Can you get the LTE setting to stick on reboot? That was the issue I was running into with running stock 4.4.2. I followed the same method I have always used as well as the steps as detailed by WOP_DRIVE in this post, even tried switching from CWM to TWRP, and had the same results; I could set LTE and get 4G indicator, but on reboot, the phone setting always reset to WCDMA preferred.

I am going to try again tonight with the factory images and see what is what... I will update this post with whatever happens.

[Nexus 4 General] :
Did you change APN settings?
[Nexus 4 General] AJ06:
I am using the updated 33-98 hybrid and life is good. The new 4G tower that just went online is also helping massively.
[Nexus 4 General] shroud27:
Yes, LTE was still available after reboot, no need to change any settings.

I changed the APN to the LTE APN, internet connection worked fine, it was just voice calls that were not working.

I just pull the latest radio from the factory images, since they released those today. Links are messed up tho, hopefully they fix them (they missed the last 8 digits of the checksum on the links.)
[Nexus 4 General] audiospeedwagon:
This worked for me, thanks; although I had to change the "network=10" to "network=9". I am not sure what these values mean so I don't know why one works but not the other.

Anyway, the only reason I can think that the zip enablers are not working when flashed in recovery is that I did not grant ROOT access to CWM ROM Manager prior to flashing; donb't know why that that would make a difference but when I would I would flash the zip, it would NOT edit build.prop.

Here is a screenshot showing the sweet 4Gs:
[Nexus 4 General] WiseManWhite:
I flashed the zip multiple times and had duplicated entries, so I deleted the duplicates and:

• changed the 9 to a 10 (not sure if that was necessary)

• restarted

• dialed *#*#4636#*#*

• selected LTE /GSM auto prl

LTE should be working now after a few seconds.

I'm running SlimKat 4.2.2 BTW. On SlimBean I never had to dial that number so they may have changed something.

Update:

Doesn't stick on reboot
[Nexus 4 General] GD3tyrone:
Will this work with stock rooted 4.4.2
[Nexus 4 General] WOP_Drive:
Yes :) I'm running stock 4.4.2 and have successfully used LTE thanks to this forum and this articlehttp://m.pocketnow.com/2013/08/02/get-lte-on-your-nexus-4

4.4.2?
[Nexus 4 General] Generalhead:
I am able to use LTE with the 33/98 modem but it does not stick after a reboot. I have to *#*#4636#*#* each time I reboot.
[Nexus 4 General] ctbearz:
Currently have this LTE fix on stock rooted 4.3.

If I update to stock rooted 4.4.2, will it break the current LTE functionality? Will I have to do this all over again?

Should I just proceed to update it via the OTA notification?
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Yes, since you'll be overwriting edits made by the enabler.

Have to say that since the AIO enablers came out months ago, I've never had to once manually edit anything, no matter the ROM or Android firmware, in order for LTE to stick. What I *have* had to do is manually change the mobile network first off, then open and save the LTE APN (even if no changes are made) and back out of Settings, which forces the phone to reconnect to the network. After that it always sticks. Maybe cuz I'm on T-Mobile (?) .
[Nexus 4 General] audiospeedwagon:
Hi CT,

I was in the situation you were in; I had stock, rooted 4.3 on the Nexus 4 with the LTE enabler. You will probably not be able to OTA update if you have the hybrid modem installed. You will probably have to run the LTE uninstaller zip to go back to remove the hybrid radio. Here is a link to the thread that has that zip: https://github.com/marcandrews/mako-lte-and-lte-hotspot-fix/releases

When I first tried to update to 4.4.1, the .33/.98 would not work for me; no matter what I did, I could not get the LTE setting to stick on reboot. I ended up using the .33/.84 zip instead, which did work for me.

When I updated to 4.4.2, first using the OTA zip, then using the factory image, I could not get the LTE settings to stick, no matter which hybrid radio zip I used. I ended up having to go in and enter the build.prop edits manually. You can find them in my previous posts in this thread or by searching online. If you need links let me know.

