My phone always switches from HSPA to 2g,and I was wondering why I don't get 3g.

some lines that ive been adding to my devices for years, for gsm android phones(slightly different lines depending on device). they help with getting a solid data connection and data speed.

[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
Do you know if there will be added cost for LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Ah don't jinx it, we don't need T-Mobile behaving like the other annoying carriers. Let's just wait until they announce it on the 26th tho its likely free given the note 2 received a an update for lte...

Simms whats the easiest way to add the build. Prop edits for someone who uses CM? I tried keeping a copy on my sd card of build. Prop but when i try to replace it i end up in a bootloop
[Nexus 4 General] stevessvt:
Im surprised no one commented on the fairly significant price drop.
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
Has anyone confirmed on the new "uncarrier" plans have they enabled conditional forwarding on those non-con plans? If I could get in on the 500MB plan and have the option to jump to 2GB for a $10 surcharge on heavy use months I would be willing to jump back from ST for getting Google Voice working again.

Im not a heavy user, I live and work around wifi so I could make do with that 500 most months (and just bump it up months I travel.
[Nexus 4 General] dEris:
Don't trust this guy.

No.

If you want free unlimited tethering, your best bet is to tether to only android devices as they can see user agent tags (users' browser) and sticking to only android devices reduces your chances of getting caught.

Use /data/local.prop instead.
[Nexus 4 General] Smallsmx3:
And it will always stay? Unless i flash a new room yes?
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
i use root explorer to just edit the file thats already there. i do keep a copy in my storage, but just cut and paste the lines into /system/build.prop/. if you replaced the whole build.prop file then youd probably have to change the permissions for the file too.
[Nexus 4 General] bedoig:
Your local.prop will only be deleted when you wipe /data. It's not affected by flashing a new ROM, unless of course you wipe /data in the process.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
I never had camera issues with any versions of AOKP or combinations of any of the radios. As for getting LTE to stick after reboot, try the below which only flashes the files and settings needed to add LTE to the network menu w/o flashing .33 radio. Just remember not to enter dialer menu after flashing or the LTE settings won't stick upon reboot. Use the Mobile network settings menu > Network Mode instead to set LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Also just change APN to fast-t-mobile.com and save.

On another related note, looks like the new AOKP M2 fixes LTE toggle in pull down menu. So switching from LTE to 3G/H+ is a snap now rather than having to drill down into the menu settings to change the settings.

FYI, this is not my file.
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Sweet. Music to my ears, lol.

So this procedure will give me the Network Mode option to change to LTE? Because I don't have that now, and nothing I did yesterday (including modifying the files in /system and /system/etc) did either.

Is it necessary to change the APN protocol setting to include IPv6 as well? And what toggle are you referring to? That's the best part. :)

Edit: I went ahead and flashed, and, even though I now have the Network Mode menu, selecting LTE/GSM/WCDMA reverts back to WCDMA as soon as I back out. I changed the APN to fast.t-mobile.com, so am I missing something else? I feel sooo close...argh.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
Keep IPv4, did you hit save after changing APN to fast.t-mobile.com? Nothing else should be needed other than those 2 things. Make sure you don't have 2 or more APN settings.
[Nexus 4 General] theslug:
Sounds like you didn't flash a pre .48 radio. Flash the .33 or .27 radio from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227

You can check what radio version you're currently using by going to Settings> About phone and looking under "Baseband version." If the last two digits are .48 (or .54 or .83) then you need to downgrade the modem.

Cheers.
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
I didn't. But that's my bad. I misread what ghostrid3r wrote in his post above. I took it to mean I didn't have to revert to .33. I guess he meant I had to flash .33 separately.

I'll try again, but not holding my breath. I came across other flash zips in the AndroidForums (the AIO ones) which got me the closest. Immediately after flashing everything worked great. I could switch back and forth between G4 and H+ (I still had to edit the APN manually). But... once I rebooted, even though all of the LTE settings stuck, my N4 couldn't find the signal (phone status said it was connected to LTE, but it wasn't).

