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

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

Huawei E1750 for non-3G models

Hi. For those who purchased (or think about purchasing) non-3G models of Notion Ink Adam, and sometimes want to access internet by using 3G from their Adam tablets, they can purchase Huawei E1750 USB 3G modem. I don't know about other modems buy Huawei E1750 works with Android. However, Huawei E176 doesn't work with Android for example. Hope I could help about this
another option is to go wiht the MiFi which will give you 3G via Wifi for up to 5 devices. I moved to this so I can have one data plan for all my devices.

nice idea, but I can't really see why. Better data prices on a dongle? Custom Cantenna for hard to reach signals?

Where I live, data speeds are incredibly faster in data-only SIMs than the usual SIM even within the same carrier, they seem to be capped
This idea could be goldy if possible
I'm very interested in this too.
If the kernel modules are included, it should be trivial to write a shell script to connect using ppp.

data sims dont have voice channel on some carriers the voice channel is priority over data, some carriers even drop date when a voice call is engaged.....

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

[Q] Tmobile US questions

Hi
I'm planning to get the Z3C soon and have a few questions that I'm hoping some users with the device using tmobile could help me out with.
1. Does the SMH (wifi tethering) work on the phone? My current phone doesn't support it for some reason, and they say it's because my phone is unlocked and not from tmobile. It has the option, but just never starts.
2. How is the LTE speed? Faster/slower than what you had before? Or about the same.
3. How is the reception on the phone? I read about how the phone is displaying less bars even though the signal strength is good so I'm not worried about that.
4. Does wifi-calling work? I assuming not cause it's not from Tmobile, but I thought I would ask anyways since no one addressed it yet.
That's all I could think of that isn't already answered in one of the other threads.

No, WiFi calling will not work on any non T-Mobile branded phones. The WiFi Calling aspect is baked into t-mobiles ROMs. Non one has been able to get this to work, on any phone that is not T-Mobile branded, AFAIK. However, Hangouts and SIP calling works quite well.
Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it)
Still keeping my fingers crossed that the C is available from TMO also!

Possible ... but, I have no idea. It seems plausible ... but there are differences between the Z3 and Z3C that may not make it possible. Keep your fingers crossed, as I would like that as well.

Yes, as soon as I make a phone call my GPS stopped tracking my progress. When I hang up, tracking resumes.
I have not noticed this with the OG X. I do use GPS and have calls at times.
I wont get my new 2014 X till the 29th
Voice calls and data connection currently don't work together. There's an update planned for "this fall" that will fix it.

Update - it seems like the GPS is still tracking, but my nav app begins searching for the data network to provide additional info (traffic, accidents, etc.).
So, not as big a deal as I thought, but still annoying and seems like a step back from my RAZR M.
not an issue on ATT.

I didn't have the same behavior on my RAZR M that I have with the Moto X. On the X, my navigation app, Waze, begins searching for a connection (though the GPS tracking continues). In addition, a box pops up to warn about the lack of data.
Verizon's CMDA/LTE can't do voice and data at the same time (with the exception of the Rezound and the Thunderbolt), it's a problem with CDMA. GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile have no problem with this.

Uh, what? Simultaneous voice and data has been a staple on nearly every VZW LTE phone SINCE the Thunderbolt, not just two phones.

I haven't had a Verizon phone since the galaxy nexus or Rezound came out so excuse me. I hoped over to t-mobile.
