So I was just out getting my midnight release copy of GTAIV on Xbox 360. I was in the middle of sending a few pictures of the event to a couple friends when all the sudden, at about 12:15am on 4/29/08, my Tilt switched from E to H!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought my phone was lying to me so I ran a couple speed tests using Opera and sure enough the first test hit over 600kbps!! Usually I see around 200ish.
Just to be safe, I just got home and the first thing I did was tethered. I ran a speedtest from speedtest.net and saw 1.1mbps which is usually at around 300kbps.
Now here is the good part of the story. I have been hounding my ATT reps every chance I get asking when oh when 3G was coming to my hometown and they have been telling me July/August at BEST. So I'm thinking I may have stumbled upon ATT testing it out tonight. Still very cool. I guess tomorrow morning will tell whether or not it stays or if this was a test!!
What a great night, GTAIV and HSDPA... what more does a guy need?
Oh, I live in St. Cloud, MN.
UPDATE: 9:30AM and it's still on!

What more? Just this... here. (Link May Be NSFW depending on how Communist your Work is.)
BTW Congrats on your HSDPA. I've been loving it for a few months now.
I live in the Bay Area and I also experience HSDPA at times, mainly shortly when I'm on the freeway.
well, Italy, in this kind of stuff (pretty useless) is almost leader in the world.
we are completly covered by HDSPA, from at least 2-3 years.
but we have prohibitive tariffs (like $2.34 every 15mins or $47 for 100hours)
HSDPA has been on Minneapolis, MN from 10/2007.
its great isn't it? one day I looked down at my phone and say "3G" instead of E. I live outside of bakersfield ca. was a nice day for me.
1. no offense
2. I HATE YOU!!!!!!
3. I REALLY HATE YOU!!!!!!
4. Now let me apologize.. I'm sorry that I HATE YOU!!!!
i got HSDPA as well here in NJ welcome aboard! but uhh quick question..

awesome! thanks
Ahh this is fantastic. I've been waiting for this day for years. I've come to realize it's basically like the transition from dial-up to cable internet. Man, I went nuts that day!
Now I can finally stream all my music to my phone without it having to buffer every 5 seconds! Horray!
AT&T has definitely been upgrading HSDPA in the US. Many think it is being expedited for the release of the 3G iphone. AT&T did the same thing to their Edge network right before the current iphone came out.
I am in NJ also, and I've had a 3G indicator all along, and an H indicator when downloading data.
In the beginning of April that changed to a constant H indicator.
From inside my office, 4bars H, 1mb test file from DLS Reports 665kbit/sec ... although I've seen better speeds over 999kbit/sec from other locations.

wow thats odd..when i first purchased my unit which was in March, i found k.tweaks and did that change first and every since its been on H.. i rarely get 3G anymore in fact.. if i do run low on service by my job, or low zones, it either goes to E or G.. i havent seen the 3G icon in about a month now
oh and when i ran my DLS report i got the same stats u had..
I've had my TILT since Nov 2007, and I also had enabled the HSDPA via tweaks.
I would always see 3G, unless I started a download ... say a podcast via Newsbreak ... then the icon would change to H.
The constant H is definitely a network change/upgrade.
Many of us thought it was a problem ... kind of comical now looking back:

3G/HSDPA has been in the bay area for quite some time. I'm surprised you don't get it.
By the way I noticed differences in speeds in different cities. For example in San Francisco I get a 3G icon and it will switch to H when doing data. DSL speed tests are usually around 500. In New York City I never see a 3G icon, H the entire time. Speed tests are closer to 900-1000.
Half right Jstar ...
732 part is right.
Proto part is wrong.
As a note, mine is a constant H. I have not seen a 3G icon yet.
If you guys want to see some more data speed tests, please check out my other thread I created with a bunch of results.

I'm getting confused about the speeds. I have an at&t Tilt. When I had the stock ROM it would only show E and 3G. When I tether with E I can barely do anything. When I connect with 3G I get download speed of 1200kb/s from speedtest.net. Now after upgrading to Dutty's WM6.1 I saw an option for HSDPA. This is where I got confused. I now have 3 connections. E just sucks. 3G now sucks. I get 100kb/s speeds. With H I get 1000kb/s speeds. Now how come H is now like the old 3G?
I know on my Tilt the H icon was just that an icon because the tilt didnt have the symbol enabled and that while i was surfing the net on 3G that i was still getting HSDPA speeds. Hopefully that helps...
Can someone explain why my phone will sometimes jump to the 3g symbol while I'm on the t-mobile network? I'm in the boston area. I thought they bought the 1700mhz band?
t-mobile..
Tmobile launched 3g i think like 3 days ago in large cities,
Boston, NYC, Chicago, Tampa,Miami, LA,San-fran..
i think they are the only ones as of right now
G is the best, For real Gangsters.
Na 3G is best in speed and battery.