At this point, I don't even care about LTE; I just want to make it work, lol.

Later: Hot damn! I think I've got it. 4G stuck after a reboot. But if I toggle between it and H/H+, I have to change to the appropriate apn immediately. If I back out of the menus first, the phone can't find the signal. Makes sense, now that I think about it.

I could make another apn for LTE, but wouldn't it have to be referenced in the apn config file? Is there any way to associate the network with its apn automatically.?
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
Happy to hear it's working for ya. There is no need to make 2 APNs, just use fast.t-mobile.com for all your cellular settings. Switching between LTE/GSM/WCDMA, LTE/WCDMA, GSM/WCDMA preferred will cause the radio to auto turn on and off to the radio bands you specified which is normal behavior.
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Right you are. The only problem is the throttling of download speed if H+ is connected to fast.t-mobile.com (it seems to be capped @ 2Mb in areas where H+ normally gets 15Mb on epc.mobile.com). At least in my neck of the woods. ;)

Of course the positive thing of H+ being on fast.t-mobile is the increased upload speed (I'm seeing at least 5x). But whatever, I'm just so damn thrilled this thing finally paid off. :D Many thanks to all you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] Riverdales27:
Finally checked my area. I noticed that too right now, on hspa it's throttled on fast. I think I'll stick with 54 radio, it gets hspa at my place unlike 27/33 with LTE enabled it's in edge. I'm fine with hspa.
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Is the LTE tethering fix at hippowise still necessary? Because I'm able to create a hotspot and connect my N10. Speed sucks (<1Mb down / 4 Mb up).
[Nexus 4 General] d88naimi:
LTE in north county San Diego is working for me
[Nexus 4 General] willshep:
What is the difference in latency though? a 10 mbit line with a 20ms ping is far faster than a 15mbit connection with a 100ms ping. For me the latency difference between HSPA+ and LTE is incredible. (with HSPA+ having a higher latency by a lot)

[Nexus 4 General] castlefox:
My experience with 30/month prepaid plan with T-Mobile on my Nexus4:

The cell coverage frankly sucks in my house, but it also sucks on every other network so no real loss. I have seen great coverage and speeds at work and other places in the Chicagoland area when in traveling around the area.

I have run into two issues with this pre-paid T-Mobile plan.

1) Occasionally when I have been downloading a lot of app updates and video downloads my phone stops receiving all data. (not including phone calls or text messages) The only "fix" to it is that I have to turn off my N4 and pull out my SIM card and then put it back in again. That may not sound that bad until you remember that pin hole is super tiny and I dont always have a thumb tack on me.

2) I lost all signal driving between the chicago area and rockford. I also lost all coverage while driving in the middle of corn fields in Indiana trying to find out camp site. Losing all signal is rather annoying when I'm driving cross country when I am trying to load GoogleMaps. I have learned to just preload the GoogleMaps before I get to a new location. I can live with T-Mobiles lack of rural coverage since Im saving 40+ per month on this plan AND I am rarely driving through rural areas in any given year.

Have anyone else been having to pull out their SIM card to fix their data issues on T-Mobile ?
[Nexus 4 General] RootTheMachine:
Today is a good day...

[Nexus 4 General] SonicYan:
Walmart stores sometimes sell it, highly doubtful you'll get it at the T-Mobile store. Just use the address where you'll be staying at when you register online, I don't think it matters. Foreign credit cards should work, preferably a Visa or MasterCard one. You should be able to switch to a daily plan if you don't renew the plan. I think you'll have to leave a balance on your account for it to remain active.
[Nexus 4 General] babymatteo:
Hey guys...is LTE possible to get if you're under the Prepaid $30 plan?
[Nexus 4 General] RootTheMachine:
How long should the port from AT&T take? The guy in the store told me it would take 3 hours (around 11:20 AM CST), and it's been over 3. My spare phone with my old AT&T sim in it is working normally, while my Nexus 4 with the T-mobile SIM says phone number:unknown, and won't send/receive calls or texts. Data won't work either, it simply says "Sign into network" which takes me to a T-mobile page saying my data plan isn't compatible with the device. T-mobile's site shows the number as being ported when I check the eligibility. I can't log into T-mobile's website since the phone number isn't valid yet. Should I wait it out or am I reaching a point where I need to call T-mobile?

