Just got my Inspire ~4 days ago. How do I know if it's HSPA+ ready?

[Ni Dieu Ni Maitre]

I've been reading around various reviews and, apparently, HSPA+ had been disabled by AT&T and toward the end of April, AT&T released an update to enable it. How do I know if it is enabled on my Inspire? I don't recall having installed any updates (other than one from HTC), and when I try to check manually for AT&T updates, my phone tells me that the AT&T server is unavailable.

well technically it was HSUPA that was disabled which slowed down upload speeds. HSPA+ was supposedly enabled from the beginning but it also requires that your area has HSPA+.
an easy way would be check your software number.
settings>about phone>software information
if you have the HSUPA update your software number should be 1.84.502.11

Ah, in that case, it looks like I'm good to go

Thanks!

my phone has software 1.80.502.3. How do I get HSPA+? I got it two weeks ago, and I see H+ at the top, but Speed Test and About Phone say the network is HSDPA

You can manually check for the update by going into setting> Att software update > HTC WiFi update. Thanks should be able to get the update for you

thanks, but now I got a phone with the green robot and a triangle with an exclamation point. What does that mean? please don't tell me its bricked? The phone IS rooted, with a few programs like Asphalt gone, I did install custom roms 4 times and then uninstall them, please don't tell me this is bricked.

I pulled the battery and it did turn on, I'm trying again.

You may have a problem. I'm at work so I can't walk you through the solution, but go here - [GUIDE]Inspire 4G, Rooting, Flashing, Softbrick, Fixes, Sideloading.(4-23) - xda-developers - and read the General Fixes part. They offer solutions to apparent soft brick problems. Additionally, in the future, when you're posing a question, be sure to tell us upfront if you are rooted, as it makes a big difference in the response/recommendation you get back.

If you're still stuck, post back to this forum and one of the members will give you a hand at getting it straightened out.
