one can dream

i read that a chip maker was going to implement LTE radio into one chip. also, tmobile's LTE deployment will be a newer version than what verizon has, so ive read. i think it makes use of some sort of all-in-one chip. not too sure on that...

i remember reading somewhere that the Verizon's HTC DNA worked with T-Mobile. i think this might confirm the S4 pro's built in LTE may be.

Yup! Tegra/Qualcomm/Intel are all working on it!

So, my main question is. How will we be able to use the chip if at all? Also why would Google have the chip in there and not use it?

He's right. It says it has Qualcomm LET chip. Maybe the newer Qualcomm processors have the radio implemented. Let's keep our fingers crossed

And also has a ANX7808 SlimPort® transmitter (HDMI output converter) ?
The ANX7808 is an ultra low power SlimPort® transmitter designed for portable devices such as Tablets, Smartphones, Media players, Camcorders, and Digital Still Cameras. As a member of the SlimPort family of products the ANX7808 works in conjunction with SlimPort receivers, such as the ANX7730 and ANX9832. The ANX7808 transforms the HDMI output of the mobile device’s application processor to SlimPort. External adapters can then convert SlimPort to VGA, DisplayPort, or back to HDMI so that the device can connect to any high definition TV, monitor or projector. The same connector on the device can be used for USB when a SlimPort receiver is not connected.

if this really is a LTE chip that can work, google just future proofed their phone, without telling people. i bet if they were to announce it, there would be a huge fuss by the carriers, and google would be in a bad position

Future support for lte looks probable then.
But only if carriers across the world can sort out the damn mess that's become of lte

imagine mhl but also supporting vga, dvi, displayport etc.

I can't figure out why they would put the chip on there and not list it as a feature. It would nullify one complaint by most reviewers and make the phone even more desirable.

however, this LTE chip needs to work with the carrier's bands, looking at AT&T and T-Mobile here, since the N4 is a GSM phone. hopefully LTE will work in the N4

What! Does this mean it might be possible to use in the future on carriers like Verizon? I sure hope so

Galaxy Note on T-Mobile USA?

I have T-Mobile and am in US.... I really am interested in the Galaxy note and am wondering if it is compatible with T-Mobile's 3G/"4G"/HSPA+ network? I don't know what these frequency bands mean for compatibility ...
It will only work on EDGE speeds. It doesn't have the AWS frequency (1700, 2100) required for their 3G/4G network.

interestingly, many sites point to the India specific version of the phone being a "penta band" UMTS phone. and as far as i know penta band means T-Mo AWS support no?

Hello all,
This is interesting. Is there anyways to confirm that Indian version will have "Penta" band?
I read that Note will launch in India on 3nd November. May be will have to wait to find out.

i can't find anything to suggest any carrier in India uses the 1700/2100 bands needed for T-Mo (US) 3G to work anyway. so it must be about something else.

There are many bands for UTMS, and t-mobile USA is the only one that uses 1700.
Odds are, even if it is pentaband, it still won't support 1700. It might, but it's unlikely.

what about the modem.bin from the galaxy s2 4g on the tmobile phone
I've been researching a bit and it seems that the files are about the same on these phones, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. That being said, I am in no way an expert, but I hope someone with more knowledge will chime in on this and give us a concrete answer.

phone frequency band is hardware specific. if the crystal is not tuned for the frequency, theres nothing you can do to make the phone to accept it

You will only get Edge speeds.
There is no need to confirm anything.
Hardware IS HARDWARE.
I would not consider getting T-Mobile's version of this for the sole fact that they'll mess it up by putting a pair of 1.8 ghz Qualcomm chip in there to support their 42mbps network.
It will be garbage once that happens.
At this point, you either accept it as being Edge only on T-Mobile's network, or you don't get it altogether.
Yeah I know it only works on edge but if a million iphone users are using it then it might be usable but I kinda want a real world test of the Internet and not just specs since that's the only thing that's holding me back

You could ditch T-Mob, or not worth it? I would leave my carrier for the Note.
I made an inquiry about the Note coming to T mobile directly to someone I know at Samsung. He did get back to me and said they have figured a way around the present problem with the present chip configuration and will come out with a version that will be 1700/2100 compatible. BUT, not soon (2012) and probably will be the next version of this type of 5" + smart phone ....... So it is edge only on TMO for now..............
By the time they actually get to bring something like that out the quad core chips will be out and other makers might bring out something similar hopefully.
Howdy all?
Currently I am using Dell Streak which actually was launched for AT&T. So I was only getting TMo's EDGE speed on my Streak. Which for me was not a big deal because I would only have to deal with slow speed while I am either away from home or work.
Some might find it silly, but what I did was, removed my data portion which was with the phone and actually got TMo's 4g hotspot. And I carried both, my Streak and hotspot always with me. Which for me works out alright.

[DEBUNKED] Hidden LTE Radio Capabilities?