I feel like I'm going to quickly redact this post, but I'm a bit worried for the time being.

Edit: I went back into the store the next day, and the guy there just had me call support from there. The support lady transferred me over to activations. The guy there seemed very knowledgeable, but he said someone else I had talked to screwed up the process, so he would fix it. Sure enough, 3 hours later I get a call from T-Mobile asking for my dumb AT&T pass code. 2 minutes later, I was up and running. So it took 26 hours in the end.
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
After I got my N4, I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. I was able to use data and call out right away, but the sales guy said it could take up to 24 hrs for me to receive calls. But I was up and running by the time it took to fully charge the battery, a couple of hours.
[Nexus 4 General] machoman1337:
Thanks for the help. I did notice that the closest Walmart to the Harvard/MIT area (where I'm staying) in Boston is 26 km away, a bit inconvenient even with a car, so I might try getting a prepaid dumbphone from Best Buy and just cut the sim card.

So as long as I have a balance (which I intend to) the number will remain active? I could leave say $20 in the account after this trip, without topping up after, and if I cross into the US 6 months later I should expect the number to work?

The soon to be wife and I are currently on Sprint with 2 Epic 4GTs. I'm looking to pick up a Nexus 4 for myself and whatever phone she's interested in. The Sprint contract is expiring soon and I'm curious as to how good the T-Mobile coverage is in Pittsburgh, including LTE. Anyone have experience with it in the area?
[Nexus 4 General] tennandcoz1:
Is T Mobile's warranty for 1 year or is it for your 2 year contract?
[Nexus 4 General] ToiletSalesman:
Not sure about T-Mobile's on-contract warranty -- do you have the insurance?

They recently switched me to the unlimited everything off-contract/prepaid?/"uncarrier" plan -- which is supposedly truly unlimited. I originally had the "Unlimited" on-contract which only allowed up to 5GB.

Since the switch, my Nexus 4 seems a lot slower. Are they using the same bands and everything? Anyone else having that issue?

Phone is also generally sucking since 4.3 update -- internet has been very weird.

besides tethering my nexus 7(and gnex), i tether my laptop a lot. i did purchase the tethering plan, im just tired of all the work arounds.
[Nexus 4 General] lazinase:
T-Mobile did a great job to decrease its revenue (a.k.a. saves my money).

I was using an Even More Plus (no contract) plan with Unlimited Android Web since the days when Nexus One debuted. Until two months ago, there was no speed cap at all. But then the 5GB nasty thing kicked in. So I contacted T-Mobile about that and the rep introduced the Value Plan to me along with two year contract extension. The reason that I used Even More Plus was that it's cheaper comparing to the subsidized Even More at that time. Now, the VP seems a sweet deal.

Here was my Even More Plus:

1500 shared voice min for 5 lines

2 Unlimited Android Web

All unlimited text

Price after tax: 171.40

Here is my new Value Plan:

1000 shared voice min for 5 lines

2 Unlimited uncapped 4G

All unlimited text

Since my family uses the phones to call each other so we can live without that 500 voice min.

Price before tax along with 15% corporation discount: 91.84 (tax would be 29.5 the most so the final price should be around 121.34)

50 dollars off per month because some geniuses put a speed cap on my phone to piss me off! Nice work T-Mobile

LTE question

All, I am new to the threads and forums as a poster but I lurk quite a bit learning as much as I can....heh..

Anyway everything I have read the latest update from Google ensured that when T-Mobile does in fact turn on LTE we will not be able to get it correct?

