I'm sure you guys can explain this..can T-Mobile just push an OTA to enable LTE or does it have to be greelighted by Google or somebody else? If tmo can do it, I don't see why they wouldn't.

Currently Google cannot legally do an lte update, there was never a FCC filing for lte capabilities.Google will first need to file and then probably do other paper work before nexus can be authorized.

There's nothing for them to do. All you need is .27 or .33 radio and not .48. Also it is not wise to use the unregistered lte device on the network, eventually T-Mobile will boot you off or maybe even blacklist the imei. I would suggest calling T-Mobile and asking for one of the higher reps that can offer some insight.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah didn't think about just changing versions...and as fat as T-Mobile they won't do anything, nor do they really care. My brother in law is a regional supervisor, handles our tristate area for years now. Said their only concern are phones that get bought from T-Mobile with the payment option and then being sold and account closed or suspended. They will and have been actively banning for them.

I don't see why you want LTE on the N4...it will cause your battery to drop ridiculously fast as it doesn't have a certain "amplifier" needed for LTE to function properly. I believe I read that on anandtech. I'll try to find the link and share.

LTE is a non-issue as this isn't a device sold with LTE support.
The sensors is from flashing the radio/baseband onto 4.2.1 builds. People will have to deal with it, or flash up to 4.2.2
These are not "problems" from Google as they are people causing it to themselves.

LTE wasn't approved by the FCC. Therefore, it wasn't mentioned as a feature of the phone.
The reason we could enable LTE was due to an oversight by LG or Google.
This update patches that oversight.
The phone is not suppose to carry LTE in first place. The fact that it works for some people whose carriers are on band 4 is bonus.
And issues, well those come with almost all phones. No point in defending any phone for things like this, but sadly things like this is part of almost any purchase of any thing. Forum like XDA is to get help, so you will get threads here about the problems. You will get far fewer threads which are there to praise the phone on daily basis. If you go to any device section here on XDA, you will get similar threads with issues some of the purchasers face. Those people are here to discuss those. THat sometimes paints the picture that phone is riddled with issues that everyone will face. It is hardly the case.
But if you still want to see enthusiastic threads, go checkout Indian nexus 4 thread That will show you cheerful side of things
Every hardware usually has some weak points, and hardware does break down. With the sheer number of devices sold, there will always be few that break down or are faulty. And you will find large number of those people finding their way here in search of solution. Relax, it is same with almost every phone.

There was a backdoor to get LTE if your provider had LTE on the AWS bands, the N4 was not approved or licensed to be used as an LTE device, it was just a matter of time before Google attempted to disable it. As for the other issues, it's incompatibilities between the new 4.2.2 stuff and 4.2.1 custom ROMs, this is why it's a bad idea to mix and match things like this, they aren't Google issues, all this stuff works just fine on stock 4.2.2 except LTE but that's not supposed to work.
If I understand correctly the radio issues happens only when you flash then on 4.2.1 correct? Then that's your problem, flash the full 4.2.2 and then if it's an issue that's a problem. Anyway I'm on paranoid android 4.2.2 and see no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Oh okay that clears a lot of things up then.
For some reason I thought people were already on 4.2.2 and having the issues didn't know they were still on 4.2.1 trying to flash the radio.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I have a feeling the biggest reason they pushed this 4.2.2 update was to take care of the lte so there wasn't any big lawsuit ...
But then again they really didn't because people can just revert to the baseband before...lol

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
There is many ways to become less frustrated than creating a new thread.
I don't think it's the phones fault.
I live and work in eastern MA where LTE has been rolling out for the last 6 months or so.
As I drive I bounce between 4G and 3G.
When it loses 4G but still good 3G around it takes forever to switch back.
Often it gets stuck in 1x or Data is just hung or broken.
Flipping radio off and on fixes it.
My htc evo 4g lte did the exact same thing.
This behavior also chews up battery.
I have now forced the phone to cdma only and it's way mote stable.
This happens all over, not just one location.
I had to force my htc evo 4g lte to cdma too.
I had weird issues also. I would be right near a 4g tower and kit would take forever to switch over. If you were traveling through the area it may never switch (as it happened a few times). Needless to say, sold my EVO back to Best Buy on the buyback program for $280 and switched to T-Mobile. Best decision ever. Great speed and coverage.

Meanwhile my lte is great. I think it kinda depends on your market at this point. Also the lte scan value is set to 300 on this phone. I think the evo was set lower, can't remember.

