Device makers such as Google Inc. (GOOG:US) may have to delay introductions of new smartphones and other products because the partial U.S. government shutdown halted certifications that the gadgets don’t cause interference.
I saw this pop up in my search: http://www.businessweek.com/news/20...ble-as-reviews-halted-by-u-dot-s-dot-shutdown
Which makes basically zero sense. Why would Google be pushing the Nexus through FCC certs now instead of months ago? There is probably a warehouse full of completed new Nexus devices somewhere in the world right now.
What he said.There will not be anything larger than 32GB on release. Its beyond speculation
I thought it was today too but google search is failing me at the moment.
Nexus 5 Price to Be $399 Because of Nexus 4 LTE Launch, Says Insider
Yeah, I suspect it was never true. Nobody ever got invites for it and it seems a tad odd they wouldn't actually hold an event for this.
That sounds like another one of those Android websites that spreads rumors to generate page hits like I described earlier.
no lte on the original model etc...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6474/nexus-4-includes-support-for-lte-on-band-4-aws
The original nexus 4 did have lte on band 4 it had both the hardware and the software to do lte on band 4. They later on removed lte from the software for they never got the licensing from the FCC, and not getting approval to use radial frequencies is a big legal no no in the US.
The original nexus also had the necessary hardware for lte on band 1 and 2 as well but lacked the software to use those bands. None of the big 4 phone providers use bands 1 and 2 currently, so there is really no need for those two bands. Band 4 on the other hand is the only band currently being used by T-Mobile and AT&T and Verizon are starting to use Band 4 in some markets (Verizon actually started using band 4 this week)
In theory if the hardware is the same and the nexus 4 gets FCC approval they can allow the old nexus 4 devices to get lte with a software update.
Then again the nexus 4 if it is reissued may have different hardware with different band support. T-Mobile currently only uses band 4, but AT&T uses bands 4, 17, 29, and 30.
Aye.to market it as a verizon or att phone theyd have to support the whole network which would require a revised phone right, which would probably pix a lot of earlier buyers off
Small sidetrack but how do these bands work? It doesn't seem to refer to frequency since the 2600Mhz frequency has a number of different "bands". How do you truly get a phone that works around the world? Sweden for example is on band 7 on 2600Mhz, 20 on 800Mhz (I didn't even know LTE was on 800Mhz), and a few other ones. The US is listed as none of those.
This is it? I see 12 so I assume with your time difference that is the one you're referring to. You could make the same kind of guess from some of the other posts though.
