Go yourself of dude, I am not wining.

Google advertised the phone as Unlocked and Open, XDA and other such are advertisement for them too, if 4.2.1 had no LTE and there where no threads saying "Nexus has LTE" wo hooo, then no one will buy it.

this phone is 4 processor, ok 2 RAM, nothing special in few month there will be 3-4 phones with better hardware.

the thing was this is straight android OTA and modding openness, and boom first update contradicts the opennes.

Again I don;t care for FCC not my fault you live in America, this is completely unfare to consumers. If you wanna be a wimp, they sure I am wining.

Maybe you got a happy bonus, but I read thing before buying it, I new I can get LTE. I would have waited Galaxy 5/Note 3 or something else next year.

This phone just became no better then another android device, you don;t care Google just raped us it's your opinion, but I don;t appreciate updates that make my phone worth. Only Apple did that, where my phone would work worth then with previous IOS
[Nexus 4 General] s10shane:
I am on 4.2.2 and with the old radio from 4.2.1 callers couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear them. So I had to flash the new radio.
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
I had no such issue in fact I also upload the screens of the speed

Try radios of 4.2 the one end with .15 or .24

There r 2-3 radios for nexus 4 may be that could fix the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] lexcyn:
Calls work fine for me... maybe there is something else going on?
[Nexus 4 General] diablos991:
I have the same issue.

I came from stock rom + Franco kernel.

When updating I adb flashed the boot.img and system.IMG from jop40d before flashing the jop39d update.

What is your situation?
[Nexus 4 General] captmiddy:
While this may be your opinion, I bought the Nexus 4 last week with full knowledge of no LTE. I am coming from an LTE phone in fact and did it anyway. I had no illusion that I would have LTE. I knew some people had 'hacked' the phone to add LTE, and Google's update broke that hack. It is more likely they didn't go in directly trying to close LTE but instead they tried to fix something else and this was a casualty. But this isn't Google's fault, that hardware was never intended to work. If you bought it based on someone hacking the phone then you should be perfectly happy to run older radios. Google left it open enough for you to run the older package but don't expect Google to cater to the people hacking the phone to force hardware to work that was never intended to be used.

I can certainly respect the fact that you are upset, and you don't like it, but buying a phone based on someone's hack versus on actual product specs is asking for trouble.
[Nexus 4 General] odeccacccp:
It's not a hack, it was done here, you saying all this is a hack?

Yea I am upset, as this phone will be useless next year. Not sure why u bought it, but phones coming out this year will already have better hardware, I got it for the value and what it was presenting on all levels, and now major part of it got broken.

I am just upset that now first time in 3 years I've had android, they actual did make a limit with update, that I can;t use the full potential, I am upset that I got away from Apple for it, and now here we go. I am upset that I should have just got Samsung and new that I am not buying it for software but hardware.

Anyway hanks for understanding, sorry if I came offensive in my language towards you or anyone else.
[Nexus 4 General] captmiddy:
Depends on your definition of hack, but yes. It was hardware that Google had intentionally not utilized. The fact that you could get to it in the old radio was a mistake not a feature.

Why would my phone be worthless? Old 3G phones work happily on the 4G towers out there. In fact some 2G phones still work happily on the towers out there. Companies running the networks aren't going to just shut everyone down, doing that will drive them to other companies. Feature wise I am extremely happy with the Nexus 4 even without LTE. LTE was interesting for about 3 weeks when I got my Galaxy Note, then honestly my amount of time using ATT's data network just meant it wasn't that big a deal. Other people who use a lot of data will probably feel differently, but even with my 2G plan i only use about 500M on a busy month.

Again people have different needs, and if you 'need' LTE speeds for the work you do on your phone, it was probably in your best interest to buy a phone advertised by the seller as having LTE so that you could guarantee future compatibility with LTE networks.

The analogy I would put out there is the kid who walks to school every day and finds a hole in the fence that cuts 15 minutes off his walk to school. He uses this every day until the school finally notices the hole and patches it. This upsets him greatly but reality was it wasn't an intended path to the school, and exposed the school to other issues. No I don't consider us kids for wishing for the feature to be there, but it comes down to the same thing, we started to count on something that wasn't meant to be.
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
No lte for galaxy nexus in Canada, no more LTE for nexus 4

I just hope they put LTE on the new nexus thats not only restricted to verizon
[Nexus 4 General] lobrau:
I have been using 4.2.2 with the radio from 4.2.1 since last night and have not run into any issues at all. Calls work fine for me.:D
[Nexus 4 General] odeccacccp:
It's more of walking to school in the mad, and school promised to pave the pathway, but you been walikng there in boots in summer, but then school said no we will not pave it we will just let you walk in boots all year.

