Early reports state LTE doesn't stick.

Those of you on AT&T might want to wait/flash the older radio.

Sounds like if you have root you can flash 4.2.1 radio to get it back though.

That is only if you selected the "LTE Only" option.

The other options that have access to LTE still work.

Can someone confirm?

Yes they will stick on the LTE/GSM, LTE/XXX settings, but you won't get a LTE connection from those settings.

I can confirm that it no longer works and that the above posted is true. Does anyone have the 4.2.1 radio?

Why not just get it from the stock ROM posted on Google's factory image page?

Has anyone tried using the 4.2.1 radio on 4.2.2? does it solve the problem?

Yes it does. I'm able to choose LTE Only. Can't test if it works for sure as I don't have an LTE plan.

I got this official answer from Google Regarding LTE incompatibility on new radio.

"Nexus 4 hardware and software were not designed to be compatible with LTE, and future LTE capability on today's Nexus 4 will not be possible because of hardware and software incompatibilities. We've heard reports that some users have reconfigured their Nexus 4 to enable LTE under rare circumstances, but it is uncertified and unsupported."

It suck big time. Especially since you buy something knowing LTE can be turned on and then the company that made a device that's so open to everyone, now makes an update specifically fuking up the LTE.
This is exactly what Apple would do, nice going Google
