when i go to place a call to someone it only displays that the call is 4G and not 4g LTE. I think it used to do this but i dont know what changed that. Anyone got any ideas? Does the other persons phone have to be able to do voice over lte in order to my phone to say 4G LTE when on a call? thanks kinda confused
Phone calls are through 4g not 4g lte

Anyone having issues with transition between 4g and LTE areas? I was in such an area today and whenever my GS3 would come out of LTE and back into 4g, my data stopped working completely. Had to bounce airplane mode to get data service back. I remember the gnex going through a similar issue (may still be)...anyone else experience this?

None so far here, but the only time I drop to HSPA is during or after a call. Inline any other LTE phone I have used(a LOT) this one always has transitioned right back for me.

happening to me everyday (Bell, but its the same phone), I called CS and they are aware of the problem and there is a patch coming soon apparently.
Just got my nexus 4 yesterday. Love it. But the phone is jumping wildly between 3g and hspa+ in a service area that my note 2 had no trouble holding a 4g signal. wondering if this is a Sim card issue, or if anyone else is having similar problems?
Yes, that is how its supposed to work. Carrier branded phone just don't show the change in the status bar. It is functioning the exact same way.
Nothing to worry about.
Just a heads up, the N4 doesn't show a H+ logo but just the H.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and make sure your network says HSPAP

It's jumping between hspap and umts. Driving me nuts!
It will only switch to HSPAP when needed otherwise it will stay on umts in order to save battery life. No worries this is normal

Your note 2 is doing the exact same thing. All gsm phones do this. It idles on 3g and when data is called it switches to hspa.

T-Mobile makes the icon for both UMTS and HSPA+ the same icon that's why do you not see it change. Google makes the icons the way the network mode is.
That makes sense! Thanks so much for the help.
Is anyone using T-mobile for making calls only, no data and using a different service for data?
I am wanting to use T-mobile for my phone calling service but I want to use my hotspot/modem for wifi as it always goes with me and I am already getting a good deal on it. So I am looking to see if anyone has done this. When I talk to T-mobile they say that their pay as you go has no data but I am wondering if there is any way for T-mobile to interfere with my wifi hotspot/modem. BTW I am new to smart phones.
No you can do that. Just have your Nexus 4 connected to the WiFi hotspot all the time and you will be fine. It won't interfere with your cellular connection for phone calls and messaging

This will work. I did this when I used a phone that didn't have T-Mobile bands.

We all know 4g phone can't make phone call while 4g on, all 4g turn to 3g while making phone call or incoming call automatically, recently, I bought a new HTC one, I found that it turn back to 4g within 3sec after every phone call, but my S4 takes about 10sec to do so, I have a note2 4g too, it does the same, is this related to system setting or hardware problem? Thanks

Do 7 seconds really matter?
Me Gusta!
Some people may say the extra few seconds are a benefit.
When the phone is on 4g and you make a call, doesn't it take a few seconds to switch to 3g or 2g to make the call? If so, once you ended a call, the next call, if made quickly would initiate quicker ad the phone is already on 3g or 2g.

Doesn't matter, just wondering what make this happen, is the software part Samsung can do better? In note 2 I thought it's related to Samsung own CPU, but now, my S4 using a same CPU as HTC one one,

I have been using Wifi tethering on my ATT Galaxy S4. Shouldn't I be able to tether and make a phone call at the same time? I tether, then make a call, and I no longer am able to ping through my phone. I can ping the wireless interface on the phone, but nothing else.
Anyone else able to do this? Seems like it should be possible.
I've noticed, for myself being on Rogers Wireless LTE, whenever I receive a call 3G and HSPA take over and LTE shuts off until the phone call it is completed

I think it has to do with voice over LTE or HD voice if i am not wrong.
If they don't have HD voice calling it will drop to HSPA
Well where I'm at, I don't think LTE for calls has been implemented yet for any carriers

This is with 4G as well. I tether, internet works fine. I then place a call and no longer can get to the internet.
Is this a limitation of the phone or the ATT network?

No, this is an issue with the phone/software. Tether on a call works fine on the Galaxy S III (it also drops back to 4G from LTE when you make a call, but tethering keeps working)
