Galaxy Nexus issue - 4G support detection

Question

4G device detection code what i use is working in all other devices except Samsung Galaxy Nexus(toro)

This is the code what i use

boolean is4G = this.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature("com.verizon.hardware.telephony.lte");

Answer 1

Is your app only for verizon?

I think they have changed the feature name in toro

Try this code.. It may work

hasSystemFeature("com.vzw.hardware.lte");

Answer 2

4G is actually a marketing term, not a technical term. It generally means that the phone has an LTE, WiMAX, or HSPA connection. Take a look at this question for details on determining the current connection type on Android.
