Because this thread has absolutely nothing to do with enabling LTE. This thread is about experiencing data dropouts, which is an issue that is happening not only with T-Mobile, but with other carriers as well.
[Nexus 4 General] lannister80:
I am 100% stock (except for root/unlock) and I get data drops. Only had the phone for 3 weeks, this issue SUCKS...
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
I sent in for a replacement phone.

I also upgraded to a REAL t moble account, not prepaid.

I will report back if this resolves my issues. (After 4 new sim cards as well...)
[Nexus 4 General] gharrrrrr:
I have used tmobile $30 prepaid for sometime now. With .27 and .33 radio on a couple different 4.2.2 ROMs and kernels with no issues. Where I live T-Mobile doesn't have great coverage but not horrible. Speeds still better then at&t but less coverage. I have yet to find any certain proof that .27 or .33 is better then one or the other. Still lurking and hoping someone can post some definitive results one way or other. Either way I'm using carbon with latest Franco nightlys on .33 and have had no audio or data drop issues. May do speed test, revert to .27, do same and see if any different.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Prepaid has nothing to do with anything.

I updated my radio drivers awhile ago and have no issues at all using paranoid..

Oh yeah... I use the T-Mobile 30 unlimited plan.. No prob..

Sent from my shiny new, scratch less Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 General] shook187:
What you actually mean by "upgraded" to a real account? Are prepay actually fake accounts?

So now you're paying more money for the same service. sucker
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
Actually,you can't roam on prepaid.

Seeing as I was paying $70 on prepaid.

Now I am on post paid, no contract for $70 month same plan, plus 500meg of hotspot which I didn't have before.

AND, I get my coporate discount of %15 so it's even cheaper then on prepaid.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Yes you can, I used to roam on at&t for voice & text. I've heard if you switch to an at&t APN you can roam on their data too (edge), but I never tried.
[Nexus 4 General] Warbuff:
Tmobile doesn't allow it
[Nexus 4 General] lazer155:
The only time I get drops with the latest radio and CM nightly build (+ latest motley kernel) is if I switch my data type around from 2g to 3g or 2g+3g with the quick toggle in the status bar drop down menu that CM provides. Typically it drops when going from 2g back to 3g. It comes back about 30 seconds later but it loses all bars for those 30 seconds.
[Nexus 4 General] alleyezondisromo:
T-Mobile prepaid only covers 70% of the full network
[Nexus 4 General] lazer155:
How? I thought it covered the entire network.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Hell no, it doesn't, if it did, it'd be in the terms of service for prepaid users. The only difference between postpaid and prepaid is that prepaid doesn't have roaming. Even then, postpaid customers get only 100MB allowance for roaming with T-Mobile postpaid. Give us a credible source where you heard this from.
[Nexus 4 General] 20degrees:
100mb? They only give me 50mb. :'(
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
I got the replacement today.

There is no difference. SAME signal loss and data drops.

.
[Nexus 4 General] dEris:
This happened to me when I lived at my old apartment. Since I moved, my data don't drop.

On post pay you also get a crapload of taxes on top of the $70. $70 ends up being almost $87 after uncle Sam sticks it to you.
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
Thats ok, I'll try it out this month with my %15 discount. If it's more, I'll just switch back.

There are no more contracts so no big deal to me.
[Nexus 4 General] simobile:
This doesn't help with the signal. The signal in the N4 just isn't that good. However I have fixed the ability to use 4.2.2 stock rom with .33 and lower radios. Check out the newest post on the LTE thread.

I do agree with your complaints about signal because my old G2 has rock solid signal with my current SIM and an adapter. Same area in my house but full bars on G2 vs signal all over the dam place on the N4. I personally think it's because of the inductive charging. I love the feature and use it but a coil of copper right by your antenna is a big no no.
[Nexus 4 General] begoss:
Is the issue the .33 radio with 4.2.2?

I recently had my Nexus 4 replaced by T-Mobile because of the dropped data connection issue. That first Nexus 4 I updated to 4.2.2 as soon as I got it.

My new Nexus 4 has no dropped data issues - it has the .33 radio, but I have left it on 4.2.1.

So it seems to me that the .33 radio isn't the problem itself as much as the combination of the .33 radio with 4.2.2.

