3G Icon

I've had my S2 since last year November, and today was the first time I've ever seen the 3G icon on the status bar. Has that always been there on a stock rom!? I'm usually always on a 4g icon or Edge on a low signal area. I have never seen the 3G icon ever pop up on my phone

I wouldn't mind it too much. With T-Mobile, 3G and "4G" = same thing.

Exactly the same issue here. Its always Edge or 4g. Odd.

Its not a photo shop. In areas where AT&T has agreements and 3G only, T-Mo phones pick up on that. I have family that lives in one of these areas so.. he is right.. Its happened once to me, which that was the only area that I knew about that was a 3G-only area, every where else I go is yes either EDGE or 4G.

I rarely see edge on my phone 3g-4g all the time every once in a blue moon I see edge

Sprint Galaxy S3 users

Hey fellow S3 users just a recommendation about data speeds. I was having pretty slow speeds on 3g at home so I decided to Do some changes. I went to settings/mobile networks/network mode and select the cdma, lte, evdo setting and it will restart on its own to change settings. After doing that change it appears that my Internet became faster. I know it's not scientific fail proof test but it's worth a try.

Network vision delivering finally...

In Evanston, IL 3g seems to be more than usable finally (I may even describe it as speedy) ...but not LTE quite yet - at least in the closest tower to me

Lol....
I don't have screen shots but I pulled 2.23mbps down and .9 up the other night then it switches back to the crappie tower and it's 400 or less down and .9 up, progress from the 22kbps I sometimes see.

Another Evanston citizen...
I get the same speeds now as well.

I used to get those speeds everyday on my evo 4g on the 3g network 2 years ago . Now I'm lucky to get 400kbps. The now network my ass!

We have 4g?

Idk but I havent noticed anything for 4g related..like no toggle settings .. when im out I get 3g ...is the note 2 4g capable?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Its an LTE device but if you dont LTE coverage in your area you will remain on 3G until sprint activates it in your area. *you may have 4G in your area but LTE is different

I noticed that too, however after looking around it sounds Like a lot of new phones are set up to automatically detect and connect to 4g. If it doesn't connect it may not be in your area yet. If you want to try to force it go into settings and uncheck and then check connections optimizer. That will force a scan of available networks.

Q- How to turn on 4G LTE on a Sprint GS3?

My Evo 4G LTE has an option under mobile data to set it to CDMA or CDMA/LTE. My girlfriend has a GS3 an doesn't get 4G in places where I do. I didn't see where to cycle between CDMA only and CDMA/LTE on her GS3. May be an obvious answer, but we just got together so I haven't played with her phone much and didn't see where to make this change. Thanks for any help!

Oh by the way, her phone is stock unrooted and running 4.1.2. I haven't done anything with it just yet

Thank you VERY MUCH! I have no idea how I overlooked that! Just a different set up than my phones, but that shouldn't have mattered because I play around with many different phones. I was just being a noob, lol. Alright, nothing more to see here folks, let's move along and pretend this never happened! Lol
