displayed for Umts networks. The reason it was done that way is because there is no way to differentiate hspa from hspa+. Two network technologies for 3g were in use anyways and so it was easier to display all hspa and hspa+ networks as 4g and all umts as 3g.

Edit due to phone auto correct fail.
Anybody got a Galaxy Nexus on T-Mo USA with the H icon switching to the 3G icon back & fourth on a daily basis? Seems like a software bug to me or could this be normal? I'm in a solid 4G area, never seen this before.
Thanks.

Its normal and exactly what its intended to do.
Your phone connected to umts which is 3g and will only change to hspa "4g" when pulling data.

This is just what the phone is supposed to do. UTMS (3G) uses less power then HSPA (H), so the phone switches when there's data to be transferred, but otherwise stays at UTMS when there's nothing going on. Most ROMs just don't have a different icon for HSPA and UTMS, because HSPA hasn't always been "4G," so there's been no reason to notify the user that anything is different when it switches.
OK appreciate the information

Just curious maybe I am just confused, but can the GSM GN use T-Mo 4G? This is my first (4G?) device, not sure if its not connecting or not available in my area. (Samsung Vibrant (3G)) before this, but shouldn't ICS display 4G or H+ if it was getting a 4G signal? Anyone even get 4G on this using T-mobile??
It can do Tmo's 21 but not 42.

So, to answer your question, yes. (HSPA+ is 4G faster than the 14.4Mbps)
I'm not interesting in blazing 42 (theoretical) speeds, 21 is just fine. It just seems everywhere I go, it still only shows either 3G/H , never 4G/H+. Regardless of the modem I flash. Currently using XXKK6. Speed test shows I do just under 3mbps max. This is what I got on my Vibrant 3G ...

There is no H+ icon. Only 3G and H.

Nexus does 4g, maybe not to much 4g coverage in your area

Seems like a GN issue. I have the coverage according to Tmobile and even went to a 4G area in the same building as their main store.. Sometimes Wifi shows no signal even when literally a foot from the router (although the signal works fine)
Hey guys, I recently upgraded to Mobilicity's 4G plan, but I want to know if is it just me, or is CM10 having issues with data connection? I'm not getting 4G speeds a lot, and it doesn't even show 4G by the bars. It just shows H+ and a lot of the times, it bounces around from h to 3G to H+ and back, then it'll go to H+ and start working. So, My question is, is this normal, to not see 4G by the bars, even though i'm on the 4G plan for Mobilicity. If that first one is a yes, then is it also normal that it bounces around from the H, 3G, to H+ for a bit then get a working connection on H+. And thirdly, is the wildly fluctuating speeds normal? Some times slow speeds and some times fast? And I don't think i Lost my IMEI, I see the number on my settings. And a Bonus question, I hear yesterday we were supposed to get the JB update, any word on that? Going to need to go back to stock and unroot the phone if so.
CM10s radio firmware just displays the signal differently. 3g-4g = 3g-H+

H+ is what the touchwiz ROM would call 4g...it also calls 3g 4g so cm10 is showing what you're really getting service wise. There's nothing different happening on your phone

Ohh okay. But is anyone else having random data speed drops? sometimes it's amazingly fast, where as others it's really slow.
Its not that its displaying it wrong. I believe it is actually switching between 3g and 4g (hspda+) data. It is probably a data tweak used to conserve battery because things like text messages don't need full hspda data. I've noticed that when im texting it uses 3g but when web browsing or YouTube, it switches to H+

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?

Yes thats normal. Its to preserve bettery the signal will regilary drop down into 3g when idle

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.