Uh, 3G eats up more battery juice. A lot more.
Uh, I use twice the battery power but, I download a large file 10X as fast. Uh let me do the math, Uh............
Ok, so it's just an icon thing. with the new ROM H is like the old 3G. 3G is like the old E. funny that it's goes to E once in a great while. i wonder what that is?

For some people getting things faster is better. for others it isn't, and yes 3G eats your battery (like you said).

I was pointing out the factual error towards the person I quoted, who said also said that battery life was "best" with 3G. Just to hopefully curb any potential posts asking why their battery drains much faster with 3G enabled. Didn't need to have the other guy pick up on my "Uh" and act like a jackass about it.

Hi
recently my 3g speed has been decreasing a lot on my tilt. I usually have between 700 to 800 kbps. But now I get around 40 to 100. Any one else is experiancing the same thing? any ideas how to fix this.

I'm not an AT&T Technician by any definition of the word. But Given the Mass influx of 3G iPhones, The Tower may just be tapped out.
I think 3G works like Cable, The more people using it the less the speed and vice versa.
You could try it at 3am to see if I'm right.
Or You may try flashing another radio, though I doubt that will help much.
I'm in the DFW area, and when I first got mine it would top out around 1mb, here lately 400-500mb is the average. I will have to try that 3am test myself, if I can wake up at that time.
I will try the 3am toombut this sux come on att fix ur towers. I am paying 100 amount for this crap speed.

This isn't really news to most people here and it also doesn't directly have anything to do with development, at least not in the way of helping anyone get a ROM out.
Looks like the droid to me. Also I'm not sure if this is actually built by google or just something from motorola/verizon.
Yeah that looks like the new verizon version of Android that will suck because its on verizon. it will be locked down where Rooting wont be a possibility. Nice pics though.
**** looks sick, but itll be much sicker when cyan gets his hands on it
Wow, you are all quite against Verizon, huh? I've been with T-Mobile now about 15 years, but they still do not have very good service when I am here in my house. I have to fight to get more than 1 bar, and when I do I need to stand in one spot and not move or my call drops, 3G is a joke here too. In using a Verizon phone the past few days it has 2-3 bars here in my house, and no issues with data. I have considered moving over since they are offering up that Android phone in the next few days, but if you are saying that it will be limited badly I will not go.

Actually from what I hear, Verizon's not touching the phone (aside from their logo stamped on it). They are not touching the OS. Full GPS, Wifi, etc. I look forward to seeing if anyone can root this =) (it's only a matter of time, really... haha)

Hey Tom I am in AZ also and I was with the big V for a very long time. They have wonderful service probably the best, now with that said...I did leave once T-mobile brought the G1 to this world. I got fed up with Verizon's crappy cell phones that they put out along with the crappy software every single one of there phones run. They block everything so you are not able to do anything cool and awesome to the phone. If I know Verizon they are not going to want you or let you do anything to there android phone that might give you something for free. So rooting a phone lets you do so much to a phone like teather, which verizon will block in a heart beat cause they want to charge you an additional $15 to let you do that. Verizon also only lets you use 5gigs of data before they start charging you extra (overage fees). Verizon also has there own apps store which they will make you use. Read this:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/13/verizon-to-its-smartphones-thou-shalt-have-no-other-app-store-b/
I have switched to Tmobile and I dont regret it I never look back. I love my G1, I love the things I am able to do with it. I dont know where you live but I am not in the Phx area, I am in a 2G area and I always have 3 or 4 bars. And data out here even for 2G its not that bad.
Last Verizon is like Microsoft they hate anything Open Source they will do anything to Kill Open Source. They want there dirty little hands on everything you do on there network/product.
Hope this helped.

Outside of major metro areas Tmob can be lacking in towers, i live about 30mins outside of philadelphia and tmob is great, but 20 mins down the road its gprs only, some areas are edge, so they have upgrades yet to do.
Verizions tech. Was upgradeable to 3g where gsm needed more expensive equip. To go 3g, but the switch to 3.5/4g will be easier for gsm than the wcdma towers.
In more rural areas around here verizion has very good service.
Philly metro was one of the first few tmob areas to go 3g, but at my house I still suffer with 9600baud gprs, its just a tad faster than my old 2400baud amiga modem strapped to my brown C=64(i think i just gave away my age)
There is tons of info on cell tech, google it.