I know others on this thread seemed to have no problem enabling LTE with the zip files; I don't know what the issue was but I just COULD NOT get the LTE settings to stick on 4.4.2.

I had the same problem; I eventually had to edit the build.prop file manually. After that, I got the *#*#4636#*#* LTE setting to stick.

[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
I was unlocked but not rooted running 4.4.2. I used the Nexus 4 Toolkit to sideload the 98-33.zip via ADB and stock recovery. I have no idea if it worked. I know my boot image changed, (didn't know there was a custom boot in there) and also, did my dialer always have haptic feedback on? And my camera icon at lock screen is gone. I have not manually changed the network preference because someone said not to or I won't get it to stick after reboot. That it will automatically pick it up in time...... Sooooo.....we'll see?

Thanks for following up; I got LTE working by editing build.prop directly and flashing the 33/98 radio. I have been looking at this tethering zip, however, as 4.4 diabled my tethering capability altogether.

Thanks,

[Nexus 4 General] WOP_Drive:
Lemme know what you find re: tethering/hotspot. I just tried my hotspot and while it appeared to connect correctly, it was unusually slow or didn't allow my connected devices to load any web pages at all. I scoured this thread and even tried flashing his updates but almost all failed. Hmmmmm
[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
I have T-Mobile and am in the Sacramento area. I didn't notice any LTE after 24 hours so I attempted the preferred network switch. It doesn't seem to work. I must be doing something wrong. The phone is running warmer though. And my tethering works.
[Nexus 4 General] dEris:
Has anyone been able to get the zip to add the build.prob entries? Every time I update to latest nightly, I have to manually add entries. Wish there was a script I can flash that does this and works. ?

Current zip just flashes the radio, but never adds the build.prop entries.

Good day Gents:

So I figured I would add a little to this thread since I am working on the same project:

My progress so far

1. Stock Kit Kat 4.4.2 Rooted (Flashed factory stock with WUGFRESH Toolkit due to issues with Wireless Hotspot error message when trying to enable it. NOT LTE related BTW)

2. I used the zip files from this thread and it worked the first time. Settings stick after reboot as well. Flashed from TWRP Recovery

a. I dialed *#*#info#*#* prior to setting APN (by mistake) and before I could get to the APN menu 4G popped up on the screen.

b. fast.t-mobile.com was already there. (I did this once before on 4.4.1 and had to do an APN default reset for fast.t-mobile.com to show)

c. Phone setting to LTE/GSM or LTE/GSM/CDMA makes no difference except in the Mobile networks menu where "preferred network type" is LTE recommended or Global. Performance is identical for me either way.

3. Tethering: I have T-Mobile's 6.5 GB tethering plan btw. (Since I did the factory re-flash I solved my wireless hot spot enabling issue which was NOT LTE related.)

a. I can connect with my net-book but I have observed the following: 1. Quite a few pages begin the initial connection but do not load. Anything Google related loads fine. I can get some pages to load, but it is hit and miss. Mostly miss actually. I manually set my IP address a chose Google's public DNS servers to no avail. Still the same slow load issue.

My hot spot worked flawlessly on 4.3 but I had not used it since I updated to 4.4 so I can't say if that changed anything. I selected 3G and the connection is still sporadic and slow. I am unsure as to if the bad connection is related to the hybrid radio so I am going to undue the hack and use the stock radio.

Someone else experienced the slow and sporadic internet access as well.

I will post my results after I revert back to the stock radio and prop build.

Note: I am not very sophisticated with this stuff. I use zip files and the WugFresh Toolkit and alot of reading so take my experience with a grain of salt. Just wanted to share....
[Nexus 4 General] ragdoll20:
Soooo.... i flashed this on my 4.4 and now i cant call anyone anymore. the screen hangs and audio doesnt work anymore. data and sms do work though.... never had any problem before. Can i revert back to stock or something? :)
[Nexus 4 General] audiospeedwagon:
There is a hybrid radio uninstall zip the *should* get you back to the stock radio. Here is a link to that thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2416822

[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
FYI

I had a similar problem. So I reverted back to the stock settings but my internet connection still did not perform as it should. It may not be related to the LTE hack at all. If you have some connection it may be something else.