EDIT: While the baseband may support LTE, an additional RF chip is required. Sorry
As some of you may know, I have been trying to details the hardware inside the Nexus 4, and I may have made and incorrect assumption based on the fact we were told it doesn't support LTE. I believe the Nexus 4 may have and LTE capable basband chip.
The Nexus 4 uses a snapdragon S4 PRO APQ8064. This SOC doesn't have a baseband chip at all, you have to add a separate chip.
It is unknown what baseband chip is in the Nexus 4, but we can narrow it down. As can be seen on the android central home page very very clearly, the baseband version is as follows:
M9615a-CEFWMAZM-2.01700.27
The first part of that caught my eye. M9615a. For 10 points, anyone know what baseband chip is in the Optimus G? MDM9615
M9615a... MDM9615... See where I am going with this here? Seems a little coincidental. Might be nothing but I thought I would throw it out there.
If Google is getting LG to use the same parts in the Nexus 4, then it seems to me that the Nexus 4 does support LTE (although NOT CDMA, so still no Verizon or Sprint).

It may have the onboard chip, but doesn't it need a separate (a specific type of) antenna for LTE?
Wouldn't they have to test the chip's functionality at the FCC which would alert the tech writers who watch that stuff?
Those documents can be found here. You might be able to make heads or tails of any of it (I can't)
The reality is that LTE chips are significantly expensive to add to a smartphone, like in the $200 range. Part of The reason this phone can be offered for so low off contact is because it is HSPA only. I am also quite confident that they have to dissociate all of the radios inside the phone.

Is that expense attributed to the hardware? Seems a bit high to me, I would guess it is some sort of licensing fee to use that spectrum. if thats the case having it technically not supporting it would negate the fees while still possibly having the necessary radio for it. Completely speculating though.
Hi
I expect all the gobi modem range are software compatible and the base band shown is just the software identifier.

Are you saying $200 just for LTE? Umm no. Research firms suspect it added $10 to the cost of the qualcomm chip for the iphone.
The baseband chip might support LTE (most likely it does), but the phone is probably missing the required amplifiers (LNA and PA) and filters to make it work in the LTE bands.

That sounds much more likely the case. I will say that if it's possible I guarantee the amazing development community on here will have it functioning very soon after they get hands on it!
Having read some more, the iPhone 5 uses the same chip, but has an additional chip paired with it. I couldn't find out if it was to do with the CDMA models though.

Also I would guess that qualcomm has locked out the functionality even if it is the same silicon. Common practice in the industry when you are selling a lower-end variant at a lower price. That could what the 'a' added onto the part number is for.
The second chip is the Qualcomm RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver for LTE bands, and s also found in the GSIII.

Factory image for N4 removed

Yesterday, I played around with my N4 and installed some Custom ROMs. I decided to go back to
stock ROM and only found a 404-Error for the factory images on the official Google site.
Today, I wanted to check, whether the link is fixed. To my surprise, Google completely removed the
the factory image for N4. Not a single word about it. Look here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Anyone got a clue, why?

Very kind :good:. But I already got it from a mirror.
I believe there will be an update, too. If they remove and stop offering
prior versions due to an update, the prior version should have had some
grave bugs (e.g., missing december). I cannot spot any serious bugs
in the 4.2.1 release, though.
It's removed likely because it contains LTE code and it's not a LTE certified device.. Removing it is legally the correct thing to do, and then when they are ready, replace it with a version that better locks out the LTE functionality.

It has nothing to do with LTE code. The band 4 LTE functionality is built into the LTE chip on the Qualcomm board and has nothing to do with android. Anyways Google has license agreements to include LTE in android as it needs it for AT&T and Verizon phones. It wasn't because of these licenses they excluded LTE from the Nexus it had more to do with Verizon being a pain in the ass to deal with not to mention the added costs of having to add a CDMA chip to the device. It was just easier to go with GSM for now and include LTE in the Nexus 5 next year when more carriers actually have it.

Doesn't work that way, the FCC has to certify the device for LTE operation. You can't just grab some parts and start broadcasting in certain frequencies without a license and CERTIFICATION. The Nexus 4 is NOT a LTE certified device and therefore operating as such is illegal (at least in the USA).
Check out the certifications for any phone on FCC.gov and you'll see certs for WIFI, GSM, UMTS and LTE seperately if they have all of them. GSM in 850mhz can be fine but UMTS in the same frequency is all screwed up and causing interference which is bad and therefore the device wouldn't be certified for the USA (via FCC).
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...rame=N&application_id=278241&fcc_id='ZNFE960' - Check the FCC Test Report - It only shows, GSM, WCDMA, WIFI, BT, NFC.
Here you can see the AT&T LTE Samsung SGS3
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=895441&fcc_id=a3lsphl710 - Look at the SAR testing which clearly shows LTE being tested
While I don't that's why they removed them, i'd say it's a good guess.
EDIT- If you are still not convinced here's the LG Optimus G for AT&T w/LTE
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...Frame=N&application_id=214715&fcc_id='ZNFE970'
Mentions LTE in the report (click Test Report) since it was tested for and certified for LTE.