How is the signal strength where you live? I have had my Nexus since the day it launched, and dont experience any of those issues. But then again....I have great 3G/HSPA connectivity here in Denver.
I live near Detroit MI and the 3g is ok. I do get edge 40% of the time when I am in my house but wifi fixes that.
I have had mine 48 hours. It has worked properly about 2 hours. The rest has been filled with lost data connections, signal going from 4 bars to zero bars, and back to 4 bars within seconds, and many many missed calls/messages/aborted calls. NOT HAPPY AT ALL. I thought this was going to be an upgrade from my G1- the speed is great but it is totally unusable as an actual phone. BTW, 3g in my area is excellent (on the G1).
I'm in Tulsa, OK and have yet to see EDGE on my 3G ATT Nexus. I've had it all day and been all over town and now home and I've got 3G all day and 4 bars 3G at home in the house.
I had my Nexus since the day it was launched, and dont have any 3G issues. I have great 3G/HSPA connectivity here in Las Vegas.
I had my N1 about couple months and so far it seems that it's the only choice!, didn't get any major problems, amazing speed I always get daily updates!

Las Vegas is one of T-mobile's best connected cities... so no surprise there. But even in Toledo, OH, I get 3G outdoors without issue and switch between 3G and Edge only indoors, where I have wifi anyway.
Maybe you guys that are having problems might call HTC for swaps.
All of this worries me. I don't want to shell out $530 for a phone that could have issues with keeping a 3G connection. Even on cyanogens wiki he sates "Is the 3G issue fixed? No. While Google did issue an Over-The-Air update On 2010-Feb-02, it doesn't fully fix the switch from 3G to EDGE, which might be a mix of a hardware problem and a software one." I am hoping the desire comes out soon to see if that has the same problems. It is almost the same hardware so I would think it would be the same but we will see.
If anything it's the baseband programming from Qualcomm... I'm NOT seeing as bad as an issue as before. I do on occasion see it go to EDGE; I've just not got in the habit of leaving my phone on 3G only now.
no trouble in austin tx 3g and H all the time
Called HTC and they had no other solution but for me to loose $45 (because it was etched) plus shipping to get me another phone that would likely do the same thing. So, I rooted and crossed my fingers that having a choice in radios would help. Nope. Oh well, it looks cool. I use it to show off, and make calls with my G1

That's really not possible in the US. We have 2 GSM provides and both use different frequencies. You're definitely not going to get 3G with the other provider's SIM.

that's simple. They don't want you to leave!
Ughhh, I'm line of sight to a tower and get -70 to -75dBm all the time but I swear I jump for joy if I manage to get 600kps on this N1.
I went to the outdoor mall in my neighborhood that has the T-Mobile antenna there. I was getting about -75dbm and when I covered the back of the phone with my palm as demonstrated in the videos showcasing the 3g problem my reception would drop to about -105dbm... is it me or is that excessive considering how close I was?
i just got this phone yesterday. it's a pretty good phone and feel solid but what dissapoint me is the web browsing speed. i live in tampa and i heard we got hspa. so i dunno why i'm getting 0.40-70 mbps most of the times. the guys who work at t-mobile show me their speed test on their nexus one shows around 2-4.0 mbps.
anyway to fix this problem? did i got a faulty device? i usually try the web in my house and i dunno if that's the reason why my nexus one doesn't get fast speed. but my evo 4g runs okay.....even tho it's from sprint.
You sure that you have the T-mobile version of the nexus one?
AKA- is it displaying the 3g Icon?
okay, i've just drove around tampa and speed test my nexus one's 3g. the highest i went up to so far is 2.61 mbps. that's the highest i think i've seen so far from my nexus one. even my sprint's evo 4g doesn't go up that high. that's not bad! lol i'll try to compare those two again tomorrow when i'm at work. i guess the reason why i got slow speed is because i'm in a crowd neighborhood community and t-mobile coverage is not as good compare to when i go to the main road. even tho i did i got 1.36 mbs yesternight when i stepped out of my house. in the house....it's not so good.
well, i'm glad it's not my nexus one problem and more to do with my area. now i get go return my evo 4g and save some money on my family plan. gotta admit tho, sprint's 3g stay consistent most of the time compare to tmobile.
and yea, i checked the inside back of my phone yesterday and it was for tmobile. it shows 3g most of the times too. thanks man. cheer!
In my opinion, sometimes those radio waves just don't pass through walls as easily as gamma particles do. Now, if we could figure out a way to get a phone to use gamma radiation, but not kill people or give them cancer, that might be a pretty sweet setup!! Sorry, this probably makes no sense, but I am tired, and its late.
make sense lol. could it be the material of the walls? because when i'm at walmart or some of the other stores, the 3g on my evo 4g is still fast. haven't tried the nexus yet.

I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but I think I rather have low cellphone signal than cancer lol..
I just seem to get worse 3G reception when I go inside a building. Like in my house, I am getting 200 kbps, but outside it will be closer to 700 sometimes. It really bums me out
But, yes, I agree with you. Bad cell phone reception is better than getting cancer. Tho there are some nuts that think that cell phones WILL give you cancer, lol.