It takes my phone a few a little bit to switch when i go into NYC. Long Island does not have 4g yet but every time i go into the city once its switches over it seems stay steady. Just recently switched to Sprint, i had been a Tmobile customer for the last 6 year. As for there "4g" or data in general i never had good data indoors. It didn't really matter if i was in long island or visiting family in Chicopee ma. With sprint I am not running into this issue nearly as often.
Yep, I'm about to return mine and go back to tmobile. With 4 bars of 4g it still cycles between 4g and 3g, horrible. Because 3g is so bad that no internet radio would buffer, so I'd be working out at the gym and after about 2 songs it switches to 3g and no more music till I either cycle the phone, or airplane mode. And even if 4g is connected, rarely is it faster than 4mbps anywhere.

Lte is still brand new to sprint. And is growing very fast. Here in western Washington they set a schedule of 50 sites for 90 days ending in just about a week and we are right on schedule. My aie just reported that sprint set another schedule for 250 sites in 90 days. More sites means less crowded on the few sites they have now. Faster lte speeds, more stable/reliable and faster connection speeds when traveling. Sprint is converting every site to lte and when that happens, you can all stop your complaining. Currently lte is just a baby to sprint. Tmobile is a joke as a carrier. Sure their hspa+ is fast but don't expect to be ahead of the game once sprint and att finishes their lte rollout this year. And it's good for when you can actually use it lol. I travle all over the states and I've always had the best phones offered by each carrier and I wouldn't wish tmobile on my worst enemy.

Right... Specially when in many cities tmobile tests much better than sprint in just about everything? Sure, their device lineup wasn't the best, but with all the latest devices and the improvements tbeyve made, not to mention metro pcs acquisition...
Point is, go into any crowded city and you have dialup on sprint, even locations that they've already converted to lte are still deeply, T-Mobile will give you Better performance in most cases. Oh, and look st their lte rollout vs sprint, they are doing it way faster and more efficient.

At some point, people willstop buying into what sprint says. When wimax was rolling out every rep was told to sell $10 premium data fee as 4g fee, then, they start charging it for even a 3g device. Is the fee unreasonable? No, but the approach sprint took is messed up. Then, they scrap wimax, and I do get why, they had to, it wasn't really good to begin with. So wimax coverage gets smaller and markets end up relying more on already taxed backhaul, equalling in terrible data performance.
I can't tell you how many times they've had towers down with no eta on repairs in Colorado last year, was insane. Network vision does look good in theory, but those upgrades were planned years ago, before every tower was this massively overloaded.
And I agree, sprint is doing a lot to fix their issues, the fact that they plan to have lte on every tower is pretty awesome, definitely better than what T-Mobile will have with only hspa+ areas upgraded. So, if you go to rural areas a lot, then sprint may be the way to go. My problem is the timeline, you can't really have a network that barely gets 200kbps in a major downtown area during the day at this time and age. Their planned upgrades, are way behind schedule, check s4guru is pretty much shows how delayed it is becoming. Yet sprint keeps selling it as ahead of schedule... How?
Even Softbank says that sprint won't have the money to finish network vision unless their deal goes through, not s good sign.
T-Mobile isn't the best by any means, I do like their hspa network, it is fast! Even in dense areas I still maintain consistently high download speeds, regardless of the time of day. And I'm talking downtown Washington, Arlington, Denver, Atlanta, New York, Chicago. Their initial lte launch is covering up areas rather fast, even here in dc they already have s pretty substantial coverage, and it isn't even live yet.
Sprint called their cities live with 15% of sites upgraded, how misleading is that? When a consumer sees that sprint has lte coverage, what is their expectation? To have that service available most of the time... But if only 15-30% of sites are upgraded, is that going to happen? Unlikely

I'm unable to verify as there is no LTE where I am, but I suspect not.
Edit:
This from t-mobile's forums. It's not from an admin or t-mob rep, but I believe it to be accurate.
" The Xperia Z C6603 does not have the correct frequency bands to use T-Mobile's AWS or LTE. That said, if you are in an area where T-Mobile has refarmed their 1900 Mhz (2G) towers to HSPA+ you will be able to get slow 4G."

