Thanks, this is what I was thinking. Correct me if I'm wrong but flashing the stock ROM would still leave the old radio behind if I understand correctly.

In any case, I've decided to play it safe and just flash the.33/84 hybrid radio from morrislee and manually enable lte. Everything is working like a charm other than having to re-enable lte when I reboot. I'm going to keep learning how to do as much as I can manually before utilizing any all in one scripts but I'm really grateful for all the tools available here along with all the info! This place is great! :)
[Nexus 4 General] UnwiredDroid:
This will give LTE signal on N4?
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
If your carrier is using band 4, yes.
[Nexus 4 General] UnwiredDroid:
I will test this with my carrier (Globe Telecom Philippines) uses HSPA+ while Smart Telecom Philippines has LTE nationwide so I might switch to Smart to test.
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks Globe Telecom uses band 3 and Smart uses band 1 so you're out of luck with LTE on the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] UnwiredDroid:
That's sad! Thanks Alern!
[Nexus 4 General] ctbearz:
A quick summary of LTE on T-Mobile thus far:

Awesome speeds...everything is snappier due to the ridiculous upload speeds.

One thing I did notice though....it seems like whenever I make a phone call or receive a phone call, it switches back to HSPA (I can see the little H). It switches back to 4G after the call has ended. Is this normal? GSM is suppose to be able to support simultaneous data + calling...so why would it need to switch to HSPA? I'd prefer if it would stay on 4G instead of switching back and forth between calls.

Running 4.3 build JWR66Y w/ .33/.84 hybrid radio
[Nexus 4 General] Toobie:
Can I use LTE in Gemany with this modem?
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
Yes if your carrier uses band 4. Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks to see if they do.

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

Yes its normal. This happens because T-Mobile doesn't have Voice over LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] ferrocene:
Well technically you're right. That is, HSPA IS data. All calls are really 2G circuit switched, everything above that is packet switched data (gprs, edge, 3g, etc)
[Nexus 4 General] dorkboy69:
I am on AT&T in Green Bay and ran the script with the .33 radio and I get LTE. Thanks for the script.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
From what I understand if u full wipe then you won't have to renable.

Now if I make a backup of data then full wipe, maybe boot once, then restore I could have done the full wipe without losing data correct? And not have to enable LTE every boot.

What do u guys think?
[Nexus 4 General] n2d551:
True. No matter how many roms you flash the radio stays the same. However, unless you have a rom that has the correct apn and build.prop edits, you would have to correct these after boot. And you might have to enable the network setting (info or preferred setting if your rom has it) The AIO is basically a one shot deal that does it all except for the apn, but not really needed to use for every flash thereafter because it re-writes the radio every time. I just flash my rom, gapps, kernel, flash the mako lte enabler zip (which changes the build.prop), and done!
[Nexus 4 General] ambuj:
Hi all, I have flashed this zip today with .33 radio and I am using the same sim and APN as I use on HTC one, I have also selected the network as LTE however I am still not getting lte signal. I am in the same area where I receive lte signal with HTC one :(

Can someone help me
[Nexus 4 General] mikewmedved:
things are never as easy as they should be...

So I've unlocked, rooted, have CWM installed.

I've tried installing the all in one, and it installs correctly but I do not get any LTE. Hspa and 3g work fine. I'm in the Cleveland area and (according to the maps at least) should have Excellent 4g LTE here.

I've changed the APN to the correct one (fast.t-mobile.com), done the *#*#..... stuff. What else?
[Nexus 4 General] Toobie:
On Germany none the the carrier uses band 4 :(
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Right I know Roms don't flash radios, I'm stock right now and want to keep the stock ROM. Is it possible to have it permenantly enabled after reboot in stock ROM?
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
Tmo doesn't use voice over LTE technology yet. This is my understanding.

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

When I pass through C-Town, I get 4G. Have you tried flashing the other AIO radio zip file?
[Nexus 4 General] n2d551:
You have to be rooted and have a custom recovery to flash on stock and have the correct apn. I can't tell you that it would stick(network settings) on reboot. But if you use the info menu you can change to lte/gsm auto on every reboot

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Correct until the advanced lte rolls out probably next year
[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
I tried a few different ways to get the LTE on tmobile, without success.

I tried to do it manually, but I have no build.prop under / . I flashed the hybrid radio and I see the .33 radio in "about phone". I am able to switch to LTE/... with *#*#4636#*#*. I have changed APN to fast.t-mobile.com. I have flashed the AIO zips also to see if they will create a build.prop, but they don't.

If I change the preferred network type to LTE only, I get no signal. I'm in the middle of Los Angeles, so it seems unlikely that there are no LTE signals here.

