[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Went from first LTE phone with no one on the network to T-Mobile HSPA+, has not been a big deal at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integramodder:
Not having the luck that some of you guys are having.

I have a ****berry that has H+. Took the SIM out and popped it into the GN4. No connection. Rebooted, connection came up fine. Calls, SMS, and data (gmail, web, apps, etc) all work fine. However, speedtest will not connect to do a speed test stating "network communication issues"

I went into the network selection and it shows two AT&T networks. Connecting to the upper one works fine, connecting to the lower one does not work.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I'm in the Chicago area and at&t's LTE is very inconsistent with speeds, so going to hspa+ isn't a huge deal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolvd:
I really don't think it is something anyone can answer for you since it depends so much on your area. It sucks there is no easy way to test every carriers reception in your area.

I personally just swapped from my GN on Verizon, in the Phoenix area (ie not the middle of nowhere). Granted outside, I'd sometimes see 14M+, but indoors, the GN would do like 1-3M down, or constantly be switching to 3G or just randomly losing its signal. Now granted, part (or most) of that could have been the radio's in the GN and not Verizon's network, but so far my N4 on T-Mobile is doing a constant 6-12M everywhere. I'm pretty satisfied so far.

I have a ipad 3 lte iphone 5 lte, and yes i can feel the difference, i get 40 to 50 mbps on lte... I might get 15 mbps on my Nexus 4 on dc-hspa+... Which is not that bad... Ill live with it, it's more than enough for streaming hd or whatever the hell you wanna do wirelessly.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynnek63:
First I must say I have never had 4G LTE so I can't speak to the differences between the two technologies. I have AT&T 4G (3.5G) and have been trying the T-Mobile $30 4G prepaid plan. Both plans seem to offer me similar speeds, ranging between 6Mbps to 12Mbps and that is fine for me. The T-mobile plan seems to have more latency issues. But anyway, I don't really see what the big deal with LTE is. I mean, yeah, I can brag and say i get 70+Mbps, but doesn't that mean you will hit the limits on the "unlimited" plans faster and be throttled down? I mean really, I don't plan on downloading massive files, doing bit torrent or file sharing, I save that for home. The speeds I get now are fine for streaming Netflix and music and even Skype. So, when I was considering the Nexus 4G, the lack of LTE was not an issue for me at all. Love my Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integramodder:
What are you doing other than selecting LTE from the phone info screen to get it to connect?

If I switch to LTE and reboot it boots as WCDMA as discussed here. I've tried all the usual options such as airplane mode etc to get it. The only thing I'm left with is thinking that my SIM may not support LTE as ATT like to give out an LTE SIM, but not sure if this is really needed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan03:
In Chicago AT&T is the worst possible carrier you can be on. Their LTE is only 5x5Mhz so it's already loaded and slow, and their HSPA has always been insanely slow. Your better bet is T-Mobile, or Verizon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynnek63:
The 4G I am referring to from AT&T and T-mobile is HSPA+ and not true 4G LTE. Some refer to it as 3.5G. And it suits my needs fine. I am not doing anything in the phone settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant22000:
I came from VZW LTE to Straight Talk AT&T HSPA+ and I can say that I'm actually much happier. The LTE is lightning fast no doubt, but it sucked my batteries down too fast on my phone for it be of any use. I've had 3 different LTE phones and all of them were battery suckers. HSPA+ seems to be much more effecient.

With all that said, I'll take the reduction in speed to get significantly better battery life. No more carrying around a charger all day for me! BTW, HSPA+ is more than plenty to stream HD content and that will please the majority of people.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UZ7:
It would mostly depend on your area. On my Skyrocket as fast as LTE blasting through bandwidth is as fast as it drains the battery. On my N4 I can browse, load the pages pretty fine. Granted LTE will have better ping and/or bandwidth in a congested area but for the things I use: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tapatalk, Flipboard, Pandora, Google Talk/+/Hangout (video chat) etc.. those have all been loading fine and don't notice much of difference.

Now if I'll be downloading a large file then yeah thats where LTE will shine. One day my CM10 build was crapping up and I downloaded the next build in a few minutes and that saved me some time but as far as small instances as just browsing webpages I can do fine with HSPA+.

