Hi guys,
I usually don't create topics because there is already a lot of solutions to my problems if I search well, but this time I'm really stuck since 10 days, I don't know if it's a hardware problem.
I bought my galaxy nexus GSM version in January, I leave in Frane, I had some randoms data drops (1 per day) but I just needed to toggle airplane mode to get it back.
I never unlocked or rooted my phone (since the problem)
Here is what's happening. My phone only get network when I'm home. I turned off the wifi on my nexus, still have network, unplug my internet box, still have network.
So I go for a walk to see if it's still work, I just need to go downstairs and my phone loose the network. Impossible to call or be called. Toggling airplane mode do nothing. I tried to put another sim card (in fact 3 differents sim card from different mobile provider), not working. When I go back home, reboot nexus, everything works fini. I'm trying everyday to understand why my phone only works at my home.
Baseband : I9250XXLA2
Android : 4.0.4 IMM76I
Kernel : 3.0.8 franco kernel Milestone 4
What i did :
Reboot phone and take off battery/sim when the network is lost.
Bought another sim card
Rooted my phone and instal rom (AOKP Build 39, APEX)
Flash kernel (Franco kernel milestone 4, Fugu mod)
Flash baseband (XXKL1)
Changed ril with getRIL
Factory reset, wipe cache/data, wipe dalvik cache
I swear my phone is not fallen on the floor and did nothing wrong to get this problem
My nexus is going for warranty on Wednesday. If you guys have any ideas, or anything I did not already tried, do not hesitate!
Thanks!
Hello,
I have different problem. My Gnex is suffering random signal drops when my phone is on 3g network. On 2g network everything is fine.
Like you, I tried a lot of thing. Root, flash different roms, kernels, radios. Download getril, matched radio etc. Also tried to unroot and flash 4.0.2 stock rom. Nothing changed. Today, I went to Samsung service a they flashed new Samsung kernel... still the same.
So please, someone help us about problems that we suffer.
Thanks.

At this time last night (even less than 12 hours ago), my phone was all fine and dandy, and reception was where it supposed to be. Now I can't get any form of Data, and no SMS messages are going through. I bought this phone at the end of August and I am currently using the AOKP Jellybean Milestone 1 (problem persists on stock ROM). I've tried pretty much everything I can find, short of bringing in the phone to a Rogers outlet... I'm pretty much at the end of my wits here. Help?
EDIT: As of right now I'm running some Emergency bull**** on Kies.
EDIT2: which failed.
EDIT3: I should probably note that I'm using Rogers.

Didn't work.
I'm also having issues with data drop! The network signal will be full and sometime when I wake the phone , there's no data connection.. Also happens when I answer the phone ...network mode is set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA running AOKP MILESTONE 1 JB... also I updated to the latest baseband and still having issues... It doesn't happen all the time but its happening enough to bug me! Any help is appreciated!
And forgot to mention when I reboot the phone I get the "restricted access change" and the clock resets to a different time... I have to go to settings and click on the automatic thingy for the time... And then it resets
Sprint Galaxy Nexus
4.2.1
Not rooted
I performed a factory reset on my phone yesterday due to it bogging down and being rather slow. I never did a reset after getting the 4.2.1 update so I figured it was a good time. I woke up this morning, putzed around the house, and setup Tasker again. I laid my phone down for ten minutes while I got ready for work. Whenever I tried to wake my phone and nothing happened. I tried a few more times and the screen would not wake up. I pulled the battery, hard reset, reinserted battery and the phone wouldn't turn on. Then, I wiped the contact terminals (on the battery and the phone) and reinserted the battery and the phone booted up. However, since then I have had some major problems.
1. Power button does not always work properly. I have to press it several times to sleep or wake the phone. (Okay, not major, just inconvenient and probably unrelated to the issues below)
2. No data connection whatsoever.
3. In the data usage menu, there is no longer a data toggle switch.
4. Under the Network Mode option, LTE/CDMA produces absolutely no cell signal whatsoever. I have to switch to CDMA only. (WiFi works fine)
5. Toggling airplane mode, as some have suggested, does not cause the phone to connect to mobile data. Another factory reset did not restore mobile data. Rebooting did not restore mobile data.
6. All of these problems are true before and after factory reset. No new problems were created and nothing was exacerbated as a result of performing a factory reset.
I've been from one end of the internet to another looking for solutions to this problem and I have found that many are having a similar issue but toggling airplane mode or rebooting fixes it. Not the case for me. Most also seem to be having this problem after rooting. Again, not the case for me.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to not return the phone. Purchased from Radioshack and the 30-day warranty has expired. This is my second gnex already, as the first one's charging port broke. It took over a week to get this one from another store which graciously shipped it in to my store. There's also the issue of being broke and not really being able to afford another $30 activation fee on top of the deductible for a new phone.
Why not try reflashing the stock image and updating again to 4.2.1?

