View Full Version : Stupid newby question "H or 3G" ?

On my ATT TILT with custom ROM on ATT network in NYC I can see only "H" icon and never "3G" icon.

On original TILT user guide it says you get H when HSDPA is available and 3G when UMTS is available.

Is it "ok" and means I am getting fastest data access possible or should I be worried?

I tried to do some search here on forum and some research otherwise but frankly it's a bit confusing.

Thanks in advance

Anyone want to set this guy straight? I would do it but it seems that ATW has a problem with my corrections. I am 100% sure I have seen this question, what, about a dozen or so times?

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people :rolleyes:.

H is better than 3G. I have not seen a 3G icon since I parted ways with the stock AT&T ROM 10 months ago.

I've not seen the 3G icon WITH the stock AT&T ROM in months. I don't think the ROM has anything to do with it.

I just used KaiserTweak to get HSDPA. It is definitely better.

Better rom, better radio, better signal. Of course the rom has something to do with it. I live in a small town outside of Boston that thinks that cell towers are a blight on the landscape ( they are probably right ) but we have no cell towers in town. I have had stock and custom roms.

With the stock rom and stock radio I get 3G most of the time but sometimes only E . With the upgraded rom and associated upgraded radio, I got 3G all the time and sometimes H . 3G and H are the same (to me anyway ).
