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.

ok i have the HTC CDMA Sprint HERO.. and im woundering if there is anything i can do/install on my phone to improve 3G reception at my house... i have ify spots at my house where it just wont hold 3g.. is there like an external antenna i can plug in.. or can i wire one in... ive allready installed the radio update. but it didnt really help.. thanks for your time.. i hope someone can help me..
Try all of the radios, not just the most recent, some are better for some than others.
Also, if you call sprint and complain about splotchy coverage they may give you an AirRave - caveat: you have to have high speed internet for those to work.
well the AirRave thing wont work.. lol the reason why i need my phone in 3g is so i can teather it lol.. but do you happen to have a link for the radios?
and i just flash the radios zip file right? and it will over write the one i have installed now?

Yeah, Read the directions on that website.
Make sure you ONLY EVER get radios from this site OR this sub forum of XDA. This can brick your phone....
They flash a little differently than a rom. After you tell it the update.zip you want to flash, you will see it reboot to a different background image. If it appears stuck after a few minutes, roll your scroll wheel and see if the selection at the top changes. if it does, then its done.... I think... been a while...
Better yet...read the directions.

unless you've found a workaround, I don't believe tethering works over 3G on the Sprint network unless you have an EVO - tethering does work over WiFi with the Hero.

Flash an Eris based ROM. Note this this may break the Sprint apps (NFL, Nascar, etc Nav and TV will still work)
What's the pri?

Just yesterday, I used CWM and got Andromeda 2.1 on my phone. Just by playing around with it I saw SGS Tools. There was a thing at the very bottom of the list in the secret codes which was called "Switch 3G--- HSPA". I looked it up on Google to see what it does, then I started playing with it. Finally I chose the option that is usually stock, and I used the speedtest. I usually get low 3.00's where I was, but yesterday I was getting around 4-6 mbps. My highest speed was 6.07. So what did I do to make it so fast? Did I break the AT&T restrictions? Also if I did, will it make my bill cost more?

My area is the same way... I get between 2-3mbps on download and .7-1.0 on the upload.
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.

Hi, I have gotten the time without signal 100% status on two different roms that i have tried. Both the Holics and the Dark Raider roms both give this status to me. On holics I was using his kernel and on dark raider i was using faux's kernel. Has anybody had this happen or know a solution? I have signal just fine however.

You know, its kinda weird. I ate dinner tonight in an area with honest to god lte and the signal went green and stayed green even when I got back home to 3.5g land. I rebooted to check my phone's sanity and it said i didn't have signal again. Apparently it doesn't like 3.5g at all. Its not true signal or something. I have no idea what radio I'm on. I thought the radio was pretty much stock for all vivid builds.

Hi guys is it possible to change the data icon from h to 4g or 3g? thanks
Not sure why this is important to you, but in case you're wondering whether you're in 4G/3G, not that 'H' typically signifies 3G and 'LTE' signifies 4G in stock Android.

Why do you want to change it? There's already a 3g icon, used for 3g. I've seen all 3 icons pop up on my N6. Do you just want only the two icons to ever pop up, 3g and LTE?
EDIT: Either way, I think you might need a rom, or maybe a launcher + root could do it?

You must be a T-Mobile user if you want HSPA to display falsely as 4G :silly:
Here is how it was done on a Nexus 4. Since this is a developer's forum, take the plunge, try this on your Nexus 6, and report back. If you refuse to, then a developer's forum is the wrong place for you.
