Hmm not sure what Sun speeds are in Rockwell, but I'm sure it should reach at least 1 Mbps. I can't really help you regarding settings though. I just use a mobile router with Sun's broadband postpaid plan and I can get speeds anywhere from 0.1 Mbps to 5 Mbps.
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
I saw it :) I gave mine 2-3 days before deciding to sell it..

not as bulky as the ballistic case (which I prefer to use over the rearth belive it or not).

I don't like the button feedback and wet spot effect with a back sp. I don't want to remove the back sp...
[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
Nope, got Smart working on my N4 and Globe on an iPhone. Your settings are correct for Sun prepaid, but maybe they haven't activated data services yet? For the other two carriers you'd usually receive an SMS that GRPS/MMS is already activated. I suggest getting a Smart SIM; their signal is more reliable anyway based on my experience.
[Nexus 4 General] sspyed:
Yeah I got a msg from 2300 notifying me that "GPRS is now active" on my device but it's mind-numbingly slow, haha. Thanks for the help chums will definitely try out Smart for 3G
[Nexus 4 General] Albert586:
I'm wondering how much it will cost here. Gnex cost about the same as the Nexus 4 16gb so should cost list 17 to 18k right?
[Nexus 4 General] sspyed:
For future reference: To anybody having difficulty with Sun 3G--before ripping your hair out in frustration try the following in Settings:

1. Turning off Mobile Data

2. Go into Wireless & Networks>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators

3. Let it search and then choose Sun

4. Go into Wireless & Networks>More>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

5. Click Reset to default

6. Turn on Mobile Data and you should be set (that is, if you're going through what I just did :p )

It turned out pretty simple after all and for what its worth, Sun's 3G isn't so bad in terms of speed. Much thanks Dancedream, SonicFly. Now my brother will actually be happy to get this phone, haha. But I will keep Smart in mind any time Sun gets slow

Did a quick search & I see some brand new & unlocked GSM GNex's on sulit.com.ph for 15Gs. Check there for a good deal in your area ;)

Has anyone tried to get LTE on the nexus 4 to work with Smart LTE?
[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
Nexus 4 only has band 4, SMART LTE uses bands 1, 3, and 5. It won't work.
[Nexus 4 General] mundixx:
Thanks. Any idea what band Globe uses?

Sent from my AOSPA Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
Globe LTE uses band 3.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I'm not sure why N4 uses only Band4 but it was removed with the 4.2.2 update. The radio binaries have been changed so when you downgrade it re-activates Band4 LTE. I guess my presumption is if someone is able to hack the radio binary files it may be able to activate Band 1,3 and 5 as well.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Hmm. I have an Idea. What about getting the Optimus G radio and flashing it to the N4. Will that activate LTE band 1,3,and 5?
[Nexus 4 General] mundixx:
Aren't the bands supposedly hardware related?

Tapatalked from my AOSPA Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
If its hardware related then why does the optimus G support nine band LTE ? They use the same LTE chip and radio. If its hardware based then why did the LTE support stop when 4.2.2 update came out? Those are the questions that should be answered.
[Nexus 4 General] wtfshouldidonow:
As far as I know, our nexus 4 only HAS a slot for the signal amplifier to utilize lte but we DON'T, on the other hand, the optimus g has a signal amplifier supplied and put into that slot for it to utilize the s4 pro's compatibility with lte. Correct me if I'm wrong though :)
[Nexus 4 General] digitallysick:
Supposedly the Nexus 4 has a Qualcomm WTR1605L LTE chip

http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/qualcomm-wtr1605l/

7 Band which should be similar to the Optimus G?

Flash the optimus G radio?
[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
Maybe you could try? I'd do it if I had LG warranty but unfortunately I got my unit from the US.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Hardware wise I don't see any major difference. I think its just software that is causing the LTE not to work.

Just got my postpaid plan from Globe. Unlimited surfing 999 and I am so impressed with the speed. I'm in Cebu. I set the radio to WCDMA Only so I can get constant HSPA+ signal. In a not so busy day, I get up to 7 Mbps download. Wohooo.

[Nexus 4 General] itenos:
I was skeptic in the beginning because logically talking it makes no sense to "worsen" the communication between phone and radio by downgrading without changing the modem too.

