[T-Mobile LG G2x] doubleohwhatever:
Apparently (according to numerous XDA posts I've read) the G2x displays the 4G icon if you're in a 4G OR 3G coverage area. In other words, even if you're only in a 3G area, the 4G icon will be displayed.

As for the speeds, I've pulled down a max of 7mbps since I've had the phone. At my house which is supposedly a 4G area (according to the tmo coverage map) the max I've ever pulled down is 1.8mbps. My theory is that the back-haul is somewhat limited on the tower close to my house. Due to the geography I'm fairly sure they're using the same ISP I'm using (Charter). The tower is located in the middle of a huge suburban area with only Charter and AT&T providing service. AT&T DSL maxes out at 1.5mpbs in the area and Charter maxes out at 18mbps. Now, I've seen the tower and there's no equipment on it for a wireless back-haul. So basically the odds are they're using a few CBN (Charter Business) lines for connectivity and have the max speed per device set to 2mbps.

You can toss as much of the fancy 4G equipment on a tower as you want but if the back-haul capacity isn't there then it's still gonna be slow. Just my two cents.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] worker1:
Go into about phone and look for network. Mine is usually connected to hspa and I'm betting that's what yours is also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well 4G = 3G.

4G is the same technology just faster. Thats like my cable modem. It was 1.5mpbs when I first got it. Then 5mpbs. Then 10. Then 20. 30. Now 50mpbs. Nothing changed on my end.

My Nexus One would display 3G until I would pull data, then flip to H. But it wouldn't show 4G all the time (nor would it support faster speeds). I think they are trying to get rid of the 3G because 3G and 4G are basically the same.

People don't want to buy into the 4G service only to have the phone say 3G all the time.

And from my understanding the phone would display 3G. I never seen it but i'm in a 4G area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strikerx312:
sooo then whats HSDPA considered?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
HSDPA is an evolved version of HSPA. It allows speeds of 3.6, 7.2, and 14.4Mbis/s. Sometimes called 3.5g

HSPA+ offers speeds up to 42Mbits/s. This is what T-Mobile is claiming as 4g

BOTH are based on the same 3g technology.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
HSPA+ isn't exactly the same technology and if you're getting 50mbps service through Comcast, either you just got the service or you did change your modem out recently. DOCSIS 2 wouldn't support that speed, you'd need a DOCSIS 3 modem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strikerx312:
ahh i get ya...that always confused me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrZoth:
I live 150 miles from the closest hspa+ signal. my g2x has said 4g since i first turned it on. I even showed it to the tmobile salesmen and they scratched their heads. never seen higher than 1.5 mbps on this thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
I don't care what TMO wants to call it, their network is a far cry from 4G. Not Even Verizon's LTE is considered true 4G by international standards (which require +100mb down) and I get 30-35mb down and 12-15mb up. On TMO network, I have yet to top 7mb.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
Well that's a whole other topic right? ;) Gizmodo, Engadget, etc have all discussed that no network is truly "4G". Recently tho I thought something changed where they lowered the requirement for what is considered 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
I've heard that as well, they lowered the spec to 10Mbps or so. Here's the first link I could find talking about it, but there are plenty more Link
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
at least wimax and lte will have the ability to reach those theoretical speeds in future revisions. HSPA is maxed out at 84Mb/s.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jononioo:
Post a screen shot of your settings showing "Mobile Network Type" being connected to "HSPA" and Not UMTS. My device has NEVER see seen "HSPA" only "UMTS".

In fact, someone/anyone please post a picture of this device being connected to HSPA and NOT UMTS! i am in a certified 4g network and my device has never seen more than 2.5mbs....

really t-mobile? really?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
4G just means 4th Generation. There is no official definition of what technically constitutes 4G.

This is what I get at home with a 4G icon and a reported UMTS connection.

T-Mo's 4G may not be as theoretically fast as LTE or whatever else, but the 6 ~12 Mbps down is as good as I can do with anything right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drukqsMORA:
Someone somewhere will always complain about something. This is by far that fastest phone I've had and T-Mobile is by far the best company. The problem is people are never satisfied with what they have or the speeds. Technology moves so fast but yet some how peoples expectations exceed that. T-Mobile will get to the speeds that people want but when that happens everyone will complain because you want the next best thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
my phone is always connected to hspa. however that's for my area. you cant expect the same speeds, signal, etc as other people have in different locations.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nexus14:
This man is correct. The same goes for the Nexus One (which cyanogen himself has noted) as well as the HD2 with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jononioo:
regp, what type of speeds are you seeing when you run speed test?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
depends on where I am. at home I only get 2-3 bars of signal and average 3-4Mb/s. elsewhere I've seen as high as 6Mb/s. this also varies depending on what time of day I rum the test. here at work its 9:13am and I score about 3Mb/s. earlier in the morning at 4am in the exact same spot I scored 5.4Mb/s.

network speeds are dependent on a lot of variables. its not as simple as "I'm in an HSPA area there for my speed should be x"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jononioo:
well, of course its not that simple, but you should be within a certain range. And according to the tech support mgr i spoke with yesterday, that range should be between 6-12mb/s if you are connected to the "4g" HSPA.

If you are getting a max of 5.4 while being connected to "4g" HSPA, then you are getting screwed as well. B/c we all know network traffic at 4am is THROUGH THE ROOF!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I'm connected to hspa not hspa+. also, that range cant be guaranteed because of all the variables. I could be in a strong hspa+ area but If that area happens to be downtown on a weekend while a game is happening you're sleep WILL be slower because you're sharing bandwidth with so many other users.

numbers are almost always theoretical.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mumbojumbo01:
I am in South Florida... apparently we have the "4G" network in this area... but I have till day not passed any speed higher then 1.5 Mbps for download and speeds 8xx kbps for uploads.

