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.

No one is "trolling" prick..
There is a big difference between a "Hack" and a simple OPTION...
And He was not insulting you.. he was simply telling you a FACT..

Hey I've gotten the unofficial late cm10 room for nexus 4 and I was wondering if anyone had gotten lte in Tacoma because I've tried using lte here using the hack and instructions, but lte doesn't work (I tried using lte only) however my friend had T-Mobile and gets 4g here. Any idea why? Thanks.

It's not just the radio that provides LTE. The N4 is actually missing LTE hardware.

This horse has been beat to death. The hardware is only there for AWS band 4, which AT&T has in about 2 cities. TMo bought the remaining AWS spectrum from AT&T and is rolling out LTE on it in some markets.

Are you on T-Mobile also? My wife's HTC One X also does better signal wise than my N4 in certain areas. I assume it is because her phone is a LTE phone and mine is not. We are with AT&T, and being on the LTE network vs HSPA is like night and day.

No you can't flash her s4 radio. They're two different phones.
What kind of question is that? That's like saying, oh my brothers computer is faster, can I flash the bios for his motherboard?

So, then what you need to do is get you a true LTE phone or borrow hers.

Theoretically speaking, the nexus 4 is a unofficial lte device and it does work on t mobile assuming that it's in the users area. He needs to check the lte thread for more information on how to use it on 4.2.2

No, you are wrong about official, which is why it is disabled by default. I know it will work in limited areas, but it doesn't have the FCC approval to be sold as an LTE phone. Officially it is not a LTE phone, even though it has some hidden limited capability.

No, you`re wrong! N4 fully supports LTE on band 4- T-mobile USA, Canadian carriers! There are people that have been using it for a while! It`s not FCC approved -YES, but it works as any other LTE phone!

His post says unofficial and he clearly hasn't edited it so you just misread the post, you're both saying the same thing essentially.

"Can be made to work with LTE" is a very very different thing from "fully supports LTE".

ahandlen003 said:
Not to be redundant to other posts but in reality its not different. "fully supports" can be classified as working on networks that have lte which the nexus 4 does. Just because we have to change a few settings doesnt mean it doesnt fully support lte. I get full 4g everywhere i live. I consider that to be fully supportive.

I guess that your definition of "fully supported" is very different to mine.
My definition wouldn't include the possibility of having to stick to old radios/ROMs to make a feature work, and it would include the possibility of ensuring Google help if there was a problem with that feature.

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.
Want confirmation? http://www.tmonews.com/2013/05/t-mobile-lte-sightings-abundant-in-los-angeles-area-this-morning/

Try .27, its rumored to be better than .33 in terms of reception. Mileage may vary.

LTE in LA is fast as **** on the .33 and on the .27 radios...
i got it from Culver City all the way to North Hollywood...i am in Long Beach so I don't go to LA all that often but this was all last week...as for the IE i do not know

Nexus 4 and LTE Questions

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.

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
