Mine has started doing that in the last couple of days too. I wondered if it had anything to do with HSDPA getting enabled or becoming available but I thought that it was supposed to be 3G then become U when you connected where as mine is just doing H instead of 3G which sounds like yours is doing the same thing. |

'H' is displayed when you have an HSDPA connection. This is good.

M.S Yeah HSDPA is quicker that 3G but i just didnt think that it would replace the 3G icon in my title bar...just happened randomly when i got into work (manchester) and as my signal at home is somewhat crap at home i wondered why it had happened! lol -------------------- Muay-Thai...The Art And Science Of Eight Limbs Keep Death Off The Road...Drive On The Pavement |

This happened to me also (T-mobile UK).
The H (with connection arrows) only used to display when I actually had an open connection. At other times, is was just the 3G. Now, I get the H, even when I don't have an active data connection. Interesting! |

It varies for me in different areas of the country. Odd!

I think T-mobile changed it. I get "H" at all times now, whereas before I only got H when it was actually communicating.

It varies between 3G an H depending on where i am in the North West (its as far as i venture
 ) and how many bars of signal i have! My data speed doesnt seem any quicker though!

T-mobile must have had a big HSDPA roll out. Strange they didn't announce this. |

I've been at the hospital a few times recently (our 3rd kid was born yesterday!) and get a strong H signal, but at home I get a patchy G
The thing that gets me is that it's so variable. I keep thinking "in this day and age" it should be more consistent (I don't know why that should be the case, but that's how I feel about it!) I'm even looking at indoor signal boosters, but at £350 and with WiFi I'm holding off for now |

This is something that has puzzled me for a long time; I have never had the elusive H but get 3G at home although when I run my laptop through my phone I am getting 1.0 to 1.4 Meg, but still no H showing.
More concerning to me is at work I use to get 3G, around the 1 meg speed, but the cell apparently got struck by lightening, set on fire or something, and now I don’t even get GPRS, which is a pain as its at work I use my phone as a modem most, its been down for 3 months and t-mobile still cant give me an idea as to how much longer it will be. It would be nice to see the H but it would be nicer to get 3G at work. |

I travel the country and switch between 3G and H normal H in big cities. However I doubt I will actually be getting H as I am on T Mobile Pay as You Go . And sign up for the £2.50 5 days unlimited web n walk. as far as I know you have to be a pay monthly customer to get HSDPA. Has this changed? |

Hi folks,
My Tytn II states 3g most times then other times 3g+ Is the 3g+ the same as HSDPA ? Edit: Sorry forgot to add I'm on Vodafone UK This post has been edited by modinside: Jun 30 2008, 15:55 |