So I made the test and speed became much slower after changing the RIL, as expected. With 4.2.2 I had a lucky download speed of 1.5 MBit /s (usually this rarely happens here in Bohol) and after the downgrade it went to only 0.3 MBit /s...

Last night though I did you switch off my phone without changing the RIL back to 4.2.2 and this morning I had a download speed of 5.7 MBit /s with an upload of 1.8 MBit /s.

I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THOSE SPEEDS HERE BEFORE!

I don't know if smart upgraded their network here in Bohol over night but if not, thanks a lot to the original poster for this finding

Regarding the color issue. The mkost effective solution is to root and flash a custom rom (aospa) or a kernel that calibrates the colors. Trust me its made my n4 almost up to par with an htc one x

First question: are you rooted with a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TeamWin's TWRP? If you are give this a read & if not, here is your first step ;)

EDIT: To the guys who were helping me with my struggle with SUN internet a week or so back, just want to let you know the easiest solution is to switch to a Smart SIM, haha. SUN's speeds are pathetic in comparison to Smart's.

Just about to fly back to JFK International. This was an interesting visit--the Filipino people are really polite & best of all the beer is dirt cheap around here. Adios
[Nexus 4 General] Misledz:
Yeah never EVER use sun. Although smart had bought over sun I was hoping to make the switch to smart hoping they would have some sort of free smart to sun. Unfortunately nope. I paid 250 for a weeks worth of net on sun and I regret it got edge for 6 days and on the last 3 hrs before it expired, hsdpa. What the heck. Normally installing the franco app he doesn't need to root. Downloading it and flashing it via CWM should be good enough. But yes rooting makes the world go round :)

PS: To the person asking for load be it a real girl or not. It's somewhat discouraging and pathetic, and would probably have that post removed, the one with the number of course.

[Nexus 4 General] euchron:
Exactly my reason why i went with globe even with all the praises im hearing with smart's service. How does your battery fare while using your phone as hotspot? My officemate advised me to use a wifi device cuz it drains his iphone5 fast while using it as hotspot.

[Nexus 4 General] Misledz:
They normally have their FUP considering your data plan choice, if you're prepaid their cap is something close to 800MB like globe, daily. But if you're postpaid their data cap is a bit lenient I suppose. Honestly I'm so tempted to use my globe for 3G but Google had screwed up the wifi and 3G drivers for the n4 in the last update that we would have to wait for KLP for some power optimizations

Actually I bought my SIM out on the street in front of my hotel in one of those lil wood store things I forget what they're called. They called me "Kano" for some reason because I'm Caucasian--point is I'm definitely prepaid. Activated SIM and did the UNLI 50 deal for 24hours unlimited & man I know I exceeded 800mb before that was up, haha.

[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
It's normal. It does get pretty hot. The glass back doesn't help the issue as well. Also considering we live in a tropical country doesn't help either.

I've been using a custom kernel so I can undervolt/underclock the CPU a bit. It helps to keep the CPU cooler than the stock kernel does.
[Nexus 4 General] scampupy:
RMA - Return merchandise authorization, A return merchandise authorization (RMA) or return goods authorization (RGA) is the process of having a product repaired or replaced in order to receive a refund or credit for another product from the same retailer or corporation within the product's warranty period. The RMA process and the issuance of an RMA is a key gatekeeping moment in the reverse logistics cycle. This term is often used in the electronics industry as a part of service agreements, according to which the customer returns the product back to the company and gets a new or repaired product back, generally with an additional warranty on the returned product.

But it is "uncomfortably hot" I don't want to use custom kernel because I want it to be fixed as stock so After it is cool in stock I can make it cooler with the custom kernel...

Do you check the temperature of your nexus 4?

Absolutely. Get Smart.
[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
I don't check the temperatures since I don't have any issues anymore. I know it gets hotter than say iPhone but I'm not worried about it. The fact that I has a quadcore processor it will get hot specially on stock kernel. Just touching the screen to swipe will ramp the processor to 1026MHz by default. If it tends to get way to hot, it ramps the processor down as a failsafe afaik.

Tumpak! Otherwise known as thermal throttling. It's useful during normal usage to preserve battery life but will make you pull your hair after playing CPU intensive games after some time, as you'll notice the game get laggier and stutter a lot as the phone forces the CPU to slow down in order to cool down.
