So is it possible to have it say 4g instead of 3g for hspa+?

I have the Note II GT-N7100. This is the international version that doesn't have the 1700 spectrum that T-Mobile uses. However, they have been refarming their towers to transmit on the 1900 spectrum, and our area (NY metro) is already pretty much done.
Here is my question:
Sometimes I get H+ on my phone, at other times just H. Does this difference mean anything?
And if yes, what does it mean?
Both usin 3G
H - HSPDA
H+ - HSPDA+
it depends on area coverage, some place when you are in area have H+. H+ have somewhat faster data transfer.
in 3G network
3G - your device have no active data connection
H+ - data exchangge active.when you are in area where you have high transfer data capacity available
H - data exchange active. still using 3G but less speed.
In 2G network
E - it display edge
Im coming from sprint to tmobile where it was 3g and 4g thats it. No matter what option i pick in mobile network i get the 4g icon up top. Is there no 3g?

With sprint they use evdo for 3g data, with tmo they use hspa+ which it technically is a 3g signal (upgraded to get near 4g speeds) they just call that 4g. Then on top of that they have lte which is true 4g. If you dont have lte in your area or you just turn off the lte radio you still get hspa+(hence why it says 4g).
Hope that helps

T-Mobile will not display the 3G icon because it is set up that way, custom ROM's on T-Mobile will display that 3G and H+ icons, rest assured, when using 3G speeds, the phone automatically drops to it. Edge even E, sometimes G lol. My wife's Note2 does that, I have the S2 and rooted with a custom ROM and I can display all when used.
My i9300 has showed everything but "g", guess I'm one of the lucky ones who gets 4g in my area on this beast.
Recently after updating my modem to I747MVLDMF1, I noticed that the network symbol said H. I believe that means LTE. How do I switch back to 3G? I want to save battery life.
thats hspa. the "4G" signal type is LTE service

So I am already using 3G?
i think technically that 3g service may even display the title "3G" by your signal. in any event, "H" and "H+" are hspa/hspa+
H is a type of 3G. It is essentially an improved data rate version of 3G known as HSPA. You can read up on it for exact details. On CM10 LTE connections will be annotated with 4G vice H, H+, or 3G. On stock TouchWiz it is different. LTE is annotated as 4G LTE and H is annotated as 4G.

If you are still wondering... I do not believe there is a reliable fix to change to H+ only
Is there a way you can set the phone to just access the 4g band? 4g in my area is stable, but I think my phone keeps dropping lte signal over and over because its very intermittent signal here in this area.
thanks

Ok I found the "4636" menu, and I have an att phone and it was set to LTE + CDMA/LTEEVDO
That's not right is it?
I put it on WDCMA because the 4g network is much more stable around here...but any reason why mine is defaulting to a cdma network?
thanks
Do you have option for LTE only? I use LTE only sometimes at work on a T-Mobile m8. I can still receive text but no calls. And yeah, if you're on an at&t m8, you shouldn't be using/defaulting to CDMA. You're gsm, wcdma and LTE. Try wcdma preferred or wcdma only.

My T889 always has 4G even when its Hspa or H+ or 3G
anyway to get the Hspa or H+ or 3G icons back??
