Nexus 4 LTE option

[Qbancelli]

The fact is that Google and LG sent the phone to the FCC without a working LTE radio, only HSPA+.

WRONG!

LTE worked fine. They just didn't ask the FCC to test it and certify it.

It was a poor word choice I guess.

Ummmm some ROMs do change the baseband aka radio. And cm did include the changes.

Maybe on CDMA devices they changed the build.prop file but on the Nexus 4 they have not. I'm on the latest nightly build and still have to edit the file if I want to be able to enable LTE from the mobile networks menu or the quick settings panel.

Okay BRO, but the truth is the phone was not designed to work on LTE and you have to root and do heavy mods to get it to work. It's not just an option in any settings menu. So the average Joe who bought it isn't going to be able to get it operational. I don't root my phones so I can't get LTE on mine.

Yeah I know about that update but until you edit the build.prop file there's no option to add the LTE tile to the quick settings panel.

Besides everyone is finding out that using an LTE enabled baseband hoses auto focus on the camera.

Funny since I flashed all four radio versions tonight and tested the camera with each one. Only 48 had working auto focus.

Already ahead of you. I know about going into dialer menu and selecting LTE/GSM/CDMA (PRL auto) but that doesn't automatically give me LTE speeds on data. I tried doing it with speed test app. No change. Plus, changing that preferred network setting does not save. If I go back into dialer menu it reverts back to CDMA Preferred.

Lte on band 4 is NOT widespread by a long shot in the states. Its only here and there in 2 markets so ifvu can't pick it up its not there yet.

Here we go again!

I wish this LTE thing would just go away... once... and... for... ALL!

Could anyone else seeing T-mobile getting the Nexus 4 through the FCC for LTE support then offering their own custom flashable baseband?

I use a Verizon LTE MiFi so all my devices get LTE where ever I want to. Best part is my LTE has it's own battery.

I doubt it. By the time they progress far enough in their rollout of LTE, they'll be more interested in promoting the next generation of flagship models...

And besides, I highly doubt they'd want to devote the resources to get involved in this sort of thing.
