[Q] Question about the 'H' in the bar - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just root my phone with Phoenix last night and I have a question. Can someone tell me what the 'H' is in the bar at the top? Before I rooted my phone it said 3G or E, not mostly I see H. Thanks for the help

H is HSPA, which is faster than 3g, enjoy....

How do I enable it because I saw it once before and I dont see it at all anymore?

Continuum v6.1

I was wondering how to enable the 3g on my captivate. Im using Continuum v6.1, when I load my web browser it says 3g then turns off n says H. Is this a normal issue or should I flash back to a different rom. Sorry im fairly new to this and I didn't find anything related to my issue in the search

H stands for hspa. It is a faster form of 3g, it is capable of speeds twice as fast as normal 3g.
Oh really? That's great thanks man. Learn something new everyday.

I am using RemICS too, and looked for a solution to your problem but did not.
The only thing that crossed my mind, did you make the phone look networks exist in your area and check if the network, you are looking for, will appear. If this happens just select it there.
Sorry for my poor english.

Settings>system>notification draw>widget buttons>toggle 2G/3G to add the toggle to status bar for easy switching between the to, to do it manually, settings>more>mobile networks>use only 2G networks.
These questions should be posted in remICS thread instead of starting a new one.

Could you screen shot your Data Connection option screen?
maybe try a re-flash of the same rom....
give it another shot.
just a guess. good luck..
when you do get it fixed, please post your results. thanks
Ask the phone provider if the problem came from them first before you do anything.
If not, do a clean install using pc odin and format your internal sd also, to be sure.

this are screenshots you ask? dont know what you call data connection options screens
APN type needs to have Internet included as well along with default,supl,mms.
Most carriers do not have their own 3G spectrum and in most cases are running of shared networks. If that is the case, you need ensure your "Roaming" is enabled under your data connections.

youre welcome,
on that note, delete apns, if you have root, restart and reregister manually on your home network, restart, it didnt work? Check if throught provider website you can send settings to phone. If that didnt work is unavailable contact provider to send or troubleshoot connection speeds
Note your neteork speed maybe dependant on frequencies unsupported on Note. That you can probably figure out with your provider to and with your notes specifications. I dont suspect this is the issue.

[Q] AOIP and data

Hey guys. I'm a total noob so sorry if this has been mentioned before!
Just installed AOIP and i'm loving how quick everything responds. But I am seeing some weird things with data. I seem to be switching between 3G and H (4G ?) constantly. And when its not switching back and fourth, I'm on 3G. I've never used 3G (only 4G) when on stock ROM. Not understanding why I'm always on 3G now?? any setting that I should change? I'm not using any themes. Its not a huge deal but I would have to assume this dance between 3G and 4G would contribute to battery loss.

When you installed did you wipe everything rom cach dalvik cache dalvik data. I would wipe everything again then reinstall the rom.

no difference. I wiped and re-flash the phone twice and I'm still getting the same thing.

I am pretty sure the stock ROM switches as well. But the icon always shows 4g.

boo! that sucks. but that might explain why I don't ever remember seeing 3G but I have seen 2G. Does this happen with all other ROMs? I've only tried this one.

This is because custom ROMs do not support 4g icons, I have a zip in the q&a section that fixes this.
Note: if you are using a theme after flashing the zip the icon will go back to 3g/h unless you are using the stock system them. I will post a link to the zip

Sorry, my noob-ness is showing. I thought that fix was just to show the 4G icon instead of the H. Or am I missing something? The H doesn't really bother me, its constant switching between 3G and H. I *thought* I had good 4G coverage.

It switches from 3g to H(or H+) when it is downloading. Reverts to 3g when it doesn't need the higher speed. This is good for you as it saves battery. Hopefully that answers your question.
You could download speedtest.net app and test your speeds on both Roms and see if there is any difference. If not, no need to worry about it.
Also I think the switching speeds to save battery answer ^^^ makes sense

Thanks everyone!! I installed the 4G icon fix and it seems to be steady on 4G now. I'm not sure what to think about that. I'm standing in the same spot I was when it kept switching every few seconds before the fix. Oh well.
The icon fix just replaces the 3G and H icon. But you will still get 3G and 2g icons when in areas with that low service

I tried to DL the fix, but flashing it failed twice. No big. I'll just leave it alone knowing the H means the same thing.

4G instead of LTE??

My xperia Z used to display LTE on the status bar with the journalists ROM (4.3). Recently i flashed it with the generic UK 4.3 rom and now it says 4G. Is this normal with this rom? Is there a way to change it?
I think that just depends on the region your ROM is from. I think some marketing regions use 4G and others use LTE. It's normal, won't affect anything.
You could probably go in there and change it to whatever you wanted if you rooted your device.
Yeah it's just a flag set in one of the apk's in /system/etc/customisation/overlay/

Hi,
can you be more precise ? There is a /system/etc/customization but no overlay subfolder (only settings and content)...
Thanks by advance.

The 4G icon is caused by the overlay file /system/vendor/overlay/SemcPhone-Overlay-XXX.apk. If you delete that file, you will get the default LTE icon. However, it's only an icon, it has no effect whatsoever on the connectivity or performance of your phone. I'd recommend to just leave it like it is, to prevent problems with OTA updates.

Yes, that's the one, was just getting to reply but you saved me the trouble, thanks.
Thanks to you both
I have found that it is actually /system/vendor/overlay/SystemUI-Overlay-285.apk that is causing the icon switch. It is the only overlay I keep in my rom for that reason. ?
