Just got my ATT N1 and was wondering if there is any way of turning on HSPA? I just got my Telus droid last week and that has HSPA and i like how fast it is...The milestone shows 3g and H when downloading. how can i enable the N1 to to d/l on or show the H? Thanks in advanced...
Also is anyone having reception issues...on the N1 im having 2-3 bars when my droid and 3gs is full bars...if so i hope there is also a fix for that...
perhaps the nexus doesnt have a HSPA icon and just displays a 3g one in its place, easiest way to know is download a SPEEDTEST app and check your data speeds.
i had the droid myself, just sold it. and got the nexus, the droid showed HSPA since thats prob available in Canada, not in US. So it was essentially what i described above
if i understand right its that u cant, the N1's 3g wasnt built to work with atts 3g so your only ever gonna get half of the 3g through att, so no hspa on Att, could be wrong though.

The factory ROM doesn't show an H, it uses the 3G icon for both.
You can look in the settings to see if you're on HSDPA or not when downloading.

the rom's are personal preference. I personally use cyanogen as it has everything i need right now.

I am getting 1.3 on speed tests, does the Bionic have a 4G indicator? All I see is 3G in the top bar.
The card is in correctly, it is activated, I can make calls, browse the web, but no 4G and I am in a RED coverage area. Other phones get 4G here...
any ideas? Something I forgot to do?
Yes it should say 4g. Go to wireless settings and mobile network and force it to 3g and then back to auto and see if that helps.
i am in a full 4g area (not extended coverage area), the best speed i have seen on 4g using the speedtest.net app is 1500 kbs, more typically it is around 1000 kbs. 3g tops out at about 400 kbs, so at least 4g is a little faster :-(
Thats really odd, my Bionic is getting better speeds then my Charge did by a little bit. Try turning off the phone and pulling the battery. If that does not help try a factory reset and let it re activate.

Just spent 30 minutes with technical support, they said it should be working, they suggested I go to another area with 4G coverage and try it.
I will be doing that later.
They said if I still get no 4G when others do, it's my phone and I'll need to return it.
I will update this thread in case anyone has the same issue.
Troubleshooting was:
Power Down Phone
Take Out battery
Remove Sim
Wait a minute
Put it all back together
Then same thing while being reactivated by tech.

wow, 4g is absolutely amazing (20 Mbs download)...about one mile from my house, apparently i live in a HOLE even though Verizon's 4g coverage map says otherwise
gormly - have you tried connecting to 4g from different locations? might be worth a shot if you haven't

Ouch. You should get them to send you a micro sell for your house lol.
Does anyone with stock honeycomb show 4g in the notification bar? Mine only shows 3g even being in a 4g area. Put the same simm card in my gingerbread streak and it shows 4g. Does honeycomb only show 3g? Its the little things that drive me nuts!
Thanks.

I have the same issue.
It's nowhere as fast as my Verizon LG revolution on 4g either. I'm beginning to wonder if it really is connecting at 4g.

Under tablet status/network type it says HSPA. Shouldn't it say HSPA+ if it is 4g ?

+1 that I'd like to know an answer to this as well. I suppose I could go to Speedtest.net, but I'm not sure what I should look for to "prove" it's really 4G.

HSPA+ is not actually 4G so it's possible this is a fault in Honeycomb (not recognizing it as 4G). If there was an actual verified OTA from T-Mobile, we would probably see the indicator as "4G"

Ummm... this was a new Dell Streak 4G that CAME with HC 3.2 installed, so I think it is close to whatever the OTA might be. That said, I think I can prove we are getting 4G speeds. Check out my Speedtest result from my runs this morning:

Faster than my Cable Modem or my Clear WiMax service. If it wasn't for the 3 Gig restriction I'd be tempted to get another line and replace my home service
Android displays HSPA+ as '4g' (even though the original definition it isnt 4g)
Check settings -> about -> status and see if the network type is HSPA or HSPA+
I believe it's only the statusbar not turning on the 4g inidicatior, it needs to be specifically enabled in 2.2 and the line isnt in the 3.2 build.prop
It only shows HSPA, no plus. My downloads are nowhere near ewan's download speeds. At best 4 or 5 mbps. I put the simm card in my older gingerbread streak and it shows 4g, and the same HSPA in status without the plus.

I'd go with t-mobile. No matter where I've lived it had best service and quality and speeds.
Its 3g is normally better then my 4g speeds and my 4gs speeds are blown outta the water compared to sprint 4g.
But might just be my area
Well I know my area has terrible t mobile service Verizon says I should have good coverage but yet I get terrible service when my friend gets great service and iv been threw every step of tech support did not help also got my phone replaced did not help I was just wondering if Samsung put a bad antenna or radio in there note 3 I want to keep the note 3 am willing to switch carriers but don't want to be stuck with the same problem
What area are u located in my area code is 95621 may they have gotten better since iv had them
So why post this in the sprint forum? ??

That's about two MB per second on a play store download and my S3 used to average around that much...can someone shed some light?

It may be both. I'll have to chat with AT&T and see what they say. It is maybe my phone? I read that the XT1053 is missing certain LTE bands that the XT1058 has. But then again like I said, my S3 had the same speeds.

Here's what I found from GSMarena... There's 850 for LTE missing it looks like... I think I'm reading that correctly? Lol

I actually used to live in Cleveland, but moved back to the DC area about a year ago. I remember getting two to three times the speeds you're getting on LTE, but then again, I was using an iPhone 5 back then.
Bought a Moto X Developer Edition XT1053 and have been getting strong LTE coverage so far within the DC metro area.
http://imgur.com/a/E7wY0 < Pics lol. So My Phone wasn't showing LTE at the top and it's had a "!" with 5/4 bars showing so I panicked thinking I didn't have LTE (Which I did, I don't know why the Symbol went AWOL) so I went into Networks setting and changed Preferred Network Type into LTE (recommended) about 30mins later I got the LTE Symbol back. So Is there anyway I can change it back to "Global" and not LTE (recommended)? I just wanna make sure I can get 3G/2G when needed even tho I normally get 4G LTE everywhere I live hehe. I have bad OCD lol and this is affecting me badly LMAO
Is global really needed if you're in the states? I have mine set to LTE as well but I get 3g.

dial *#*#4636#*#*, then choose phone info, scroll down then change lte only to either lte/gsm or lte/gsm/cdma.
