Have you checked to see if there are any problems in your area? http://status.o2.co.uk/

The signal in our area is fine.
The problem is that it either has no signal or it says I have H or G but the internet won't load or is very slow. It very rarely has 3G and when it does it flashes up for a few seconds then goes back to either H or G. It's worse where I work but the O2 site says coverage is better there than where i live. Also the phone signal is often poor (when my other half has full signal bars I have 1 or 2).
I will try cleaning the Sim Card and see if that works.
Thanks for your ideas.

Is it? I thought 3G was meant to be the super-duper bit?
My colleague who sits opposite me has an Iphone 5 (also on 02), and whereas his phone almost permanantly says he's on 3G, mine says H most of the time, and flicks in and out of 3G (much to his delight - damn apple owners :smileywink:)
If H is better than 3G, bragging rights may be swinging back towards Android!

Hi,
Maybe it would be worth getting your phone checked out either by the manufacturer {1st choice} or by 02.
This is how I understand the different icons in the status bar.
- G stands for GPRS and is the slowest standard, used is the GSM network (2G).
- E is an extension of GPRS, it is called EDG and it is correspondingly a little faster, but still uses the old GSM network (2G).
- 3G stands for UMTS and is the successor to the GSM network and faster.
- H and H+ are standing for HSPA and HSPA+. Both use the UMTS network, where H is faster than 3G and H+ is faster than H.
- 4G stands for LTE and is the fastest.

iPhones don't have the icon for H or H+, they are limited to GPRS (the small dot), EDGE shows as an 'E' and 3G, H and H+ all shown as "3G"

That's bizarre! Why wouldn't they have the correct icons available?

I believe due to the confusion and wants of the network Apple stick to e, 0 ,3G, 4G / Lte.
The iPhone 5 has the capability and when used on ee it would show as 4G.
Specs of the iPhone 5.
CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE** (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)
GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE** (Bands 1, 3, 5)
