cm13 not switching to anything other than wdcma only. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks , title says it all. I switched to cm13 from chroma , performed a full system wipe including sd card. So far so good but the only problem is , gsm doesn't work. I can't switch to it. Not from the settings and not from the dialer hidden menu. When i select gsm , it immediately switches back. It's always "Wdcma Only". Is this a known bug ? I scoured xda but haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Edit : Flashed the stock radio from 5.1.1 to no avail , also tried the 33-1.07 hybrid modem again doesn't switch. Using the latest December 27th build.

There was a bug report in the mako CM13 thread about being unable to switch between 2G and 3G, perhaps this is the same issue?
I think someones written a patch and just waiting for it to be merged.
Can you explain to me why you want to switch between them? My phone automatically switches, if 3G is available, it uses that, if its not, it drops back to the best available 2G signal automatically. Why would you choose not to use 3G if its available and just let the phone automatically switch?

What you're talking about is wcdma preferred mode. Mine is stuck on wcdma only. Which means i don't have gsm so it won't switch automatically. That and the fact that i rarely use 3g because i'm always on wi-fi somewhere , using gsm saves battery. also on lollipop 3g modem took horribly long wake locks that lasted for %70 of the idle time so i hate msm.hsic.wakelock. But if it is a known bug , i'm relieved because that should be patched soon. Without me having to restore my backup. Thanks.

I just flashed CM13 on my wife's nexus 4 and I realized LTE wasn't enabled. Googled it and it seems there was an app for lollipop to enable it but it didn't work out for me.
Is it a CM13 bug thing or am I missing something?

Thanks for the heads-up. I checked it , i think it hasn't been merged yet. So we gotta wait for tomorrow's release i guess.

Can anyone get their Nexus 4 running a recently nightly (like Jan 8th 2016) successfully switch to LTE? The fix in question was merged a few days ago.
Even though I can go into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and successfully switch to LTE/GSM auto, or LTE/CDMA auto, and the radio *does* appear to power-cycle, it still says on 3G/H+ (so the status bar icon says). Never had this issue with CM12.
My build.prop also says my preferred network mode is 9, even after rebooting, which should keep it on LTE. Any ideas?

The only way to have LTE is to change that patch to include LTE instead of only GSM and WCDMA but since LTE isn't fully supported on nexus 4, a patch like that will never be merged.
Probably someone will make one "lte enabler" for cm13, just wait (or help)

Build with that patch

i saw this and since i wanted to figure out how to build cyanogenmod anyways, i went and built cm13 with the LTE included in where the patch discussed here should have added it. I have yet to test it on my device but thought people here might be interested in it.
let me know if it works out.
i would post a link, but since this is my first post it won't let me. i guess message me directly for it? or maybe someone can and then post the link here?

lannister80 should be posting a link to it shortly, but i thought i would give an update that i did test it on my device last night and LTE does work with it. the normal issues of making sure you have the right modem and then changing it in the *#*#* thing. i had to change mine to LTE only first and then it would work when i changed it to LTE /gsm auto... but it does work.

Confirmed that this build does enable LTE. I did have to, as zachron mentioned, set the radio to "LTE only" first (which enabled LTE), and then "LTE/GSM auto", (which kept LTE enabled, and will hopefully jump down to HSPA+ or 3G when necessary). Switching to "LTE/GSM auto" first did not work (radio turned off, but came back on in HSPA+/3G mode).
I'll roam around today and see if I lose data at any time (when LTE isn't available).
Thanks @zachron!!

Which is insane, because they absolutely allowed this in the last several major CM versions (12, 11, probably 10 and 9). Enabling LTE was one of the first things I did after getting my Nexus 4 in March 2013, and I was on an official CM build for years.
The "enabler" just messes with build.prop and makes some database changes to make the setting "stick" after reboot, so it must have been an allowed option when it was built (the enabler can't change that).
I don't know what the deal with the sudden change of heart is...

