Help Annoying 3G symbol problem

[chrisnewton]

Hi all

I have an annoying problem with my sensation, well i say annoying its more frustrating.

I noticed when i look at my phone the 3G symbol is next to the upload and download arrows, when i click on a web page it pauses for about 5-10 seconds and then changes to a H symbol and away it goes.

I understand what it all means that H stands for HSDPA and its faster etc.

The problem is this, my wife had a HTC wildfire and my Mate has a HTC Desire and were all on the three network, so tonight when we were ll together mine was the only phone showing the 3G symbol both of theirs was showing the H constantly and was quicker of the mark when we compared speeds on the net.

anyone any ideas why i have the 3G symbol showing when the other 2 on the same network have the H symbol?

Thanks all

Chris

Just a quiick update, i have restarted my sensation by holding down the button etc and since then its had a constant H symbol. Can this be a fault of the phone do you think? does anyone else get the 3g symbol on there phone?
Thanks again
Chris

I was wondering about this myself when I first got the Sensation and thought it was a fault with the phone. My previous HTC always had a H symbol.

I believe it will only switch to H when it needs to. eg. web browsing, streaming, transfering data etc.

You can test it when it's on 3G and open your web browser and you will notice it will auto switch to H. I tried a few times to verify that it wasn't a coincidence. In short, you have nothing to worry about.
