.33 radio on 4.2.2 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have any problems with this?
I haven't updated to 4.2.2 yet because I want to keep LTE

Yeah it works fine, but you will need to unlock the bootloader if you have not already.

I understand but I heard that GPS stops working, I use GPS a lot so I'm hesitant to update to 4.2.2 and flash .33

AW: .33 radio on 4.2.2
Didn't hear about problems with .33 on 4.2.2

Old os with new radio = no good:thumbdown: New os with old radios =ok:thumbup:

just updated and no problem
noticed no problem in a week..
gps keeps working..

For the last few days I was running 4.2.2 with the old .33 radio and that screwed up my phone. I lost the basic feature to make calls. I could dial but I could not hear it ringing. When the other person would puck up the phone, I didn't hear anything and I couldn't even talk through the mic. I thought my mic was broken but it was the freaking baseband. After I flashed baseband.48, it fixed the problem!

When I went to 4.2.2 and then flashed my radio down, I lost the ability to hear phone calls, or them hear me. As soon as I went back to .48 (whatever the stock newest one is), it worked fine again. I also had a lot of signal drops with both .33 and I think it was .24? More than usual that is : \

No problems.. I only use GPS for Cerberus app

I've also had no issues for using .33 Radio on 4.2.2
I've had multiple phone calls with no issues.
Tested GPS in the wild (while in car) and no issues.
Data works fine in the wild (when not connected to Wifi)
Does the flash method make a difference? Flashing via TWRP vs. Flashing using fastboot command?
I used fastboot myself to copy the radio.img over.

Updated to 4.2.2 and realized I had lost access to LTE with the new radio. I switched back to .33 and haven't had any issues.

Is it worth updating Nexus 4?

Hi guys, I just bought my nexus 4. I'm really hesitant in updating because I also own a nexus 7 and when I updated that, my tablet was just flawed from left to right so I ended up downgrading it back to 4.1.2. Also, I hear that there is a way to enable LTE, but that with the new update the LTE function goes away? I would really appreciate to hear you guys' opinions. Thanks!

I updated my Gnex and my Nexus 7 but i won't update my Nexus 4, i wanna keep my lte connection, it's up to you, if you don't need lte go ahead and update.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Even if you do update to the latest you can still flash a different radio which will give you the option to use lte.
Oh ok just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't lose the LTE option. Does the new update have any flaws? Or are u happy with the new update and what are the differences between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2?

I think a lot of us are on the 4.2.2 update. Those who didn't update are of course on 4.2.1 because they want their LTE. I would like to a say a majority of the members are on 4.2.2.
Some folks are still having Bluetooth and WiFi issues. Problems like the difficulty of connecting to their device and the same for WiFi. This is plaguing some users but not all. Just a small percentage. On my end everything is working fine. It's just weird to hear others are having these problems. I never have any issues with my devices. If you want to update to 4.2.2, I strongly suggest you do a super clean install/update.

Oh ok well it's good to hear that there isn't as many problems with the update as there was with the nexus 7. But I am a bit hesitant because I'm on T-Mobile and I hear that they are about to get LTE in my area. I live in Los Angeles.

Lol. I live in NY and I think LTE is available on T-Mobile here as well.
If you want to use LTE, then don't update yet. If 4.2.1 is working fine don't update it.

Yes. As long as you find the stock rom/custom rom based on what you're looking for.

I couldn't find the 4.2.1 rom on the google website that's why. They only have the 4.2.2 rom.

4.2.2 has been better for battery life, at least for me. You should update it. And for LTE you can flash old radio, but might not work with the latest versions of certain ROMs, so do your research on that. I believe you can just do a nandroid for 4.2.1 (not 100% on this)

Yeah thanks for the advice, and your right about the battery life because I feel that considering that the nexus 4 has a 2100mah battery the battery doesn't last long enough. If I can do a nandroid backup then it would be awesome. I'm pretty new to the nexus 4 scene, so I appreciate everyone's help thus far.

anyone have a link to the 4.2.1 stock ROM. i think my speaker for my phone has gotten lower with the 4.2.2 update and i want to downgrade it.

It's the third one down the list on the "images". Use 7zip to unpack the files and flash away!
EDIT: There is the option to have 4.2.2 with the 33 baseband to retain the LTE, however that has caused problems for people so the only official way to make it work with LTE is to flash 4.2.1 with the 33 base.

Tmobile . 48 radio

Us tnobile on pa 3.55
Full wipe
Since upgrading to 4.2.2 and radio 4.8 just my wife's inbound calls don't ring my phone if I'm on the Internet or on say xda.
Any ideas?
There have been a few other calls too.
What can I look for and should I downgraded the radio?

T-Mobile LTE/Older Radios with 4.3

Anyone find a fix for the audio issue yet? If so please share. If not, I'm sure a fix will be out soon?
The only thing missing for me while on 4.3 are those awesome LTE speeds that I honestly can't live without anymore (especially upload, upload speeds on hspa are garbage).
Thanks!
I understand there is a new radio with 4.3. What version is showing up on your phone? Does anyone have a pointer to release notes that show you details of what has been changed in 4.3, particularly with the radio?

OP wants to use <.33 for LTE. Radios newer than .33 has LTE disabled.
So thats why he doesn't want to use .84 (that comes with 4.3)
There is no fusion fix yet.

I know that......I guess I kinda hijacked the thread for a somewhat unrelated question; my bad. Anyway, thanks for the answer. Hopefully I can now get more than 1Mbps download data speed on my phone.

does in-call audio work fine with H and H+ on the newer radios?
.27 or .33 is needed for LTE however, the .84 radio hasn't been out long enough to determine if LTE can somehow be enabled. Time will tell, Google has surprised us with today and how it's turning out.
For now, stick with what is known to work...

It doesn't have to be out long enough. If the radio has LTE disabled, its disabled. You can't workaround to enable LTE on a radio that is compiled with it disabled. Its a closed source radio just like all of them.
With 4.2.2, using the old radio with an audio fix allowed for us to keep the LTE active. Does this still work work 4.3?

What about the other way around. Would .33 and .48 work on 4.3 with T-Mobile because the new one is giving me terrible reception

Did you try the hybrid radio? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36400943&postcount=1 .33 and .48 do work on 4.3.
Not yet. I'm back on 4.2 anyways I really missed the cm features and touch control app
Edit:
Went back to my stock 4.3 and .33 has no audio for T-Mobile. Didn't try the hybrid radio just went back to the .84

Nexus 4 Unable to hear during phone calls.

Hello! Well my Nexus 4 has once again stopped functioning normally
I'm on 4.3 stock ROM.(rooted)
The problem is that I can't hear anyone on the other end during a phone call nor can they hear me. Also there is no ringing tone when calling someone.
Help would greatly appreciated.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Im having this same problem but im on cm10.2 anybody else having this too????
I fixed mine with the one of the hybrid modems. If you are on an older modem like .33 maybe try the .84 or hybrid if you want LTE.
