Help LTE issues

[Lineman69]

I have watched every video on getting the nexus 4 to do LTE in Canada. My provider "SaskTel" has installed a lte network. I am trying to turn on the netowrk. I do and it says on the settings but never shows LTE in the menu or gets anywhere near the LTE speeds.

Any help would be grateful.

Did you follow any guide to do this? The general process involves flashing the .33 radios, enabling it in the hidden phone menu, changing the build.prop to add/change a couple of lines, and then adding the proper apn settings for your carrier. Did you do this procedure?

no... the one i did was *#*#4636#*#* then phone info and change setting GSM/LTE Auto

You have to do all the steps I listed above in order for LTE to work. The .48 or .53 radios have code that disables the use of LTE when using them, so downgrading to the .33 radio is necessary. That dial code is one of the steps required. Also needed is the build.prop and apn changes in order to tell the device how to connect to lte services and from which carrier to connect to.

that defiantly not what i did. i seen a video saying that the phone code was the only step you needed. thanks for the info I am going to do some more research.

Check out this guide here: http://androidforums.com/nexus-4-all-things-root/705892-t-mobile-lte-t-lte-added-well.html

The only difference will be that you need the apn settings from your carrier for LTE rather than using the T-Mobile/AT&T apns listed in that guide.
