I believe its a limitation of the hardware as to what bands the radio supports. So short answer is no unfortunately.

You are correct it is a hardware limitation as the Nexus 4 contains no LTE chip. Band 4 is integrated into Qualcomm S4 chipset that's why we have it.

Hi everyone,
Is Google Nexus 4 finally a fully LTE capable phone or not? and is there any official news from Google that they might patch it to not work with LTE anymore?
Thanks
It technically works on one (I think) band that LTE uses, in Canada, but I think that's it. As far as I know it would need some more hardware to be fully supported on all LTE bands.
TLDR; for realistic purposes, no

Which band is that? 2100Mhz? and if so then it's fully supported in Canada?! ??? Of course all LTE bands are not supported by any phones out there because of differences in USA, Canada, Japan, and Europe...
It's confusing because some news say that LTE antenna is needed and more hardware components so I don't understand why one of the bands work when hardware components are missing. Of course, it is not LTE when only the name LTE shows beside the signal and speed is not great.
I think it would be best if someone can post their speeds on Rogers, Bell, Fido, and Telus and let us know if LTE really works.
Well that thread already exists:

It only works on LTE band 4 and Google has already said they cannot update the phone to work on the rest of the LTE bands as the hardware is not in the phone. Band 4 is there by default in the LTE chip.
What is LTE Band 4? Can you please explain a bit.
Thanks

Yes it works on Rogers LTE in Canada..
Google better not try to "disable", but glad someone brought that to my attention as I will be checking before i update anything

My cell provider uses 1800 frequncy for 4G LTE and I read some where that the nexus 4 uses 1700 or something .. So my question is am I able to connect to 4G somehow ? I live in kuwait and my provider is called "zain"

LTE only works in AWS, 1700 I hear it referred to as band 4 on the nexus 4.
I dont think At&t's LTE work on this phone either.

I checked Qualcomm WTR1605L specification and it supports 1800mhz LTE. So why doesn't it work? Software limitation?

Its a hardware limitation as there are no signal amplifiers and filters installed except for band 4 AWS which are included in the chipset. This works basically only on T-Mobile LTE at 1900 MHz in the US. This issue has been discussed to death in this forum and is very old news.

Turns out some AT&T markets use the AWS band for LTE, spectrum problems I hear. So in some markets you may get att lte on this phone.

Fairly certain you meant 1700

So.. correct me if this is wrong; the Nexus4 supports AWS HSPA+ out of the box (aka T-Mobile), but also can be modded to support LTE on the same band- which many other carriers besides T-Mobile use.
This is very rare, isn't it? Because in every other commercially-released device, these two features are pretty much mutually-exclusive. If you buy a phone that supports AWS out of the box from T-Mobile or a Canadian carrier like Mobilicity it has no LTE support because those carriers don't offer it. If you buy a device with LTE support from a larger carrier like AT&T or Telus, it has no support for AWS at lower speeds because its carrier doesn't use them.
So the Nexus4 would be the only device to support both these carriers at maximum network speeds?

All T-Mobile LTE phones support AWS and LTE over 1700/2100mhz.

I am really interested in the Korean version of this phone (with the removable battery and sd card slot), but there seems to be confusion over which models support which frequency bands... so my question is..
Do any of them support 3G on the 850/1900 band???
Thanks
Yes I will also like to know as well. Because I would to get this vein so I don't have to stock with a contact.

Look what F240S can has in attachment. So I think it supports 1900 band. As well as F240K. And F320S/F320K will work with 1900 to
Best way for your is to ask people which have korean G Pro at hand to make you screenshots of their bands by menu 5457#*240#

Thanks, this is helpful.
However I am torn between which band would be more useful to me, 850 or 1900 (I live in a rural area). I can live with 3G but not 2G,
UPDATE: A G2 with model number F320S was listed on eBay saying it supports HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100 in the description. I messaged the seller to make sure it was not a mistake, and he assured me that the device does support these 3G frequencies and that it would get 3G signal on carriers Canada.
Just got this phone. I am in US and need to know where you went to get those setting. Currently only getting 3G
Thanks

What carrier are you with? You should only get 3G, since none of the LTE variants that work in the US are released yet.
Yes thank you, I am getting 3G on AT&T. Battery is very cooperative on 3G. Every time I dial a voice call the phone thinks I am in Korea ...can not find any setting in phone for region, any chance you might know how to change regions? The phone is very ergonomic, probably the moist ergonomic I have used.

MoreLocale 2 in the app store seems to do the trick but I don't have an lg g2 to test it. I guess you need to root it first and grant superuser permissions because of the way jellybean handles it.I came up with this thru a couple Google searches so its untested.
I'm tempted. I'm on straight talk in the USA. If it worked, tell me as a thanks cause I kinda want to get it. I wonder if it supports tmobiles hspa+42 network. I use a T-Mobile straight talk sim card...., it runs off of T-Mobile's network but I pay straight talk but no LTE.
I will give it a try. First I need root, do you know where I can get root for the LG G2?

Dono if you still need it. But here it is:
320S:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS B1B2B5 850/1900/2100
LTE B1B3B5B7 850/1800/2100/2600
320K:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS B1B2B5 850/1900/2100
LTE B1B3B7B8 900/1800/2100/2600
No info on the 320L
Thanks. That clears a lot up. It is good to see 2 models with a large range of bands.
It really is amazing how many websites had bad info.

I doubt it, where do you get this bands? native Korean models never had LTE 2600 supported, so that must be fakes

I can confirm the LTE 2600 supported. I'm using the SK version in Hong Kong and can use both LTE 1800 and LTE 2600 with this phone.

Dial 5457#*320# and look for Band selection menu. Don't tinker with it, just make please screenshots 4 us pressing and holding "power+vol.down"
Then LTE channels screenshots will be appreciated too. The more the better

Hello. As you may know, all variants of the Galaxy Gran Prime have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 chipset, which has LTE support, right?
So, my question is: is it possible to develop something that could unlock it on the non-LTE versions?
I have one, it is the brazilian variant of it, the SM-G530BT.
Thanks! And sorry if this is some kind of dumb question.
Unsure what the question is. LTE should work on 3G it will just show 3G and not LTE. Say you are normally in area of LTE and you go somewhere there is only 3g.
What I meant is that my carrier has 4G/LTE support, but on this phone's specs there's no LTE support. Do you get it?
It only says it has support for HSPA+ (3G+), not 4G.

On Qualcomm based devices, certain nv items needed to be changed to enable more lte bands. Can the same thing be done on the Note 4 with the Intel modem?
