Some users were able to get the 3G-only phone onto 4G LTE networks in Canada, but it wasn&#8217;t exactly a widespread exploit. It apparently was enough of an issue, however, for Google to patch it out in the latest Android update. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anandtech.com\/show\/6745\/nexus-4-jdq39-422-ota-update-removes-unofficial-lte-on-band-4\">Anandtech<\/a> reports that the latest Android update hitting the Nexus 4 &#8211; Android 4.2.2 &#8211; has removed the ability for the Nexus 4 to access LTE networks on band 4. Before, users could simply access LTE by choosing band 4 under Phone Info. That method of connecting to LTE has now been removed, and it doesn&#8217;t look like there&#8217;s any other way to access it. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the guys from Anandtech showing how the Nexus 4 automatically kicks users off of LTE after the update: <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"616\" height=\"347\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TuQshwLtNWY?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an unfortunate turn of events for those who were getting LTE speeds on such a cheap phone, but it really was only a matter of time before Google patched it out. If you still want to get access to LTE, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2013\/02\/14\/nexus-4-android-4-2-2-update-removes-unofficial-lte-support\/\">Droid Life<\/a> suggests users either wait on updating or hope an enterprising developer takes out the radio update from the latest Android update. <\/p>\n<p>Either way, Nexus 4 owners will probably find a way around this latest update to keep getting their LTE speeds. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=rdDKQi7EENw:PqXVPzA2g_w:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/rdDKQi7EENw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November, it was discovered that Google&#8217;s Nexus 4 had a LTE chip in it.
