[Q] 4G Support?

[htcsensationxeuser]

I have a HTC Sensation XE, is there like a driver to enable 4G? My country supports 4G.

Unless you got the T-Mobile US htc sensation 4g then you cant use 4g. Its not a driver thing, its a hardware + aerial thing

Um... the sensation regardless supports hspa+ (what T-Mobile calls 4g).

Op: do you see "H" when using mobile data?

Actually Hspa+ is not 4g, its referred to as 3.5g.
how do I know this? well in the uk ofcom are not auctioning the 4g spectrum until Q4 2012 at the earliest and I have the H symbol on my phone but it doesnt mean 4g because the 4g is not availible yet.
The important point is that HSPA+ is not 4G

To further elaborate on this 4g discussion:

In the US, AT&T actually calls HSPA+ '4g'.

I'm not sure about T-mobile's '4g' network, otoh.

The TMobile Sensation 4G is no different from other Sensations. It still only supports HSDPA 14mbps (only 16qam, no mimo/dc).

HSPA+ starts at 21mbps with 64qam. I believe it's getting more "acceptable" now for hspa+ to be called "4g" ahough.


So to reiterate, the Sensation 4G isn't 4G and not does support HSPA+.

I should have elaborated. In the UK we talk of hspa+ as being 3.5g and 4G as actually being 4G because of the 4G trials and spectrum auction. I had no idea that 4G meant hspa+ in the US and other countries so thanks for telling me that - they do say you learn a new thing everyday! and apoligies for any confusion I caused