Most of the time my speeds are in the <1Mbps for downloads and <635 kbps in the uploads.... I think its better for me to use the 2G network to atleast conserve battery and "faster" network then using the "4G".

Sent a twitter to TMO asking about this, ofcourse no reply.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencer88:
I hope you guys don't mind me visiting, I'm from the EVO forums :p

I've been trying to find speed-related threads, just to see some numbers. Something major is going on with Sprint's 3g network, and it has been for months. I can't get anything above 300 kb/s on a good day, and nobody at Sprint seems to know what's going on (at least everybody I've talked to)

I would be happy with anything over 1 mb/s at this point.

And forget their 4G network. I mean it's fast, yes, but it isn't even in my state! I need to drive to Charlotte which is 1.5 hours away or Atlanta and that's 3 hours away.

They are supposed to have this "Network Vision" thing happening, but I don't know when or how long it's going to take :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tr82691:
thats actually not true i live in LA County in California and I have gottten 4G, 3G, and 2G icons. so the 4G icon isnt being used for 4G and 3G. each connection has its own icon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
That is not true. Here's the definition of 4G:

In 2008, the ITU-R organization specified the IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
if that were true I would only have a 4g icon at work. yet I have it everywhere I go even in Chico, CA where they have not yet rolled out HSPA+ .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jawknee530:
I am constantly on an HSPA network because HSPA+ is not available in my area. My phone always shows a 4G icon when on HSPA and will occasionally show 2G and G when I drop in low signal areas. I live in a smaller town with not too much internet back haul so i've never gotten speeds greater than 2Mbps. This is consistent pretty much everywhere in my 60 square mile city of 80,000 people.

I just tried to attach screen shots showing me conencted to HSPA with 4G icon and my d/l speeds in the speedtest.net app (92ms ping, 1731kbps down, 1039kbps up) but apparently I don't have enough posts to link to outside images yet. Oh well, you guys will just have to take my word for now I guess.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Working fine over here... Los Angeles Metropolitan Area
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jawknee530:
I have noticed one thing annoying. When I search for networks under Network Operators in Wireless & network settings it only shows T-Mobile UMTS, T-Mobile GSM and ATT GSM. It's never shown T-Mobile HSPA regardless of where my location is or how many times I've searched. However under Status in About phone it only ever shows being connected to HSPA. Kind of annoying that the two menus show different networks. This is all stock ROM by the way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Because HSPA is build from UMTS which IS 3g.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jawknee530:
I was aware of this. I just think that it's a little annoying that it called the network two different things in two different menus even if it is technically correct.

A question this raises in my mind is if there was an HSPA+ network available in my area would it still be listed as UMTS under search in Network operators since HSPA+ is also built from UMTS? Would there be two separate networks listed for 3G and 4G (HSPA, HSPA+) if they were both available in an area or would they both be listed under UMTS?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
seeing as hspa+ is just a revision it would prolly still show up as umts. I never go into the network settings so it doesn't bother me lol

honestly (and I mean this in general not to anyone in specific) people make way too big of a deal of this whole 3g 4g business. anyone who did a small bit of research or even read the fine print on a t-mobile advertisement would know the deal with their network. furthmore.. people need to be less obsessed with sleep test. web browser, downloading apps, and streaming music doesn't require 6Mb/s.. lets just enjoy our phones and let all the technical stuff go..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
it's sad but it's the same speed i get at home lol at&t sucks ass. and now theyre going to cap my home internet of 250gb a month wtf is that?! **** THE AT&TMobile merger.
[Nook Color General] mglea7:
So here is my situation.

Have a rooted Nook Color that is still running the 1.0 barnes and noble, does not update.

I want to upgrade my android os but can not until I upgrade to 1.1, so it looks like I will have to reroot it after I upgrade to 1.1

Am I correct in thinking this? Any suggestions of how i should go about this,

1.Do i need to erase and reroot after updating

2. Which android os should i root it with after this

3. Will I lose all my apps if i do this

4. Will this affect my books that I have loaded on?

Any other suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Don't quite understand what you are trying to do here, but upgrading to 1.2 will get stock up to Froyo on the NC (ie an upgrade to Android). If you are running one of the other roms, then it doesn't matter what stock is.

As far as how to get there, yes, you need to wipe the NC, but you shouldn't lose any books actually, at lease I didn't. You will lose your apps, so use Titanium Backup first.

So, restore to stock, use the official B&N update, then go use Manual Nooter to root.

As some of you may know, Flash Player 10.3 is released and when you try to install it on the new build of GladiAtrix, it will say insufficient space or whatever. I'm assuming this has to do with the Hulu hack? Well just thought I'd warn you guys (:
[Atrix 4G General] Mafisometal:
i didn't get that problem, make sure that all your cache is wiped in the cwm menu, sometimes adding a rom will do that, sometimes a simple reset fixes it. - hopefully that helps.

I personally tried it and it worked fine, but i had an issue with my speeds for about 5 minutes. It would acts extremely sluggish and then would cut out. After it acted all fine, if any of u guys get that problem, let it pass and you should be fine.

flashed back to rogers stock, keeping bootloaders. - bottom buttons didnt work

flashed back to att stock with odin one click - buttons work again! booting fine into OS. can see and use files on SD card, but media scanning wouldnt complete until a few reboots..

odin flashed gingerbread bootloaders and talon 1.6 kernel.

booted into CWM3 and got the long list of things not mounted again.

does cwm leave anyting behind that doesnt get wiped anywhere?

flashed back to stock and awaiting advice....

it may have been:

using cwm2.5 to flash firefly3 may have re-mounted some areas left unmounted

or

all is good now.
