So i have a problem. Whenever i use 3G on my S9 Plus. It doesnt stay at 3G.it keeps changing between 3G and H+ every few seconds. I am pretty sure it wasnt like this before. I have tried to add new APN but it still changes nonstop.

Is anyone experiencing this too or is it just me? I am using the Exynos version of the S9 Plus.

*UPDATE*
the provider is causing this problem. And they are aware of it. So guys please stop telling me 3G/H/H+ is the same. Okay they might be almost the same but for the signal to change EVERY FEW SECONDS is not normal. Was not like this on my Note 8.

Aggressive WiFi switching. Leave it off.

This is normal. H is just a bit faster than 3G.
So H is like 3.5G and H+ is 3.7G.

Erm... Turns out the operator is being crappy and yeah its because of operator. Wasnt like this on my Note 8.and i tried the same sim on my Mi8 and IPX and its the same... Always changing.
 
Lucianus_Luciferus is right. It's normal and depends on mobile signal strength. Nothing to worry about.

3G and H+ (HSPA+) are both classified as "3G" and, in fact, HSPA+ is the upper echelon within the 3G technology spectrum. UMTS is the slower tier.

In other words, you have nothing to worry about.

No no. It worries because it keeps changing. Was not like this before. And as i have stated above. The provider said they were having problems. Not the phone. A phone should not be always changing from 3G to H+ every few seconds back and forth.

My 3G and H+ has the same signal strength. And the provider i am using is aware of this problem. If it changes once in a while its not a problem. But if it changes every few seconds back and forth it is a problem.
