Hi,
Images true different apps via UMTS always are blurry and when I switch to a wifi connection all images looks fine.
Is there a setting or a switch that I can say “okay tab you are on UMTS but act like it’s on wifi” it’s me really sick that I am reading news topics with burry images.
I have a high speed UMTS subscription so it is not necessary that I am loading blurry images for mobile mode.
Regards,
Rob

Maybe your cell provider is automatically reducing image-quality to lower bandwidth? My provider in the Netherlands did this, usually you can ask your provider to switch it off...
Hi,
Thanks for replay, which provider do you have I am also living in the Netherlands and have Vodafone.
regards,
Rob
Hi Morkman,
Also Vodafone but I might have remembered incorrectly. Maybe this was only possible on one of those USB-dongle data plans. It can't hurt to ask though...
Good luck.
I have the same issue in nl... turn off your proxy in the apn settings and you should be fine... t-mobile nl does this too...
Proxy is not used with vodafone.
When I put my sim into my mifi device that's act like a wifi router then it works oke because then I am connected with wifi.
Personal I think when a device see that traffic come from umts the compression is default.

Hi All,
first off, thank you all for this amazing collection of information on this device and the rest of the android world. I have been a reader since I got my first MT3G in April of '10.
quick question. I noticed that every so often my phone (MT4G) loses its service connection. (little x over the bars in the notification panel) when this happens, I cannot call, text or access the internet. it usually cycles back on after a couple minutes. the fact that it comes back and it has happened both at work and at home makes me think its my phone's radio and not a tower issue.
stock rom
I do have the network mode set to WCDMA only.
anyone else have this issue? any thoughts or suggestions?
I've only seen this in an area that had no t mobile coverage. I assume this meant it was on an at&t tower for emergency calls only.
Could also be a sim issue but I'm not suggesting anything specific.
Does this happen with umts enabled?

hhmm.. the sim is pretty new, i think i converted from my old voicestream card to a new tmo card when i got the mt3g last year...
honestly, i don't think i had this issue when it was set to gsm/wcdma auto.
I guess i'll try turning the network setting back to that and see if the problem persists.
Thanks!

When you have it set "wcdma only" its only going to connect to 3g/4g. T- mobile's 3g is very spotty so it going to drop signal every now and then. If you switch it to "gsm or wcdma" it will pick up "edge" also so you won't lose signal. If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

wireless networks/ mobile network settings/ network operators... click it and let it populate... when it does select auto... also make sure use packet data is ticked...
best i have with the given info...hope it helps...
if not it might be in something you flashed if youre rooted... might try a hard reset if the first idea fails...
Hello, I have no problem receiving an LTE signal on BCE (Canada) through the Phone Info Menu. I can select any of the preferred network types including LTE, LTE/GSM, CDMA, LTE/GSM/CDMA but it won't stay. Every day I have to go back into the menu and it reverts back to the first selection "WCDMA".
Does anyone know how to force this so it stays on LTE/GSM/CDMA. So it will stay on the LTE-enabled network unless there is a loss of signal and it reverts back to HSPA? It does this automatically when "LTE/GSM/CDMA is selected, but again reverts to CDMA within a day usually.
I did some searches here, but 99% of what comes up is just people asking how to enable LTE or if their network gets it?
Any ideas? Maybe some sort of macro thing.
Regards.
Add this line in build prob
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
Save
Reboot
Now in settings/more/mobile networks u will have an option to choose and it will stick. U have to add the line every time u flash ROMs.
But I keep iron WC DMA/gsm for better battery speed is OK on h+
Thanks for the helpful reply man. I haven't edited a build.prop yet, so Ill have to check it out.
Alright thats all done now, works like a charm. Like that I have the option now either way. I typically stick to WCDMA/GSM when on the road or at work where LTE is spotty, but on days off for around town I would rather just be on LTE as I usually just looking up something quick when Im shopping or something.
Thanks again.

