I did the kaisertweak to enable the H network or whatever (yes i don't understand it)
the network still says E or 3G . It said that all the time, for the last few days.
Then I was messing around trying to get this gps to work in google maps and I noticed it switched to H. but now it's back to 3G. is this all normal?
Ive noticed that too..
no idea what it means
what operator are you with in what country
check with them to see if you have hsdpa reception my hsdpa is enabled but since i dont have coverage i stay at 3g
hsdpa is a better version of 3g
its often called 3.5g 3g+ or mobile broadband so basically all the twaek is is to let your phone get the faster connection but only if your operator has the signal to do so
The H icon (HSDPA) is a step up from 3G it allows anything up to 7.2Mbs transfer but the HTC instead of contantly allowing this to be active thus creating massive battery drain only allows it when a data connection is active and data is being transferred any other time and you will only get G, E or 3G
3g alows ypou to have video conferences but H mean HSPD fast internet 3,6Mbit or 7.2Mbit depands that the difference i belive.
exactly just because you enable it doesnt mean you can recive it
I turned hsdpa with kaiser tweak also. I noticed it will only connect to hsdpa when transferring data (IE, emails, weather, ect.). Otherwise it will go back to 3G when on the today screen, or offline tasks. I guess its to conserve power?
Maybe thats what your seeing?
ok thanks, looks to be normal =]
I thought that there was no 3g coverage in my area, but i have recently discovered that there is and a friend of mine has 2,7mbps whereas i have 140kbps. I can see the 3g and H icon only for a few seconds,when i turn my phone on,then they disappear and i go through the conection setup, and i get the G(gprs?) icon for a few seconds and then the E(edge ) icon but no H or 3g. Im stuck at low speeds and though i have enabled the HDSPA it didnt help.What should i do?
Im thinking of flashing a new radio version..
Hello Legend users. I'm posting here on behalf of a friend who has had his Legend for about a month. He has been having connection issues. Most specifically his 3g drops all the time, or rather it switches from 3g to H in the status bar whenever he opens his browser. Ive tried adjusting his apn settings (Bell Mobility) which didnt work. I searched on the web and found some info referring to connection problems with early build numbers. Given that we are in Canada it wouldnt surprise me if he was on the earliest build number out there. His current is 2.02.666.3 (CL177708). And i guess the question i have for all of you is whether anyone else here has had similar issues?
Any help is appreciated

It says 3g and shows H when downloading.
3g is just the name of the network type. H stands for HDSPA and is the "speed".
So its normal to show H when on 3g. If it shows E (edge) or G (gprs) then it means 2g speeds, that is G is extremely slow en E is a bit faster but H is 7.2mbps (depending on network, might just be 3.6 if you dont have turbo 3g).
i don't think legend has 3g issues. i've been using legend from the build # 1.31, 1.32, 2.03,2.05, and 2.06. never really had an issue with 3g(i live in Korea and using KT). But i do have problem with wifi connection. it does connect to my wifi router and indicate that it is connected, but i always loose connection. i have another 4g hotspot router that is secure connection with password, that one connects find but still sometimes drops connection. don't know if this is related to the problems of aluminum case issues....but still......wifi connection is not acceptable.
K i feel stupid. Guess i should have read his manual over. Cant guess why his web pages wont load then? Super slow and then times out..... consistently. Ill play with it some more tonight.

Having slight issues with my note on vodafone Uk, whenever I try to browse the internet and the 3g sign in status bar shows weboages don't load at all, when the H is showing bam they load really fast, and even when the E is showing they load but slowly, which is to be expected with edge. So why wouldn't it be loading when on 3g? Have I got some setting wrong on the phone?
HSDPA is faster than 3G.
3G (3rd Generation of Telecommunication Standards) is a standard of cellular connectivity which allows for speeds of up to 384 Kb/s downstream and 64 Kb/s upstream. 3G HSDPA is a 3G enhancement. HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a new mobile data protocol and is sometimes referred to as a 3.5G. Theoretically, HSDPA speeds can reach 3.6 Mbps downstream and 348 Kbps upstream. But the purpose of putting both on a smartphones is to make sure that your phone get internet access even when the other one is not available or have no access
possibly an issue with vodafone, have you contacted them to see if there are any issues?
as for the above post, totally irrelevant and hsdpa wil lgo alot faster than 3.6

Yeah they seems to think my sim card needed resetting, but hasn't made a difference, still does it. Hopefully someone has the same issues with a work around searched the net for hours, with not effect. The other weird thing is if its stuck on 3g and not loading I usually disable data on power button menu then er enable and H usually comes back and it works again, even if I turn it to GSM only in network setting, so Edge is only possible it works fine also just takes ages to load any pages which is annoying!
how long you had the sim card? it might be a provisioning issue with it
You think? Well I've had it a few years now like, 3 I think.
Vodafone SIM card works fine in my Note (SIM free from Germany).
I'd suggest try your SIM card with a different phone and try a different SIM card in your Note if possible to see if the fault is with your SIM card or Note.
P.S. Are you using any custom ROM? Could be a problem there.
No I'm on stock rom kka, yeah sure its something today with network or sim card, just rang them to get a new similar. Hopefully that will sort it out.

Fixed my issue, turns out it was happening a lot with people who have the galaxy s2, needed to enter code *#301279#, and release 5 hspa only, then disable fast dormancy mode on the phone, now I'm getting fast 3g everywhere :-D
It does say 3g and not just g?
if youre in the uk and only getting edge or gprs it may not be the phones fault.
I had a similar issue, we all assume we can get full 3G everywhere, not necessarily.
To solve this you need to buy the Vodafone sure signal box, it basically plugs into your home broadband router and then transmits full 3g around your house to whatever numbers you register on the box, including dongles.
The whole family can use it as you can register 32 numbers into it.
Cost about £50 new, i have a BNIB never been used or taken out of the box new one here, up for sale as it happens for £25.
Anyone interested should PM me....
Or you could just use wifi as you are at home anyway.
As I said sorted the issue it had something to do with the phone locking into search for hspa, and not reverting back to 3g when there wasn't any hspa signal. Apparently its a problem Samsung are working on. But the little fix of only scanning for 3g works for now, and I did a bandwidth test on hepatitis, and 3g, and 3g was actually faster. So not bothered.
Great find bud u should start another thread explaining the steps in a guide cause this is great info for Vodafone UK users

Hey guys!
Got a question on internet/browsing performance.
I've got a C6602, and no matter what i do (rom change, internet optimizations....) the 3G data connections lags from reaaaaallllly Slloooowwww to Not working at all.
HSPA and HSPA+ speeds/connections work fine. It's only when the phone reverts to 3G or 2G that internet connection Lags.
Any one experienced this problem and does anyone know the fix?
