There is a nice little tweak to get T-Mobile LTE Connection on your Nexus 4. In order to get this, you have to root your LG Nexus 4. And of course you need T-Mobile LTE coverage for it to work. By default, Nexus 4 doesn’t support LTE connectivity, however its a relief for may US users that the upcoming Nexus 5 will be having it.

However users do report that it drains away the battery more faster.
