[AT&T USERS] 4.2.2 Stops LTE from working! - Nexus 4 General

Early reports state LTE doesn't stick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37963759&postcount=13
Those of you on AT&T might want to wait/flash the older radio.

Sounds like if you have root you can flash 4.2.1 radio to get it back though.

Yes they will stick on the LTE/GSM, LTE/XXX settings, but you won't get a LTE connection from those settings.

Bummer but since I have no LTE in my area no biggie

I can confirm that it no longer works and that the above posted is true. Does anyone have the 4.2.1 radio?

Yes it does. I'm able to choose LTE Only. Can't test if it works for sure as I don't have an LTE plan.

I got this official answer from Google Regarding LTE incompatibility on new radio.
"Nexus 4 hardware and software were not designed to be compatible with LTE, and future LTE capability on today's Nexus 4 will not be possible because of hardware and software incompatibilities. We've heard reports that some users have reconfigured their Nexus 4 to enable LTE under rare circumstances, but it is uncertified and unsupported."

I live in an ATT area, but Not in one that has a frequency that works on the N4, so it's good to see you guys brought back to earth lol. JK that sucks wish I could use LTE

It suck big time. Especially since you buy something knowing LTE can be turned on and then the company that made a device that's so open to everyone, now makes an update specifically fuking up the LTE.
This is exactly what Apple would do, nice going Google

HTC J One (HTL22)

Hi,
I'm use a One X right now and really want to lose the X
I hate HTC for not integrating a SDCard slot in the international versions of the One, and really like the japanese One (HTL22). I might buy that one.
Few questions though I hope someone could answer: Does the HTL22 have a SIM lock? And will it be able to use LTE on dutch networks?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
/Cacti
I am planning to do the same. I am considering Japanese variant of HTC One (HTC J One)

So far I've tried flashing android revolution 10.3 and TrickDroid 7.5 with no luck. That could be my noobness; this is my first Android phone. But it seems that it's perhaps too different to be properly accommodated. It's special enough to require a special build of TWRP.
The tool for unlocking the bootloader and getting s-off works well, though.
And as for the OP's question: I'm pretty certain it's sim locked. But I'm not sure. Is there an easy way to tell? Pretty much all phones here in Japan are locked.

Still can't figure out if LTE would be possible, but since my Phone usualy don't last longer then 1 or 2 years I guess I would take that chance; the 4G/LTE is coverage is still low in The Netherlands. And 3G is sufficient for me for now.

Sprint lied! Wi-Fi calling app is exclusive to T-Mobile and is integrated in the framework on the T-Mobile phone. Therefore can't just be installed on another phone.
Now there are other options like Google voice or another 3rd party app. You can download then off the playstore. They'll allow you to make phone calls over Wi-Fi, but give you a new number as well.

Hey i learned something new today. Sprint did start offering Wi-Fi calling in Feb it was exclusive to T-Mobile for a long time; however he still lied to you because the only phones that are showing capable are the mega, s4 mini, note 3, s4

[Q] Sprint Nexus 6 and Airave/PRL issues?

My mom's Sprint Motorola Nexus 6 has issues with the Airave at our house, which I'm used to. Where we live is a no-service-zone for Sprint (rural Maine) so we have an Airave signal booster. I know that the PRL has to be updated to get any new phones to see the Airave, but I've updated the PRL several times, and it will usually see the Airave and connect for a day or so, then disconnect randomly and require a PRL update. Anyone have any idea of what's causing the phone to forget/change the PRL? thanks

Which Radio works best on Airtel - India?

I am on Chroma 24 Oct build, having MDM9625_104662.22.05.27R Radio, I am getting frequent Signal drops and LTE is patchy at the best specially in Delhi and NCR region. Has anyone else experienced this and have you been able to solve this and did you flash a different Radio? I am on Airtel.
All the help would be appreciated guys.
Thanks.
I'm on same radio and I'm in Baton Rouge. Great for me but some aren't. Base your radio on signal. Try a different one. Or two. Maybe find out what radio comes with the stock update in your area.

Was kind of hoping that someone in India on the Nexus 6, Airtel service provider, would be able to advise me what works best. Would wait and see if someone has already tried this option, else will flash a couple of radios and see what works best.
Thanks.

That's not how it works. How well someone gets a signal depends on a massive lost of variables. Being in the same.country and on the same.network doesn't come close to being enough. No one on your network will.have identical experiences with a radio.
All you can do is try them. There are no shortcuts.
Thank you
You're welcome.

Hello @vishalmmehra
Its not a baseband problem.
Actually LTE is still Under Development in Delhi.
You will face signal drops very frequently
Though you can try turning back to WCDMA aka 3G.
I don't think you will face issue again but if you, don't forget to mention me or my bud @blueyes for help

Sanyam Jain aka MIB007

Airtel 4g support in Mumbai for nexus 6
Hi, facing same problem with airtel service in Mumbai. The service is not started in all areas and as confirmed with airtel, they are using 40band 2300mhz frequency. While nexus 6 supports 41band 2800mhz frequency, hence airtel people said to me that nexus 6 is NOT COMPATIBLE
Is there any solution to it (for using 4g on nexus 6)? I am running on stock mm.
Thanks in advance.
Had a big fight over this issue anyways came to a conclusion that it will not support unless they enable Band 3 for Mumbai circle.
in simple words find attached files they have 2 bands Band 3 and 40 and only 40 is enabled for Mumbai which is not supported by NExus 6 Nexus 5 .

Thanks so much I had to change network because of this issue, recently rejoined Vodafone and now m able to see the H symbol and not only the symbol, the speed is considerably fast. Also in mumbai they are going to start 4G services on the band that Nexus 6 supports. So its a good news for shamu users

Doesn't matter for me really.

Yea the icons change no lte icon should be a h+ or i got just a 4g icon. U can change from open for instance to att and ule get the att icons.

Yes they do but they are yet to rollout the 4g or lte in my area, I am just preparing for that, let's see if they ll operate lte on the same bands as the ones I this phone.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions and help
Will update you by the end of this month, that's the time when they are gonna roll out the lte
Btw did you notice, once you set it to OPEN the call settings crashes always.
And the best thing is you get genuine 2g 3g 4g icons with the build prop edit. Sprint is known to be such a PITA as their network keeps showing a fake 3g icon even if you are on 1x,
For me that's a big relief with gsm ans these OPEN icons
Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
Lol edit. I didnt ever notice. Shows how much i play in them. I had. A g2 on sprint i opened gsm and let me tell you. When u switch to open. Loads of bugs. Thats part of why we need a ul bootloader. Cloudy fa rom justins rom and a straight tmobile rom unlocked g2 with no bugs. My problem is ive bought 4 or 5 phones since ive had this horrible thing. But in the end the g4 runs better. Heck i was runnin a ps1 and ps2 emulator last nite and man if it dont run great. Neither of them were lagging. I even got my ps3 control to link to the g4. I gave up a gs5 active but there was absolutly no root or anything on it. Shoulda kept the g4 stylus. It was pretty ritecheous but oh well
