[POLL] Nexus 4 GPS Affected by LTE (Canada Only)

I haven't got my Nexus 4 yet but I saw mixed comments made here and there that enabling LTE will result in GPS unable to lock at all.
What is your experience? Google Map still works with accurate location reporting? Google Now working or not?
What did you set the LTE to? LTE/GSM/CDMA? or LTE only? etc
Maybe indicate which provider you are with, looks like it is also a factor to consider.
Post your results, comment and lets tabulate the information.

GPS locking in less than 10 seconds on average.
Google Maps and Google Now work as expected.
Network type set to LTE/GSM.
Provider is Bell

I like what you have just reported, I am on Bell too, still waiting for my shipping email. Did you cut your SIM or did you get a new one for the Nexus 4?

I just went to a Bell store and picked up an LTE sim for $5. After I received the phone I went to mybell.ca and transferred the service to the new sim - took less than 5 mins.

GPS works perfectly fine. It is the cell tower location that doesn't work!
Go into your settings and disable GPS and Wifi and try going to Maps and you shouldn't get a location.
This has been discussed greatly in the LTE thread.
- *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Settings shows an Unknown under location and no neighbouring CID
- Since there is no location, Google Now fails to load properly
- HSPA establishes all locations as it should. Check *#*#INFO#*#* again

What is the real problem for Google Now? cant it get the location from GPS directly?

That's that I think. If you open Maps with GPS on, then get a lock in. The location will save into your cache or whatever. So if you open Google Now right after it will grab your location.

If you use the build.prop method and never touches your APN setting you will be fine after master reset. (Except rogers and fido cos they have different APN for lte)

Wouldnt you need to add the APN for Bell too? I do know for a fact that Bell's HSPA and LTE share the same APN, but is the APN built into the stock ROM already?

Quick question. I'm on Bell too. I have an LTE SIM. I called and had my account upgraded to LTE... but I'm getting no love. When I change it to LTE/GSM, I get signal bars but no data connection.
I have not changed the APN.
Ideas?

I said in my post that I have an LTE SIM.

On the topic of issues with LTE on the Nexus 4 and Bell. Does anyone have an issue where you would have no radio after a reboot? And then it works after another one.
This seems to happen after I enabled LTE/GSM/CDMA.

Happened once for me. I am on CM10.1, i have a button on my notification for enabling LTE, remainder of the time i stay on HSPA

I'm on Fido with rooted stock rom and haven't encountered any issues, then again, I haven't really done any extensive testing, I'll keep an eye on the GPS lock over the next few days and see if I get anything out of the ordinary.

so no one else is having issues with the gps when they are on LTE?
i'm on rogers in toronto... when i set preferred network to any of the LTE network settings my gps fails, gps works fine when its set to the default WCDMA preferred.
google now and any apps using gps locations fail for me on the LTE network... anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I added these lines to build.prop in the flashable zip file's build.prop's end:
Code:
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
Factory reset the phone, and then flash the zip and gapps. in the Settings -> System -> Notification drawer -> Widget buttons
you can find LTE button there.
Once LTE is toggled, it hops on to LTE after a delay, it stays on HSPA+ first for about good 15-30 seconds before it shows full 4G and LTE in the settings.
Google Now works most of the time like this, but if you stay on LTE for too long, the location cache gets reset, Google Now wont get location until you go back to HSPA+

OnePlus 7 Pro International Version & TMobile

Has anyone had any problems with using the International Version with TMobile? Did you have any issues? Wifi Calling and whatnot?

I only just made the switch today and I've been using it like the last 5-6 hours, so I can't really attest to signal strength away from home. That being said, my data speeds on LTE are consistent with what I had on the T-Mobile firmware (here at home), and WiFi calling may actually be working better now (not joking here, but again, very early here). VOLTE is working as it should as well. Call waiting is broken on T-Mobile, no matter what firmware you have... So this issue persists and it's known on the OnePlus Community forums.
I should also mention there is no quick setting to turn WiFi calling off (nor anything in the regular settings menu). Seems the only way to turn WiFi calling off would be to turn off WiFi, or use the log kit app (dialer code) to get into engineering settings.
Everything seems really good for me so far. I'll update in a day or so. When I go to work, my LTE download speeds break 100mbps... Let's see if that continues with the international firmware.

I'm about to switch back to the international version as soon as I make a backup and copy it to my laptop. I don't remember if there was a quick setting tike for it or not. I don't use wifi calling so I didn't pay a lot of attention to see if there was a quick setting tile.

The international firmware does have *working* WiFi calling w/ T-Mobile, though the setting is kinda of hidden within the dialer app's settings menu (3 for button up at the top right, see screenshots). This is also where the VOLTE setting is found. Took me a while to find because there's like two different "SIM" settings menu, and I thought they were the same thing.
There is, however, NO quick settings tile. Perhaps an app like System UI Tuner or something similar could resolve that though.

Any way to set data to use LTE only (and not 2G/3G)?

I'm missing the option to set my device to 4G only. Under "Settings" -> "Network & internet" -> "Mobile network" -> "Preferred network type" I can switch only between "2G/3G/4G" and "2G/3G". I miss further options and especially to set it on "4G" or LTE only. Because my network provider is pretty bad at 3G but quite good at 4G, even when 3G signal is much stronger and 4G signal is weak.
I don't care if I can't take voice calls in this mode.
Edit: I see there are apps on the store to do this. Though would be great to do it within the ROM.

