Hey I've tried searching for a thread for my problem but didn't find anything so here it goes;
Still on the old radio, whenever I choose "LTE Only" on Phone Info. I get good signal (4G logo) for about half an hour, and then I notice a complete drop in signal. The phone simply doesn't work; no calls, no data, no sms...
Anyone familiar with this issue? Weirdly on the WCDMA signal I never have a signal drop (H+).
Basically I've never been successful in getting consistent LTE signal for an entire day since the purchase of this phone. Anyone know of a fix?
I'm on Telus in Canada so APN settings are the same as regular HSPA+
Thanks!
Bump. Any help or pointers would be highly appreciated!

Use the LTE/GSM auto setting. LTE Only will only rely on a strong LTE signal, and not drop down to any of the other networks if it needs to. I use LTE/GSM auto and haven't had any problems with losing connection. It switches down from LTE to H+ when it needs to.
Maybe your carrier decided to cut off support for lte on nexus 4?
You could try reflashing the radio to see if it cures your problem.
What provinces are you guys in? Im trying to get LTE to work on my Nexus in Calgary and not having any luck so far. When i switch the the LTE/GSM signal nothing happens. Is there any other radio flashes that need to be performed to get the LTE signal.
Checked with Telus already, the V3 sim cards can do LTE.
Hello all,
I just got my N4 couple of days back. I have this problem where when i connect to a 3g network the signal keeps fluctuating. As in it connects to the network for some 5 seconds i ll have full signal and after a couple of seconds there is no signal it shows emergency calls only. This keeps happening repeatedly. But in the 2g network everything is fine. I figured this is a radio ( i had .48 ) problem and flashed an older radio ( .33 ) still the same. i m looking for a solution 2g network is way too slow. This never happened in my nexus s :/
P.S : i dint have a micro sim, so i got the sim cut into a micro sim, is this the problem do i have to buy a micro sim itself ?

It's goes according to your carrier's cell coverage. If you're in area with low HSPA+ coverage then you will lose it and it will automatically switch to another frequency band. Big building can block cell coverage. Going underground or being in the basement will lower your data coverage. It has nothing to do with your sim card or your baseband.

I never had this problem with my nexus s, is it because nexus s doesnt have HSPA+ ?
I've not had a 3G/HSPA signal on my N4 for a while now. Trouble is I don't know exactly when it happened as I'm generally on either WiFi at home or at work, where I know I can only get Edge.
I've tried the usual check the APN, *#*#4636#*#* and nothing's jumping out at me (if I tell it to use WCDMA only I get no signal at all).
I'm wondering if it was the 4.2.2 udpate and wonder if I've got the wrong radio - so the question is does anyone know what radio I should have on my N4? I'm in the UK on Vodafone, but I got the phone from the Play Store.
I've tried searching but the N4 seems to have had so many signal issues it's difficult to sift out the relevant stuff
I'm not rooted but I'm happy to do it if needed. Already tried a factory reset so nothing to lose!
Cheers,
Dave
have you tried a different sim card? thete isnt a specific radio per region, so thats not a problem.

Yeah, sorry, forgot to say. I tried the wife's SIM (different operator) and same issue, only got a 2G signal.
I was thinking it might have been an issue when they updated it to remove the LTE "feature"
Even i have the same problem . I am from India and also have tried a couple of sim card . Im not able to get 3g signal at all . Anyone pls help....
i have the same issue solved whit RMA my first nexus 4 was defective, my new nexus 4 changed in warranty now works well
3G/HSPA networks

I started having the same issue today in Atlanta. Had another T-Mobile HSPA phone sitting next to mine with 4 bars while I was on Edge. My N4 is < 1 week old and seemed to be OK but now I can't get it on anything other than Edge.
I've checked my APN settings, reset the radio, turned data on/off and reset the phone with no luck.
Any advice?
Update: Just got mine working, here is what I did.
Wasted 20 mins talking to Google and T-Mobile. (I don't recommend this step.)
Type in *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down and change 'WCDMA Preferred' to 'WCDMA Only'. At this point my bars switched from Edge to HSPA.
Now, undo the change and put it back on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure it still has a 3G or an H next to your bars.
Exit and enjoy the fast phone.

This worked for me.. thanks
I am having the exact same problem as Dave. My n4 has just stopped connecting to WCDMA (H).
I have tried re entering my APN's, Turning on/off mobile network, Airplane mode, rebooting and removing the SIM. From the test menu I have tried WCDMA only but I lose my signal completely and go to emergency calls only. If I use either GSM only or WCDMA preferred I can get a 2G connection but nothing more and when on WCDMA preferred it can lose connection completely as well.
I am also with Vodafone UK.
solution for this

Getting bars on 'GSM only'
I have got the same issue on my Nexus 4, and I still don't understand how it happened in the first place. I updated a bunch of apps before going to bed and remember waking up to no signals on my phone.
Currently I only receive signal when I go *#*#4636#*#* and set it to 'GSM only'. Any other configuration (WCDMA preferred, WCDMA only, etc) results in loss of signal.
I have tried the following with no luck:
1) Restored Factory Settings
2) Installed an older version of android
3) Flashed multiple radios
4) Steps listed on this thread
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
I recently upgraded to Baja ROM from rooted JB stock and ever since have had problems switching to 3G from 4G. If I turn my phone on in a 3G area, 3G data works. However, if I travel to a 4G area and the phone connects to 4G, when I return to a 3G area, 3G data no longer works. The notification bar has a grey out 3G (wifi is off). Voice still works. I cannot get data again unless I either go back to a 4G area or reboot my phone. Turning on and off airplane mode doesn't help. Does anyone else have this problem? I have tried various modems, including NC4, NC2 and MJE. They don't seem to make any difference. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for you help in advance.
P.S. I live in Appalachian mountains where I am constantly roaming on Appalachian Wireless. They did partner up with Verizon to get 4G LTE so I suspect when I am on 4G, I am on Verizon network. I don't know if roaming makes any difference.
Hello.
So my Redmi Note 7 auto switches from 4G to 3G even though i have full 4G signal and it won't go back to 4G unless i turn airplane mode on then off again. I tried sticking it to LTE using *#*#4636#*#* and instead of switching to 3G it just lost mobile signal. I tried everything that came to mind but nothing works and i would really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