What the crap 5.1 in Verizon N6?

http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/
Does voLTE require a hardware upgrade or is this potentially a feature that all n6s can enjoy?
-----------------------<SiG>-------------------
My house phone is better than your iPhone.
T-mobile is actually testing VoLTE on N6. I think it will be in the OS. Time will tell.
Band 12 volte and WiFi calling I hope but I'm more interested in performance and battery improvements

While that may or may not be accurate they at least have some good news. I won a Nexus 9 from them during the 20 days of giveaways in December so they aren't all bad.
As far as 5.1 goes if its out on VZW then it will be out on all Nexus 6's as far as I'm concerned. Whether or not google posts the ROM devs can likely extract the files and incorporate them into a ROM. Let's see what happens because I would like to use B12 and WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I know T-Mobile has to enable some things in their end for it to work but at least we would have the software here ready and waiting.
With all the issues the N6 has on Sprint I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon wants that fixed before releasing on their network. Maybe the texting and call issues are CDMA related rather than Sprint specific?
I've had my N6 on Verizon for months, and everything works perfectly.

Same, with the exception of the network extender. On the extender, no 3G data and the signal indicator goes wonky. It also tries very hard to connect to an outside tower rather than the extender...
Hope they fix the data icon and connections taking long to actually connect
Have Verizon actually got a n6 with 5.1 or is it just hearsay.

Edit: hit return too quick.
I don't recall seeing anything official from Verizon or Google that it will be 5.1. I think that's what everyone is guessing based on the features posted by Verizon for the phone, T-Mobile comments and that 5.1 has been spotted somewhere in the world on some handsets. I'm looking forward to it as I have a lot of problems with WiFi and Bluetooth which I hope this will clear up. Also, if rumors are true and we get wifi calling, band 12 (t-mobile customer) and VoLTE, all the better.

Can't get LTE working on CM12.1

Hi, so today I have installed CM12.1 unofficial on my S5. I loved the rom, everything was perfect but I couldn't get LTE working. My Note 4 (N910c) gets 2 bars of indication in the same room, speed is 20mbs+. When I launch mobile data on S5, it takes long to estabilish connection, then only gets H+, and after several seconds it drops to 3G What can I do? CM is blazing fast compared to stock ROMs, but I can't imagine myself using 3G to YT/web etc... Help please! I have the newest modem/bl (BOC7).
I'm sure you've already checked your APN settings to be what your carrier advises. If not that is something to start with.
If you're on att,
Also look into your build.prop to add in/modify the following accordingly:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
ro.product.name=klteuc
ro.product.device=klteatt

I am not ATT, i'm from Poland so Soo.. weird situation today. I've been in city centre where LTE signal is pretty good. For like 3-4h it was constantly switching between 3G/H/H+, and suddenly it caught LTE. Now I am at home and it still connects to LTE, 2 bars just like in Note 4. I am pretty confused now. It seems that modem/kernel/APN are all right, maybe a kind of system trigger that "stabilizes" the signal? 3G/H+ has 5 bars here, LTE only 2. I have already put a tick to "LTE (preffered) in network options. How about this?
EDIT
Rebooted the phone, again, no LTE
Wow that is cool! I remember my CM12 used to constantly wobble between H/H+ and once I finally gave up messing with it and screen turned off for 15-20 minutes, I'd turn the screen back on and find myself on a 4G LTE signal (feeling great). Once I made a call it drops to 3G, which is normal, but after I'd hang up it wouldn't necessarily switch back to 4G any time soon.
So I gave edgarf28's XtreStoLite a shot and haven't looked back since! It is touchwiz based, but it is light, debloated, lighting fast, and it just works. I'm on XtreStoLite 2.1, and I have no complains at all.
I have the same problem on a SM-G900T running on AT&T. After every reboot can only get H/H+ leave it alone and will grab LTE 10 to 40 mins after the screen is off. Leave the screen on and won't grab LTE. And of course make a phone call you lose LTE connection. And how long it takes to get back is very random. I can't find a solution to this and got a G900T so I can run AOSP. I was tired of touchwiz and trying to get themed apps and dialers. now I am screwed I wish I could find a solution to this.
No 3g but have lte
I know this is probably in the wrong spot so I'm sorry.
I just clean flashed my sm-g900r4 to cm12.1 cyan ROM 20150428
I have working lte data but no 3g, so when I move out of lte area the signal icon just shows an exclamation point, any help would be greatly appreciated.
The way I fixed mine was by removing all apn entries I didn't need. This caused the search for LTE to speed up no issues since

I really don't know why the development stopped for klteusc, but if I were to guess, I'd guess it is probably covered under another variant.
For example, since klteusc is a cdma phone I won't be surprised to see US cellular CM getting absorbed into kltespr development. But this is just a hypothetical scenario because I couldn't find any proof. But it is worth looking into if anyone is talking about it online.