My old phone did, when LTE signal was weak (but still available), and I assume, any other phone will do so as well. But data was much more reliable within 4G than 3G, even when signal was weak.
I play a gps-based online multiplayer game and whenever someone complained about bad data, I hinted to set their phone to LTE only.

If u want to play game while having mobile data only mode activated then use option mobile data only in "game genie" while playing a game and option appears on either side of the phone to activate no calls no alerts option along with the one you are looking for.
Hope it helps.

Anyone knows the actual difference between 4G and 4G+ icon on top bar? I've got the international version with MEO provider (Portugal), and I never saw the 4G+ icon active.

4G+ Means LTE-Advanced aka True 4G, and it is faster than 4G. The only difference is the maximium theoretical speed, bandwidth and minimium latency you can get. 4G can reach speeds up to 100Mbit/s, while the 4G+ (LTE-A) can reach up to or over 1GBit/s, with less than a few milliseconds of latency.

Volte/WiFi calling

Hi, guys.
Just wondering if any of you have working VOLTE/WIFI calling on your Pixel 5.
I'm on Vodafone UK and none of these are working, I don't get the options for the two in Network settings.
Apparently, they are not provisioned ATM.
Have you had more luck with your operators?

Yeah, I had a feeling going with Vodafone is a mistake...

Working here with O2. They have a guide on the Vodafone website for the Pixel 4 so can't see why it doesn't work with the 5. https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk...ress the phone icon.&text=Press Wi-Fi calling.

Well, it's Vodafone. Apparently one of their geniuses has to add a line of code somewhere..
Anyway, the guide for P4 asks for activation from within the phone app's settings and the Wifi calling/Volte settings are missing from there on the Pixel 5.

Wifi Calling
works on my P5, also a 3 user
option is found under Settings, Network and Internet, Mobile Network, Advanced, Wi-Fi Calling

I'm on Vodafone and I don't have settings for WiFi calling either. Funnily enough when I got text message from Vodafone to download internet settings they didn't even have the pixel 4a/ 4a 5g or 5 on there.. so that's probably why people on Vodafone can't enable it because Vodafone themselves haven't added the phones on for WiFi calling

Okay so update for Vodafone users, I got it working.
Following the second link above, 1. Go into Vodafone app and turn off WiFi calling, restart phone. 2. Go back into Vodafone app and turn back on WiFi calling (wait for 3/5 minutes and then restart phone again (you should receive a text from Vodafone saying it's enabled on your account). 3. Go to call app > settings> calls>WiFi calling>enable.
It also shows on networking settings in advanced now too.
Now I'm connected to WiFi calling, hope this helps Vodafone users

It works for me now. Just try the following:

At least they have in my case.

What an arse i am, turns out the other caller was using their phone on speakerphone, made a few calls since and VoLTE is working just fine on BT Mobile.

Neither is working for me as well, but was working fine on my old phone.
What I noticed on my device is that it came from Google with the "KDDI only" build on it(see https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/help/kddi-variant-t4178033), which I suspect might be related to the issue.

Question WIFI calling

HI all,
As noted in the product pages and other information about the 5a, its being sold directly via Google. Has anyone ever figured out how to add WIFI calling to these devices?
I am under the impression if you want wifi calling on a certain network you MUST purchase a phone from that network (IE pixels, Samsungs etc).

I didn't really think about it. It "just works" for me on Mint, an MVNO on T-Mobile. I did use the USB-cable based method to migrate settings from the old phone to the pixel 5a before moving my SIM. But I don't think that was needed.
I was already using it w/ a previous phone, having gone to the Mint website to get the feature provisioned for my subscription. That phone was a retail phone I bought direct from Motorola, also not connected to Mint nor T-Mobile in any way. Originally, Once I provisioned it at Mint, the WiFi-Calling settings became available under Network settings in the phone.

Wifi Calling is working fine on Verizon.

Worked on AT&T pretty smoothly. Flipped the Wi-Fi calling switch under settings. Agreed to some at&t custom pages about 911, and 10 seconds later was calling on wifi.

Haven't been able to enable wifi calling with AT&T. Getting error EDS0060.

My T-Mobile US is working with wifi and 5g, no problems. I bought from Google to avoid crapware and locks from TMO.

I looked for the Wifi switch under settings and had none. It was the same with my Pixel 3a as well, and I am using Cricket. Signal at work sux so wfi calling would be good. I'm not there very often.
Still would be nice to have.

They hide it well - they don't want people to turn it off as it saves them a lot of bandwidth if everyone connects through their own wifi instead of a cell tower. Go to Settings/Network & internet/ then hold down Mobile Network for a bit, then go to bottom and select Advanced and look towards the bottom for Wifi Calling.

Thank You! I didn't realize you needed to hold the Mobile networks for a bit. Last time I just tapped it, went to advanced and nada. This time I found the switch and started activating wifi calling but errored out. I'll ty again later.

I don't think I can help further. Cricket is AT&T and does support wifi calling; the Pixel should be able to support their version. OTOH it may not be supported with your SIM card - if it is old you may want to see if you can get a new SIM card - just one possibility. There is a reason that wifi calling was not "on" by default. Edit: I assume your 5a came direct from Google, as mine did. Phones sold by network operators do have some modifications.
