What city your Nexus LTE is dropping / switching often ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Alright, as you may know some of the users are having network drops or switching way to often. So let's get all together and figure what areas are bad where you are having issues. I would be glad to bring all the data collected here and bring it up to a tier 3 in Verizon. I'm a register tester and I can give them my point of view. As stated on other sites, maybe other devices are giving wrong bars feed. It's worth a try. I will also make another thread for who is fine. Thanks.

[Q] 4G LTE Speeds

What speeds are you getting on your 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus? I've seen some pretty amazing speeds posted from other users and I'm feeling a little shafted with the speeds I've been getting.
Is there a speed range Verizon has been advertising for 4G?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Funny I ran across your post. I had very limited experience with a Verizon GN at at their store and the speeds were very similar to what you show. I am on Miami and was hoping this was because of network congestion or something.. Compared to the amazing results everyone else's posts around the country.
Here is my results from fort worth tx

You're lucky. I called Verizon regarding this and they said that they don't guarantee any speeds. They did put in a ticket with the network team who got back to me tonight and said that I'm too far away from the tower and I need to wait for them to expand their network.
Here's my results from various locations around the SF Bay Area.

[Verizon] How is the reception?

hello,
How is the reception on the Verizon Nexus? I heard there was a radio issue but not sure if it was true or if it got fixed. Anyway... any feed back will be appreciated.
Better.. was like utter crap before the last release.. battery was doing well and 4g signal worked as well as can be expected..
it's been great in Phoenix
It depends on your location. Some areas have great VZW coverage, others not so much. You should ask your local friends if they like their coverage.
However, I have found VZW has better penetration into large buildings. When I had AT&T + iPhone, I always lost signal at work unless I stood by a window. With VZW, my GNex rarely drops calls no matter where I am (of course, the two different phones may have been a factor).
You hear complains about the GNex radio and dropped calls/data, but you shouldn't let that sway your decision. Every model that comes out will have its share of units with constant signal problems, and the GNex is no different. Owners of such phones fill the forums with complaints & requests for help (legitimately so), which tends to give the phone a bad reputation. But the vast majority of GNex owners never have major signal problems. And those that were having signal loss with the original radios will most likely agree that signal quality has improved significantly with the latest firmware.
Thank you for those quick replies... I was asking because in some places I read is a bug with ICS and others that is the radio. I got a GS3 but i'm going to return it and get a Nexus till the new Nexus comes out.
I have good signal just about everywhere.

I just went to my local Verizon store and they phone they have have 0 bars... =/ that sucks.
I've only had mine for a week and Verizon signal is great. 4g is great too. Only thing that's weak is Wi-Fi for some odd reason. Honestly... the Galaxy S3 is a sweet phone , played with one yesterday. But for some reason I like my Nexus better. The screen on the GS3 is better but that's about it. And not worth it yet cause of its locked bootloader. You will be happy with a Nexus.

The signal is spotty. It was like that with my coworker's Fascinate. I foolishly thought they'd get it together a year later when our nexus launched. Nope, it still sucks in the DC area. My other coworker picked up the SIII it *still* sucks! I don't know or care if it is Samsung or Verizon that sucks when it comes to data on VZW's LTE but it's pathetic.

There are definitely areas where Verizon is not king. I spend a week or so in Torrance every year, and Verizon sucks there bigtime. In fact, I think ATT had LTE right on Redondo Beach. Or so I was told. I barely had 3G, although to my defense I was on JB at the time.
My experience has always been very good with this phone. This link says it all!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25921-this-is-why-your-verizon-nexus-signal-sucks/
I've learned to ignore the signal bars all together, as long as my texts and calls go through; which they do even when there's no bars showing.
4G is spotty on here, but I'm on wifi 95% of the time anyway, and on 3G the remainder...4G isn't worth anything to me really.
Cheers
I have no problems in Pittsburgh

[Q]Signal Strength with T-Mobile?

So I'm switching over from the T-Mobile G2x and I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus from the play store next week, and I wanna know how good is T-Mobile on this phone like the signal strength? Which HSPA+ do we get 21 or 42? Just wanna make sure it works with T-Mobile.

Oh it works and its only 21 but not like bit matters no one comes close and signal strength is crap in my house it struggles to get one bar where the s2 got two or three. But service is good nonetheless

I had a g2x. The nexus gets better service than it did across the board, but my SGS4G got a little better data speeds (its also a 21hspa+ device) whereas the nexus does better on cell service.

H is "4g". It should show 3g until its actually actively transferring data then switch to H.

No LTE in An LTE Area

I'm on Sprint and I am using Toroplus. Well I have to drive a few streets down the block to get LTE. Well in my house I'm not getting any LTE. When I reboot my phone it shows that I have 4G 2 bars for about 10 seconds until being thrown off ****ty 3G Connection. In the sprint Coverage map it shows that my area has 4G LTE (Zip Code is 78223 in case you want to check)
I am running A jellybean ROM. Using FG01.
-.- As Usual No Damn Help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
And with that attitude I don't think you'll get any.
Its normal for it to do that. It detects 3G being stronger and switches. You have to put it in LTE only mode. Its a dialer code. Or you can you a JB ROM that has that option like cm10 or CNA.
Sent From My Toro+ via RED Tapatalk
man I wish I could help I live just outside a lte area (san antonio), the day they rolled out lte there I was driving through visiting family. I went from full on lte to 3g to low lte to 3g to just 3g btw I was all over san antonio. I wasn't impressed. That being said I would love to even have lte anytime to fully use my gnex.
I hope someone can help you out with your problem. At the time I was running a ics rom so I haven't even tried one with jb.

Nothing. Probably just the Coverage map lying. I phoned Sprint Customer support and they told me that by September I should have internet in my house after I gave him my Address. October at the most. Thanks guys for trying to help. Now off to bed for me since I am dying out of this horrible cold x(

I guess all I can say is just because a coverage map says you have service doesn't mean you will. There are a lot of places that I've seen have coverage according to the map (back when I had Sprint and now T-Mobile) that just don't fulfill that promise. There are so many factors that come into play in the real world when getting a signal that just can't be represented by a coverage map.
Not to mention that Sprint's LTE network is extremely new and hardly rolled out to full strength.

Got 4G LTE again, let's hope it stays this time.. my thought would be that Sprint currently has workers working in the towers. Because now I have an average of 2-3 Bars of 4G. 30 minutes ago when I had 4G I had 1-2 bars of 4G.

He should root and test different radios. Is his provider tmobile and do your folks live in the sticks? If so that is your problem. Think of att and tmobile as am and FM radio. AM is generally poor quality with a large area of coverage vs. FM with a short radius but excellent quality.