Question: is the build.prop only to allow the LTE setting to stick or actually enables the LTE? Right now when I boot up, the preferred network type already includes LTE.

Any thoughts on what I could try next?

ROM: PSX v5

Kernel: Semaphore

tmobile plan: 200mg high speed data capped

Thanks for everyone's good work here.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Come on bro I'm not a noob I know that I was just asking about stock rom before I root it cuz its the only reason I'm gonna root the phone
[Nexus 4 General] SpasilliumNexus:
build.prop is in /system
[Nexus 4 General] mikewmedved:
Yeah, tried both hybrid radios. Even tried the orig .27. No dice on LTE. I'm on MetroPCS, which is Tmo, yeah?
[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
Duh. Thank you!!!

Ok. telephony.lteONGsmDevice=1 is already set, probably by the AIO zips. This is probably why the phone boots up to LTE/GSM/WCDMA. But I still can't get LTE signal if I switch to "LTE only.

To get the correct APN, do I need to change anything else besides setting APN to fast.t-mobile.com? All that proxy/Port/MCC/MNC stuff??

What else can I be missing?
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
Ah, No! Yes, they merged, until they say otherwise, they still have different networks.
[Nexus 4 General] Ichiban Rei:
That's all I've ever had to do, also I cannot get LTE when using LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Try LTE/GSM auto (PRL). That has always worked for me on T-mobile. I'm currently using stock rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] SpasilliumNexus:
No, the only thing that needs to be changed in the default APN is epc.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com.

Screenshots of my setup attached for verification.

Along with "telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1", your build.prop should contain "ro.telephony.default_network=9" and "ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9" too.

Finally, under *#*#4636#*#* preferred network type should be set to "LTE/GSM auto" automatically every time you boot your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
Yes to all of the above setting. Except a few settings for the APN isn't loaded automatically. Also I don't have LTE/GSM auto (PRL).
[Nexus 4 General] Ichiban Rei:
That's odd... Now I'm testing LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and it's working. Perhaps try making a nandroid and go back to stock rooted? Sorry I didn't catch what rom you were using. I'll look back and try out your rom.

EDIT:

Found it, PSX v5, Semaphore. I'll grab this stuff and test it out. I'll let you know what I get.
[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
I'll certainly give the stock rom and kernel a shot later when I have time. Thanks for all your help
[Nexus 4 General] Ichiban Rei:
All done. I have LTE working fine with this rom, but I did not have to flash this zip. I installed, renamed the T-Mobile US APN to fast.t-mobile.com and LTE kicked on. I did not change the phone information settings, but checking them now it shows that I have LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL). Anyway, Try this:

1. Full wipe

2. Install rom + gapps (I used the PSX Gapps)

3. Boot into rom and change apn to fast.t-mobile.com and wait for 4G LTE.

4. Reboot into recovery and flash kernel

5. Wipe Cache and Dalvik (I usually do this after flashing a kernel).

6. Reboot and enjoy.

Let me know how this works out for you.
[Nexus 4 General] andybfmv96:
Does anyone know which modem works better? .27 or .33. I've never figured out what the difference is.
[Nexus 4 General] Grover289:
Depends on where you live and which radio hybrid works better for you....some say .33, others say .27...try em both and see which one ya like better :D:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] zoym:
thx. lte is working great for web, with either hybrid radio. but my n4 couldnt get call when lte is on. sms is working.

im in houston, tx, has anybody else got this issue?
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
That's normal. Tmo doesn't have voice over LTE technology yet.
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
Do you have the network mode set to LTE only? Needs to be LTE/GSM so you can still get voice calls since voice doesn't go over the LTE network.
[Nexus 4 General] RaphaDroid:
I have a little question:

What if something goes wrong? What sould I do?

I mean, what if I flash the Zip and loose my connection? (I don't know even if it is possible to happen...)

Better yet, could someone link me to a good tutorial for Nexus 4 radios/modems? I would REALLY appreciate!

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] zoym:
thanks all
[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
Hmmm. It's not working. I tried a few different roms (carbon, purity, vanir) and not flashing custom kernel and nothing worked. I have also called tmobile and made sure that my plan gets LTE connection.

My steps are typically:

1. Full wipe (factory reset in TWRP)

2. Flash rom + gapps

3. Flash enable LTE script

4. Wipe cache and dalvik

5. Boot

I tried carbon rom V18 (4.2.2), it even includes all the tmobile LTE detailed setting that I don't get if I just set "fast.t-mobile.com". I also get the choice of some type of LTE in connection type. I have tried the .33/.84 and .27/.84 hybrid. Don't know what else I can try. =/
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
I don't know of one offhand, but this thread might help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
[Nexus 4 General] Ichiban Rei:
Damn, sorry to hear. Are you getting any data at all? Does it stay at HSPA? The only thing I can figure is that there's no LTE connection at your current position. It sounds like you're doing everything right.