I have a tethering plan so that may be different for you. I am currently at stock until I figure out why my hot spot connection is so bad....

Post up your fix if you find one as I am curious as well....
[Nexus 4 General] WOP_Drive:
Thank you very much for researching this! It most definitely helps! I also have a tethering plan. I'll give it another go tomorrow and let you know. I'm running stock, rooted, TWRP, LTE enabled (.33).

Could you help me do this? I'm pretty sure I have successfully flashed the radio and all but how does a noob like me make these manual edits? Is there already a tutorial somewhere?
[Nexus 4 General] dEris:
Get a file browser (root explorer) and open build.prop and add entries. Save then reboot.

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

You simply can't because it will require different radio. In this script zip also contains hybrid audio modem which only works on Nexus 4 only!!! Failure of flashing firmware will lead to bricked devices!!!

# LTE Tweaks

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

ro.telephony.default_network=9

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

9 for LTE/GSM auto (PRL)

10 for LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Your choosing for 2nd and 3rd commands; however, they must be the same, otherwise your device will interchange the network continuously causing unstable/dropping signal
[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
I did. My only issue was that when I tethered my net book, some pages wouldn't load and some loaded slowly. Others loaded fine. I think that problem was NOT related to the hack at all. It seemed like a DNS issue in my area.

I reverted back to stock (meaning a factory wipe and un-root actually) and still the same problem on HSPA. It may be my net book or the signal in my area.

I used the script located at the beginning of this thread and I was running 4.4.2 rooted. All changes worked and they stuck when phone rebooted.

Check my post on the previous page....
[Nexus 4 General] ragdoll20:
So i tried one of those uninstallers to revert back because my phone is now f*cked but it wont work because there all for 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 and im on 4.4.....

What do i do?
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Meant to hit reply and thanked you instead, in case you're wondering, ;)...

Anyway, if you're on a custom rom, just reflash it. That will overwrite the edits.
[Nexus 4 General] WOP_Drive:
Yup. Same here. Successfully using LTE with stock 4.4.2.
[Nexus 4 General] vn00914361:
Reflashing ROM will not change the firmware

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Download the stock image, use 7zip to extract everything until you see the images with .img extension. Use fastboot to flash the radio using the following command:

fastboot flash radio <your radio image name, including .img>
[Nexus 4 General] gorilla p:
If you flash a ROM, it will usually come with the radio firmware. I haven't had any problems that a clean wipe/ factory reset a couple times, then reflashing rom, kernel, gapps, supersu, radio wouldn't fix. Just make sure you have cwm installed.
[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
Slow Hot Spot fixed!!!

By the way, I changed my APN from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6 and that cleared up the slow tethering issue. Looks like the WAN Internet Protocol had DNS issues and the IPv4 setting may have given it a better chance at name resolution.

I was looking in this thread which found because of you lol.

He recommended IPv4 but I tried the combination setting of IPv4/IPv6. I figured that T-Mobile's network varies in quality and standards from one geographical location to another and the combined setting would give me the best of both worlds regardless of where I went.

[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
So, I have to ADD all that? Cause I don't see anything looking like that to edit. Here is a screenshot and it won't let me save it.

I had to mount to RW system to edit file, tried 9 and got nothing, I'm trying 10 now
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
Guess I'm misunderstanding what the uninstaller does. I thought it was just a means to revert the edits to build.prop.
[Nexus 4 General] WOP_Drive:
Wow... Good find!! Mine was set to IPv6 like yours. I just changed it to IPv4/IPv6. I'll test it later today. Thanks, man!

