[Q] Nexus 4 Radio Problem - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using Paranoid Android for some time now and yesterday i updated the bootloader and the radio and it has been nothing but problems since then no one seems to be able to reach me i am getting very spotty mobile data and calling anyone is a no go
i even tried reverting back to .33 and that didn't help has anyone had any similar problems or does anyone have any solutions

Same for me, I'm on CM10.1 though

Same problem here. I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, on Paranoid Android 3.10 with Motley Kernel and Radio : radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48 .
I'm getting very frequent call drops and it's very annoying. Can someone recommend a stable radio that I could use?

what carrier are you guys on? im having similar issues. im on tmobile. tried going back to .33 radio, but calling audio doesnt work on calls.

I'm using Virgin/T-Mobile in the UK, i've gone back to .33 to test it out for a while, calls are working, data looks good so far

Same problem with me,

I'm in India on Vodafone. I'm considering flashing another radio.

Strange.. Try a 4.2.2 factory reset and then re install recovery, and re flash the Parandroid rom..

T-Mobile USA and Older radios problem!

We all know that after updating to 4.2.2 via OTA and the new radio .48 the LTE is disabled.Some users have flashed older radios .27 and .33 and were successful enabling LTE again on our devices! However most of T-Mobile USA users(including myself) are NOT able to get older radios work on stock rooted 4.2.2! After flashing older radios you have usable data connection but no audio in call! I`m not able to hear anything when connected to a call! So far I have tried:
1.Flashing .27 radio and installing the RIL for 4.2.1= no audio in call
2. Flashing .33 radio and installing the RIL for 4.2.1= no audio in call
If anyone has been successful getting it work on T-Mobile USA, please share your steps and methods to achieve that!
Thanks

I had the same issue. .33 screwed up my phone. I couldn't hear anything from the earpiece. Unfortunately I found the reason why and .48 fixed the problem. Anyways, which city do you live in that has LTE from T-Mobile? There are very very few LTE coverage in USA from t mobile. It would be pointless to enable lte if you do not live in a lte coverage area. I don't know why .33 won't work on 4.2.1. It should work.

I live in Boston. I don`t know if LTE is live yet, but I just wanted to try and see. But older radios don`t work....Have you tried older radios+custom roms?

I don't think it would matter if the phone was running on a custom rom with a old baseband. Basebands, bootloaders, kernels and roms are kinda like their own thing, y'know.
Same thing happened to me, had to go back to .48

That's not exactly right though... The kernel controls the radio(baseband)

Yeah!!! What's the deal with that I can't get .33 to work on stock rooted 4.2.2 I'm also from the Boston area.

If you want a solid ROM that works with the old radio use CM10.1 Nightlies . It works great with both radios.

Yeah, I guess we have to jump to custom roms whenever LTE is live in Boston....
bump! Maybe a Dev can give us some more info on that matter???
I've seen the LTE APN setup in the switch as fast.Tmobile.com . I'm thinking you need that for it to work once it's turned on
Flashed .33 too and had no sound. Had to flash back 48
On Tmobile USA too

I flashed Dark Jelly n4 with the .33 radio and it works fine coming from the .48 on t-mobile. (I was on stock originally then got the update)
No problem here but i am using the franco kernel if it matters.

No sound on calls

A friend of mine has a brand new nexus4 but when phone calls are made there is no sound. It has 4.2.2 with .48 radio and new bootloader. I tried a couple things: rooted it and flashed the bootloader and radio again with stock rom. Then install cm 10.1 with the new and old radios with the same results.
Any suggestions?

Is their no sound at all or is the volume just really low, almost to the point where you cant hear anything? If so, I had this same problem and all i did was restart my phone and it seemed to fix itself.

I had the same issue after the latest PIE rom update. Flashing the radio solved my problem, try this radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
Real quick: did your friend test the phone for sound at the store before paying for it? Or did the no-sound issue kick in only after a little tinkering?

ANY STOCK 4.2.2 Rom With LTE Band 4 Enabled?

The option for LTE in phone information was disabled in 4.2.2
Is there anyone working on a stock 4.2.2 rom with LTE Enabled?
Me and a few of my friends are looking for this for our phones
otherwise were forced to downgrading back to 4.2.1
Sorry I didnt notice where I was posting this, hopefully this is moved to >>> Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Also would flashing the radio from 4.2.1 enable it?
i think it is more of a radio thing. if you use either .27 or .33 radios then you can access the LTE. i did have a problem with paranoidandroid on tmobile where both of those radios would work and give me LTE but i lost audio in call. i am now running trailblazerz11 rom with .27 radio and i have audio in call and LTE.

Just flash older version of radio image on any ROM (stock works too I believe) via fastboot and you should be good to go

[Q] what is the stock radio for 4.3 nexus 4

Hey everyone, I have just tried to get LTE working on my Nexus 4 on fido. It didn't work (I think I need to swap out my sim card for the fido lte one) The hybid radio modem seems to be draining my battery quite fast and I have not had a consistent signal. I want to flash back to the stock one, but not sure what one I should be using. Can anyone help?

.84 is the version released with 4.3. You can get it by downloading the stock image from google, or from the Nexus 4 Radio's thread.

Thank so much!!
No problem

Nexus 4 loses mobile signal when trying to connect to 3G.

Basically what happens is the phone works fine while on WiFi but as soon as I disable WiFi or leave the area, when the phone tries to connect to 3g it loses signal completely. It shows the H+ briefly, then shows grey bars and then shows an empty triangle for about 3 seconds. I was running the 4.4 ROM released by paranoid android a few weeks ago with no issues until today when calls were constantly droppiing while I was out.
I've since tried updating the radio, tried two different 4.4 roms, flashed back to 4.3 rom 3.99 paranoid Android rc2 including the boot loader and radio provided in the xda thread. Still no luck. So my question is...is there a magic fix? Or will I need to replace the antenna? Im going to try get a new sim tomorrow and try that but I don't see why that would be the issue?
Thanks

Lately people are complaining about the signal issues..Pa has been the common factor in all.. I would suggest/recommend you to flash psx v2 + franco + radio + bootloader.. If you have already updated to radio n bootloader,good. Best combo.. no problems.

PSX version 2 is the KitKat ROM. It's in the Original Development.
darkstar09, are you having problems with restarting your phone? Because I'm having this mobile signal bug as well + a massive reboot problem. I allready downgraded to 4.3 but the problem was still there ..
