Recently I bought a Reliance Jio Sim for my nexus 4. But When I plugged it in, It doesn't register on any network.
Anybody knows how to make it work..
I tried changing Cellphone network in Settings to LTE. (didnt work)
I also tried 2nd method which i saw in one of Unbox Therapy Video.
I.e. dialing *#*#4636#*#* from dialer app
then selecting Phone Information .
Inside that Set Preferred network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
That to didnt work.
Anybody knows any work around.
Thanks in advance.

Our Nexus 4 is an 3G device even if you switch it to LTE(4G) it wont register, because Jio and all those other 4G sim in India uses different Band than aboard carriers.

Which band does 4G network in US work on ..?
Taken from Quora:
Reliance holds the license for 2300 MHz spectrum all over the country plus, 800 MHz spectrum in 10 circles and 1800 MHz spectrum in 6 circles for all kinds of services. 1800 MHz band is one of the most popular bands for deploying LTE services across the world, due to considerable advantages over 2300 MHz band. Around 44% of global 4G networks are deployed over 1800 MHz spectrum.

You'll have to flash hybrid modem. Check this post: http://www.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-4-lollipop-lte/

Swapnil .. 4G wont work in our device.. Only 1-2 bands are supported on our nexus 4 ..
New 4G band auction is going to happen very soon .. Maybe then we can get 4G from some carrier..
But its not worth it .. As i have read somewhere the antennae is there in phone but not the amplifier... So you'll get very weak signals all the time and it'll drain your battery very fast..

Even though you have Nougat on your phone, the modem is still the old one (because you might be knowing that Google doesn't support this phone since last 2 years i.e. after lollipop).
And as I mentioned earlier in my post, JIO can be used on Nexus 4, see this post on facebook.
What Nougat ROM do you have BTW?
Nitin
Is LTE really working on Nexus 4 in India? If so, on what carriers? If someone would be kind enough to confirm. Its just that, other than one person everyone is saying no. Really like my Nexus 4, don't want to buy a new phone
PS: Haven't bought a 4G sim yet, just waiting for confirmation.
I came to know that it only works in LTE band 4; and this band is not used in India. So LTW WILL NOT WORK in India. Don't know why that guy posted that on facebook (to which I linked on last page)
Nitin
Nexus 4 doesnt support TD LTE even after flashing hybrid modem. heck it doesnt even support remianing LTE bands. so no go
This really sucks guys, considering we would have achieved free services till 31st dec

Shocked to read this. Expectations from a device released in late 2012. But i think you can try multiboot kitkat/jellybean for LTE hacks with mm/n till dec 31.
My N4 is on your build NitrogenOS 7.1.1 but Jio ? Have you tried jio on N4?

Have you personally tried Jio on N4?
I follow your NitrogenOS releases and was happy to see the LTE recommendation in the settings.But today I've tried jio sim on my N4, the device has shown the Jio 4G but with a warning, NO SERVICE should I have to tweak something in the phone information provided by *#*#4636#*#* ??

Unfortunately 4G/ LTE can not be used on Nexus 4 in India (I think the post on FB to which I linked was misleading)
No, I've not tried jio SIM on my phone

Fine, we're only left with an option to upgrade our hardware ??? 4G on N4 is only possible when some network carriers get band 4 1700/2100 AWS
see this
Ok...so u cant use jio...its ok...take 4g 'IDEA' sim ...recharge I with 4g one month plan......then turn this sim on in any 4g mobile.....use some internet...then take it out out and put it in any 3g phone....u will be able to use free calling feature and 1gb daily internet on 3g speed.....
Various websites confirm its compatible with LTE band 17. My other phone connects to it while in my house, but the Zenfone will mostly connect to HSPA+, or sometimes LTE band 2. I cannot get it to stay connected to LTE unless I get into town or on the highway. (Actually as I'm typing, it switched to LTE band 2, but in awhile it will go back to HSPA)
If I root is there any way to unlock band 17? I'm in the US and my carrier runs off AT&T towers. I got this phone specifically because band 17 reaches far off places much better but I am unable to use it.
Edit: I just realized the model number in the Android settings is "asus_Z012DA" and that apparently is not a US variant. I didn't know about the different variants at all. Am I out of luck?

Hi!
Your correct model for band 17 should be Z012DC, the same used in Brazil.

For the time being yes you are. There is a way to unlock LTE bands on Qualcomm devices, but it seems ASUS has a fail safe built into kernel preventing it at the moment. If there is ever a custom rom developed for your phone then it maybe possible to unlock band 17. Until then no. I have been trying on my Zenfone 3 Ultra. Got as far as entering in the values for the bands I want and when I reboot it resets them to default. You can read up on it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/help-putting-phone-usb-diag-mode-t3571627
Me and another user have been working on it. Maybe it might work for your phone. Always a chance.

Yeah I realize that now. Even though I'm stuck with my phone, I still can't find the z012dc for sale anywhere. Practically no seller online lists which variant it is. In fact, after a few hours of research, I never even knew there was specifically variants.

Whoa thanks man. I'll keep checking back and maybe I'll try it myself. Seems you guys are close.
I must say though, this isn't a complete deal breaker, though I am stuck with this phone anyway. The Hspa network is actually FASTER than LTE band 17 in my house. I'm just afraid if I travel somewhere and only band 17 is available I might run into some trouble. But then again, 3g or Hspa might still be able to connect.
Its ok if MODs want to delete this i have posted same thread in Q&A section
Hello,
I am using Redmi Note 3 SD version. I have used it since December 2016 with Jio(India)
It worked perfectly. Now after using it with Vodafone 4G , i faced issue with 4G and most of the time got 3G network which i thought was restricted to that carrier.
Now i switched back to Jio and 4G drops constantly in some areas where other phones work perfectly with same SIM
I unlocked Bootloader flashed old MIUI version and rooted my phone
I installed Network Guru in that
for Band 40(2300) it drops constantly with LTE RACH being Radio Link Failure and Failure at MSG2
When i lock it to BAND 5(850) it works perfectly. Can someone help me find out whats the issue? I would love to get back to using all the bands as this may prevent me from using network in some areas
I have a LG K20 Plus from MetroPCS. the phone is already unlocked and it only receives 2G signal when I am using outsode USA.
I checked APN and every other setting I could find through internet but the problem still remains the same.
Does anyone know how to access the hidden network menu and activate the necessary baseband to get 4G?
3845#*260# ----->>> secret menu for lg phones
didn't work.
*#546368#*260#
Field test, then modem settings, rat selection. Then you can choose 2g/3g/4g etc. Gsm/wcdma is just 3g(hspa). Gsm/cdma/lte is 4g obviously.
Theres a ton of other settings within that service menu also
Hello please i have entered the code and followed the instructions but its still not working
Which company are you trying to use outside the US?
The K20 has a pretty limited selection of LTE bands, it may not support your carrier. There is no practical way to add LTE bands unless your'e a wiz at editing hexadecimal in the baseband nvram, like some have done for Samsung Galaxy phones.
*#*#4636#*#* will get your phone to test mode
Sent from my LG K20 Plus using XDA Labs
Help needed urgently!!!
Have a similar issue....from Nigeria specifically....Can someone pls post a tutorial on how we can enable additional LTE bands or at least get a 3G network on this phone ..its really frustrating working with 2G...
HELP NEEDED URGENTLY!!!
I have the same problem in Switzerland. It works with 2G but can not switch to 4G on my LG K20 Plus. It is unlocked but I got it in the US with Metro PCS.
Help much appreciated!
Having the same problem here in the Philippines, can someone help. 2g is not helping me but stressing me out!
K20 does not receive 4g connection outside of US.
