So does the N4 not show H+?

So, does the Nexus 4 not show the H+ in the Notification bar on STOCK Android 4.2? Just wondering, because I liked that H+ on my Gnex.

Yes it does, in fact mine never even turns off, unless I'm on wifi, cause luckily they have it built out around here.

You don't see the "+". Just the "H".

I see the H but no +. I haven't seen above 20Mbps though, does that make a difference?

I too only see H, while my unlocked S2 used to show either H or H+ and even 3G at times.

Hmm, maybe it was a custom ROM thing on my Galaxy Nexus that would show H+...

The stock GNex does not show H+ either. You have to go into the "about phone" -> "status" and look for the connection being "HSPA:15" or "HSPAP".

Mine is showing HSPA 10 right now. What does that signify?

That you currently are on Hspa with no back haul improvements. Aka HSPA NO +

So is it the higher the number after HSPA the better? Highest being 42 I assume?

Currently yes, but according to Evolved HSPA - Wikipedia the highest number should eventually be "168"; 168 Megabits per second (Mbps) to the mobile device (downlink) and 22 Mbps from the mobile device (uplink).

I'd be spoiled with the 42, I'm thinking.

Maybe the next Nexus will be close to 100Mbps. I would much rather have that on T-Mobile than battery hogging LTE

I think they are the category. They definitely are not the actual speed, i.e. you won't see "HSPA:42"

I could easily be wrong though.
