I have been runnig this for several weeks and now I am getting strange behavior. Phone going into airplane mode itself. And now all but my application icon is gone from my launch bar.
My kernel is 2.6.35.7
Build Gingerbread.EF02
Is there a way to add them back?
Missing Icons Phone Contacts & Message
Aside from this being in the wrong section, my phone goes into Airplane Mode too sometimes. Did you update your Modem to EF10?
I was having the same problem. I *think* its a bug in the ef modems that causes instability when going into/coming out of roaming. In my apartment, the signal is terrible and I would constantly bounce back and forth, then the modem would crash and I'd be trapped in airplane mode until reflashing the modem in odin. I solved this by downloading "roam control" and setting it to roam only while in my signal-less apartment. haven't had an issue since.
hope this helps (and no, this is not an ad for roam control, lol, just happens to have helped me out)

I have searched around, but found nothing that resembles my issue.
I keep having this weird tone occurring, usually in the middle of the night. It is the same sound that you hear when the phone is coming out of airplane mode, but it is doing it all by itself. 3G and alarm icon disappear and reappear. You think re-Odin'ing DK28 might help since it seems that it might be tied to the radio? Anyone else run into this?
I team across this as well but when I got my Epic from sprint. When dk18 came out it helped but since dk28 it stopped. Its your phone loosing a signal all together then getting it back. Most likely its the towers in your area and not something you can fix. Have you done a prl update Lately?

I have tried updating the PRL and it seems to help for a while, but it always comes back. My wife has an Evo and doesn't have this problem.
I would be willing to settle for muting the notification since it mostly happens while plugged in at night and it wakes us up, but I can't find that sound file. Any ideas where it is? I lieu of deleting it, I could just rename it and replace it with a silent file.
I have the problem where if I leave my phone in one place for about 5-10 minutes I can't make a call. The phone has gone up to 6 hours without a problem while I did my daily business. I've taken hour long drives from one town to another without a problem.
Most folks have a problem where they can't get a signal or signal drop. My problem is the signal bars tell me i have a signal 3 to 4 bars. No matter what though i can't receive or make a call. Doesn't matter where I move the signal bars stay "stuck". Something jams up or whatever manages the phone signal crashes. Airplane mode doesn't have an effect, if i restart the phone it comes on with airplane mode activated.
I've install WajkIUI 1.9.16 with similiar results. I'm running Jboogies3 mod. It solved my reboot issue oddly enough so I've stuck to it. I'm a 2G area only. I use baseband swticher. Even without the baseband the signal gets stuck.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
i have the same problem!
I've tried different combinations of roms and nothing has hit yet. I was told it was a software issue. What app controls the signal?
When i force quit the Dialer app it also shuts down the radio.
Bad sim?
Maybe try flashing an SBF, like the new nordic or 2.2.2 3.4.2-179 CEE Deblur
I've been around the world with defy roms. I feel at this point its a complete lost. Also If I have data on when the phone jams up and try a web program. The data icon seem to act like its trying to send something out.
I do have a question about the baseband switcher. When you change the baseband. Is the info in "About phone" under baseband suppose to change?
I was using an iPhone 3G on the Fido network and switched to Bell on Thursday to get the Galaxy Nexus. This is my first Android phone, already own a Xoom.
Since buying the phone I have noticed a reoccurring issue with my signal. I leave my phone next to me when I go to bed and when I wake up I notice that I have zero bars and when I try to make an outgoing call the phone says I am in airplane mode (but I am not). Also none of my apps say they have data and my e-mail hasn't been updating.
I haven't figured out the best way to get a signal working again, but so far it appears to regain signal when I start using it for a few min or if I restart the phone.
While I am awake the phone sits next to me with full bars only 5 feet from where it rests overnight.
Anyone else encounter this issue? Is Android trying to save battery by weakening my signal and therefore cutting it off entirely? Possible defective device? Issue with Bell's signal although I seem to have full bars otherwise?
thx guys
I have the same issue. Flashed different radios and roms but still the same thing.
I've read similar issues with other people on Bell Canada.
Wonder if it's a problem with Bell.
Same Here
just finally noticed this here too in NYC on T-Mobile phone bought unlocked from UK. I remember having similar problem with my nexus one thou it was eventually fixed but as it was then now I can fix it with a restart.

