Correct. 10charOriginally Posted by cmstlist
I usually support government regulation, but It is unfortunate that the government over-regulated and killed the AT&T/ T-Mobile Merger
The best explanation of the pricing nutiness in the industry.
Why Sprint and T-Mo will always suck.
The only way to end the pricing insanity is to eliminate contracts and subsidies.
I want Wifi calling on AT&T.
If you text while driving, you're an idiot. End of story.

I'm confused, but to answer part of your question they need 3G because it has more capacity then EDGE and can deliver faster data speed to more people for everyday task.

Well, I'm talking about 1900 4g which's brings up 3G icon on my Galaxy s2. I have never had "3G" icon before. It's "E" or "4G". So with 3G the data doesn't work.
Sorry for the confusion.

If it is set up the right way it should work, 3G should be the same as 4G if your still on the tmobile network. It might be a little flaky but it will improve just like a normal network expansion.
im still gonna
3G is the PCS/CLR band on T-Mobile Samsung phones. On HTC phones, any HSPA is 4G.

Coverage will expand to 100 million LTE pops for the first half of 2013, with the second half of 2013 expanding to 200 million POPs covered. Release 10 LTE (2×10, 2×20) will be better performing than all other competitors.

I think they are doing some tests because I have 3G only occasionally. But yesterday the phone was on 3G trough the most of the day.

You need to run some speedtests and check the service mode and verify that it's T-Mobile PCS.
Get in to service mode with *#0011#

On almost all android phones now, "3g" means no data is transferring. "H" means that data is actually transferring. It seems that on some phones the "H" was replaced with "4g", but in all cases, the "idle" state for 3g/umts/hspa+ is simply listed as "3g".
You can witness this in any Android phone's settings menu -> phone status page. The "Mobile Network Type" box will say what you're connected to. If you're not transferring any data, then it'll just say "UMTS". When you're transferring data, it'll say "HSDPA" or "HSPAP".
Notice the "3g" in the status bar and "UMTS" for network type, while the "H" in the status bar corresponds to the "HSPAP" for network type.
Either way, they're all just png images dependent on how the ROM itself wants to represent the network. The 1KB image file has no effect on the network, and should not be taken as any form of definitive indicator of ANYTHING other than you being connected to T-Mobile's UMTS network.
Go Sun Devils!
In your case with the Galaxy Nexus, yes "3G" means it's just idle on UMTS, but any branded T-Mobile phone will still show "4G" in this state as long as it's connected to AWS, usually Samsung's that are T-Mobile branded will show "4G" for any type of AWS connection and "3G" for PCS/Cellular umts/hspa, although my Amaze will still show "4G" even if i'm on 850 or 1900MHz with an AT&T sim.On almost all android phones now, "3g" means no data is transferring.

Do you or anyone else know how to get into the service menu for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm interested to see if the phone is actually connected to TMobile PCS or not.
I have a blue tooth
The Galaxy Nexus has no such menu that would indicate which band you're using.
