Keep 3G active during calls?

Does anyone know of a mod or rom that has the ability to keep 3G on during a phone call, when outside of lte range? I could do this on my thunderbolt so I'm sure its possible on the nexus. I couldn't bring much up on the search. Thanks

It works on the Thunderbolt because it has SVDO for simultaneous voice/data over CDMA 3G. The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have this to my knowledge. Its a limitation of CDMA and the chip used.

An SVDO chip set is needed. The galaxy nexus does not have that chip for the CDMA radio

Damn! Thanks though. I guess I have to wait for lte. Hopefully not much longer

I am in the same boat. Verizon's next major 4G roll out is going to be in March. Hopefully my city is included. I know its been over a year since they've been upgrading towers around town. Shouldn't be too much longer

I believe it's only been on the Thunderbolt and Rezound so far.

Question GSM

if i buy a gsm nexus will i have 4g on t-mo?

Yes

Yes it will.....HSPA+ to be exact....

The phone is capable. Whether T-Mobile is capable of delivering 4G speeds in your area is the real question. Phoenix 4G speeds stink for me.

Lte coverage question

Ok so the question is.....
Will LTE coverage only be in areas where you have gotten or get 4g coverage or will LTE expand coverage a lil further?
I've got the sprint galaxy nexus

Are you asking if Sprint is going to expand their 4G LTE coverage? If so, yes.

Sprint is strategically releasing LTE in limited markets soon. They will of course keep rolling it out over time to the best places they can. There's nothing that indicates they're going to just overlay their current WiMax network with LTE in that order. Eventually they want to cover their entire 3G network with LTE but that's so far off you can't even consider it right now.
It's going to be a very small, slow roll out.
And btw LTE is 4G. You need to refer to Sprint's legacy 4G network as "WiMax". That cuts down on the confusion...

4g on sprint

Okay so on my wife's epic 4g running cm9 under the settings there is a 4g section and her toggle wimax works. On this phone on the same rom I don't have that option. And the wimax toggle doesn't work. Is this just temporary or does this phone really not get wimax. Cuz I don't get lte where I live and 3g is so slow.

Yes, the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have WiMax, its not just your ROM. It has EVDO (3G) and LTE (4G). Since LTE isn't even starting to launch for a couple more months, expect to keep waiting.

You seriously are saying you bought the phone and didn't know it would not do wimax ? Don't think there is very much wimax in phoenix either...as I live at 75th and mcdowell....can't say that there is much 4g just a couple places that I ever connected and so spotty not really usable

LTE Nexus Blows? Atlanta Area? Or Is It Sprint?

I bought the Nexus before Sprint came out with LTE but I made sure it was the LTE / GSM Version. Had LTE for a little while but it seams like it has completely gone away. Is it the phone , network, or is Sprint throttling my speed and kicking me off 4G LTE because I download to much?
Anyone else having this problem or experienced anything else like this?

I'm sure its sprint since their network is the worst ever.

there is no LTE/GSM version of the galaxy nexus. you have the CDMA variant.

Ya it isn't your phone, its definitely sprint. They're currently in the process of upgrading their network so coverage is a little spotty. Check out s4gru.com they have all the coverage of sprint and have a detailed list of cities currently undergoing network vision upgrades.

I checked sprint site and it says I am covered and I have had the coverage and now its gone so weird.