Dude everyone is moving to LTE, HSPA+ is old and not as poverfull, why donl;t u see that they scrude you on the phone. Anyway I think we just have different opinion, but still I stick with why are you even in LTE threads if you care so little about it? P.S. I have 10G data and I use it, and it's bnot a matter of selling the phone it's a principal that u get something knowwing it is caple and they will make it work, but they whent the easy way and stop it. Don;t u see they don;t care, Google will kae next phone so you spend more Money which will have LTE??

You clearly need to be using an Iphone.
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
Do it on your risk

OK so do this first go this link

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B76WZ1xWiSuNSkN0Q01tdjhWdDA/preview?pli=1

Flash in zip its a stock odex ROM than update it to 4.2.2 than install 4.2.1 radios every time factory reset , wipe cache partition and dalvik . this should solve the problem
[Nexus 4 General] yfan:
Bull. Google did not advertise it as LTE, and Google does not control what is posted in public forums about the phone. In fact, Google specifically stated at the time of release that it was an HSPA+ DC device, not an LTE device. That you jumped on the "LTE possible" bandwagon is your problem, not Google's. Google is not responsible for manipulations of the settings and hacks (yeah, they are hacks, and not all hacks are "bad").

Please ask someone what developers do (you know, as in XDA Developers). They HACK. It's not always a bad thing; it is often done for good purposes in the development community. Of course it was a hack, almost essentially *because* it was done here.

The phone does not become useless just because you can't manipulate the settings to give you LTE. It is still exactly as capable as advertised - in terms of data speeds with HSPA+ 42. I assure you HSPA+ will still be relevant next year. And the year after that. And the year after that.

And if you really want LTE, this phone will still have it, with custom ROMs, or this fix. So learn how to unlock the bootloader and possibly root, so you can take advantage of it.
[Nexus 4 General] odeccacccp:
Yea thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] tjex:
Running the older radio 0.33 with 4.2.2

No issues with SMS, or voice calls. LTE is working with no issues.

Hope that helps you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
Yfan is with T-Mobile, no wonder, u can't use lte anyways

If you were Canadian you'd be mad about this so its easy for you to say
[Nexus 4 General] Moritzr1:
a few n00b questions

Hi Guys, this is my first time posting on XDA but I have been doing some reading and have a quick question about getting LTE onto my Nexus. I live in Calgary (Canada) and use the telus network so I was one of the lucky few that was able to access LTE network. I would however like to update to future versions of android (4.2.2 and beyond) and retain that functionality. I have learned that by flashing the older .33 baseband in the radio partition (correct me if i'm wrong) then that functionality will return. To do this I obviously have to unlock my bootloader and therein lies my question. Do I need to perform a backup before I unlock it? I don't really have any files on there that I need to desperately hold on to, and most of those are in the cloud anyways. I would like to do a backup so I can keep my app data and settings. I found a guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351) which seems to do this. Now my real question is, should I update first then unlock the bootloader and then flash the image or should unlock and then update? Lastly, is the correct order for everything? Backup, update, unlock bootloader, flash radio, restore backup? Would this need to be done with every android update in the future? (I imagine so since the update would likely also include an update to the radio but I am unsure. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I hope some one can help a n00b out :)

hsic wakelock is fixed

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

neither Google nor LG ever promised to pave the way for you. do it yourself or live with it.

and you need to grow up either way
[Nexus 4 General] Addsome:
Unlock bootloader first. That will stay unlocked no matter what you do unless lock it again. Then if you want you could root it, get Titanium backup, use that, update, restore with titanium backup, then root again and your done, oh and flash radio at the end. Thats what I did.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Does this mean a modified radio can unlock LTE band 3?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Addsome:
Ya just flash the 4.2.1 radio to 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 General] magictwins:
you mean band 4?

yes
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I was hoping that a modified radio file can unlock band 4
[Nexus 4 General] Moritzr1:
Thanks for the help guys. I have completed the update and unlocked the bootloader (had some trouble with installing the drivers but eventually found a fix) . I will also check out titanium backup for when I want to root and if I ever flash a rom. For now I am happy with stock but I would like to flash the old baseband to get my lte back. This is done with adb commands I think. Does anyone have a link to a thread with instructions for flashing? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] magictwins:
Just flash the old radio image should work
[Nexus 4 General] User1110:
If Google wanted to take away an important feature the Nexus 4, marketed or not, they could have least added something in the new update that made it worth giving up the option of having LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] magictwins:
Google is not bargaining with any of you. They took out a feature that's never officially supported. Your option is to upgrade and surrender that feature or stay with the old version .
[Nexus 4 General] Rakeesh_j:
I just updated to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 by flashing bootloader, boot, and system. I omitted radio, userdata, and recovery. With this configuration, I can call somebody but I can't hear them. In fact, I can't even hear the line ringing when I initiate a call.