I'm in an area where I get about:

30/30 LTE

8/1 HSPA+
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0rtex:
Recently AT&T turned on LTE in my area and I can tell you there is a noticeable difference on my s3. Using just HSPA+ I pretty much top out at 5-6Mbps but speed tests on LTE see incredible! I can usually get around 22Mbps. For some things I do (Netflix, etc.) it is a noticeable difference and totally worth it.

Though it is great in my area I know it depends heavily on where you live. As more users tax the system I'm sure speeds well be affected even where I live.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
I came from a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and I can't really say it matters that much. This phone is so fast and so smooth that the loss of LTE is now just an afterthought. I was very worried about this though before I got my Nexus 4. I'm am so glad I made the jump and bought this phone. Trust me if u choose to not buy this phone cause of it not having LTE u are making a huge mistake.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaco81:
well, i had Sprint, and because they had slow 3G i went with Vz.... and loved LTE.... but since they are assholes and treat their customers like **** i went ahead and left them after 7 months... my exit was the Nexus 4 with TMo... i do not regret it one bit...

at my work, i had 3G ~100kb connection on sprint and also Vz... if i went outside i had 4G LTE... my nexus 4 gets H+ 7mb connection at the same location.

heres a screenshots of my GNEX and N4 compared... for real world use, its great! no regrets

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

oh yeah... one thing i have been noticing... and dont know is if its like that with TMo.... but i jump from 3G to H often.. like all the time... but not while using it... all this on areas of full bars

for example..i unlock phone and it says 3G.... when i start messing with it and click an app, it inmediately switches to H.... and stays there...

i dont know yet if the phone does it on purpose to conserve battery, but it doesnt bother me yet since it has yet to take long to switch or be bad reception.

Using t-mobile H+
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sher The Love:
I have to ask, are you actually in Chicago? I live close to the border of Wisconsin, work in the north suburbs, have family that I visit in the west suburbs and the actual city of Chicago and I've never had an issue with att. I see LTE speeds from about 5-30 Mbps and hspa+ is about 2-5 usually. I came from sprint, which was absolutely terrible. I've tried T-Mobile, which had more dead zones than att but similar speeds, and no experience with Verizon.

I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest, but what are you basing your comment on?
[Nexus 4 General] KidCarter93:
I wasn't going to upload this because I don't have the device and figured someone else would, but because I keep getting PMs about it I decided to pull it from the factory images on Google.

Thanks to neectron for making it into a flashable zip for us.

As always, if anything goes wrong I'm not responsible.

Make a full backup first (just to be safe)

1. Download Flashable Stock Kernel

2. Boot into recovery

3. Flash the kernel

4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache

5. Reboot

Flashable?
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
With fastboot after extraction; it's just a zipped boot.img
[Nexus 4 General] KidCarter93:
^This.

I can't make it as a flashable zip because I'm only on my phone. It's just so those who don't want to download the whole factory image can just get it through this.
[Nexus 4 General] KidCarter93:
Can someone test this flashable zip? Not sure if it'll work so do a backup first to be safe.

[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Flash it but my phone was stuck at the boot logo. Also running cold fusion ROM.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
cold fusion is CM based, that's probably why its not booting. I was on cold fusion and flashed matrix stock based by accident and same thing happened
[Nexus 4 General] KidCarter93:
What ROM and kernel are you running?
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
CM has a modified ram disk, any kernel that flashes a boot.img at this point will probably bork things. If you want to flash a kernel on a CM or CM based ROM make sure it's an "any kernel" format.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I went back to 100% stock:D
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I'm using cold fusion with matrix kernel and everything works fine
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
then you obviously flashed the correct version of matrix (CM version). the non CM version won't boot on CF
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I may be wrong but there's only one version of the matrix kernel ( different release 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0)
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
there's a CM and a stock version of each release
[Nexus 4 General] deepsunzhine:

Thanks OP; nice to know I can switch back to stock.
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
Hey, I read the above and it was suggested that if a kernel uses a modified ram disk then use an "any format" kernel. What does this mean.

I am on Franco and when OTA happens I want to revert back to stock so I can apply the OTA. I think Franco also uses its own ram disk..