When you flash the newest version of the Enabler it will also flas the latest hybrid modem. THe you go to your dialer and tap in the following *#*#4636#*#* and a screen will pop up and select phone information . You will then be presented with a screen that will list all the phone info.. move down to where it says select prefered network type. Press on it and it will offer you a selection of options.

This enables LTE on the phone. It has the physical capability to operate on LTE, however, the phone never got FCC approval for it, so LG left LTE off by default, with HSPA being the fastest spectrum it is capable off without modifying the modem and files. Flashing this package will modify your modem an build.prop to allow it to operate on the LTE Band 4 spectrum, which is what is used in the US. If you are outside the US, you will only see any benefit if Band 4 is used in your area.
Cliff Notes is that it makes your mobile data a whole lot faster.

[Brilliant News] [CM12.1][VK810] Look what I came across

Hello fellas
I was just looking around for device trees and latest work done on VK810 to see if i could contribute and i came across this. Removed link in case someone really is stupid. See attachment! I also found GITHUB and saw very recent device tree changes so we are just weeks away from CM12.1
Now the foolish people would immediatel try to contact the developers and ask for ETA and bother the very few developers who want to work on this device. If you piss the developer, they won't touch your device again and trust me it would be a great loss to community because this promises us stable device tree and kernel sources which means that all next android versions released by google could be easily worked on. As device tree is base for all development. Please don't f*** it up for others !
The wise ones would wait PATIENTLY because it's just few weeks away to have all the love for our device. Another member is in contact with another developer and he promised CLEANROM in very near future for Verizon Vk810 G PAD LTE.
Update CLEANROM released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...-4-4-2-24a-smooth-clean-t3105587#post60673234
I am glad to be bearer of good news.
Update
I and another user tried CM12.1 and only the data is not working. So once the data is fixed. We'd have working tree with CM with other Roms to follow.

Rest is fine!

Sure mate. I am working on a Root for our device at the moment for 35A. I have succeeded in it as well. Just need to make default app as SuperSU

Yes, I plan to update the my thread in general section by tomorrow. I succeed in doing everything but I needed confirmation if it works or not for others as well. That's all.
Are you in a hurry ?

It is still in development. Data and GPS does not work.
At the moment, he's (developer) still trying to sort out blobs

Last time someone ported CyanogenMod they never got data working. I tried to make adjustments, modem, build.prop, tore kernel apart, several wasted attempts. Figured it was a caf issue and different commits. So I bought a Nexus 7 LTE, slapped my sim in and ran. I like my GPad just not the limitations set upon me by a locked down Boot loader. To be honest my signal is stronger w N7. So I don't even use data on it. Do wish I could get rid of that annoying "no sim" alert.

Tried the ROM... VIK is much smoother, can't speak of data. SIM is in N7

The baseband being "Unknown", which is what I got too with a Verizon SIM in, means it doesn't even recognize that you have a modem,so you can tell already it wouldn't work even with your SIM in it.

Yeah, I didn't have my sim in. I may try with sim. Not sure its worth trouble though. This N7 sim tray is a pain. But its probably going to be same issue as with the cm11 port. The 12.1 doesn't impress me. Locked bootloader puts so many limitations. GPad in general is nice, better with L, but I get better data reception on the N7?

Are you kidding me? All carriers except Verizon?

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but I thought the 6P was an unlocked device agnostic to all carriers.
I'm tempted to see what happens if I flash this factory fresh on my 6P which is on Verizon.
Edit: If I were to take a guess, either Verizon only wants their Pixel line of devices on 7.1.1, or there is an actual problem.
Regardless, I may bootloader unlock my device again if Verizon gets shafted in the update for 6P
Yeah, that caught me off guard too. Killed the Dev Preview, and updated everything EXCEPT for working on Verizon. Dev Preview 2 worked on VZW, so my question is, what the heck did they break so bad that now VZW doesnt work?
Could it just be something to do with the Visual Voicemail on Verizon being cooked into the newest 7.1.1 build?
But I am no way defending Verizon from being Evil. They are the Evil CDMA Red Dragon for sure.

