Can I use this as LTE only on Verizon?

It's probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it with a search, so here goes:
The recent Nexus 7 announcement with LTE capability on Verizon got me thinking about how Verizon treats its LTE since Google forced some open network agreement concerning the LTE bands Verizon is using. I'm assuming that Verizon won't sell the Nexus 7 and that you'll have to buy it from Google, then get an LTE SIM card from Verizon separately.
So, would it work to open a tablet line for LTE data only on Verizon and put the SIM card into a Nexus 4, then flash whatever tweaks are needed to get the LTE up and running? I know how to get VoIP and ToIP, so I really wouldn't need the 2G network.

no because verizon doesnt use the lte band that the nexus 4 can.

The Nexus 4 supports band 4 LTE (1700 MHz), yes? Verizon purchased 1700 spectrum a while back to use to help expand its LTE network. So, theoretically, when the 1700 MHz Verizon LTE comes out, would it work?

MetroPCS compatibility

Recently with the T-Mobile merge MetroPCS has supported bringing your own device, such as the nexus 4.
Most devices connected will use both Metro and T-mobiles towers, giving us overall better coverage.
The issue is that the Nexus 4 not supporting LTE by default won't connect to metro's network. So this halfens the merge, back to only T-Mobiles tower.
My question is, does anyone know how to connect the Nexus 4 to both networks? So far none of the LTE enabling mods don't work.

That's not possible. The nexus 4 only supports band 4 LTE, which is what t-mobile uses. However, metropcs LTE is band 2, thus making it incompatible with the nexus 4.

Metropcs does have band 4 LTE, but that might already be integrated with T-Mobile and there'd be no distinction between the two networks.

You shouldnt need to do anything to get your phone working on metropcs gsm except get a metropcs gsm simcard(no the ones in their old phones that had sim cards will not work), change the apn to metropcs lte (fast.metropcs.com) and of course activation. If youre only getting signal on 4g then you might have your phone on lte only. Be sure to enable lte/gsm only that way it can go down to 2g/3g/H. And it techinally runs only under tmobiles towers so if your area has weak tmobile towers thats the problem. you can use everything on the nexus 4 including band 4 lte if its included in your area. Metropcs is slowly becoming another mvno on tmobile. They still have cdma phones but theyre being phased out. Band 2 is most likely referring to their cdma LTE which is a differently system all together. Im on MetroPCS GSM. obviously you cant use cdma bands with this phone but on metropcs gsm you'll be fine. You get hspa+ and lte. Its quick and cheap and works pretty good. I get speeds ranging from 8mbps to 25 max when on lte. I flash phones and unlock phones to metro all the time so feel free to ask me any questions

Now THAT is a clear, concise explanation of how MetroPCS works with the Nexus 4. THANK YOU!

I can't say for sure, but after a quick search, I noticed Cricket Wireless' network bands are the same as AT&T's. That means our Nexus 4 cannot connect to its 4G network even if you flash a hybrid radio.

I know tmobile ised band 4 for lte and att have the same band
ATT BANDS
4G HSPA and HSPA+*
850Mhz (Band 5)
1900Mhz (Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license.*
LTE*
Band 17(700Mhz),
Band 5(850Mhz),*
Band 2(1900Mhz),*
Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)*

LG/Google Nexus 4 that the device included hardware necessary for LTE on at least some of its bands, namely bands 1 (2100 MHz), 2 (1900 MHz), and 4 (AWS 1700/2100)

Ummm I'm on cricket and my LTE works fine

Are you using a Nexus 4?

The Nexus 4 only has LTE with band 4, after you've flashed a hybrid radio and set it to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) in your dialer settings (dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone settings).

So should work perfect with New cricket service since used at&t towers and have band 4 too right?
But u dont know how get lte just got HSPA AND HSPAP may need another apn settings and specific radio?

I don't know how to get it to work properly with AT&T, and I don't know their APN settings. But there's this thing called "google" that might be able to steer you in the right direction.

Already try different apn settings but nothing work that's why i recur to you guys if can point me on the right direction

I know it's been a while, so hopefully you had the issue resolved. If not, have you tried contacting Cricket? I just switched with my Nexus 4, and in a chat they were able to provide all the info to set up Access Point Names. The same settings are listed at this website: https://apn.gishan.net/settings/60_22_cricket_apn_settings_for_lg_google_nexus_4.php
Upon rebooting the phone, a symbol "H" appeared next to the cellular symbol. Looks like it's better than 3G, although not quite 4G. However, it works for me just fine.

[Q] How to enable band 3 lte on nexus 4, running rooted 4.4.2?

Hi,
I did google around this subject, but unfortunately that just left me very confused!
I need to enable band 3 LTE on my Nexus 4. I am running Android 4.4.2, rooted and all that. I have to stay on this version because I can't manage to share the VPN connection when tethering on other versions. (Long story).
How do I enable band 3 LTE? Complicating factor: the middle of the touchscreen is broken so I can't use the keypad properly .
Many thanks.

There is an app in the google playstore. It's called LTE Enabler.... Try using that

There is no band 3 LTE on the Nexus 4. The only LTE band the Nexus 4 is physically capable of supporting is band 4, and this was left dormant (which is why a hack is required to enable it). My guess is it has band 4 LTE because the only US carrier to offer the Nexus 4 was T-Mobile, which had the rights to use band 4 (and only band 4), but at the time of release, they hadn't yet upgraded their network yet to support LTE. So rather than jump through the FCC hoops to get it certified, they just left it dormant. Regardless, you can only get LTE on band 4 on the Nexus 4.