This is correct. The One is one of many recent Sprint handsets to not include SVDO. The One does do SVLTE though.
It works fine with voice and WiFi though. I hadn't noticed no voice and data until you mentioned it, then I checked it on my phone lol.

Correct. The Evo LTE had a second CDMA radio allowing it to do simultaneous voice and data. The HTC One does not.
Only the older Snapdragon processor was able to do this.
Now days, the only Voice and Data will be through LTE. Not 3G on Sprint.

s4gru wrote about the lack of SVDO in the HTC One, "The other notable absence is SVDO support for simultaneous CDMA1X voice + EV-DO data, though its omission is growing less and less notable as time goes on. SVDO requires separate RF paths for CDMA1X and EV-DO. The first few Sprint LTE handsets did support SVDO, utilizing separate paths for CDMA1X and EV-DO/LTE. But the last nine Sprint LTE handsets have foregone SVDO, combining CDMA1X/EV-DO on a single path, so SVDO was likely just a temporary measure or a fringe benefit of the Qualcomm MSM8960 chipset and will not be a common Sprint handset feature going forward."
Maybe a slight misunderstanding of what the limitation is but I believe chipset plays a pretty definitive part in this.

Guess you're ignoring the whole system on a chip thing. Like, it's a qualcomm chipset that comes with the snapdragon processor.
Do you think you're going to get a TI chipset, with a QC processor? Of course not. This is part of the standard snapdragon configuration. It does not have 3g/voice simultaneous data. It does of course do simultaneous voice with WiFi or LTE.

Of course it does it over wifi/lte, it's the 3G/Voice that I know I'll miss and most of Sprint coverage of being non-LTE will also. My understanding was that is a perk of the old QC chipset that supported the Snapdragon we had. Well never see that combo again.
Or maybe I don't understand at all, no matter, it's the interwebs and I reserve the right to be wrong whenever I want to!

The issue with Simultaneous Voice and EvDO data is that the system-on-a-chip on this device does not have an integrated modem. None of the Qualcomm APQ series does (This device has the APQ8064T as its system on a chip, which essentially blends most of the peripherals such as GPU, CPU, etc). SVDO requires separate pathways for 1X (2G, used for calls), and EVDO (3G Data). Otherwise, only one can be used at a time. The MSM8960 (used on the EvoLTE, Photon Q, and S3) did have an integrated modem and the separate pathways for EVDO and 1X so both could be used at the same time (Data and Voice). There has been no Qualcomm device released with an integrated modem since the MSM8960 series. Not sure why, but it probably costs more. Definitely is better on battery though. The 800 (MSM8974) series should support it because it is labeled MSM, which means it has a modem integrated.

I just edited the post. Hopefully it makes more sense now. I was at school, on my phone, and too lazy to explain fully earlier. Let me know if I can clear anything else up.

The issue with Simultaneous Voice and EvDO data is that the system-on-a-chip on this device does not have an integrated modem. None of the Qualcomm APQ series does (This device has the APQ8064T as its system on a chip, which essentially blends most of the peripherals such as GPU, CPU, etc). SVDO requires separate pathways for 1X (2G, used for calls), and EVDO (3G Data). Otherwise, only one can be used at a time. The MSM8960 (used on the EvoLTE, Photon Q, and S3) did have an integrated modem and the separate pathways for EVDO and 1X so both could be used at the same time (Data and Voice). There has been no Qualcomm device released with an integrated modem since the MSM8960 series. Not sure why, but it probably costs more. Definitely is better on battery though. The 800 (MSM8974) series should support it because it is labeled MSM, which means it has a modem integrated.

The APQ series SoC is paired with an MDM9x15 for connectivity btw in the One... To my knowledge its mostly about the extra txrx paths and without them no matter if you have the super chip($) then it won't do you any good.

Xboxfanj is smart, the only dumb thing he's done is buy a LG Optimus G on a 2 year contract

I could be tethered and get a phone call
I could start up nav while getting there address over the phone
This really sucks
No kick stand

Will S4 have the same limitation?

I am actually thinking of swaying phones with my wife to get my evo lte back because of everything you just pointed out, but I do like the ONE so I'm going to give it a little more time to see if I really want those features back

[Q] Is their a way to add 4g to the Moto G 2014?

I was just wondering, as EE is giving our area 4g, ATLAST!!!! If it is possible to add a new modem or somthing, without tearing apart the phone.
No.
Maybe Motorola will release a LTE version like the first Moto G.

Yes. Buy a 4G phone and turn on it's WiFi hotspot feature, then connect the Moto G 2nd gen to it
xD No. I was wondering if there was something like the wireless charging adapters

Hypothetically, you could connect a 4G dongle via USB OTG... It would be an absurd thing to do, but hey...
Any devices that would slide under my cover?

LOL, no. You might need to contact Wayne Enterprises for something bespoke.
I don't think anything like that is yet discovered ,so you will have to either connect to 4G using a adapter or buy another phone that supports 4G