Wouldn't I have to root first?

Not at all. You'd use Odin . Myself I have very spotty sprint signal in my home. Spoke to a corporate executive and they mailed me an AirRave free . Never have less then full bars 3g all around home. You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon . b - call up and try to get an airavana.

Excellent. I will give it a shot at some point today or tomorrow and then let you know how it worked out. Thanks!
So, I restored the phone to stock. Signal is still non-existent on LTE/CDMA mode. Cannot perform Profile or PRL updates. Still no mobile data. I'm guessing hardware failure?
Also, on setup it asks for a SIM card. And at the bottom of the drop-down menu, it says "No SIM card|Sprint" or "No SIM card|No Service" depending on if I am in CDMA or LTE/CDMA.
Also, in the Status menu:
My phone number
Unknown
MIN
Unknown
PRL Version
Unknown
ICCID
Unknown
Seems a little odd to me.
Attempted fully rooting and flashing radios. No luck there either. It's also not wanting to update. Tells me my phone is up-to-date (connected via WiFi). Downloading Cyanogen now to see if it will work in the morning.
And while attempting to flash a new ROM, got the famous "can't copy anything to the device ever, under any circumstances" error.
Update: Got CM10 installed. Still "No SIM" error, no 3G, no data, no LTE. Found some more information on this No SIM error. Apparently a few others have had this same problem and in the end had to get a new phone.
Anyone know anything?
You should a- flash to stock using Odin following posts in sprint sextjon
I've been back to stock twice now. The first thing I did was flash to stock. Then I played around a bit and now I'm back to stock again.
Is there a difference between using Odin and Nexus Root Toolkit to return to stock?
Bump
Wow, one day and my thread is buried!
After battling for about a day, I got updated to JB 4.2.1, I can do profile and PRL updates again, but there is still no 3G/mobile data, and I still have zero bars on LTE/CDMA and have to use just CDMA. I am currently stock but the bootloader is unlocked, no root.
If anyone has heard any solution, please help. Also, if there's a difference between flashing to stock with Odin vs NRT, please say so.

Try fastboot flashing your LTE and CDMA radios again. As far as I know, fastboot commands do NOT require root. I had a similar issue.

Indeed, fastboot does not require root. I've flashed my radios several times now in various different ways. I even flashed different versions. I attempted again but with no luck. I have normal service when using CDMA but nothing on LTE/CDMA. Still no data, still "No SIM card" error.
Pretty sure I'll have to get it replaced. I've gone from stock JB back to stock ICS, rooted, CM10, back to stock ICS, rooted, back to stock JB unrooted, and flashed three different radios. I'm surprised I haven't managed to brick it yet.
UPDATE: Sprint is sending me a new phone, for free.
I can't seem to fix my signal after flashing a ROM anymore. only get 1x which is only better than no signal at all. At one time in the earlier releases of M.O.A.R I was getting LTE and 3G with no problems then later releases I've lost both. I unrooted and went back to stock and my 3G was back and rooted again, went back to MOAR and still no 3G. So now I'm on beenstalk and still cant get a signal. I love both of these ROMS hands down and would like to fix this issue without experimenting with every ROM in the forum. Has anyone else had this issue? I've resetted radios flashed different modems (except MK3) and I still end up with bad network. I need help
Open the dialpad, and then ##72786# . The Device will reboot a few times. Just let it do it's thing. It will go through the Handsfree Activation Process. This will reset your Data.
So about 6 months ago, I decided to finally try out some custom roms on my t999 after running stock for over a year. I tried a couple of roms and stuck with cm11. Every thing was great until about 3 weeks ago. Out of nowhere, my phone randomly decides to drop connection to tmo towers. Sometimes i have bars and 4g symbol and sometimes i don't have anything. When I pull the battery and restart, I am able to connect to data, make calls, and send messages for a few minutes, but then i lose everything. Randomly throughout the day, I will get signal back for a few minutes but thats it. I flashed a touchwiz rom for now so I can use wifi calling, So that still works.
So I tried to flash a different baseband modem from DocHoliday77 and none of them worked. I also tried going back to stock following DocHoliday77s guide once again, but for some reason that does not work. I launch odin3.07, put my stock firmware in the pda section, make sure only auto reboot and F reset time are checked. I connect my phone in download mode, it is detected and i start the process. The phone restarts but gets stuck at the samsung logo screen. I have tried flashing different roms and none work.
I dont think its an imei problem because I got the phone direct form tmo with a contract.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you factory reset after you flashed the firmware in Odin? That's the only way it will boot coming from cm.. You may just need a new sim if flashing to stock won't fix it.. And BTW T-Mobile doesn't do contracts
