Chipset problems

Nexus 4 Transceiver chipset is Qualcom WTR1605L, same as Nexus 5 and it still DID NOT support all LTE bands.

Apparently you need PAs (Power Amplifiers) for certain bands accompanied with modems too. This shall increase battery consumption in return, this is why Google couldn't support all LTE bands on their D820 editions.

The Avago ACPM-7251 chipset is the PA of the Nexus 4, supported two UCMTS/LTE bands 1 & 5 - this is how some users were able to flash Nexus 4 devices and lock on LTE bands in Canada - and It totally depends on the PA of the D820, which we still don't know what it's going to be.﻿

Please check the tear-down of the Nexus 4.

Conclusion: It's a hardware problem and CAN NOT be simply fixed by flashing the ROM; but we still have to wait and see the new PA of the device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Slightly off topic, but how is it cheaper? You'll have to pay import tax on the US one if you ship it internationally, so it ends up more expensive...?

Seems you're making it a lot harder for yourself. Just buy the right one for your region as it'll cost the same and you'll have a valid warranty.

Not quite true, a 16GB N5 costs 399 euro`s in the Netherlands and i ordered a US 32GB model by a friend wich will cost me 370 euro`s total including shipping.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
But you've only achieved that price by evading import tax into the EU by going via your friend.

You could've got it for nothing if you stole it.. doesn't mean it's the 'cheapest' way :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
i thought PAs were for different frequencies not bands

Sorry, frequencies within the bands.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
Actually, I always purchase devices from US playstore shipping to Delaware (no tax from online stores when shipping to this state) and using a forwarding shipment (about 14$/KG) to ship it to my country

So, in case of nexus 5 (32GB) the cost will be = 399$ + (shipping to delaware) + 14$ (shipping to Saudi Arabia) = 425$ (about 267 British pound or 314 euro)

UK playstore = 339 GBP (including £58.16 VAT) + £10 shipping + 14$ shipping to KSA = 358£ (573$) (418 euro)

573$-425$= Saving 148$ when purchasing from US

Now, if I could refund the VAT (since I'm not from UK) the difference in cost between UK & US = 148$ - (£58.16) 93$ = 55$

Not that much but I don't know how to refund VAT
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorbakun:
What shipping forwarding company are you using?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
Our local post made some agreement with a US shipping company (iparcel) so it can forward the parcels from USA to KSA as a middle company, unfortunately it will apply only to the local people who have a valid home address, they are very slow by the way but cheaper than any other alternatives.

Hi

The chip is the ACPM 7600 according to the service manual. Can't seem to find any info on this.

The 7600 was used on the Galaxy Note 3, supported both 3G and LTE bands.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo976:
Here in Israel the N5 16gb (D821) costs $800... LTE is a pipe dream anyhow due to fights between the carriers and Min. of Communications over band allocation... With tax and shipping to NYC its $390... I think I'm OK with evading the import tax $125 (35%) and $275 premium for a two year warranty? for a new phone which I generally get every year... by ordering and sending it with my sister who comes next month...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Thats correct, no Euro LTE (D821) on a US device (D820) :( The only common band on both devices is Band 5 which isn`t used in Europe afaik.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Base on the wiki LTE charts, Switzerland use LTE bands 3, 7 and 20, which the North America version do not support, so no LTE. You should cancel the order.

Totally unfair! got really disappointed when the LTE didn't work :crying:

I still hope its a matter of flashing the radio, anyone out with a D821? i can try it on the D820
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_59:
I believe if you inform the seller that you live outside the EU then your purchase should be vat free.

However any saving should be considered against the likelihood of difficulty in obtaining warranty repairs if the seller is not in your home country.

Also be aware of different LTE bands in North American version to international/EU version, as it seems to me that Google / LG would be unlikely to produce two versions if software configuration could be changed to enable different LTE bands
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phunctionist:
Does anybody know if it's at all possible to order a D821 version through the US Play Store? I'm chnaging from N4 to N5 anyway... buying from the US Play store. LTE is not so "evolved" here (Romania) but just throught it would be nice to have the version that could be used with whatever LTE we (will) have over here.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
Here, they are trying

Hope it will work, if they success I'll buy the US version
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameer456:
Emailed google, they said they can only give me VAT invoice so I can use it to refund the VAT from UK authorities

How? That I don't know sadly!

about warranty: this is not the first time I purchase from abroad, nor it will be the last time! of course there are risks but -for years- it has already saved me a lot of $$$$$ and the only time that I returned a bad device is "iPhone 3G with WiFi problem"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tasked28m:
ok somehow i fixed this. I followed the instructions using twrp recover. Only difference is that after i recovered modem and radio through custom twrp method, i used cf autoroot to get stock recovery back then used the update.zip posted in another forum, to update through sideload and it worked. Back in stock 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] slackwaresupport:
which update.zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tasked28m:
the 4.3 update.zip that got pulled out of someones phone before he fully updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3. You can find the zip file in the General section i think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tasked28m:
I was on stock 4.2.2 got the update and went to 4.3. Then i flashed a 4.3 tw kernel and everything got screwed. After that i went followed the instructions found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47113608#post47113608. First i recovered boot , then system , then modem then radio through twrp using the files found there. After that i booted used the cf auto root to go back to stock recovery. Phone was still doing the boot loop up to this point. Then i figured out that the backup was probably a 4.2.2 backup so i used adb sideload to install update.zip. After that i wipe data/factory reset and it booted just fine. Ok lost everything but phone works now like new.

Could not find anything related to this so will just ask.

I am currently on CarbonROM and have TWRP as my recovery. I have read that with Android 4.4, you will less problems flashing it over 4.3 if you are on CWM rather than TWRP.

So can I just flash the latest CWM over my current TWRP using the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-mako.img ?

Thank you in advance.

If you want to download the update yourself via the phone's built in OTA tool, you'll need to use the GooglePE CID. If you keep SuperCID, you'll be able to apply the OTA using fastboot by booting into the RUUTool. You'll just have to wait for someone else to grab and host the OTA Zip.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twotimer:
I hate to tell you that, but it's near to impossible to change the digitiser ONLY on most modern devices in general and on Nexus 7 in particular.

I had a damaged screen (lcd was damaged as well), so I ordered the whole assembly on aliexpress. I then tried to take apart the broken assembly just to see if I can. Well, as numerous sources say, digitizer is glued to the lcd with a really dense and sticky glue. You need a blow drier and a string to separate them. If you miraculously manage to separate the two without ruining your lcd, you will need to attach the lcd to the replacement digitizer, but i'm not sure the digitizer comes with a glue layer.

On the other hand, replacing the whole assembly is relatively easy, but yes, the price is around $60 shipped (from China).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JB_:
So in other ways you need a bit luck and be a very patient person? :)

Isn't there already a screen and digitizer assembled that you just can order and switch with the old one without having to split the screen and hold on and tinkering?

Guess it will be a bit more expensive if there is but it surely can not cost as much as a new one?

So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.
