[Nexus 4 General] The.Penguin:
No it does not. The software in all Nexus phones, aside from the Verizon galaxy nexus, are strictly base android roms that are mainly controlled by Google. This means that no added software is provided from any company including, but not limited to, T-Mobile. However, there is a current work in progress that a member of XDA is developing. Look under the General threads. Good luck. :)

I know what you mean. I should have properly described my scenario. I honestly meant that lately, since all this buzz about the new plans began, I have been limited to an upper limit of 15Mbps at all times. Prior to March, I would consistently reach speeds of about 26Mbps. I don't really care about the limitations. I am simply stating my observations. I am also curious to see if I am the only person experiencing this.

why does yours say 4G ? are you on AT&T ?
[Nexus 4 General] Eckless:
Roaming?

I know roaming on T-Mo didn't exist on the $30 "Walmart plan" (the 100 minutes but otherwise pretty good plan!)...can you roam on these new $50/$60/$70 plans?

Said another way...when I'd travel to a smaller city that didn't have T-mo coverage, I'd get no coverage whatsoever. Can I at least now roam to an AT&T tower?

[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
This is false. You get voice roaming and I believe 500mb of data roaming in this plan.
[Nexus 4 General] Eckless:
Are you sure? (Otherwise I wouldn't have asked the question!)...

When I was on the $30 prepaid plan, I got no roaming whatsoever -- I remember at least Rapid City, SD and Midland, MI giving no service whatsoever (but no problem in larger cities). If that's all changed, I might consider going back!
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
It's not throttling when T-Mobile does throttle your speeds would be ~.2 mbps. It might have been a tower with hspa+ 42 and T-Mobile needed spectrum for LTE so they made your tower hspa 21
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
So LTE is working for u with RBJ 4.2.2? What radio?
[Nexus 4 General] chrisrozon:
That was on postpaid plans, not contract less.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
Correct... There is roaming coverage on prepaid. Read up on it.
[Nexus 4 General] bro1999:
I rooted my N4, and flashed to CM 10.1 with the .33 radio.

yes. but i guess my area isnt that great yet. HSPA+ is better for me.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
JUST GOT MINE

Picked it up from my pad about a half hour ago

Yes I am THAT excited. Honestly.. I was concerned reading all of the problem threads but let me tell you this phone impresses the hell out of me. Coming from a Galaxy S3, which I loved, this phone FLIES. Seriously it's even faster than my S3 was and that thing was a beast.

No screen issues, no wifi issues, yes it has the "nubs", so far so good with this bad boy.
[Nexus 4 General] UltimateEnd:
Does that mean I too should have working LTE ? Or I have to flash that same radio ?

Lol glad you're happy

Where are you and do you have working LTE ?
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
I'm about 30 minutes north of Los Angeles, and it came running 4.2.2 out of the box with the .48 radio, so I would have to root and modify it to get the LTE going.

I don't really feel the need since everything is loading lightning fast on HSPA+. I mean really fast, faster than my S3 did which is weird tbh

[Nexus 4 General] djdanska:
All of a sudden, T-Mobile is showing up twice on a network scan. It goes away in LTE only mode so it's not LTE.

That's much faster than throttle speeds you just have bad service...

[Nexus 4 General] clusterchuck:
Are you able to use partner shared networks and roam on the new tmobile plans? On the tmboile website, a location I'm at frequently is listed a partnered service coverage for contract users, but prepaid which is what I have now, doesn't get any coverage there.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Throttle speeds are under .08kbps download so that's not going on. Perhaps they're upgrading towers in your area.

Is there a way to force roam. When I was in Sprint I had an app called Roam Control that would force to Verizon.

I got my friend in this plan and ATT is great Archer house while TMob is somewhat lacking.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
Does anyone have a list or link of upcoming LTE cities?
[Nexus 4 General] reuthermonkey:
Anyone? Probably John Legere.

In here? Extremely unlikely. Until LTE lights up on one of our devices, we won't know. If a T-Mobile rep tells you they know "it's only 2 months out!", they're lying. They don't get any inside information.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
Is T-Mobile selling or sending out for replacement the updated nexus design?The one with the feet.
[Nexus 4 General] Testingchip:
I don't think so. I've had mine a week tomorrow and didn't get the newer version. I don't think there's much difference other than the little feet nubs.

The roaming agreement between T-Mobile and AT&T is limited by location. Here in NYC, even if I find a location that T-Mobile drops, but AT&T can still be seen, I will only be able to dial 911.

If you go to:

Settings > Wireless networks > More > Mobile networks > Network operators, you can manually select a different carrier if allowed.