Nice
I keep it at LTE, it does have less bars but quality is same for me, speeds are amazing. Also 4G is only data, not voice, so when u have an active call it will change to 3G.(but that's not the phone it's the network)
don't forget to do it again if you flash new ROM, also Tethering WiFi won;t work, there is a fix but it's complected for me, so I just go to W/G if I need to share connection.
So, my Nexus 4 shipped today, and it'll be in my grubby little hands by tomorrow evening. I, unfortunately, can't activate it until March, as I have to wait for my Verizon contract to end, but I keep seeing this LTE stuff, with no real explanation. I do know that the Nexus 4 has an inactive LTE radio in it, but what's the use of activating it, if T-Mobile doesn't have LTE? Is this only for the AT&T users?

There are other threads dealing with who can access LTE in the USA. I am in Canada and on Bell.
I'm in Canada, using Fido. I activate the LTE on my Nexus 4. It works fine, but I'm not able to share internet with wifi hotspot.
I have Android 4.2.1 (latest OTA from Google).
There is a bug with this version or it's only because I activate LTE manually ?
As per the previous comment:

what is the fix to get hotspot internet sharing with the Nexus 4 ? Do i have to had a APn for 3G and swith that it to share my connection ?
I'm with the original firmware. Android 4.2.1
process com.android,phone hase stopped working
i recently got a rom from revolt on my n4 and i switched cdma to lte gsm wcdma auto
i also went into build.prop and wrote down telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1. i went and to setting, more, mobile networks chose the correct setting. so now i got 4G. great i can make calls. GREAT. but i cannot receive calls...
need help with this. im really choked about this ROM
Even if I select "LTE/CDMA" in the Mobile network settings menu. The settings page keeps displaying "CDMA preferred".
Does this mean it didn't work? In quick settings, I see my mobile data connection as 3G Bell.
LTE only seems to work when using the *#*#4636*#*# trick in the Phone app.

Would you have by any chance the line for the built.prop to stick the setting to GSM Auto (PRL)?
TIA!

Thanks, but LTE doesn't work in my country, its always stick on lte/gsm/wcdma but it doesnt detect my gsm so i have to manually set it on GSM only but wont stick here every time i restart my phone i have manually set it on GSM only otherwise it wont detect my network
Any advice ?
How can I make "WCDMA Only" the default selection?
Where I Iive there is no LTE and the coverage of the service is quite poor, so the phone keeps jumping between E and 3G/H. I have to manually go into the phone app and select "WCDMA Only" is there a build prop tweak to make the "WCDMA Only" the default option instead of "WCDMA Preferred"?
Thank you.
So is there a way to get the nexus 4 to work on Verizon ??

Aah Crap ! Well thanks man saved me from buying on guess i will have to stick with my rezound for now then
fixed it
For everyone still searching for a solution to this problem, this worked for me. Go to phone information and turn your radio off. Then switch to LTE/GSM/CDMA then power down, DO NOT TURN YOUR RADIO BACK ON. Now remove your Sim card, put it back in, reboot and you should be good to go. DO NOT HGO BACK INTO PHONE INFORMATION OR ELSE IT WILL NOT STAY
If it still isn't connecting try fiddling around with your APN settings.
Hi,
Has anyone find a way to toggle from 2G/3G/LTE automatically.
I've tried Tasker, but ii says it's not supported.
I've tried Smart Networks for Xposed but I loose all connection when it tries to get back to LTE.
I've also tried Toggle Network Type 5.0 and I also can't get back to LTE.
I don't know about LTE because my network doesn't support it, but my phone automatically switches between 2g/3g.
In theory, Android will automatically try to search and connect to the fastest network available. So I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I want to limit it to 2G when screen is closed and bring it back to best network when screen is on.
Oh. That looks like an oxygen issue then. Maybe ask on oneplus forums, you might get a better reply there.

Gravitybox can do it.