I would hope. We may be giving Verizon too much credit though. However I would do the opposite of complain if they did bake in VMM and Wifi Calling into 7.1.1 Nexus. Or heck, even one of those would be nice
Sooooo the real question is, who's gonna try flashing it and report back??
Really though, it must just be some sort of off the wall issue or feature that might have held it back from them alone. The 5X doesn't have the same update limit so, it's just something 6P specific. (Unless 7.1.1 brings Pixel features, and Verizon doesn't want Nexus to rain on their Pixel party just yet...)

Lol. Might want to Bootloader Unlock for that one. That is key
If i was still in Custom Rom mode for my daily driver, I'd have no problem doing so.
I just flashed it and so far calls work fine between me and another verizon phone. Messing around to see if I can find what doesn't work, if anything.
This might be a crazy idea but you might just want to flash and see if it works if it doesn't flash back to DP2 or 7.0 what is the problem?
so i flashed it, im on verizon looks like there is no sound for notifications and ringer. In settings it just shows none with no option to change, so far from what ive noticed
edit disregard that, is working

Right now I am bootloader locked with OEM unlocking unchecked. If something were to go wrong, I'd most likely be screwed. Or maybe it wont even flash for me

You can't flash anything with locked bootloader only accept official OTAs which you won't get probably because 'no verizon' so flashing it yourself is the only option really (I guess, OTAs will be rolling out to everyone over the next few days/weeks).
Everything seems to be working so far.
Created a boot.img that doesn't force encrypt. Flashed it then wiped userdata to be unencrypted. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B57DcrCR3fugajI4b3RleTlJSDg/view?usp=sharing
Then got root and adaway working using existing root stuff I had sitting around, I don't even know what the latest versions are but I used - TWRP 3.0.2, Magisk 7.0, phh superuser 17 magisk version, adaway systemless hosts v2, and adaway downloaded from f-droid.
Then flashed a zip I made with Pixel Launcher, Nexus Launcher Icons, and working stock version of the pixel Live Wallpapers with updated libs. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B57DcrCR3fugZDZaSnhYS05OSGM/view?usp=sharing
Next up: pixel navbar icons for this systemUI and build.prop edit for assistant
looks like ambient display still turns on even if set to off
I flashed it. Everything is working on vzw except Bluetooth in my GM vehicle

It's almost fully working on VZW.
The problem is, and the probable reason for that notice is, that Verizon likes to promote their devices by their sw versions. I remember when their G3 got Lollipop first........that f**kin ad was everywhere.
So I believe they would like to throw in their bloatware in to the OTA first.

Perhaps, but the DP2 radio is the same as this, and works fine for me. I'm really irritated by this, after buying from Google. It has to be some proprietary stuff to make CDMA work, except isn't sprint CDMA too? And they aren't an exception for the new release.

Well I just installed the OTA image on my Nexus 6p (which runs on Verizon). After the upgrade completed, I noticed that my data connection was not active. The phone could make calls, but no data. I tried switching in and out of airplane mode, but that didn't fix it. So I powered off the phone, then powered it back on, and all was well. I connected at 4G and everything appeared to be fine. However, I do notice is that the VoLTE setting is nowhere to be found. If I search for "voice" under settings, I see "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". But if I click it, it takes me to the "Cellular network settings" page, which does not list that setting. I just made a test call to another Verizon phone, and it didn't sound like the enhanced voice mode was active. Not really a big deal though. I'm sure a new update will correct that before long.

Aah. Well, on DP2 I noticed I was unable to call voicemail, it just hung up on me. The fix ended up being disabling enhanced lte/hd voice in my account. I still have the vvm. As dp2 is the same version as the official, that's likely the reason a separate release will be needed. Personally, I don't care about the HD Voice, but enhanced LTE would be good to get back.
