3G Service Question?

My area just got 3G service. In my Notification Bar I see the "H"icon and from time to time I see quick flash of the "3G" should I always see the "3G" not sure exactly how Data Packages work. Is there some setting I need to change or do now that I have 3G service?

This is a question those are usually asked in the Q&A section. Although this one in particular could have been answered by a simple search.
H stands for hspa and is 3g only slightly faster. You have 3g now enjoy.

H is 3G, but faster. Nothing to worry about. Most custom ROMs allow you to see the H whereas stock does not. A search would have answered this easily.

Thanks for the replies. I knew what the icons meant because I had previously done a Search for that but wasn't sure why they kept changing back and forth. I'll try Posting on Custom ROM site to find out the reason then.

That's normal behavior for custom ROMs in 3G service. I have never understood why it does that either. Even my WinMo phones did that with custom ROMs. Expect to see H most of the time, it will seemingly randomly switch to 3G (for a brief moment), but that switch will never cause you to drop signal, or lose bandwidth. For all intents and purposes for every day use ignore that difference.

Yes it does work or should work as it is already confirmed by HTCDEV.com in a response to an user query through their twitter account. Here is the proof.

Yep - retail.

You can go ahead and sell it to me for $5.

Seriously though, like the other user asked... Do you have LTE in your area? If so, can you give comparisons of the device you had previously and the One now. Like what levels of RSRP are you seeing in places you frequent versus your previous device.

I am in the Twin Cities, MN, so I have LTE in various places. I won't be able to compare to my EVO because it's not active on my line, but I'll post speeds later tonight when I go through an LTE zone (thank you Micro Center for being perfectly placed...).
Testing now. I would like to go S-Off before I test, but I guess that can wait.

I will see. I tend not to associate with people with SG3s... I have an Evo, so does my bro. When we get the chance I'll compare. By then they should be out though... I'll see if I can get out tomorrow.

Xperia Z(c6603) : LTE on AT&T by ZL(c6506) baseband method.

I have been following the "LTE in Canada" thread, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this working on AT&T. Is there anyone out there that has this working pn their AT&T service? Screen shots of speed tests, please!
If it is not possible to do this for AT&T like it is for Rogers and Fido, can someone please explain why not?
Thank you. I kno the T-Mo xperia z(6606) is out, but it is network locked.

Ok two points to make -
1. Dont post questions in General, thread now moved to Q&A.
2. If you recive an answer that you dont agree with, then it's best to ignore the said answer and move on, lets behave in a more mature manner please.
Thanks

Need to be sure it works before I buy the phone.

I tried, so far I cannot make LTE work with either TMOBILE or ATT...
Looks like the baseband from zl cannot work on both.

I also tried baseband from C6506. It didn't work on both t-mo and at&t even though it says support LTE band 1, 2, 4, 5 and 17.

Appreas GSM instead of 3G when Data ON

Dear Sir,
I had Unlocked the HTC ONE (Sprint).. Now a Problem is about the Data.
The Data Works fine and Well.
But the Problem is that Above the network signal instead of 3G, its written GSM, When Data or internet is ON.
it looks like something ODD. Can you Help to edit it as 3G instead of GSM.
Would be Great Help.
Thank you,

H, H+, and LTE?

Is there anyway to be able to tell when I am using H+ and not just H?

in aosp roms sometimes they will enable the H+ indicator. Xposed doesn't work right yet, only way i know right now is probably through a widget on the desktop or going to settings/status/cellular network type will show whether its hspa or hspa+

Mine says E,H,H+,LTE depending on where I am.

I'll take a screenshot the next time that I have H+ for you. I have LTE right now but I'm sure I can find an area with H+ relatively fast because I live in the middle of nowhere.

Here is the elusive H+ that I mentioned earlier.

It wont show in the statusbar anymore which is what i assume u would prefer. The dropdown and the status screen in settings is about it anymore.

I usually get LTE unless I take a call, then it will stay on H/H+ for a while before going back to LTE.
It doesn't stay on H+ for that long which is why it was hard to take a screenshot. It maybe stays for st most 10 seconds then drops to H before going back to LTE. When I had ATT it would stay on H+ for lo get periods of time.

Man, still not able to see H+. Only H and LTE... so weird.

op, H+ isnt enabled in stock. only a custom rom will enable H+ so that it can be seen in the status bar. otherwise, H means both H and H+.

So I'm not crazy, that guy was just wring lol. Thanks.

Its sad that this never occurred to me as the reason.(the holidays and finals have clearly made me forget things) As Simms22 said I'm using a custom ROM (liquid smooth) so that's why its there.

My first Android phone has ICS when I bought it but it was a Samsung so it showed 3g instead. I didn't know this was a ROM feature until now. Its good to learn new things.