[Nexus 4 General] thesebastian:
One question. I always flash the stock kernel using this command on fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

It's exactly the same thing? or it's better to use CWM with this .zip?
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Samething their both flashing getting the job done
[Nexus 4 General] -Asskicker-:
Can somebody get the Stock JOP40G kernel? (Or is it exactly the same?) Thank you! :)

[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Will this brick my device if i flash it? im currently running franco kernel r71
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
No, but franco does some changes to something msm script. Here are instruction to get back to stock kernel from Franco... Maybe in time for the 4.2.2 update which looks like it is coming out today :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37680652&postcount=11055
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Could you help me a little bit ? I don't really get the instructions :

"boot up , go to system/lib/hw delete power.msm8960.so and remove .bak from power.msm8960.so.bak so it looks like, power.msm8960.so fix the permissions to rw-r--r-- reboot and ur good u can do it your way but unnecessary"

I did just that , I rebooted but now I keep having Franco kernel , those steps were just to be able to flash the stock kernel that's on this thread ?
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
Are you sure you have the stock kernel and you flash that in? You should be able to check it by going into the about section...

Franco uses a custom built power.msm8960.so he kept a backup and renamed it .bak. So that is the original one.
[Nexus 4 General] wathefak:
i think it's power.msm8960.fkbak, at least from the latest franco's kernel
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
Yup your are right :)
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
I'm very confused , can you recap ? If I want to have the stock 4.2.1 kernel back if I'm using Franco kernel all I have to do is delete power.msm8960.so, then rename power.msm8960.so.fkbak to power.msm8960.so and reboot ? No need to flash anything ?
[Nexus 4 General] springy:
First you need to download the stock kernel

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1550949&d=1355107145

Then within this zip (you could flash it using custom recovery) extract the boot.IMG

Then where you have your fastboot.exe file on your PC, copy the boot.IMG file to that directory, then open up cmd.

Make sure you have USB debugging on and connect your device

Then type in the command in the URL I attached previously: fastboot flash boot boot.IMG.

Then follow the rest of the instruction mention in the above post where you reboot, remove the msm file, and then rename to .bak plus change permissions...

-----

You can flash it through recovery if you want as the above file I have included is a .zip, but I don't know if it will remove the msm file. Most people in franco's thread just use fastboot...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBookheimer:
Hi I'm kinda new into the development side of android coding, but I know about flashing and the other goodies. I would like to create a team to help me and our android community a revolutionary ROM for our device and then release to other developers to port to other devices. I know that I'm probably going to get ridiculed for posting this hear but I have a few cool ideas that I would like to share that I think would make the Android experience on our phone way cooler.

Here are some of the features that I want to add into the ROM that I want help developing that don't exist and that may already exist:

Add widgets and apps into the pull down menu bar and implement that to when the device is locked. Its kinda like the same idea as in 4.2 but I think can be made more better and efficient.

Various build.prop tweaks for better performance.

Removing the bloatware apps from the ROM for more system space and better battery life.

Automatically drop 4g into 3g after a certain amount of time when phone is not being heavily used for better battery life.

Add a widget to switch between 4g and 3g into the notification bar.

Implement the auto arrangement of apps and widgets on the home screen into ICS like jelly bean has if we build off a stock ICS base.

Implement the 4.2 camera app

Implement the 4.2 gallery app

Implement the 4.2 keyboard app

Implement the 4.2 Gmail app

Implement Google Now

Implement a fully working Google wallet app

Add options to switch betwewn a scrolling/non scrolling wallpaper.

Add options to switch between a 5x5/5x4/4x4 launcher.

Add an option when listening to music to go into airplane mode to save battery life.

Add various audio tweaks for enhanced audio.

Increase the auto sync delay over network connection for better battery life.

Implement a CPU/GPU app to overclock for better performance and underclock for better battery life.

Add better and customizable auto brightness settings.

Allow for custom boot images.

Add 4 way Reboot menu.

Add a brightness slider.

Implement an unlocked bootloader.

Implement holding the back button to kill an app.

Possibly implement the Sony Bravia Engine.

Implement nexus 4 notification sounds.

And possibly implement multiview for apps.

I know that some of these things already exists and I think some of the things that don't exist in our current ROMs can be created with some creative coding.

I think that if this project gets up and running we could build this off of a stock VZW JB ROM or we could build this off of a stock ICS ROM .

Let me know what you guys think about this maybe insane idea level of modification to a ROM and hopefully we can get something started.

First of all, completely wrong area to post this. This does not belong in development. I'll report the thread to get it moved.

A few people had to RMA the device. Good luck.
