Hi,
Just recently got the Tilt and applied the Kaiser tweak from the sticky, in which I enabled the H icon. Here's my question tho,
Just this evening ATT turned up 3G on the towers near me, so when I first turned on my phone this evening-shock of all shocks- I see 3G-WOOHOO!!!
Getting great streaming from a basic microsoft media page at like 450Kbps-not complaining at all, it's awesome-from somewhere that Edge was the fastest for a looong time.
But now,after applying the tweak to enable the H icon, it is always H , not like it switches to 3G? I might be wrong,but isn't the H icon only supposed to show up when you are actually downloading data?
It's on all the time on my phone now,not complaining-have the "Unlimited" data pkg from ATT, just wondering?
Anyone care to help out a networkin noob?

D'OH- noob city - lol- it is working right-the big H is on all the time-only get the little h when it's dloading-umm, mods if ya wanna delete this thread-please do!! I can't figure out how-yet.

The 3G Icon has never displayed on my tilt. I live an area that supposedly has great 3G coverage.
It's quite annoying since all the screenshots I've seen of the Tilt are always displaying the icon.
I get the E, H, and very rarely the G icons but I've never seen the 3G icon.
Any ideas?
Well,
The H is for HSDPA, which is higher speed than what the 3G denotes....so I'd say that you are doing just fine.
Yeah, I do get he H quite a bit.
But I just find it strange that I've never seen the 3G Icon.
Maybe because I am not using the stock AT&T ROM. I'm using Q-Mobile 1.2
Is the 3G icon specific to the Stock AT&T Rom?
Yea, is there a cab that changes the icon to 3G?
I have the stock AT&T ROM in my Tilt. When it goes online, the 3G lights up first, then, when I am lucky, an H replaces it. The difference in speed is noticable when the H is on. You can use Kaiser Tweaks to enable HSDPA on the Tilt - stock, it only allows access to the slower 3G speeds.
Why would you want to disable the higher speed transfer?
The H icon you are seeing is actually a good thing as it means that AT&T now has full HSDPA coverage in your area. In my case, the first three months that I had my Tilt, the 3G icon showed when idle and the H icon showed when I was downloading data. One day, out of nowhere, the 3G icon disappeared and has been replaced by the H icon for good. I have now noticed two things that are different now that the H shows all the time.
1. I can now make a call without the data connection being disconnected.
2. My download speeds shot through the roof! When the 3G icon was there, I had speeds of about 550kbps. Now I get speeds of 1000kbps!
Dont worry, I too panicked and tried to fix the missing icon, but even after a hard reset didn't remedy the situation, then I knew it was something tower-based.
H is good. It's amazing. It's like cable internet in your pocket. (OK...but close...)

On a Tilt you can also go to Start / Programs / File Explorer / My Device / Windows / HSDPASwitch to enable and disable HSDPA. You can even create a shortcut to it and put it in your programs folder or start menu.
There's a lot of hidden goodies in the windows folder. Everyone should just browse through there and see if they find anything interesting. (Field Test is there too!)

I've clocked downloads at up to 1,200k over my Tilt.

No I mean just the icon, I don't want the H icon. I just want 3G. For some reason when ever I look at it it makes me feel like its a slow speed.

HSDPA is the fastest type of 3G available. Think of the H as the strongest possible connection.
In my city, I get 3G icon in the phone mode while not connected to the internet. While I was in Las Vegas, I get the H icon in the phone mode while not connected to the internet. It's strange but it's true. I've always thought the H icon is for data only but apparently H is also in phone mode too. I get the H icon in my city only when I'm usnig the AT&T's data and only while there's data session. When data is idle, it change back to 3G. But when I was in vegas, it never changed to 3G. It always displays H.

I don't know. That's where it is on my Tilt... You can always download Advanced Config or Kaiser Tweak to enable it as well.

I have been using Paragon RC5 for a while and just upgraded to RC6. This is a great rom and I love it! I have one question though, what is the "H" stand for on the status bar? I know the up and down arrows are obviously upload/download but why doesn't it show 3G instead of H?
HSDPA/HSUPA, is a feature of 2.2.1 roms. Sometimes you should see 3G unless they have taken that out of the rom all togethor.
Yeah, I see 3G pop up every now and then. So, even if it says H I am still running on 3G, correct?

Correct. Most carriers disable the faster H setting on their ROMs. Most ROM chefs enable it in theirs. If you're seeing it, that's a good thing.
The cropped screenshots show an odd 'home' shaped symbol with clouds over it on the phone signal strength indicator in the notification bar next to the battery. It blinks kind irregularly every second or so. It is always blue while the signal strength stays mostly grey. This happened after I applied the .232 ICS update going from .905. I am not roaming, all radios work fine, phone works fine. I haven't found the symbol on any list of ICS symbols and icons. Anyone have a clue what it is or how to get rid of it?
You're not using any custom roms? That's the first that i've ever seen that symbol and I go thru 3g and 4g symbols a lot since i commute between towns.
Likewise... I even did some googling for you... I came up with squat! I've never seen this symbol before and now I'm going to be up all night over it... THANKS! Could it be something special with your celltower in your area, or does it do this everywhere you go?
Could it be when you select home or automatic in the data /roaming preferences that's what pops up? Lemme change mine and see what happens
Edit. I guess that option was on my old 3g incredible.

Reported elsewhere as well (Droid Forum). I upgraded to the leaked 232 as well and do not have this symbol.

It is worth noting that the preference you mention was available in Gingerbread, not in ICS. If the setting was active before upgrading to ICS, who knows what would happen?
That is a connected to a femtocell notification. Ie Verizon network extender.

That is correct, sir! I figured it out last night. Away from home the symbol goes away, and back to home it returns. I have had a Verizon network extender for two years due to virtually no signal at home. It is the older model with just phone signal booster, not data as the new ones also so. Thank goodness, I was going nuts trying to figure out what was going on or what I had done wrong going to the .232 ICS leak.
Hello everyone, I just got this phone a few hours ago and theres something that bothers the hell outta me. My network signal shows both 4G/LTE icons making the signal go behind the notch, I have not found a solution yet for this issue.
Heres a link directly to the screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/7TgLbE4

Mine shows only one 4G not 2.
Like in the screenshots. Isn''t this your theme?
Got the default theme as soon as I turn down wifi it shows 4G LTE all together.
This is how it looks btw.
