SIM randomly locking up - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I've installed 4.3 yesterday my SIM card locked up a few times randomly. It also happens when the screen is off. I just lose all signal and then I have to enter my SIM pin. I have no idea why this is happening and I didn't experience it before.

Anyone?
Factory reset didn't fix it either. I'll try another radio later.

I had the same problem twice since my update to 4.3 (which was Sunday). Both happened when I travelled between two buildings of the company I work in - in both buildings I have wifi-access, between these buildings I only have GSM (and in some spots no GSM-reception at all). Maybe the switchover between wifi, GSM and "no reception" causes the radio to crash.
After the factory reset, did you restore your apps with a tool like Titanium Backup?

I always do that yes, but since I installed the .48 radio I haven't had any problems yet . Sorry for not updating it here; I already did in another thread I thought.

Hello, how do you like the .48 radio? i was having the same problem with you with .84 radio and stock ROM 4.3. My carrier is tele2 and this problem forced me to flash older radio which .33.
However, I couldn't receive SMS from abroad now.. Do you know what might be the problem?

Why did you flash radio .33 and not radio .48?
.48 solved my problems, everything works fine

Yup, .48 works fine. I don't know about foreign text messages since I haven't used that with this ROM and radio yet.

Unable to hear anything in a phone call.

Hi all,
love my Nexus 4 to bits but in the past few days I have not been able to hear anything whether I am making or receiving a phone call.
thought it might be a hardware issue but Viber and other apps is working...
i factory resetted the phone but it has not resolved the issue since...
add to the pain LG is refusing to have it serviced in Singapore.
could it be the update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing the problem?
have googled but no one seems to having same issues like me.
R: Unable to hear anything in a phone call.
Flash the stock ROM image.

i'm on the latest baseband 0.48?
should i flash only the radio or maybe just go back to 4.2.1 with its 0.33?
I think you should flash another rom guy :laugh:

Can I run Fido LTE on Nexus 4?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Nexus 4 few months back for my gf and she has been liking it. It used to work with LTE on Bell but since 4.2.2 I think it is disabled. However, I am looking to buy one for myself now. I am on Fido (Rogers is mother company). Should I expect LTE to work on my Fido with an easy work around like changing the radio baseband?
I will be looking to order a new one tonight.
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks
I am on Fido and LTE working, use .33 radio and search for the LTE instructions. I am assuming you know how to root and flash radio.

1- I hoped I never have to root a stock version from Google but I don't mind doing it if I have to. What are the disadvantages of Rootin or rolling back to .33 radio? I will have to weigh my options.
2- When LTE worked before the phone had to be set to LTE again upon restart, is that fixed now so it's a permanent change?
3- Is there a ROM that is a basic basic stock image (not like CM Mod) that I can use and yet enjoy the .33 radio?
Thanks
You have to root phone in order to flash old radio. 4.2.2 uses .48 radio, and LTE only works on .33 radio. So this have to be done. Please search around the forum on rooting and enable LTE. Good luck!

Thanks again. Does rooting void the warranty? If yes, is there any way to "unroot"

So, would the "unrooting" make the phone look just like it was never rooted or would Google know regardless?

Yep. Even works for RMAs. I unrooted, relocked the bootloader, and flashed back stock rom on my RMA Nexus 4 to send it back. Google doesn't know.

[HELP] no in-call sound

I have a friend who has an N4 8GB, after the update to 4.3 from 4.2.2, the in-call sound dissapeared.
After tinkering with it, while unrooted, we found out that the phone is thinking the earphones are alway connected, even though they are not.
We downloaded an app that disables the earphone jack and it worked, but what a crappy workaround.
So, is there a fix for this? It was working on 4.2.2... I want to fix this while still being unrooted and stock.
I can give details if required.
more:
-baseband and bootloader got updated automatically to the latest.
-build number is JWR66Y, i saw people factory resetting their phone but it didn't solve that issue, so I'm guessing downgrading to JWR66V?

RMA it if it doesn't work after flashing the factory images because I don't know what else you could do. Flash everything together all over again too. Flash the bootloader then restart boot loader. Flash radio then restart Bootloader and then finally flash the system

LTE with att

So I've read the stickies and posted in the forum but I need yk see if anyone can help me out with LTE. I have att service on a stock non rooted n4 I've dialed *#*#4636#*#* changed my network type but it doesn't stick so I can't select lte in my settings and I'm not getting it regardless of my APN settings ... Anyone have any ideas of what's going on outside of rooting and flashing a different modem or radio .. Any help is appreciated ... Thanks

You need to flash a hybrid radio unless you never updated past stock 4.2.1,
newer radioes have the code disabled since it hasnt been approved by the FCC for LTE

The Nexus 4 does not support all of the AT&T LTE bands. It lacks the most commonly used LTE bands for AT&T and therefore can only be used in a couple of cities. If you do live in one of those cities, you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a hybrid radio.
OK I've been reading and I'm a little confused is there a solid working root and bootloader unlock for 4.4.2 ?

You can flash any baseband (aka radio) you want but, in order for LTE to work, you will need to flash a hybrid radio. For 4.4.2, you would need radio version .98 or .97
There was a recently released app that makes installing or changing either the hybrid or stock radios extremely easy. I used to use the manual method until this came along:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/app-nexus-4-modem-flasher-lte-enabler-t2607221
As was also mentioned, AT&T Band 4 is not available in too many areas, so don't be surprised if you never get LTE.

Nexus 4 Wifi Not working

I was on 4.4.3 and updated to 4.4.4 and I've tried 4 roms (Parandroid, Slimkat, Purity, and another) and on all of them, I can't even turn the Wifi on, it won't search for any available networks or anything. Cell service works fine and I can get 4G but just now wifi. Anyone have a similar problem? Should I just go back to 4.4.3?
I would try to flash the 4.4.4 radio in fastboot

Could you link me the radio? And is that any different than the .33 radio I flash for 4G?

Ya, it is different. You dont have 4G on 1.03 radio (4.4.4). Anyway try the latest radio and look what happens.