Nice to know that. Im tempted to flashing it. But was worried about lte. Maybe I give it a shot now.
Sent from my C6606 using xda premium
The hardware doesn't change, but that doesn't mean anything. Without the proper software to utilize the bands, it's moot.
Before I flashed 6603 firmware, my data icon said 4g with a small lte below it. After, there is only a 4g icon. Since there is no LTE in this area yet (although I just read reports that it is) I'm suspect as to what's going on. 5 to 10 mbps down is not 4g LTE . Those are HSPA+ speeds.
If I can find some confirmation from t-mobile that LTE is indeed 'round here then I might do some firmware testing.
Edit:
I stand corrected. According to Sensorly, T-mob rolled out LTE while I was sleeping and flashing 6603 does not affect the Xperia Z's ability to utilize that.

Funny fact. The branded versions got updated quick where the unbranded ones still for a lot of parts aren't updated. I know strange.

It can, and people have gotten it to work on other carriers. However, the main reason for doing so, IMHO, is primarily for people moving from sprint to some other carrier and not wanting to buy a phone right away, or even more so people who have sprint but who are going out of the country for vacation, study abroad, etc.
Chances are you will likely not be happy with the experience you have with a sprint one on AT&T because you won't get LTE, and in most places you won't even get 3g. The only time you will get data faster than EDGE/GSM is if you are in an area where they have HSPA+ running on the 1900MHZ spectrum, and those areas are far from ubiquitous.
Thanks bro. I heard it will get Hspa+ which I'm cool with, because I don't get LTE here anyways. Do u know how I would go about this? Or can point me in the right direction? Thanks bro.

More info it it here. You will have to be rooted of course.

so the on in Q&A is getting full of nothing so time to start one with the guide
I don't take any credit just posting,,,All credit goes to hotaru2k3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4572661) and Rimidal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1468774) for writing step by step and video
first off you need to be on stock sprint rom or base for this to work. also it will work on bad esn phones
1. You should be rooted
2. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run Terminal Emulator
4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission
5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)
6. You will get menu on your HTC
7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"
8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM
9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode

You won't get HSPA/HSPA plus unless its on the appropriate frequencies, and those frequencies are pretty rare on AT&T, though they do exist in some places. You might want to try to find out if they are what is around you.

But i'm saying just because you have HSPA+ on your AT&T branded one, that doesn't mean you will get it on the Sprint One. The AT&T one has more frequencies that it can pick up on for HSPA+, so it will get it anywhere AT&T offers it. The sprint one does not have as many frequencies, so getting it will be dependant on the frequency that its broadcast on.
Think of it like walkie talkies or hand held radios. ATT towers in your area maybe broadcasting on channel 4, and the ones in the next town may be on channel 6. If you have an AT&T walkie talkie, you would be able to pick up on those. But the sprint walkie talkie only has channel 6, so you won't get it at home, but you would in the next town. Does that make sense?

Of the many details leaked about the next nexus, is a rumor that it's coming to Sprint. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-5-leaked-in-new-image-revealing-side-panel-439334
What do you guys think? Assuming it's true, would you still stick with your HTC One?

I don't think I would take it on Sprint's network. I am getting it though, I plan on getting it unlocked and most likely on t mobiles network. I love my ONE. and have no issues with sprint :thumbup:, but I want to try the 'google ' experience again. Loved the galaxy nexus. Until it broke..

Is it possible for Google to release it compatible with Sprint, but updates come directly from them?

Most Nexus devices are updated with zero carrier intervention the day a new Android is released.

I love the One. But I love Google's products more. I'm so selling this phone when the Nexus is available.

I'll be getting one as well. If its on Sprint, even better...especially since it will be tri-band and compatible with Spark.
It already passed through the FCC supporting all of Sprint's cdma and lte bands among others, this was back in August before the info got pulled. So even though it hasn't been officially announced for sprint I don't see why it wouldn't come to sprint when it supports all of sprints frequencies.

Will not receive updates like gsm look what happened with the galaxy nexus
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
only thing im hesitant about is the weak IR blaster compared to the ONE and the lack of an awesome TV app!
if it has tri-band Sprint LTE, I'm dumping my One.
I'm almost certainly going to stick with my One, as the spec bump isn't big enough to justify switching, and I'm really enjoying this phone. However, what really excites me is that there is at least a chance now that going forward, nexus devices will be on sprint. I can wait and see how this one plays out, then at the end of next year when the nexus 5 squared or 6 or whatever it is is announced, I will have a cheaper, easier way to upgrade early. Also, should something catastrophic happen to my one, I would have the option to just get a nexus as well.
In the past all nexus devices for Sprint were released a year later then it's gsm counterpart. If this happens again then its a definite no from me.
Its already passed thru FCC with triband(Spark) so i getting it....
Eh it's a nice phone but I would get bored with it. There would be no reason to flash a Rom.