[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
Looks like Austin is on the list for a May LTE launch.Now with the rumors of a LTE Nexus 4,my question is will we receive a LTE radio. If the rumors pan out. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
Quite the opposite... You will need to revert to an older radio (.27/.33) if you're on the current .48 radio along with a custom ROM or 4.2.1 stock ROM for 4G to work once it's deployed in your service area.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
That much I know.My question was if google announces a Nexus 4 LTE at google i/o will T Mobile send us a radio to have LTE capabilities
[Nexus 4 General] SpookyTunes:
Call it a gut feeling, but I suspect it would be a CDMA version for Sprint and / or Verizon.

I think it's too late for the existing 4's to get proper LTE certification from the FCC, and a newer model would start a RMA war with existing owners.

Just look at how many early iPhone 5's without AWS HSPA are getting exchanged at Apple stores.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
I thought so man but I was hoping. Thanks for the response brother.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
To be honest with you my phone is real fast and I really don't need LTE, its just cool to say i have LTE.lol
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
Don't quiet understand your question. Google releasing a new nexus 4 with LTE capabilities would have more to do with the other carriers such as ATT, Verizon, Sprint LTE radio bands rather than Tmo's AWS band 4 which nexus 4 already has now. So if I understand correctly, then the question you're asking is redundant.

Now if you're asking if Tmo/Google releasing a newer radio than .48 to "officially" unlock nexus 4 on Tmo's LTE, that would be a FCC licensing issue which is a different can of worms all together.
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
My bad...sorry brother. Stupid question
[Nexus 4 General] nexicon:
Wait...they're actually turning them in for that? Why would it matter to them and how would Apple even accept that switch..?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] SpookyTunes:
The iPhone 5 (AT&T version) sold before T-Mobile launch does not have AWS HSPA+ support. All the ones sold after T-Mobile launch (including Apple Store and AT&T) do. If the phone is less than a month old, you can return it, take the cash, and buy a new one with AWS. Some have even complained to the Apple store managers, and then got a free exchange. Apple says they want happy customers. Go figure?

[Nexus 4 General] air2k57:
It is far from perfect on the nexus though. Since LTE isn't really official, you have to use an older radio and run cm10. Which isn't bad, but the LTE settings don't stick on reboot and when you lose LTE signal, it does like to at times drop to no service before acquiring hspa.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
You must have come late to the party as what you have implied is not true at all in regards to being limited to ROMs, radios, and/or settings not sticking. Check out the hippowise site for instructions on how to make LTE options permanent after reboot or get haze_nme's flashable zip that will do the same by add LTE options in your network menu so you don't have to enter dialer mode to set LTE. The way you have it setup now is why the radio is dropping when switching from 4G to HSPA. Doing the below mentioned will allow the switching from 4G to HSPA without radio reboots.

Stock 4.2.1 ROM/Radio works with Tmo LTE

Most custom ROMs such as AOKP, CM, Phandroid, etc.. work with LTE using .27/.33 radio/baseband

[Nexus 4 General] fone_fanatic:
I highly doubt it. For several reasons but mainly because if they were someone would have noticed the FCC filling.

I'm in Austin as well and have my nexus "LTE ready" (.33 radio, build prop edits & LTE APN) and patiently waiting for the 4G icon to pop up on my phone :)

Something weird happened last night though. I was at my parents and my device would not hold onto a data connection. It would show 3g/H/H+ then disconnect right away. My brother's nexus 4, which is on latest radio, CM10, and epc APN was holding onto data fine.

I changed my APN from fast to epc and my data connected and worked. Maybe the tower near there is LTE but limited to certain T-Mobile network tester's imei #s?

From what I know. As long as you have an old T-Mobile sim card laying around you can activate it with that sim so in your situation i would to just call them and help you set it up.

I'm saving over $100 a month with T-Mobile and couldn't be happier - everything is comparable here in the Atlanta metro area (even 40 miles outside of downtown ATL). I got a few friends of mine to switch too, but didn't think about the referral bonus; but I feel good I could save my friends some $$... :cool:

Has anyone had problems with downloads stalling out w/ full bars? Anything I download will stall out to a crawl sometime during the first few MB even though it's full bars and I'm in a H+ zone.. It'll just sit there and never resume or if it does it's only a few more MB then it stalls again.
[Nexus 4 General] air2k57:
LTE in DC area. I actually returned HTC one because of how much better the nexus is at keeping LTE signal and speeds. Areas I get 36mbps on the nexus, I got around 15 on HTC one, which occasional burst to 30.
[Nexus 4 General] Durvelle27:
Pretty good speeds. Wish we had LTE here
[Nexus 4 General] n2d551:
I noticed something like this the last 2 days. Testing with open signal with h+ or lte, the data will ramp up & 1/4 of the way through will start dropping off. From the multitude of testing I've done before, data would reach a peak and slowly get higher or hold at a certain point and not drop off. One thing lately @ full bars, I am not getting above 3 mbps whether on + or lte. And before this I never got the magical speeds that everyone's posting. The highest I ever pulled was was 23 mbps. On average 6-12 with @ least 85 dbm even if I sat underneath a tower. I wonder if everyone's account is provisioned the same and I thought about calling t mobile, but they'll probably say that I got service at least
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
Okay can anyone else vouche for these type of speeds on h+. To be honest I'm not sure if my account is provisioned for 4g since I never had a 4g phone and I recently got my data plan when I got my nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] FeintDoxx:
This is what I see in my T-Mobile account.