Does that sound right?
[Nexus 4 General] scuzzbag87:
Anyone here in SoCal specifically in orange county? I've never had any signal problems but lately my signal has been dropping to no bars or even edge and this has never happened before. Anyone know if there upgrading the towers around here or what. I know it's not my phone cuz I also tested my wife's galaxy nexus and that one also has about 1-2 bars or even edge. Using the old radio and don't really want to change it. Also I have not flashed any roms or anything. Using stock rom.

Edit: yea I called tmobile and they said there upgrading the towers around here for the lte . The engineers are aware of it. Well I guess that's good now I might get some of that lte love
[Nexus 4 General] yuukimoonstar:
i did this with the .48 and my N4 keps changing from 3g to H+ every 10 seconds. how can i keep it in H+?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
You can't. That's just how it works.
[Nexus 4 General] yuukimoonstar:
i used to have the gnex on the same network and it was always in H+. so why is it different with the N4?
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Every phone nexus phone I've had on T-Mobile has idled on umts and when using data jumped to hspa.
[Nexus 4 General] fone_fanatic:
Long post, mostly rambling here.

Short version: going from H+ to 3G is NOT a data drop/signal loss. Make sure you're using the right APN.

Bonus: check out sensorly app for coverage maps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sensorly.viewer

There seems to be some confusion in this thread. Some are complaining that their "data drops" from h+ to 3g thinking it's an issue when it's not. That's how is supposed to work. Think of it as the radio going into sleep mode, when you're not using data it'll drop down to 3g/umts. When you start using data, it'll kick up to h+/hspa. The best way to see exactly what kind of network you're connected to is by going into settings->about phone->status and look at mobile network type.

Now I switched to T-Mobile from at&t about a month ago and have been noticing data drops/compete signal loss. I was told by T-Mobile that it's due to the current process of upgrading the towers to LTE. After they told me that I flashed .33 radio and would briefly see 4g then no signal and back to 3g & h+. After visiting Houston (which has T-Mobile LTE) and noticing the same thing I found out I had the wrong APN fast.tmobile.com. I changed it to fast.t-mobile.com (added the dash) and it would successfully stay on LTE.

As I'm seeing more of LTE in my city (Austin) I'm not getting as many data drops as before but notice them the most in my house and my parents. I think they're both in that grey area between towers.

I'll drop down to .27 radio and try out the LTE.tmobile.com APN and see if that helps at all.

Oh also I recommend checking out the Sensorly app for checking user reported coverage and even reporting your own. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sensorly.viewer
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
I cancelled t-mobile and went to att go phone .

After RMA'ing 2 phones, multiple simcards, swapping radios....

WHOA WHAT A FREAKING DIFFERENCE.

The phone stays in "H" mode all the time. No more 3g, to H delay.

Also, no more drop outs or signal loss, full signal and I drove 200 miles today as well.

The only thing that sucks, is I have to wait until the 21st to up my data. 1gig is not enough for me.

Problem fixed, it's the t-mobile network.
[Nexus 4 General] swagstr:
I concur. This was my experience.
[Nexus 4 General] Warbuff:
So what att plan you go for?
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
Right now, I went witht he 250min plan with $25 additional 1 gig of data just for this month, until the new att go phone plans come out on the 21st.

Then I am going to the $60 unlimited plan which includes 2 gig of data, with $10 for each additional gig of data.

Plus, it's LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] zim2dive:
If only ATT wasn't so much more expensive (with a 10% corporate discount, we pay $82/month for a 2line family plan with 1000 minutes and 2G of data each).. I don't think I can get that on any other service for even close on price?

I'm

a) cheap enough

b) not a power user

so I'm willing to suffer the Tmo network.. but other than price, I can't say anything good about Tmo (to be fair I have always had good customer service)
[Nexus 4 General] originalnabisco:
Really wish there was a simple solution to this problem. Had this problem since day one (January) and its never really been fixed. Just feels like N4 is incompatible with T-mobile network or something.

Basically the general problem is it feels like, when on data, it will show full bars reception however there will be no data when using certain connections. I notice this when using certain apps, such as games that use network connection; they will just constantly try to connect with no success. Oddly enough, opening up the browser and waiting for a page to load restores the network connection, then I can simply go back to the game or app and it will connect successfully for a short time, until I have to repeat this process of opening the browser.