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

Problem went away by flashing the latest radio. (Wonder if flashing latest and then flashing earlier would allow this to work? not going to bother for now as I don't have any need for LTE.)
[Nexus 4 General] androidjack5:
Same with radios. .33 &. .27.
[Nexus 4 General] Legaleye3000:
Quick question that is somewhat related...

Just bought my wife a N4 (I love mine). Out of the box, the earpiece doesn't work, you have to use bluetooth or speaker. I read about people who flashed the older radio and the earpiece isn't working. Could manually upgrading to 4.2.2. (while stock) fix the issue? I bought from someone on eBay who said the phone was used for "a day"... I know I know... Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] magicriggs:
I get 20 down consistently with T-Mobile. And that is no LTE.

And you are right, I would be mad if I was Canadian... But not because of LTE... Merica!

Waah... your crying about a phone that cost half as much as a note 2 or S3 and it doesn't have LTE... if you want LTE then fork out the cash and buy one, but remember the N4 only cost half as much as the other phones. Not as easy to complain when someone puts it in perspective ;)
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
Your phone is fked.
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
Guys im using .24 and having no issue.bars always full and connected to data.

It should not happen cuz we all have same phone and model.so something is wrong in flashing.
[Nexus 4 General] Telanis:
That's such BS. They're too lazy to get it recertified by the FCC and/or want to charge people more to give them 4G. The software could easily be updated to support LTE fully just like the Optimus G.
[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
so let me get this straight... (keep in mind I have zero experience)

all I have to do after updating to 4.2.2 is to unlock my bootloader, put the radio file on my phone, and flash it with fastboot?
[Nexus 4 General] Telanis:
The file should be on your computer, fastboot will flash it from there. You can cd to the directory or just put in the path, Windows example:

fastboot flash radio C:\path\to\radio.img
[Nexus 4 General] benetton:
technically yes, but you don't have to put the radio file on the phone, it is transferred to the phone with fastboot
[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
I have a wrong perception of what fastboot is...

I thought fastboot where you hold the power and vol down while booting, and then selecting the file from there (I saw a brief youtube video explaining it to do it that way?)
[Nexus 4 General] Telanis:
That is recovery mode. Fastboot is a PC-side tool, part of the Android SDK tools. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

(Fastboot mode is similar to the Odin "download mode" on Samsung devices.)
[Nexus 4 General] biggyk:
So with a different radio, does that mean OTA doesnt work anymore and have to manual install rom with recovery when I new android version is out? Will installing a new version say 4.2.3 put a new radio on at that time too? btw I tried searching for all this. I found howstos but the little details was hard to find.
[Nexus 4 General] AshtonTS:
No it couldn't. The phone doesn't have the hardware to support all the bands.
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
Dont worry. you will get ota update.
[Nexus 4 General] Moritzr1:
Hi! I just to confirm something with you guys. I have the bootloader unlocked, I have downloaded the radio image I want to flash and I have gotten adb tools/ fastboot to work. Basically there is only the flashing step left. Could someone tell me exactly what I have to do now? I know I entire the command flash and then put the path to my radio image but is there anything else? This might seem super simple for you guys but im still learning. Plus, here in Calgary LTE more than doubles the speed I get so I would like it back. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
Yo so comlicated . just flash cwm recovery and flash in it simple.

Or connect your phone to PC make sure its in USB bebug and put in boot loader mode and write

fastboot flash radio name.img
[Nexus 4 General] TECK:
That is not correct. The proper way:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.33.img

And that is only if you have the bootloader unlocked, or else you will to unlock it before you run the commands.
[Nexus 4 General] juicyjones:
It's true. And here in the US, when T-Mobile lights up its LTE network later this year, it's going to require back-end provisioning on my account anyway so there's no point in using an outdated modem just on the off chance they don't detect that I am using networking I'm not authorized to.
[Nexus 4 General] eagleeyetom:
Thread cleaned. Name calling is forbidden. Think twice or thrice before posting.
[Nexus 4 General] evonc:
Finally tested out the AOKP feb15th unofficial build and I can report LTE working perfectly with .27 radio on Rogers. None of the sensors are broken and all the phonecalls I've made are normal with no audio issues.

If you're having issues with .33 try .27 to see if it may fix your problems.
[Nexus 4 General] prabjeetmaan:
Any one having gps issue on lte . cuz im having. I tried installing all the radios no luck can any help me out.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
No its not recovery mode it's the bootloader there is the option to go to recovery though..
[Nexus 4 General] Will of fire:
Would I be able to use lte on ATT?
[Nexus 4 General] TrenchKato:
Only in places where Att uses band 4. which are very few. Less than 15 if i recall correctly
[Nexus 4 General] Will of fire:
I'm in the bay area I'll check to see if we use it.
[Nexus 4 General] Zainiak:
I think he means that it can't support ALL the bands. which is true. it only supports band 4 LTE
[Nexus 4 General] whitetiger_0603:
All my other points still stand.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
I frankly don't get what your point is.

