What does the letters E, H, G mean......

....on the screen when using the internet ?

I've noticed this today. It started on G, then turned to E and then H in different intervals. I thought is was a 3G phone. Mine is on o2.

I was wondering the same things...I think it may be 2g, 3g, edge network symbols..Well i tried..

• g = gprs
• e = edge
• 3g = 3g
• h = hsdpa

• g = gprs
• e = edge
• 3g = 3g
• h = hsdpa

Thanks

I've had the GPRS on when accessing the maps as a satellite icon appears, never had an icon showing 3G. However my work colleague uses an Ipod with Orange network and his shows the icon 3G .

What's the difference and why do android phone toggle networks?

GPRS is worst, HSDPA is best

diference is in the bandwith, phone switches network when the one with higher bandwith is available.

Yes, i was getting downloads of 3.50 Mbps the last time i ran a speedtest when my phone was displaying an "h".