This turned out to be a real problem when tethering; whenever I wanted to access a page on my laptop I'd have to first open the browser on N4 and load an arbitrary page on that, then go back to the laptop, then I'd finally have a connection.

I found a simple but not-so-elegant solution to this that works for me. When I really want to use a stable, uninterrupted data connection I open Terminal Emulator app, and run 'ping google.com' in the background. This appears to keep a stable connection through data, as the phone is constantly connected to Google (could be any other server I assume too).

This still doesn't solve another problem I have; when I'm in a quite crowded place (such as university graduation ceremony), I will have full blue bars for data as usual, however -absolutely- no data at all.
[Nexus 4 General] bleys121:
Did you try using the .27 radio? I recently flashed it and I haven't gotten a drop since. I used to only get them once in a while though. Maybe you should consider rma'ing if you haven't already. I flashed it right over 4.2.2 and haven't seen any issues. Been on it for a few days now.
[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
RMA doesn't do anything. I've rma'd 2 devices with no change.

The problem is the t mobile network.

I switched from t mobile to att and no more drop out plus full signal all the time.
[Nexus 4 General] b1337:
Prepaid only uses 60% of all T-Mobile towers, you really think they'd offer the same for less lol!
[Nexus 4 General] bleys121:
I would have to argue that it's just a problem in the with how the radio HANDLES the tmobile network... within this forum others have commented never seeing the grey bars issue on other tmobile phones... I understand there is not as much coverage and signal penetration under the tmobile network but I don't think it's incompatible with the nexus, it has to be something within the radio programming... I don't have much data yet only using it for a few days but the .27 radio is working perfect thus far. I'll report back if I see any issues.
[Nexus 4 General] thfreedumb:
ATT still drops to 3G when idling. It just doesn't change on the signal indicator. Now as for dropping to nada, you have success there.

I have AOKP, Franco and .27 and I rarely lose signal unless i go to a windowless room or something, as with any service. When im outside or by a window its LTE madness.
[Nexus 4 General] dispatch:
Oddly, I had the exact opposite experience. I was on AT&T, and had terrible delays going from H (HSPA:10) to H+ (HSPA:15). By terrible, I mean turn on screen, open google now (or any app that requests data), wait 30 seconds (!), refresh, maybe get data. This happened all over the Minneapolis market.

I bought a prepaid TMO sim and on their network, going from 3G (UMTS) to H+ or LTE is so snappy I barely even notice the delay (it's certainly in the low milliseconds).

So, perhaps you're right that the problem is TMO in your area, but in mine, the problem was AT&T.

(PS the behavior mentioned above was the case on both the .33 and .48 radios -- haven't tried .27)
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
Any fix for un'rooted stock 4.2.2 ?

Bars keep going gray . and when something starts to load it takes around 5.0 seconds to switch from 3g to H .

I have 3bars of signal also.

I'm using the epc APN . should I try a different APN ?
[Nexus 4 General] thfreedumb:
all my success has been on fast.t-mobile.com
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
Could you post your complete APN ?
[Nexus 4 General] Luk45z:
Got the same problems boys Im in T-Mobile UK, full signal and very very slow internet, drooping off calls, grey bars very often. My contract is up next year but I dont know if I'll last till next year with TM, thinking go to Vodafone. My N4 is not rooted but if u saying that radio 27 is good with T-Mobile, i might root my phone again only to check if that would really help and improve signal. :)
[Nexus 4 General] tarroyo:
What exactly is it that 4.2.2 breaks with newer radio's?
[Nexus 4 General] blankit:
I wish I knew but I just flashed .27 radio and I'm having the best signal I've ever had on my phone since I got it.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Just tired of calling them about this issue. So far they've given me a white Nexus 4 and 2 free months.. But that doesn't alleviate the issue is here. I'm on cm10.1 with Franco kernel and .27 radio. I get no bars with LTE, maybe one bar... I stay switching between 3G and H+ over and over. It switches for almost a minute and then loads.

