I'd like to know whether I'm on UMTS or HSDPA generally... How would you go about doing this? I know when I ran the Galaxy S i9000 ROMs on my Vibrant, it would show the H if I was on HSDPA, seemed useful enough for me.
[REQ] Show H when connected to HSDPA

If you go to settings, about phone, status.. it will tell you what you are connected to currently... there is also a connectivity widget also but I'm not sure what its called..

I'm sure when custom roms are being pushed out the H will show, but I miss it as well.
I know this, just trying to avoid having to go there to find out. It'll give me an idea of whether I'm gonna get 3.6mbps or 7mbps so...
i hate to break this everybody but the Nexus S does not support HSPA+ which is what TMO's new network is. it does support HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA at 5.6Mbps. this is no good for t-mobile users.
Did I say HSPA+ anywhere -_-. Either way, HSPA+ benefits even HSDPA phones. The only thing that makes the G2 or MyTouch 4G "more 4G" is that they are capped at 14.4mbps (hardware) instead of the 7.2.
I guess you aren't understanding what I am saying. the phone only connects to UMTS on t-mobile. how is going to show an H in the status bar when at this moment in time it will never connect to anything other than UMTS

do your research dude. this is not the vibrant-_-.
It connects to HSDPA and UMTS.As does Vibrant... and almost every T-Mobile phone
Then how am I getting 5+mbps sometimes? UMTS maxes out at 3.6.
Not to mention the specs
Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700
HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)
Why would it be on the spec list and not be on the phone? HSDPA is a standard for T-Mobile phones. It doesn't do HSPA+ which is up to 14.4mbps... I'm pretty sure I saw HSDPA in the settings as well I'll check again next time I'm getting 5mbps down