*UPDATE* Changing the APN to IPv4/IPv6 did allow my hotspot to work normally.
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
I remember back in the day where you could put the .img file on your sdcard, boot up to the bootloader and it would automatically install the new radio. :cool:

A little update:

Ok,

So in my efforts to fix a slow tethering speed issue I ended up doing a full factory reset including wiping all of my data. ( didn't care about that because I have backups of everything). After testing the tethering speed and finally resolving it, I re-flashed the LTE zip and got it back. Tested tethering and all is well.

However,

1. Unlike the first time I flashed LTE and it would stick after reboot, now it does not. Looks like it's hit and miss for those who were wondering why they had to reset on reboot. But fortunately the solution to that is right here in this thread.

2. While LTE is enabled, I am unable to surf the web and talk on the phone simultaneously. Not surprised as I read somewhere that this hack does not allow Voip anyway. Can't remember the exact reason but the info is out there.

Conclusion:

I am going to leave the phone this way as when I am working at a sight I have to talk to tech support and look at a ticket online at the same time. I can't have the phone lose internet capability when I am on a call as it would no longer be a good tool for me.

At the times that I want a fast internet connection and don't care about the lose of simultaneous connection I can manually set the LTE. Mostly for my 13 year old daughter who uses my hotspot when we are on the road and is online :).

Most of my observations are out there, but I figured I I would put it up here for someone who missed it...
[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
I still can't get mine to work. Everything sticks on reboot. I'm convinced it has to do with my APN. Can you post you APN settings?
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
Even if you have the Nexus 5 which has LTE, if you have it on LTE only, no, you won't be able to call or receive calls because tmo doesn't support voice over LTE yet.

Hey! My APN setting is IPv4/IPv6.
[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
Got it to work! Thanks. It was indeed my APN but not the IPv4 setting so I'm glad you included the screenies. Chalk another one up for successful LTE using the 98-33.zip flashed via TWRP running stock 4.4.2 on T-Mobile. I also used the .zip that JUST inserts the manual entries and everything sticks on reboot. GPS and tether working well. Holy crap its fast. When I tether to my desktop its faster than my cable Internet.
[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
I bit of confusion,

I can make and receive calls fine.

I have the phone set to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto...

My issue is that I can't surf the web while on a call when I have the LTE/GSM/CDMA auto enabled. I have to revert back to WCDMA prefered to do that....

Is that not normal? I know about T-Mobile not having VoIP yet :)

EDIT!!!!: Changed to LTE/GSM and that fixed it!!!! Now to change settings to make it stick and I should be golden....
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
My understanding is that's normal as you can't connect to both networks at the same time.
[Nexus 4 General] nspusmc:
When I make or receive a call, the phone automatically switches to HSPA and I can get data while on the phone. I hang up and it goes back to LTE
[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
Confirmed.....

Got it to work now. No reboot issues with hack not sticking either. Works like the factory sold it that way.

In the *#*#info#*#* menu my settings are LTE/GSM. That worked better than LTE/GSM/CDMA actually. At least for me on 4.4.2 stock rooted...

I am very happy with my phone now and will put off buying another for 6 more months or so.

This was addressed in 3 of 5 posts above yours.

T-Mobile doesn't support voice over Lte yet, so when talking it will switch to 3g, then back to Lte once done.

Keep in mind CDMA and wcdma are different.

I would recommend for everyone to compare their 3g vs 4g speeds as in a lot of areas, especially those with high quality hspa+ networks, the speeds will he very similar or the same. In this case, I wouldn't recommend using 4g as it puts a significant drain on your battery. See article for more detailed info.

[Nexus 4 General] DroneWorker:
I think that nspusmc's comment was directed at me because I initially couldn't access data while on a phone call. It was because I had LTE/GSM/CDMA enabled instead of LTE/GSM. A noob error since I am a bit new to all of this :o.

I actually want to buy an LG G2 to use for work and add another line to my t-mobile family account so I can play with my nexus 4. I would rather learn to do things manually instead of running scripts and using tool boxes and such.

Yes. The battery drain is higher. That's the first thing I noticed when I did the hack last week. It's fine though. I'm usually connected to a charger most of the time, and don't use the display much when I'm not.
