A video’s doing the rounds this morning that seems to show one of our Canadian cousins getting his Nexus 4 up and running on a Telus LTE network. However, this flies in the face of a recent explanation by LG themselves that the 4G chip is just there as a leftover from the Optimus 4G, and it can’t physically be activated. The plot thickens…
According to the YouTube videos, all it takes is dialling “*#*#4636#*#*” into your phone dialler, and changing “preferred network type” to “LTE/GSM/CDMA”. Though this menu (and this option!) definitely exists (I just tried it myself), we haven’t been able to replicate it ourselves in the UK so far. For the time being then, there’s no way to know if this is legitimate, or some elaborate post-Thanksgiving prank. Either way, if you want 4G on your Nexus right now, you might need to move to Canada. Is it worth it? Probably not. [Youtube via Engadget]

Not sure this will do any immediate good for us in the UK since our LTE is on different wavelengths to Canada’s, however it does contradict previous statements (which even I repeated) that the lack of certain components made LTE impossible and will give the massive Android hacking community something to aim at.
Hope you are enjoying the N4 Chris
And don’t take it out in public after last time…
No, I’ve learnt from my mistakes, I’m never going outside in London ever again
Don’t let it affect your life though, these things happen. Also becareful with the Nexus if you are around JulianT
At least for the next 3 weeks.:-)
Oi you as well
Sorry mate, but you have rather made yourself a target for these leg pulls, absolutely no offence is meant.
I’m just sitting here waiting for first reports of Nexus 4′s exploding in peoples trousers or doing something else rather annoying
Sadly all I’m seeing are positive reviews gad damn it 
Just you remember that you are still among one of the chosen…
I’m waiting to even order one.
But I can understand the frustration of having order, money being gone and no ‘shiny precious’in your hand.
Oi
That’s a shame as you have an invite to the Google+ Giz Groups Meetup next Friday.

If you want to play with the big boys you do.
So you’re saying Google users like to play with boys?

Talking to yourself? you’ll fit right in.
Yep, the Reply button doesn’t seem to be appearing on some of the posts.
Does it say Kat Hannaford on the back of your Nexus?
“The daughterboard is home to the micro-USB port, several spring contacts for the speakers, a hidden unidentified antenna socket, and a microphone (located on the underside.)”
i hope it works on Uk 3 and O2 4g network. That will be awesome since i have contract for both and I can update anytime i want
I think that there was an article about this the other day, buuuuut. . . I just got the option of ordering a white nexus 4 from carphone warehouse, they said I would have it by the 13th December. Just for the record