It is hardly news, that N4 (and every other nexus) is sort of a deal with devil. A product which is made by the competitor for a (potential) competitor.

Thus OEM marketing dudes made sure it doesn't threaten their own products which in N4 case is the LG Optimus G. This is why N4 came with most of the original LTE circuitry removed except those parts also needed for 3G/UMTS.

N4 is simply not designed to be mega-successful as far as LG is concerned.

The price of "no compromise nexus" would be an outright declaration of war between el goog and its OEMs (samsung, htc, lg, sony etc). Which el goog is (wisely) not ready to pay yet.

But who knows, it can happen in the not so distant future. Samsung is becoming overbearing, HTC seeks their salvation in microsoft, so preservation of status quo could turn to pointless affair. For those times they at least have a still somewhat functioning moto.
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
It sure feels like that, galaxy nexus wasn't 1.5 dual core, had a crappy camera, no gorilla glass, samsung had all the goodies to themselves

But I got a feeling about the next nexus, the x phone hopefully, and hopefully they make it the best phone and it's the be all end all phone
[Nexus 4 General] clockwork58:
Updated to 4.2.2 then flashed .33 radio image using Fastboot command.

Did I trial call and no issues or haven't come across any other issues yet and

stays with my LTE settings.
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
I can confirm that too.

I made a test call, sms, mms, and GPS lock and it works fine. However, when I enabled to LTE, I had no service...:crying::crying::crying:

Hurry and re-farm Nor Cal, T-Mobile!
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
Have you guys tried a wifi speed test? Downstream is severely throttled, which means a real fix might need the old wifi drivers... Which would break some of the patches google pushed out
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
When I speedtest my wifi, the needle would spike real high then drop steady low number. Is that what you're experiencing?
[Nexus 4 General] clockwork58:
Did you re-verify your APN settings? I had to reinput mine after the flash of the image file because unlocking bootloader and flashing radio.img = phone back to factory defaults.
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
I didn't have to re-enter anything. I just flashed the old radio and voila.

No issue with Nexus 4, Telus 4G. 4.2.2 , .33 radio.
[Nexus 4 General] hacktron:
LTE Tmoblie Nexus 4

I upgraded to 4.2.2 before knowing of the LTE loophole.

I then flashed the radio to .33. I noticed data works (unconfirmed with LTE b/c Los Angeles area its still limited to specific areas), but cannot hear during calls.

So I used Nexus Root Toolkit from wugfresh

flashed back to stock 4.2.1 and radio listed .33. Radio now works with data and can hear during calls.

Can go to secret testing menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* and can adjust network type.

I also changed APN settings to fast.tmobile.com as well as IPv4/IPv6 protocol, but still no confirmation of LTE only working in Los Angeles area for now.

Will update if LTE is confirmed in near future.
[Nexus 4 General] droidwrx:
Phone calls on T-Mobile work on 4.2.2 with the .33 baseband, provided you are running CyanogenMod. I don't have LTE in my area yet, but I can select it just fine.

Which setting do I use when I go to the phone info panel? I'm thinking LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)? And would I have to change the APN settings? If so, to what? I have T-Mobile.

I have this exact problem... My downstream on WiFi is now maxing at like 1.8 mbps when it was hitting 20 or so. Something about 4.2.2 and the 0.33 radio is not playing well with WiFi.

Anyone have a solution other than going back to 4.2.1? I'm gonna try the older radios and see what happens.

EDIT:

SOLUTION FOUND!

Install GetRil from the Play Store and manually download/install the RIL for 4.2.1

Instantly fixed my WiFi speeds without a reboot!

Now my N4 is perfect. 4.2.2 and LTE no issues.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running stock, rooted, with the Franco nightly kernel. Flashing .33 makes all phone calls unusable. Neither the mic or earpiece work.
[Nexus 4 General] Gorjira:
hey guys and gals, I have a question for everybody. How do I get the LTE/GSM Auto (PRL) settings to stick in "Phone Information?" Every time i exit out of it and go back it reverts back to the standard setting "WDCMA Preferred." Is it something to do with the APN? and no I'm not in a future LTE area, I wish i was... Thanks will be given in advanced for any answers.
[Nexus 4 General] cherrybombaz:
You have to be on the .33 radio. The newest .48 radio doesn't let you keep the lte/gsm setting.
[Nexus 4 General] pphi:
I found a way for LTE to stick on .48. I had to revert from the franco kernel to stock, then flash to .33. Switch to LTE/GSM(PRL) then flash to .48. LTE sticks!

Did you reboot after enabling LTE?