Incedently, when installing roms that have the LTE settings inculded, are you still flashing the script? You probably shouldn't (not that you are). Another thing to try (in the off chance that you haven't) is try flashing stock radio, a rom and gapps without the script, boot into it and make sure you have data, then try flashing one of the radios again along with the script. Again, I'm pretty sure you've tried these things, I'm just kind of at a loss since it always just worked for me.

A few months a go I was having trouble getting my GPS to work no matter what rom I tired. As a last desperate move, I flashed the stock image via ADB to get myself back to factory settings (radio and all), verified everything work, rooted and then applied the LTE settings. That seems to have solved all my issues. This would destroy ALL your data including "SD" card, so back up your stuff if you do end up going that route. All I can say is that it did in fact solve all my issues and have been running trouble free since. Just thought I'd give you another avenue to try.

Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry I couldn't help.
[Nexus 4 General] RaphaDroid:
That helped me! Thanks! But I still have a question: if something goes wrong, what should I do? Flash stock radio? If so, should I wipe something for a "clean radio flash"?

Sorry for bothering... This looks quite complex! :?

[Nexus 4 General] mrdingding:
You couldn't have been more helpful. I'll try restore to factory setting via ADB. Thanks!:D
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
No bother at all. :) If you're on a custom ROM, flashing it again would revert any changes made to system files. But you would need to flash the stock radio separately. If you're on the stock ROM, reflashing that will also restore the radio to stock.
[Nexus 4 General] RaphaDroid:
Thanks man! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Danx757:
Will this work on AT&T? Do I have to edit my APN before it works?
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
If AT&T is using band 4 in your area, then yes it will work and you should already have their LTE apn in your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] andybfmv96:
Im getting a REALLY delayed initial connection to my mobile data. Even in areas where I normally get good connection. I'm on .33. I'll try .27 now but I don't think it will change. Anyone know a fix?

Edit: if I change it to wcdma preferred it works perfect, but I don't think LTE will work on that setting will it? Certainly not with maximum performance right? And I'm on paranoid android. Should it matter? And should I change to cyanogenmod?

So I've got this working for the most part except, being new and wanting understand as much as I can, I didn't install the all in one zip. I just unlocked, installed CWM and then just flashed one of morrislee's hybrid radios. Everything is working great with the stock ROM other than having to manually set LTE in the info screen after a reboot.

Just wondering if someone could help me understand this: bpear96 states that the all in one "updates your build.prop with the needed changes". Does this mean that there is a script in his all in one zip that updates some values in build.prop so that (hopefully) one doesn't need to manually enable LTE after each reboot? If I'm right in assuming that, is there a way to manually update the build.prop file in a text editor (after rooting of course) to achieve this?

I've searched and think I've seen some reference to this and what values to change but I don't have enough experience/context yet to understand what I have seen. If it is editing text in the build.prop that needs to be done would anyone detail for me which lines need to be changed and how? Or point me to those instructions for the Nexus 4 if they already exist somewhere? I'd really like to be able to understand all the processes which is why I ask.

Either way, when Google dropped the price of the Nexus 4 by $110 I sold my Galaxy Note 2 for $430 and put it towards buying a Nexus 4 and the new Nexus 7. :D My only regret was loosing LTE speeds on my phone so I'm a happy camper now that I"m back to getting 35 Mbit down and 20 up!
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
That is correct. It flashes the hybrid modem and adds three lines to the build prop which you could add yourself. With these changes you don't have to change anything after every reboot.

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
[Nexus 4 General] mjoa68:
Awesome, thanks! So then I'm not altering any existing lines, just adding these three? I'm going to root and give this a try.
[Nexus 4 General] arlenwoot:
Yup that is correct. Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] bruce7373:
I used to manually make these changes until I found this AIO. I've had no problems with LTE sticking through reboots, but my build.prop doesn't look as if it's been edited. It still shows "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0" and is missing the other two lines. Curious.

[Nexus 4 General] kthejoker20:
Enter the right apn settings, otherwise your just not connected to Google servers
[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Just so there's no confusion for people reading the above points:

1) there is no such thing as an LTE/GSM/WCDMA auto setting on a stock ROM. Some custom ROMs may have that, but I really have no idea what it would be for, as LTE/GSM auto uses all three radios (LTE and WCDMA and GSM/EDGE).

2) LTE/GSM/CDMA auto does nothing different than LTE/GSM auto, as the N4 doesn't have a CDMA radio.

