The Nexus 4 Thread

[Fifa03fan]

Can someone try if nexus 4 LTE works here in Singapore?
xda people has done it to get LTE enabled.

Check youtube video GXOY9EVZ4vA or "nexus has LTE" thread at xda

This is intriguing.

Nexus 4 is one the very rare phone that supports HSPA+ DC. In layman terms it means capable of supporting a downlink up to 42Mbit/s. My favourite telco Starhub has launched and support HSPA+ DC is Sep 2012. Has anyone tried? Please report your downlink speed here. I am expecting it to be >21Mbit/s

Singapore M1
Band 7 (2600 MHz) September 2012

Singapore Singapore Telecommunications/SingTel
Band 7 (2600 MHz) December 2011

Singapore StarHub
Band 7 (2600 MHz) September 2012

But the article say
==========
There are some caveats of course, the LTE only works on the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands, which in America is known as the AWS band. No one really uses that band, so … while it’s nice that this discovery was made, it’s not exactly useful for AT&T and Verizon customers.

So, even we can enable the LTE , it's still no use in here...

Sorry guys. I tried it. Nope. Only hspa or hspap

Wa got antenna issues ah that sucks... Totally walking the footsteps of iphone 4...

If you cover the fone tightly at the back, the signal will drop. But I don't hold the fone that tight. I tried it already...

 

[52gdpl]

Im with starhub. I dont know if that matters though.

 

[52gdpl]

The phone jack is quite tight and sits at a wierd angle.

I'm on Singtel, used speed test on normal HSPA only about 5-6mbps down and <1mbps up with full signal bars. Battery life was okay. Had 1hour of screen on time and about 22% was gone.

You have good speeds bro. Have any luck with casing? Maybe some existing case can modify for temporary use?

I usually treat my gagets carefully. Never dropped my iPhone 4 before. So i bought [XtremeGuard LCD FULL BODY Screen Protector Shield Skin] to protect the glass. Still paranoid although its touted to have gorilla glass 2.

Now people in XDA having doubts with this LG Nexus.. The build quality not that great! sian

Yeah i saw those posts. Kinda scared now... Lol. Im thinking of buying a TFU case already lol

The glass on glass design is asking to be broken only. Gorilla glass prevents scratch, not cracks, although the newer iteration boast a sturdier glass, it still will crack. Its a horrible design imo (remember all the iphone4 bashing about the glass?). But at sub 500sgd, you really cant complain much.
