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?

This happened two times, once where I had full five bars with a HSPA connection and at home more often where I have two bars with an edge connection.
What happens is, when I get a text message, I will view it and then once I reply, the signal will drop and I won't have any signal, and have to wait for the phone to reconnect.
The same has happened outside with full service.
At home, I have wifi calling enabled and sometimes that will even drop and I will have to wait for wifi calling to reconnect or for the phone to gain back reception.
Is this a common issue? I have the ota radio on it, (not flashing any other radios, due to the fear of bricking), and running on Cyanogens 6.1.1.
Edit: This tends to happen a lot, when I get multiple messages and reply to each other quicky. I do about 6k messages a month and its getting annoying having the phone lose/drop signal when replying or receiving messages.
Thanks

Does this happen when you use the keyboard or the phone in landscape? I found out that if you cover the top party of the phone just above the camera with your hand the wifi completely drops. Turns out its the same antennagate as iphones but only affecting wif (so far). I actually can't use my keyboard on wifi because right away after putting my left hand on the top of the phone to hold it in landscape my wifi drops from full to either 1 bar or completely turns off and switches to H or 3G. If you're having the same issue then post back.
Yes, I actually do have the same problem. I don´t think there is a solution for it is there?
I'm seeing the same problem withnmy g2, running cm 6.1.1. I have a case on my phone as well.
i am having this problem when i turn the internet on. Happens instantly.
I was having a similar problem, running cm 6.1.1. I flashed pershoot's kernel and have had better reliability during my two days or so of testing.
I've had 'similar' issues. Its rare that my signal drops completely but when I have the phone open in landscape mode and am sending a text using the hardware keyboard, my signal does seem to drop by 10-15db.
I had the same issue with the stock ROM as well.
Although this is not a solution, I have noticed that the signal isn't affected as much if you keep your hands on the back of the phone 'low', as in my index fingers sit below the camera on the back of the phone when texting...
I've had connection problems ever since I updated the radio. My signal before that was great, and so it was at home. Ever since the update, I go from 2 bars of HSPA to Edge, which is pretty frustrating.
At work, my signal was great and never drops. But today I've been going from GSPA to Edge to 3G over and over, which has me really annoyed.
Edit: Also, I tend to lose connection when I receive an MMS, not a regular text. When I get a call and I don't answer, I lose signal completely, which has caused me to miss voice mails.
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

Hey guys ready for a weird one? So the other day I turned on WiFi on my SIII to use the university's WiFi instead of my data like i usually do, and when it was time to turn off WiFi, I lost complete signal for data and cell reception. It was weird, so did the usual trouble shooting stuff (checking if data is on, roaming off, wifi off, correct APN)and everything there was fine. So i turned off data and turned it back on, still nothing, i turned on airplane mode, then turned it off, then it would fix the problem....for a little. After a little while the same problem would occure. So I decide to reboot the phone. That too temporarly fixes the problem. So when I got home, I did a factory reset. again, temporary fix. So then I decide to install a new rom, so I install the latest build of CM10. Fixes problem, then problem occurs again. Its extremely annoying, everything was working perfectly fine until the other day. I was on official ICS Stock Rom btw when the problem occured. My phone has been rooted this whole time, but that never was a problem the 3 months I've owned the phone. The problem is now occuring in CM10 as well. Anyone have any ideas as to what to do? Oh side note, when I installed CM10, I wiped everything chache data everything to make it as clean as possible. The issues are random disconnect from 4G data or rather any data reception, no SMS/MMS income or able to send,no calls. WiFi would work. Could this be a hardware problem? I've never dropped my phone or anything. This literally just randomly happened.
Yup
I am having this problem as well. Seems I loose reception. If I call my voicemail, reception returns for a bit and then turns off again and I repeat the process...my IMEI is fine, my APN seems fine, I don't understand what the problem is. I have tried multiple roms and continue to have this issue?