It was my understanding that this phone would never have LTE....now I may be wrong because according to my wife it happens a lot... :o)

I was curious...and thought I would weigh in...please comment. Thank you in advance for all the advice

[Nexus 4 General] sfoxy:
You will most likely not be able to get LTE connections with your Nexus 4 on the T-Mobile network. The chip inside your phone must be activated for LTE to be enabled. Even if you root and follow the new steps for activating the chip, you aren't guaranteed a working connection. A very limited frequency of LTE connections actually work once the chip is activated. From what I've seen only those in Canada have had any luck. I have seen one guy on Houston LTE but said at this point he could only get a connection and not do much else... maybe because the towers aren't live yet.
[Nexus 4 General] dr.devman:
This is incorrect. The LTE will work fine once T-Mobile makes the LTE live tomorrow in their first 7 cities
[Nexus 4 General] sfoxy:
10 gigs! That's pretty sweet. Every month I come in right under the 2gb cap. I'm on wifi at home and whenever I can be but I like streaming music and browsing youtube which will get you to 2gb pretty fast with HD streams.
[Nexus 4 General] sfoxy:
Not trying to be a **** but do you have a source for that? I've read comments from both google and t-mobile that say this won't work. Can someone link to the updated thread on activating LTE?
[Nexus 4 General] dr.devman:
Have you sewn the multiple threads on xda about lte on T-Mobile
[Nexus 4 General] sfoxy:
I realize you can get it to work but there are some downfalls like losing data (no hspa fallback) when leaving a LTE area. Its not officially supported and is going to cause some problems. I'd also like to see what people are saying about battery usage with LTE enabled.

I've been on EM+ for ages, 500 minutes, unlimited text and data, no tethering complaints yet. $63.84 every month on the dot. The new uncarrier $60 (2.5gb data) plan is the best newer plan I've seen but I don't need more minutes and don't want the lower high speed data cap. I can't see myself ever changing plans unless they make me or if I need to add lines. Lucky to live in a good tmo area.

[Nexus 4 General] sarkozy:
To be fair, they'd probably be in the clear seeing as the functionality WAS disabled for the end user. Lots of electronic devices are sold with similar vague specifications every day. End users hacking the device to gain functionality isn't looked at too closely unless it causes problems. In the long run LTE on this phone is a curiosity at best. Even with the CM code and .33 radio the LTE/GSM handoff is still broken. Unless someone wants to write an RIL to properly utilize the LTE/GSM bands (hint: ain't happening) it will always be nothing more than a tweak a few people will use to show off or download massive amounts of porn.

[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
if you can get hspa+ (hspa: 15) your phone will automatically turn it on when you start using some data. It switches to hspa (hspa: 10) as a battery saving default when no data is being transferred :)

[Nexus 4 General] Dungeon47:
Finally got everything ported over.

The bad: service sucks in my apartment. I'm just in a small bad pocket, because it's great 100 feet away. I'm going to call them to see if they have any workarounds, as I'm in an "excellent coverage" area on their map.

The good: data speeds are fast. Much faster than AT&T was. HSPA+ on AT&T was 1.5 to 3Mbit on average, with 7Mbit being the highest I could ever get. On T-Mo I average 5-10Mbit and peak out at 15 in the same areas.

Advice: if you're coming from AT&T, when porting your number, seriously give it two hours to get its act together. At first I was really concerned because I couldn't get texts at all (I test stuff like a psychopath) but it eventually came around, and now it's fine (except for poor service at home).

It doesn't. I looked into it and there's people trying to get it working, but it doesn't work out of the box. I'm hoping for it to happen because I need it for calling at home as explained above.

Don't stress about seeing 3G or H instead of H+. The phone will switch to slower methods because they consume less power if you aren't doing anything taxing. It's kind of like the CPu lowering its clock speed when you are idle. The speed switches very fast, but it doesn't show it right away because it would waste power to be constantly updating the signal indicator every half second.