But everything times out. Speed tests fail on upload consistently. I have 2 LTE towers in a 9 mile radius of me.. No excuse. One tower I can see from my kitchen window. Less than a mile away. I wanna leave TMO so bad but the issue is only in my neighborhood.. Everywhere else I work great.
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
They gave u a free nexus & 2 months free ?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Yeah.. First time I lost service for 3 days so they gave me a credit for the remainder of my bill.. About 60 bucks... Second time I lost service for 2 days straight again they offered me a phone of my choice not to cancel. I chose the white N4...I already had the black one.. So i sold it on Swappa and kept the white one they sent me... The signal was in and out and they promised me a free wireless charging orb and they didn't send it to me and they found out they can't in actuality order them separate from a new activation. So for being mislead and my persistent signal issue (9 trouble tickets in a months time) and being so close to the towers they gave me a $70 credit.
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
Maybe I should start complaining about my issues I always have then lol
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I legit thought the issue was them. Well it is honestly. But i never complain. I just file trouble tickets then wait. After so many times you get pissed. But i gotta admit that they ****ED me over royal with promising the charging orb. But that bill sure looks great.
[Nexus 4 General] myturbo1:
What plan are you on ?

Also yea I don't understand. I'm maybe 3/4 mile away from a T-Mobile tower . yet I always lose signal . data stalls etc

I've just been to lazy to give them a call :o
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
call tmo, ask for tech support, ask them to start a ticket on servicing your local tower. i did this once years ago when i had a g1, it made a huge difference after they repaired/cleaned or whatever they did.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I guess u missed it... I had 9 tickets. They keep Closing them "can not reproduce issue" or "issue resolved".

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

I'm on the unlimited data plan. The highest one. I switched over to simple choice recently too. I hate I can't enjoy my device at home or in my neighborhood at all.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
yeah, I miss it. that sucks. have you tried editing your build.prop? rooted?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Rooted last night.. Loaded CM... 27 radio...Franco kernel... Same issue. Idk what editing my build.prop would do.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
add this to the bottom of /system/build.prop/ using a root file explorer like root explorer, save it, then reboot for it to take affect. ive been using these since good ole g1 days, of course numbers have changed per divice. i just get a more solid data connection with these numbers in my area(these numbers arent for lte, for 2G/3G). if you dont want them, just delete them, save, and reboot.

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

if these lines are already included in cms' build.prop, change the numbers to these and reboot).
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Did as you said.... I got about 5 good speed tests in before it went right back to the way it was. No go over here.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
when lte first came into my area(nyc), it was inconsistant for several week, data wouldnt flow sometimes. even in differing areaa, signals werent consistant, great in one place amd terrible in others. even hspa+ became inconsistant, and terrible at times. but now things are better, not perfect, but still improving. maybe the same kind of thing in your area?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
That's what I'm thinking.
[Nexus 4 General] two-rocks:
This is my hope. We just switched to t-mobile from sprint and added 3 Nexus 4's...

We received our phones and activated while on our boat bouncing around Cape Cod for a week....all went well (very well, better than sprint...where we have been for 10+ years)...got home (also on Cape Cod) and everything went to garbage. Called t-mobile, signal is supposed to be very good+....submitted a complaint.

One phone is being replaced for a loose back...I'll try the root/old radio and see where that goes.

After that it's another carrier.

Edit..it seems to be the phone...27 was no better . in fact driving around 27 was consistently lower signal and the latest T Mobile release.

The edit has been done an HTC One, which is the direction we will be going!
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
So LTE officially launched in my city of Atlanta today. I'm sure John Legere's proud of these types of speed. *insert sarcasm here*

@OP: actually the green effect comes from JB's (CM10/CM10.1) bug, even you're using stock camera from arco.

tell your friend to take a picture in portrait mode, not a landscape mode

your friend will see the green effect.

and btw, if your camera have HDR feature, maybe we can share a solution for HDR

actually I have no idea to fix HDR, after take 3 pictures with different exposure, it can not rendered to single last image

Hey thanks so much for mod this is what I did and i have no green screen when i use the back camera. I'm using cm10 rc1 which had green screen, NOT WITH THIS MOD!

I downloaded zip file. Installed it using clockwork recovery. Rebooted. There is now a new camera icon which replaced the old camera icon and I have no green screen.
