[AT&T USERS] 4.2.2 Stops LTE from working!

Early reports state LTE doesn't stick.

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

What do you mean network. The service is Net10
It worked on stock but when I flashed cyanogenmod I just see HSPA+ NOT 4G

Oh, alright. If you're coming off the att stock ROM, the 4G icon in that is HSPA+ and the 4G LTE icon in the att rom would show as 4G in cyanogen. My guess is you never had LTE to begin with and it's just a matter of how it's named

The phone is capable of getting LTE, it's just that net10 doesn't have LTE service.

Rumor has it AT&T's not going to pick it up, so we'll have to see if Sony sells it like they did the ZL on their site. If it goes to (only) Tmobile that could really screw it up for AT&T users like it did the XZ I imagine. Since Tmobile's coverage is getting better and their HSPA+ speeds supposedly blow away AT&T I might be switching.......

I don't care if AT&T is going to carry it, all I care about is sony releasing a model that will work with AT&T LTE lol :good:

Look at gsm arena. There's like 3 different models. Look for the 700 band one then buy that model

U need the c6906 for Att lte. Is the only one of the 3 that supports the 700 MHz band for Att LTE
I've been looking few online stores and so far none of them are advertising it. With the exception of the other 2 the c6903 and the other one. I emailed Handtec let's see what they reply. I asked negrielectronics and they Dont have that model to present order. Let's keep searching.

On GSM arena it says that all models support 1700 but like you said AT&T only uses that in some markets.

Sony said it was coming to the US so we might have to wait to get it direct from sony and it should be cheaper too.

Yea. Hate waiting tho. Lol. When the xz came out sony USA started selling it about 2 months or more later. I remember cause I bought the international version

I think sonystyle is only gonna sell the HSPA+ version, since it's rumored that Tmo is gonna have an exclusive on the LTE version.
Just like the Xperia Z, smh

It could be time for at&t to pick up Z1 because tmo already has Z like GS4 Active is at&t exclusively.

Seems most likely this time, both ZU and Z1's NA variant will be available in Oct.

As I know, C6906 could be confimed with Bell Mobility(LTE) and Rogers(LTE) in CANADA.
No information about the device for US currently

They said its and ocataband LTE phone and that it will work with all current LTE carriers..? At least that is what Clove says. Soo, were not fully confirmed it will have AT&T LTE..?

I wish that was the case, but the one on Clove lists the bands as:
4G Yes
Frequencies Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20
It is octaband, but we need another band for AT&T. Oh the irony!
Unfortunately for AT&T, we need Band 17.

Will Spice Dream UNO work in USA?

Hi All,
I may travel to USA soon. I am planning to use my Spice dream UNO there. Does our phone work in USA?
Please let me know. I don't want to buy a new phone. I am very happy with CM11 in dream UNO
Thanks

The only info I can find so far is that it is a gsm/hspa phone. It should work but I don't know what bands it uses. If you know please list them.

As per GSM Arena the frequencies are
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

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

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
