Programmatically Check LTE capability on Android Device

Question

I want to check if the device my apk is running on has LTE capability.

Now, I have tried http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html but this only gives me information about current network type(GPRS/LTE). But i want to know if the phone has LTE capability at all, even if it is connected to GPRS at the moment.

Is it possible to do?

Answer 1

It's not in the APIs so, officially the answer is no. I reverse engineered the first LTE phone during the summer and didn't find any thing I could use

Maybe someone else was luckier ?