Should I call T-Mobile and ask If my account is 4g provisioned? I know 4g for the nexus will come soon in my area. I tried doing the lte fix but all I got was a blank triangle when I forced late onle and only h+ when lte/gsm was on.

[Nexus 4 General] TJBunch1228:

[Nexus 4 General] Vortex1969:
If you use promo code 99SIM you can order it from T-Mobile for only 99¢. At least it worked for me this week.

Not sure about other places to grab it.
[Nexus 4 General] jphantomx:
You are awesome :D It is still out of stock though :(

I have kind of a noob question but, if i get the normal sized sim card and cut it myself, will it work?

EDIT: what does "Note:This item is not eligible for a monthly payment plan" mean? lol so confused.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
It means you can't sign up for a monthly plan online when you buy it which you wouldn't do anyways.
[Nexus 4 General] Vortex1969:
OK yes you can cut a sim down but you do have to be careful. If you take it to a cell store they have sim cutters and if there cool they will do it for you. Look on YouTube for sim cutting if your not sure about doing it.:thumbup:

I have AT&T just got the sim for some testing so not sure about your 2nd?
[Nexus 4 General] jphantomx:
Wait, I'm buying it and will activate the sim with the $30 unlimited data plan.. or did you mean with postpaid? i'm confused.

Just used the code said 99c at cart then at checkout total charges were $0, guess I got it for free lol

Thanks for the tip will try and see!

[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
You don't activate your plan when you buy the sim kit. And you aren't activating a monthly plan. You will be activating a prepaid plan. The whole point of that note is so you know you will not be asked to setup a plan after you add it to your cart.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Alright so i had gotten a warranty replacement OG earlier last week and i had woken up one day only to find it unable to turn on, LG logo would show and then would just turn off, tried to LGNPST it and it had no effect so i called ATT and they sent me to a device support store. They tried using their own LG tools and could not communicate with the phone so they considered it a dead on arrival phone. They didn't have any OG at that location and i needed a phone that day because i was making a long road trip and couldn't go without my phone (gps) so they gave me a OX+... with the option to have them send me an OG when i got home and me send them the OX+ back. aaaaannnd i really really like the OX+.. It does benchmark slightly lower than my OG 17500(ish on the OG) vs 15500 on the OX+ (but i hear that antutu is snapdragon biased?) anyways, hardware wise the OG is better, but this thing is so damn nice in my hand, build quality is awesome, i love the sound quality when plugged into aux (had to turn up the radio to like 30 with the OG to get a muddy quality loudish audio, where the beats eq makes it sound amazing, way louder at like 19 on the radio and MUCH more crisp and clean audio) Camera is way better, 64 gb of internal is nice... plenty of dev.. Im for real torn between them both, i love certain things about both of em and dont like certain things.. Guess i just would like to know what others opinions are about the OX+ compared to the OG, maybe this isnt the right place to post this for an unbiased opinion, but please try and be unbiased? haha

tl;dr

My OG got messed up, they gave me an HTC One X+, i really like it but love the OG also, would like to hear unbiased opinions to help make decision which to keep.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
Keep the one x+ if you like it. I would if it was me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
I agree with gunnyman. Keep the HOX+, if you like it. Either way you have a very good phone. Best plan may be to research it like you are buying a new one and pick the one that you like best. If it's truly a toss up, keep the one that you have in hand.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gunnyman:
To me the only difference between the HOX+ and the LGOG is expandable storage vs fixed, but 64GB, actually what 58 GB ish? is plenty.

I'm told the battery life on the HOX+ isn't as good, because Krait chips use less power over all and have integrated the LTE radio on the SoC.

If someone approached me today and wanted to trade my LGOG for a HOX+ I'd probably take them up on it.

I may be biased though because my One X is the best phone I've ever owned.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tmease1:
Ok, not trying to start a argument at all. This is just my opinion so do not take this the wrong way. My wife has a one x and I can't stand it. It was ok to begin with but over time I have grown to hate it. She has went through seven replacements since this past September. All for different reasons. To me it is a cheaply made device. She definitely won't get another htc phone and I won't either for that matter. If I was the op I would stick with the lg.