Well with this only being released on Bell/Virgin in Canada it is hard to tell if the issue is network or device related
This is usually a SIM issue. Try someone else's to test, or just ask your Carrier for a new one.
In the meantime you can toggle Airplane Mode to bring your signal back.
Here are some example screenshots. In these cases my signal drops & returns very quickly without me doing anything.

I gotta run some more tests on my phone after an extended period of inactivity, but trying airplane mode last time freaked it out. It already thought it was in airplane mode when I tried to make a call. I had no signal, it said please turn off airplane mode, went to the setting, it was off, so I turned it on. I then tried turning it off, but while the check box responded the airplane logo would not go away in the statusbar. I had to reboot the device.
Hey Guys,
same problem here in germany. Signal drops when i leave the phone alone. But not every time. Over night the signal stays all the time.
sometimes even a reboot does not solve the problem... it drives me insane!
I'm also on Bell and on my second GNex. The first one had that issue as well, along with horizontal streaking on the screen so I returned it. I'll keep you posted if this handset also drops signal.

As a heads up to this topic, there is a similar issue with Airplane mode turning itself on. The low signal/no signal issue and airplane mode might be related. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387943. There is also an "issue" opened with Google about it.
To throw in my two cents, I've also noticed this issue occuring infrequently in nyc with tmo. Usually during the day at work the signal will drop down even though the phone hasn't moved. Usually it comes back but I have had fairly longer delays going from no signal areas to signal areas, sometimes 60-120 secs before the device recognizes the signal. I'm wondering if this is a result of the device polling for signal less often to conserve battery power.
Keep the information coming! This is how we work out the real bugs!
this is driving me insane. I want to throw my GN right against the next wall. Signal drops and does not come back. I have to switch to 2G to regain my connectivity.
flight mode doesn't help, reboot doesn't help, switching all data off doesn't work.
What the f* is going on here? is it a provider based problem? or is it due to a conflict with ICS or anything? if it lasts i'll switch back to my good old desire ...
forgot to say: switched radio today, doesnt bring any improvement. Tried the xxkk6 and the newest UGKK7. Back to xxkk6 now.

UGKK7 isn't the newest. UGKL1 is.
Ive had the same exact issues as well. Have had a thread open for quite some time too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365389
I tried UGKL1 last night and finally thought I had it working but still doing it.
I flashed Modaco lr6 this morning and haven't seen the issue since.
Before the flash, it would lose signal everytime it went to sleep
Is anyone here still having issues with the Galaxy going into Airplane mode after the phone is left in idle mode for hours? If my phone is left idle for a long time it goes into airphone mode and I have to restart the device to be able to make and receive calls. It's strange because I transferred my T-Mo account onto a new SIM card when I purchased my GNex.
I seriously hope this isn't a hardware related issue because I would be without a phone again...
This thread is a better resource to go to for the airplane issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387943
My issue was also connection drops. I since replaced my SIM card & Nexus. No more frequent connection issues. I can confirm that I still get the airplane issue, but because I am not losing my connection frequently, the airplane issue only happened once since mid December.

I'm seeing weirdness as well - when I come out from under the subway, I can't get back a signal. Going to have to revert to stock (uuuuugggggggggh) and see if it persists.
I have the same issue and it happens nearly every night. I wake up in the morning with no signal and once I reboot I receive all of my messages etc. I am not sure if it started happening since I rooted and flashed Revolution HD but either way it is extremely irritating.
I have had this problem since I got my phone mid December. Over the past week it has become worse. I was anxiously awaiting the 4.0.2 upgrade.
I just upgraded to 4.0.2 yesterday, but unfortunately my signal dropped a few minutes ago. Grrrrrr, I had hoped that 4.0.2 would solve the issue, but apparently it doesn't. Maybe 4.0.3 will do the trick, but I don't expect this to be released very soon as they are rolling out 4.0.2 just now.
Android version 4.0.2
Baseband Version: I9250XXKK6
Kernel Version: 3.0.8-gaaa2611

