Hi guys!
I was wondering why I dont get the "H" icon? I only have 3G..
At settings, HSDPA is turned on..
What could it be?

it also depends on your location if HSDPA is offered. not all areas/regions are HSDPA enabled.
Yes, First of all there should be HSDPA support in your area / supported by operator.
For instance, I see 3G icon in my Kaiser, While i am connecting, the H icon appears
And then again 3G icon comes back when the connection is established!

The first day i got my tilt I enabled the HSDPA connection. I connected to the internet and my 3G icon changed from a 3G to a H, then the internet was blazing, faster than my DSL i use at work.
Well in the last few days I noticed it doesn't go to H anymore, it just stays at 3G. I checked the registry and HSDPA is still enabled. I have add a lot of cabs since it was working. Does anyone know anything that controls the HSDPA besides the registry entry. any ideas on how to get it back?
For me, it only changes to an H when actually transferring data. It stays at 3G most of the time.
yes, thats what I was getting as well. But even when I am transferring data it still remains at 3G. I have yet to see it go to H in the last few days. Maybe the network is getting work, anyone in the Chicago area getting H?

That's what I observed.
Despite I`m in an area where HSDPA is provided my Kaiser shows only a 3g not a H - but when I go under data connection the H is shown !
On my Tytn I had a ROM where the H was shwon without a data connection !
Does anyone know how to solve this ???
Thanks

You dont want it to be fixed. The H should only show when there is data transferring and the cell you are in is using HSDPA to send packets to your device.
Yes but at some german Kaisers you can see the H but mine doesn`t show it ???
need to enable it
i used kaiser tweak...see the stickies in this forum.

You said it shows it when there is data flow. That is the correct behaviour.
no, because others do have the H before connecting to the data connection - I assume it is a matter of ROM
There are reg tweaks where you can change the icon for "3g" to "h" but that doesn't mean that you are actually in a HSDPA enabled cell - it just means that you are in a 3g service area.
Personally I prefer having 3g, and it changing when I am getting H throughput.
Yes I know and I`m in a HSDPA cell but it is only shown when I`m connected ....not before - before there is just the 3G

As mentioned above by unwired4.. this is the default behaviour!!!
Hi guys as the title says I never receive any 3G, HSDPA, or EDGE connection on my O2 XDA Ignito...only thing I connect with is GPRS/GSM (i.e. the G icon shows in the taskbar)
I know I've turned off HSDPA connection in the menu, but why do I never get any 3G or EDGE connections?? I'm on the Orange UK and T-Mobile UK network...tried both and none give me anything except GPRS.
Anyone know what the issue might be? Could it be a hardware problem or is it more likely to do with the settings?
Cheers
have you considered the fact you dont live in a 3G area lol

lol yes but its not just my area...you can't be telling me I don't get any 3G throughout london city...?? I've also checked the orange and t-mobile website and they do have coverage in my area.
isnt it turned off?
Get navdavi commmanager and you can turn 3g on / off with it.
I think there is an option in settings somewhere too.
Turning off 3g turns off Edge/HSDPA too.
My carrier has bad 3G operation, whilst HSDPA works fine. The problem is that phone sometimes switches between 3G and H, and when it does switch to 3G, there is no internet until it swithes back to H or down to E. I'm almost sure that this is caused by carrier, and I can't fix it with firmware. So I would like my Tab to avoid 3G mode at all, while using H and E. Can I set it to do so?

Unfortunately, it's impossible, you can either choose "H" & "3G" with wcdma/umts or "G" & "E" with GSM in Mobile Networks. You can't choose to leave out 3G when it's doing H, cause both of them are under wcdma mode.
Of cause, if you leave your "Network mode" to auto, it will jump around gsm and wcdma when it see fit. By choosing it to run GSM mode only, will keep your network connect to "E"/"G(gprs)" ONLY; Or WCDMA for "H"/"3G" ONLY.

Hi people.
After install some custom ROM from here my 3G network icon is not 3G anymore. It is a "H". So how can I get my icon back? Also, this rom is from a strange carrier so, is there a way to remove te boot screen picture from this carrier?
Thanks!

it's normal icon for 3g hspa mode, don't worry, hspa = 3g
It means you've got a HSDPA connection. HSDPA is much faster than 3G. See this link for info on the different terminology
