Hey everyone,
I'm using the Nexus 4 on Telus, and I'm having issues connecting to Telus' DC-HSPA+ network. I've checked under status and the only thing it ever shows is HSPA+:15. I'm aware that it needs to display HSPA+:24 in order to use the DC-HSPA network. Has anyone on Telus been able to connect or have some kind of information on why it isn't working with the Nexus 4?
HSPA+:15 gives me speeds similar to DC-HSPA on T-Mobile US

Just wondering how to check HSPA+ status?

Hi there,
I bought online the 32gb version of Nexus 7 with 3g capability.
Actually I'm leaving in Australia using it with a Vodafone prepaid microsim with data bundle and the navigation is not fast like in mine galaxy nexus i9250. First of all during the internet navigation I noticed Nexus 7 switch between 3g and H always so i checked with network widget if there are differences in connection speed with Galaxy Nexus that is working with Vodafone as well.
I discovered unfortunately my nexus 7 is always in HSPA with a speed of 700-1700kbps and my Galaxy Nexus works in HSDPA o HASPAP with a speed of 1.4 Mbit - 14Mbit or 10Mbit - 20Mbit in the second case.
So is it possible to force the Nexus 7 to operate at higer speed ?
Thank you in advanced

I have exactly the same problem. On my galaxy nexus i get hsdpa and hspa+ depending network load. With the nexus 7 3g I only get hspa. I tested with two providers and both gave the same results.
Anyone have any ideas how we can get the nexus to use hspa+?
Running 4.2.2 with 1231_0.17.0_1205
When you make this comparison, are you using the same SIM in both devices? Same APN?

Exactly same thing here!
Navigation speeds seems ok, but downloads are slower than my smartphone on the same network.
According to my carrier, my 3G (HSPA, HSDPA, HSPA+) signal is located on 2100Mhz Frequecy...

I dont know if this is possible, bit I'm thiking that the tablet only works HSPA+ on 1700MHz or 1900MHz.
Because these frequencies are the most used in USA for 3G connection.
Can someone comfirm this?

Mine gets HSPA+ on 850 MHz from Bell Canada, but apparently only regular HSPA on Wind Canada's AWS band network.

That's interesting...
But you are really sure that in your region Bell uses 850MHz for HSPA+? Because they use the 1900MHz too...
Just asking...
Is there a way to email Google about this? Maybe a Software correction can fix this, because the frequency is supported, and maybe some upgrade on baseband (modem settings) can enable HSPA+ on other frequencies, like 2100MHz...
Regards!
I have a phone that can select bands between 850, 1900 and usually when I check, the default band it's connecting to is 850. I could cross reference when I have a moment to try it out.

Thank you very much...
Could you post a screenshot of the status screen, showing the HSPA+ connection?
I'm trying to colect informations to solve this issue...

At work I'm only getting HSPA:10 but that still translates to 8200/1900 speeds. I'll look into it when I'm home.

How I wish have that speeds on my devices...
In my smartphone with HSPA+, I got 5Mbps/1,2Mbps
On the Nexus 7 (regular HSPA) 2Mbps/1mbps
Unfortunately, the only device I own which is capable of selecting individual radio bands is not cooperating anymore with the SIM card that I use in my tablet. So I wouldn't be able to tell you whether it's running on 850 or 1900. Also, I could have sworn that in the past I have seen the tablet report HSPA+, but at the moment it is consistently reporting only HSPA. Nonetheless, I am still getting exemplary speeds.

hi guys
reviving this thread as i have just noticed my N7 2012 only showing HSPA not HSPA + but my moto g using the same sim & apn shows HSPA+, i am in singapore if that helps
can someone please link me to the URL that makes the nexus 4 on LTE share LTE using hotspot, i can hotspot but it will only work on GSM mode(speeds are really slow if its NON LTE speeds), if i try it on LTE mode , the device can connect to my nex4 hotspot but it won't get any internet
im on the Rogers network in canada
thanks
The Nexus 4 does not really truly support LTE so this is one of the issues, unfortunately there is no application to do such thing.
Have you switched to a 4G plan?

i have LTE on my nexus 4 using the hybrid .33 modem flash, i want to get LTE speeds via Hotspot sharing, but can't, it only connects when i have 3g or H (GSM auto PRL)
my device ( nex7 tablet, can connect to the hotspot but it won't get internet) when im on LTE(nex 4 lte mode) rogers apn ltemobile.apn

Works fine with Bell LTE
For what its worth, my Nexus 4 with 4.3 and the .33/.84 hybrid modem works fine with the hotspot feature and the phone operating on LTE. I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada (Bell Canada) so I think more of a carrier specific limitation.

Basically I'm swing two different things on my nexus 4 about my network settings. The note I'm in UK on three service provider and in strong area where I get 8-18 Mbps down and 2 up on (h). Here's my issue when i type: *#*#4636#*#* this shows: network type - umts. But in the settings on about phone this shows: mobile network type hspa. Take note I'm on wcdma prefered. Am I just being a noob or is there something not right. And ibfound this when my speeds dropped to about 5 to 11 Mbps down but this was during 11pm to 2 am. Can anyone help I've tried every other option like changing band to LTE and CDMA and gsm but nothing works and thanks.

Like the topic says, I installed the following:
[AOSPA 4.4.2 KVT49L] PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ G2 [beta6]
And latest Gapps.
Phone works fine, but with my T Mo sim installed the best I can get is HSPA+. I am in an LTE area btw, my T Mob HTC One gets the signal just fine.
One other abnormality, the baseband version in the settings shows: "unknown" but the phone does still work

Thats not what I've read on multiple occasions. The device does have 3 (i think) LTE bands (2 of which T mobile uses). Now I might just not be in an area where those bands the device already has are used, this I don't know.
Best I have been able to get is H+
As far as i know, tmobile only uses one band for LTE which is one of the 2 bands that att use... but verizon is on a totally different one...

Right, however regardless of if I'm in an LTE area at my house or not, the phone should still show info for things like: Phone number (currently unknown).
This is the video that explains the process of turning a Vz G2 into a T_Mo LTE capable phone:

i got my Nexus 4 as a replacement phone for Tmo SG2 from t mobile. Now i am thinking of switching my network to H2O wireless which works in att network ...i know Nexus 4 must come unlocked but since i got it from t mobile...is it unlocked or tied to t mobile?? also how good is H2O wireless if anyone knows... which would be better H2O or simple mobile? i am leaning towards H2O because it works with att network and att has better network than t mobile. please correct me if i am wrong. will lte work with H2O?
i know it's lot of questions i just don't want to regret after switching my network.
Thanks in advance.
