QUOTE(fablu @ Jun 7 2013, 02:07 PM) You're right, but with this new 'settings', I haven't seen 3G for a while now. It's just either 4GLTE or H  H+ is better than 3G, the option is good as it will connect your phone to what is available automatically, if you only set to 4G/3G, then you enter an area with only 2G, you will lose mobile network connection and you might not realize it because maybe the phone is in your pocket or in the bag.

It's just either 4GLTE or H  why would u want to see a 3G if your mobile can detect faster connection (H+ and 4G) haha mine at most only H+ and often at 3G maybe my simcard or my package does not have 4G plan or my area does not has 4G coverage.

I'm not really updated, but the last time I heard, only Maxis postpaid has 4G support.

Any plans with Maxis above 2GB plan will get you 4G coverage if the area supports it. The thing is, with this new settings, I may assumed that the network is on HSPA but in actual fact, it's in 3G! My new settings now shows everything but 3G. In fact, I put my settings on today as LTE/UMTS but i'm surprised to see E on my display

So, my point is, with my H now, i don't know if it's 3G or HSPA. At least with the old settings, it defines properly. I could be con now!

At least with the old settings, it defines properly. I could be con now! it will now show UMTS because UMTS is a Standard, E is the technology, if you are networking person then you should know this like i do. Whereas 3G and HSPA is still considered third generation technology thats why if the settings is HSPA it will show either 3G or H+ because these two is under 3rd gen technology (HSPA is just an improve tech from 3G). If it is showing H in your mobile it is HSPA if it is showing 3G it is 3G. You are not conned, you just misunderstand about this tech. Even in old setting, if it is showing H your settings still under 3G then how would you determine that, like now you were saying it H but dont know whether it is 3G or HSPA. old settings also give you 4g/3g/2g/gsm no hspa if i still remember correctly. main point, all my saying in first paragraph should clear your mind now This post has been edited by ego3nity: Jun 7 2013, 03:59 PM

Finally, a new thread. It's kinda hard to get rid of the QWERTY keyboard huh fellas.
Will get mine very soon, the only drawback is Maxis only offer 1GB and 5GB. Bugger.
Someone please share the bandwidth usage.

QUOTE(gohbkt @ Jun 7 2013, 10:20 AM) Bro, H+ is different... This 4G is real 4G signal from Maxis, if no 4G coverage it will back to either H+ or 3G! Yeah man but I have never seen 4G icon before on my device, maybe I am not in the area.

Had a bold 9780 + Playbook, switched to Nexus 4 due to my love of open source OS and the mod-ability of android. Will probably never let go of my nexus 4 (it is so awesome now) but I wish to have Q10 as my work/business/second phone...
I am jealous of my friend having one. Argh