[MENTION=1566190]efrant[/MENTION], just curious, what does the (PRL) designation mean?

Im having issues here. I've tried both zip but I'm not getting 4G lte. I'll get 3G or H+ and the speeds are bad. Sometimes I will have no data at all. Anyone got any ideas.
[Nexus 4 General] Bill Gamble:
Have you changed the network mode and APN as described in the op? Does your area have band 4 LTE?
[Nexus 4 General] qbanways:
Yes I did. And I have metro which is merged with t mobile and I'm on tmobiles network. I live in south Florida and we have plenty of LTE. I'm just having awful signal. I'll get 3g and sometimes H. But after a reboot or switching from WiFi, I get no data at all for 10 minutes. My signal is all over the place too. As we speak now I lost data for no reason. This was not happening before.
[Nexus 4 General] Berrydroidcafe:
There's a huge misconception that since T-Mobile and MetroPCS merged that both networks are one. Wrong! Until tmo says otherwise, there's two separate networks. :(
[Nexus 4 General] qbanways:
I understand that but metro uses CDMA which this phone does not have. Instead I use T-mobiles GMA, this goes for anybody who brings those types of phones to metro. I assure you, I'm on t-mobile's network. Either way, it does not explain why my radio is acting this way.
[Nexus 4 General] nicotheandroidguy:
T-Mobile owns Metro and is trying to move all metro network traffic on to the tmobile network that's why metro sells sim cards, most all of there phones run on gsm hspa and lte not cdma anymore. I think they are going to sell the cdma network or use the spectrum for hspa+ hopes this clears some network info.
[Nexus 4 General] sociojeje:
I'm using Tmobile and live in Savoy IL. After doing all the things in the OP (i'm with CM10) I still see 3g or H+ sign on the staus bar. Is it because my region is not covered by LTE or what? network mode is lte/gsm/wcdma and apn is tmobile us lte which is fast.t-mobile.com... I am using 33/84 hybrid radio.

Staying on HSPA+ After Call ends

First off great work thanks for the post, LTE speeds are great.

I understand from other posts that its normal for it to switch to HSPA during a call since T-mobile doesn't support voice over LTE

But i noticed is that in my case even after the call ends it doesn't switch back to LTE it stays on HSPA+ , i waited for it few minutes it doesn't seem to switch back to 4g.

The workaround i found to temporarily fix it is to go in *#*#4636#*#* and select LTE only under "Set preferred network type" to force it to switch to LTE and after a couple of seconds i select back "LTE/GSM auto" and it stays on LTE (until the next call at least)

Is that normal , or can it be fixed permanently ?

Thanks !

I m on T-Mobile , running 4.3 ( JWR66Y ) stock with the .33/84 hybrid radio baseband
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
Now that Straight Talk (AT&T) just announced they offer LTE with their service, has anyone run this All in One Enabler on the Nexus 4 with a newer sim card, and LTE became operational, assuming that you had band 4 in your area? If so, did you make any other changes aside from a different APN, and did you use the new Straight Talk APN as listed on their web site?. One thing in particular, I was wondering if the changes that are performed in the script specific to T-Mobile only, might have an adverse affect with AT&T.

T-mobile in Los Angeles.

I experimented with LTE on my Nexus 4 about 6 months ago and was very disappointed.

I decided to take the plunge back in this weekend and enable LTE on my Nexus 4.

This not only enable LTE but allows for internet access in area that was spotty before.

Where I live and work, download speed double when I get 4G - 14 - 20 Mbps.

Upload speed has increase 4-5 folds and I am now getting 10-13 Mbps while I was averaging 2-3 Mbps before with HSPA+.

I am a very happy camper. If this continues to improve, I might not need to upgrade the phone until Nexus 4 (version 3) :cool:

No LTE on Nexus 4, even after flashing .33 modem

I rooted my phone, unlocked my boot loader, installed a custom recovery and installed the .33 modem but I'm always stuck at UMTS. I tried different SIM's, flashed both modems but can't get anything faster than UMTS (H and 3G). I've added Rogers LTE APN manually too (I live in the Toronto area). I currently have the .33 hybrid modem, rooted with TWRP 2.6.3.0, and stock 4.3 OS. As a last resort, I flashed CM10.2 (nightly 20130915) with the correct GAPPS but it also stays stuck at 3G/H. I also forced LTE only from the phone info menu after dialling *#*#4636#*#*, but it does not connect. I just bought my Nexus 4 about 2 weeks ago. Giving up, I reverted back to my stock android 4.3 installation, since it has everything installed and ready to use. Am I missing anything? Do I have a lemon?
