3G, H & H+ Signal

[afgzee]

I have a HTC One on Three network in UK, but it never displays H+ where as my friend has a Samsung S4 also on Three and his always displays H+. Is there any reason for this? How do I activate this setting as its useful to know when im connecting to H or H+

As the screen shot shows im still getting good 3G speeds but not displaying H+

no one has an idea about this?

Does it ever say 4g?

Does it ever say 4g?

Nope as Three doesn't support 4G yet, but they're the only network in the UK which has wide availability of DC-HSDPA. My previous Nokia Lumia 820 always said H+ too so its not the network.

Go into dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* and see what you're connected to.

says HSDPA. is that what im looking for?

I have an s4 with ee and the 3g signal is terrible but when i go into settings and change it to use 3g and H -HSDPA it only uses 3g still. So I've just set my s4 to use H -HSDPA only and it's really fast now. Think I'll change it to lte once I'm in the city to get 4g. Pretty annoying but that's EE for you. :/

I don't know anything about that carrier (I'm in the US), but is it possible that different manufacturers just use a different icon to indicate what you're looking for? That is, 'H' on the HTC is the same as 'H+' on the Samsung and the Nokia?

That's right. It is dependant on the carrier. I am in 3 as well and it only shows H, but I still get really fast speeds. In fact the 3G speeds on 3 are faster than 4G with EE.

I'm with three and also only get H icon although use to get H+ on my Galaxy. The speeds are the same though and wow 27mb are you sat on the mobile mast haha, I get around 10mb and thought that was decent.

It's just a HTC One thing, they don;t show the H+ icon, I'm in India and while my friend's samsung shows H+ my phone is stuck on H. You have to go into "about" from settings and click "network" there you should see under signal saying HSPAP. ( im saying all this off the top of my head so don't expect me to be a 100% with the actual steps! but the way I said it you should get there with no issues..
