Alright. So today my nexus 4 came in, and from I've read the Nexus 4 can do band 4 4G. Which from what I've heard isn't supported very much in the united States. Is this even worth me trying to get working?
If it is how hard and reliable is it for me to try this?
I am on T-Mobile and I live in Oklahoma city.
This thread didn't do it for you?

It's easy to do and very worth it.
Because you got your phone today, root it now so you don't lose any data when you unlock the bootloader.
You will have probably updated to the latest version of Android, so once you have CWM or another custom recovery, flash an older, compatible radio and then do the T-Mobile fix. This will give you working LTE on the stock ROM.
There are tons of threads out there to help you out, including this one (previously mentioned) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211618, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233319, and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147325

First, it wasn't a "hack" it was an option that they forgot to remove. They removed it with the 4.2.2 update because it violates the FCC regulations. They can't use the LTE Band 4 without having tested it for interference with other devices, applications, etc.
You can re-add the option by flashing the 2.0.1700.33 radio after you've installed the 4.2.2 update.

Will the nexus 4 be able to get it ?
Actually I set up the new lte APN
I forgot where i got it from but
I went into phone info
(*#*#4636#*#*)
And took the lte setting.
I did this bc I'm in a testing city(NYC)
I noticed a slight increase in data speed.
But can anyone confirm this

Changing the network mode is not changing the APN. You need to go to APN settings and change the name to fast.tmobile.com and the APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 and save it. Then do speed tests to confirm if you're getting LTE.
T-Mobile users have reported getting LTE in NYC but the network kicks them off about 15 mins later.
Yes the Nexus 4 will receive LTE.
APN setting can be found at Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access point names
Don't forget to be on a .33 or lower radio

By speed alone, nope. I've personally seen 25 down and 3 or so up on HSPA+.
No. When you go to results it should say LTE as your network. Your icon on top should say 4G too.

Hi eddy, could you clarify this? I was under the impression that the Nexus 4 doesn't have an LTE radio or something and every review video I watch says that "no LTE" is a downside along with the no microSD card and removable battery.
Are you saying that there will be a Nexus 4 LTE version released soon? (This is all for Tmobile btw)

No no there won't be an LTE Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is already LTE, but you must be on android 4.2.1 or have root. Correct that there is no expandable memory or removable battery. Most reviews say that it doesn't have LTE either because they made the review before it was discovered or simply chose not to say because its not official and The N4 only supports carriers with LTE that have band 4 and that is only a few (T-Mobile and some Canadian carriers).

For LTE, you can have the newest version of Android, but you must flash an older radio that still had LTE enabled. Then, you need to do what other people suggested, change your APN and radio settings.
Honestly I think HSPA+ is quite fast already. LTE is faster but do you really really really need it? It's cool to have and all. Most folks don't even know what LTE is or what it stands for. They just think "Oh it's super fast! I can download cat videos at super speeds!"

I found this post funny because your avatar is Jerry the mouse :good::laugh:
But LTE is just another feature that tmo released. Nothing more than faster speeds and faster killing of your battery on LTE. LOL
I am content with HSPA+ for downloads but LTE would come in handy for uploads which are quite slow on HSPA+.

Oh gotcha thanks. Yeah that's really cool for Tmobile customers I guess since it may future proof the device a little bit more now that TMobile is getting ready to roll out their LTE sometime in the next year. (or few months if what they claim is truth)

They're already rolling LTE as we are speaking. We should see more cities with LTE by the end of this year. They won't stop until the cover the whole country. AT&T, Sprint and Verizon are still rolling out LTE. Lol

You have to apply the LTE hack in order to get LTE on TMobile.
LTE on Nexus 4 is not officially supported and was removed in a radio .48 and above.
So basically,
1. Flash a baseband that is older than .48 (such as .33, .29, etc).
2. Flash the voice fix
3. Build prop change.
This of course is very general, do some searching on XDA and you'll find what you need. #2 and #3 can be done via flashable zips, just find it. You'll probably find things out there that will show you how to manually do that but that is very time consuming, especially if you flash updates to roms which will override it.

just like any other radio, there exists many different frequencies. your htc could have been made to support your lte frequency, band 4 isnt very common. call and ask your provider if they support band 4. if they say they dont know what that is, then they dont support it.

In places where LTE is prominent, it is faster than any alternative. I think Bell and Rogers have pretty good LTE, especially in Toronto. So I don't see why it would be a problem (assuming the Find 5 is LTE capable).
It doesn't have LTE.
Speed on lte cant be beat by hspa... at least not in toronto...
