Some enterprising folks in Canada discovered that, in spite of several reports that said the contrary, you can, in fact, use LTE on the Google Nexus 4.
We’ve shown you a video as a proof, and the thread on XDA-forums where the news first broke is full of people that managed to activate LTE on their Nexus 4. However, there are some caveats – it appears that only a specific LTE band is supported – Band 4 (also known as AWS). AWS includes spectrum in the 1710-1755 MHz band for uplink and 2110 to 2155 MHz for downlink.
AWS spectrum is currently used by several North American carriers:
- Bell (Canada)
- Rogers (Canada)
- Telus (Canada)
- AT&T (United States, in some markets)
- T-Mobile (United States, no LTE)
Instructions
- Open the dialer.
- Type *#*#4636#*#* to enter the Testing menu
- In the Testing Menu, change the radio mode from GSM Only (it might be WCDMA Preferred also) to LTE.
- Some users reported that in order to enable LTE they needed to create a new APN.
So, why did Google and LG denied that the Nexus 4 is LTE capable? As my colleague Stefan said, it might be a problem of PR – Google probably didn’t want to confuse customers by offering a phone that can work on LTE only in some parts of the world, or worse, in some parts of one country.