I have the same exact problem!
Similar things happened to me out of the blue about 3 weeks back. Dropping data, no connection to network, calls take 4 or 5 tries to go through sometimes, sms is flakey. I went back to stock 4.1.1 and still happened.
Went to phone store (Telus) and got a new sim. Didn't really help. Now phone is in the shop under warranty and I have a loaner HTC One S :-\
When I was around a strong cell signal it seemed better. My thoughts are that one of the power amplifiers is not working properly or at all. I will probably never really know.
Hi, i have a problem with my arc S. Over a year i've tried many roms, some i used for a long time, however lately i have a big issue with almost any rom so i am wondering what might be the problem. Mostly started happening with new roms, JBs.
What happens is that not long after instalation of any rom i lose signal completely. When i am in my home all day signal stays, however when i exit the house i lose signal and network ofc. Usually airplane mode on/off works for 2g, sometimes takes about 30 sec, but 3g doesn't, and automatic switch also doesn't work because at a moment i maybe don't have both 3g and 2g. I hate that this happens because i go walking or driving and unless i look at my phone every 5 minutes I'll be unavailable. This hasn't happened up untill 2 months ago. I tried basebands 77, 85. As i am currently SJB latest, bb 77. BB 85 makes things even worse. Can someone help i don't want to have to press airplane mode on/off 10 times a day...

whick kernel u use
Fusion 5.4
I dont known what happend with your device or your network.
But i never got this problem.
I use sjb 6 with fusion5.4 and then 5.5.
I let 3g ON alltime of my day and use 3g data very intensive.
Since i flashed this ROM, i never lost my signal. I have only sometimes problem by reconncect to my wifi network, that all.
I use O2 and T Mobile network in Germany.
My baseband is 77.

Yeah that's the problem cause i have rarely seen this problem on arc s. Googling it i found that many nexus and galaxies s2, s3 with JB sometimes have the issue, however for the arc s i can't find any1 who had this and then solved it somehow. That's the reason i am suspecting two things, maybe somebody know something about this. Could it be:
1. my SIM card problem, that is got somehow partialy damaged during many different ROM flashes and kernel flashes ( this really is just an idea, and i can't see how that would happen) - I can ask for a new SIM card from my operator at any moment though?
2. my phone got damaged during proceses, but i am not really an amateur user, i know all the basic stuff, phone is normally unlocked BL, ftf is the latest .587, SJB is latest, fusion 5.4, tried other kernels 5.4 is the best because with it I encounter the least network signal drops.
3. I dropped my arc s many times during these 2 years. Could it be because of that? Also i don't think any service in which i can take it would consider fixing it after they see unlocked BL, custom kernel, custom ROM :S
P.S. This issue started happening when i went to another country, after which i've been only flashing JBs on the phone. If all else fails, and no1 knows what could be the issue, in the next days i will be probably try going to ICS or some other and see what will happen. The reason i haven't done that is that i am highscoring benchmarks with SJB and the rest of the phone feels pretty good.
Hi!
So, i've got another issue that's been lingering for a while... Sometimes i can maintain an LTE/3G connection for an hour or two, usually right after a firmware install, and then it drops down to either EDGE, or even GPRS. Rebooting the phone will fix this, and as long as i keep a data stream busy, it stays in high speed data, but about 10 minutes after the stream stops, it drops down to the lowest it can find, and then get stuck there. Sometimes the LTE button will fix things, others require a reboot, and then sometimes it just won't work for a while.
I have no idea what's going on... I've tried a few different Radio firmwares, but haven't found anything that works well yet... Could this be a hardware issue, or is it likely software? (I didn't spend much time stock, due to hating how Samsung lays out their version of Android.)
Anyone?
help me
My data doesn't work on cm 10.1.3 help me please

Sounds like you need to double check those APN's, if that doesn't solve the issue you might want to try odin to stock 4.1.1+ and try again. also what ROM you are running and modem version?
