So I have been Testing T-Mobile on my Nexus 4 on the $30 5GB Tmobile Prepaid Plan and live in Miami. I have yet to see anything over 15Mb/sec and I have tested in about every section I have visited in between 30 mins to the north/south/east and west. I use Network Signal Info and it clearly displays when I am using HSPA 21+ ( I dont think it can display 42+ from what I have seen/read on the net but could be wrong on this). Can anyone confirm that 42+ exists in Miami? Do I need to call T-Mobile for them to program something? Been looking for this answer for 3+weeks now so I am finally deciding to post due to the issues in the posts above.

TIA!
[Nexus 4 General] doubleatheman:
That app/widget does not display a difference between Hspa 21 and 42. I do know however that other people on the $30 plan have and can exceed 15mbps.
[Nexus 4 General] ooohhaaahh:
I believe Miami is supposed to have HSDPA 42

My Buddy got 22-26mbps midday on MDC Kendall campus with a one s.

I'm on straight talk, nothing above 14.x for me.
[Nexus 4 General] umrico:
Thanks for the specifics! I fly down the Turnpike towards 152 ST so I should be able to see that tower and I have done tests in that area not seeing that high. I supposed I can pull off and try today.

The max that I have been able to get in south florida is 14.92 just FYI. So Straight talk limits to 15?

Although this is a possibility, I think it is a remote one at least in my case. There seems to be a 15Mb barrier which I cannot break at any time of day or night, in any part of this "HSPA 42+" city. Doesn't seem right.

P.S. I passed by that tower near MDC Kendall Campus again this morning, I peaked at 14.37Mb.

Before, I would top out at 16mbit, but with the .27 radio, I can still see LTE and my DC-H+ speeds are in line with proper DC-H+.

Friend in Dallas with the .48 radio is experiencing the same 16mbit issue in Dallas, a widely-refarmed area.

So, after more fiddling the last day or 3, it turns out the .33 and .48 radios dork up DC-HSPA+ and only allow single carrier.

After fighting a massive incompatibility between CM10.1 RC2 and the .27 radio, I just backed off to the .27 radio and 4.2.1 stock rom, things are running smoothly so far.

So, gave the speedtest another shot again this morning on a re-farmed T-Mobile site with Nokia Siemens Network equipment.

This is over DC-H+, not LTE

Yeah. Hopefully the 4.2.1 stock rom and .27 radio holds out as stable.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Have you tried the new .54 radio?
[Nexus 4 General] ac21365:
I have not. I'm using my iPhone right now since both myself and the aforementioned friend with a N4 were having issues with texts getting logjammed, wanted to take my phone out of the equation since I was on the .27 radio. Once we get the text issue worked out, I'll experiment with the .54 with stock and CM roms. Will be this weekend though. I'm hopeful the .54 fixes the DC-H+ issue I noticed.

Nexus 4 - LTE unlocking

First of all you will have to unlock bootloader and have clockwork recovery.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Download 4.2.1 Nexus4 radio

Flash the file cwm-radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1.1700.33.zip from SD card

*#*#4636#*#*

into the phone numberpad,

Special menu

Select:* Lte/gsm auto (prl)

Select: refresh, then update. Close.

Using ES File Explorer, go into the settings and allow write permissions for root to root directory.

Goto /0/system/build.prop (find telephony.letOnCdmaDevice=0)

Add

Goto /0/system/etc/apn.conf.xml

Find and change your carrier APN to

ltemobile.internet

------------------------------------------

Finally goto settings, More...,Mobile Networks, Access Point Names

In the menu, New APN. Name --> Fido LTE Network (example)

SAVE

click on your 4G Toggle App you downloaded and select OK, then CANCEL

Select* Lte/gsm auto (prl)

exit and wait to see your 3g/H symbol turn to 4g!!!

To fix your gps since your google maps will not work with the 4G by default

In ES File Explorer find and open /0/system/etc/gps.conf

find and make changes so it looks like this:

#####################################

# Indoor Positioning Settings

#####################################

#0: QUIPC disabled, 1: QUIPC enabled, 2: forced QUIPC only

# LTE Positioning Profile Setting

#####################################

# 0: Enable RRLP on LTE(Default) 1: Enable

LPP_User_Plane on LTE

LPP_PROFILE=1

------------------------------------------------

The configuration above will fix everything!

WHEN YOU RESTART YOUR PHONE, you will have to manually set it to lte/gsm auto but if you don't reboot LTE will be there by default and toggle to 3g on calls.

Let me know if you have any other issues.

LTE on Nexus 4 Google / LG model in Canada

No hard feelings! Perhaps the models of your phones do not work with this setting. Perhaps enabling that wasn't needed,. Through toying around with the thing I was just trying to put up a method which worked for me. I am on the Fido Network currently connected with Rogers and have the Nexus 4 Google/LG Version. I got it fixed on top speeds with this method. Why wouldn't this work for the version model you have, I'm just curious..... Wouldn't you just change the apns-conf.xml file according to your provider?

Yeah, but isn't that lte what you have in the screenshot? People have reported issued with slow speeds in the US on H+ - so seeing your speed test was sort of a relief that there's nothing wrong with the .48 radio in terms of the download speed on H+.

Or at least that's what I seem to gather.

.33 Radio works with 4g LTE (canada)

Actually I'm not using the .48 radio, I'm using the .33 radio. My download speed was only at 9 Mbps -12 Mbps on 3g / HPSA+. After changing to the .33 radio, even my batterylife on the phone was better because it wasn't jumping back and forth from 3g/4g......In the screenshot is my speeds on LTE 4g, you are right....but when it was low you can see it was on 3g/hpsa only......Are the versions of your Nexus 4 phones differnent from the ones in canada? I heard that 4.2.2 was not meant for LTE and 4.2.1 radio (.33) was the one that fixed this....I haven't made any other mods since.....

So, I have had my Nexus4 on AT&T Straight Talk for a few months now and lost data yesterday. Straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and I have data again. So, I decided to do a SpeedTest for the first time. No matter where I drive, several times within visual site of a cell tower, I get an average of 1 Mbps download speed (Lowest value of 0.71 Mbps, highest value of 1.09 Mbps) and 0.1 Mbps upload speed. So, that is not normal? Do I have to do the test in a special way or is my phone defective? I am not trying to compare apples with oranges, but my wifi runs at an average 20Mbps.

I need to do more thorough testing with the different radios at a fixed position on a single site during the early morning.

It 'seemed' that the .48 radio had DC-H+ issues, but it could have been QoS due to time of day and my being on T-Mobile's $70 unlimited plan, which the ToS says will be given lower priority than 5/10gb legacy and the new fixed-limit plans.

[Nexus 4 General] dcarpenter85:
No problem! I can't take credit though, I got the APN from another thread on the Nexus 4 boards. I think it's safe to say that AT&T users are not getting the correct APN set up by default. The wap.cingular APN is broken in speed tests due to 'Server' being set to 'cingulargprs.com'. If you delete that entry and try the APN again, you should find that the speed tests will work but you won't get the kind of speeds you'll get from the 'phone' APN. If you came from an LTE phone and are provisioned for LTE on your data plan, you should also be able to use the 'pta' APN although you shouldn't see any difference in performance between 'pta' and 'phone'.