Here is a problem I've been having off and on with both my Nexus and my Note. I need to switch to my focus for a while and see if I have the issue with that, but generally when I'm at work where there are many areas where there is little to no signal and sometimes if I'm in that area for a while I'll see my phone switch to No Service. Which is fine, but sometimes too long and it'll just go to Emergency Calls Only mode. There have been many times where it seems like if I'm not in that long enough it will come back out, but for the most part it seems like it will stay in Emergency Calls Only mode until I switch airplane mode on and off. I'm using Franco nightly 180, CM9 2012-06-09 nightly(time to update that soon), and the UGLC1 modem with matching RIL obtained through GetRIL. This is an issue that drives me nuts. As I said my Note was doing this a lot too. It seemed like once I switched to one of the newer ICS modems my Note would always come back from switching into this mode. Nexus it seems to be hit or miss. Any thoughts? I don't know if it's just a sim card issue or not. Also there have been times where I'll be in Emergency Calls Only mode, but the network settings will still show a GPRS connection and the about will show that sometimes I still have the data network connected which I've been able to use.
Anyone noticing the location GPS is funky? I typically turn my GPS off when not in use and I am finding that when using the PullDown toggle, the annoying Location Icon/Notification gets stuck on, and other times won't come on after its been off.
The only way to fix it is to turn it off and reboot, or turn it on and reboot. But after it gets toggles, it gets screwy again.
I haven't done much testing yet to see if it is just the icon or actually the GPS failing to toggle. Also I am wondering if going through settings to toggle is a work around.
I am out of town for work but wanted to quickly throw it out there to see if anyone others experience this weird behavior. I don't have time this week to really sit down and play with it, so a quick fix (if available) is known.
+1 on this. Just noticed the other day when I had to navigate to a party. I arrived and turned off location and it was still stuck in notification tray. Think it went away eventually, but I didn't have time to reboot so not sure what happened. Will keep an eye on it next time though.
Also, noticed the phone has trouble switching from 1x back to 4g. Has to use airplane mode to cycle the radio.
Yea I noticed that too. Again I am traveling and normally have GPS off and only turn it on when I actually launch Google Maps.
I was listening to Pandora mostly with no issues on my 8hr drive but twice, I think, I had to toggle airplane mode to get back data.
The Location notification is ridiculous. I mean its stupidly annoying already but now its getting stuck.

Just chiming in. I haven't noticed these problems. Then again I've only been on MM for 5 days now.
I get the location icon stuck in the tray as well. Reboot is the only cure.
New Wifi lag is the biggest problem for me on MM.

You really only notice it if you turn off Location, the little PIN notification gets stuck and doesn't go away on the status bar and notification that says Location on or something.
Pretty annoying.
Also my wifi just randomly stops working. I have to disconnect, reconnect and it starts again. Different topic though.

Ah ok, I hadn't had that problem. As of last night I downgraded and then rooted and removed bloatware. So doubt I'll see them problems. Though I am facing a few minor ones mainly with the all apps dual window mod. But like you said that's a different topic. Main reasons I downgraded was of course because I like full control over something I own. But wanted the 60fps video recording which I'm pretty sure we can all agree should have been included with the G4. I also finally found a nice work around for enabling silent mode with the actual volume button since the xposed module with true silent didn't work for the G4. Sorry I'm getting off topic here. But hope you find a fix.
Yea I was good with lollipop. Marshmallow hasn't included anything except bugs. I resisted the upgrade for a while but I was not rooted and the System Update popping up constantly was drivingme crazy.
A6 fixed a few annoying bugs for me but brought others.
The location notification getting stuck can happen even with location on, I never turn mine off.
Biggest problem for me WiFi disconnecting at 15%, and needing a reboot to reconnect.
Yea the location notification does get stuck regardless if turned off or not.
I ended up getting rid of the G4 because of the problems. (Qi Charging, wifi disconnects, etc).
