I'm rooted using Axiom 2.2 and every once in awhile my phone will go from 4g to no signal at all and i didnt move or anything or change networks. It just completely drops and then will come back after 20 seconds if i switch in and out of airplane mode or restart my phone. should i flash the leaked 4.0.3 radios. will that help at all? or any other suggestions?
If you're in the US and on Verizon it's a known issue, something to do with how they've set up LTE which I didn't bother bookmarking. There's several threads on it scattered about.
If not please supply more details of your setup.
yea im in the US on verizon but my friend has the nexus too and his doesnt do that were both hacked with the same exact set up. i know 4g is an issue but im in NYC and i should never be out of 4g and if i am i shouldn't lose 3g and data completely and no txts or calls while its out

My first Nexus did this. Tech support had me go to a store and have them swap out the SIM card...but within the first 5-10 minutes after I left the store, it did it again twice. I went back to the store, they swapped out the phone, and the new Nexus hasn't done it one time since (this was about a week ago).
If, on the other hand, your phone maintains at least a couple of bars of signal but just loses the 3G/4G icon for a while every so often, it could just be Verizon's 4G network acting up. This can cause intermittent data drops, even if you're in a 3G-only area. Give it a day or so, and it should clear up.
thanks kinda what it does where it just goes out and comes back but my speed has never been that slow i always have good download and upload speeds just lose connection every once in awhile. would flashing the 4.0.3 radios help at all?
It's not a faulty phone.. it is just LTE growing pains. Yes you can probably get them to give you a new device, but it isn't necessary.
Also, the newest radios might help.. and if they don't you can always switch back
yea i have 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 on my phone so if 4.0.3 doesnt work i can just flash 4.0.2 and then ill be fine?

In terms of radios and roms, yes you can flash a 4.0.3 rom/radio or a 4.0.2 rom/radio. The trick is just to find which radio works best for you as not every device is the same
Seems like its more of on the Verizon side not really a phone radio issue.
Only problem im having is dropped calls but not short calls seems to only happen at about the 15 min mark on all long phone calls.
I keep a steady data connection at all times

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone else is having the problem where if you toggled your 4g to turn it off, you would lose all data entirely? I currently running winner's kang-cm9 and when I try to turn off 4g through the toggle or through the settings, I only get gray signal bars. I'm assuming I should still have 3g after turning off 4g. Is this someone that everyone is experience or is it my phone?
I'm having a similar issue (stock ROM). I notice it every morning when I leave for work. I leave my place and wifi disconnects (lack of signal). Since I don't have LTE outside, it seems like it try's over and over to obtain LTE signal. LTE is spotty in my area, so it will go in and out. However, 3G sometimes fails to connect and I sit there without any signal. It's incredibly frustrating...
Last night I just flashed to Apex ROM/Kernel. This morning I waited for my car to warm up a little bit and by the time i plugged in my phone, it had a 3g connection. I will be continuing to look out for this, but I have been able to replicate the issue in my first paragraph over and over again... something is definitely wrong with the radio on our phone (CDMA).
Oh that happens to me a lot too because I get bad 4g in my area so a lot of times when its switching back and forth I lose data for a while.
The problem I'm having is that I would try to disable LTE/4g to save battery but would end up losing all data (Only calls and text work). On my friends thunderbolt he was able to disable 4g and retain his 3g data. As for me, I lose all data and I have to restart to regain data again when I try to disable 4g data

That's an interesting point. I was wondering how the other LTE VZ phones handled this situation... I think VZ/Google needs to address this in a fix ASAP.
I work in a largish company in Seattle area. We have ~5000 engineers working in the area and I posted the same question since my Verizon GNexus would completely lose all mobile data for hours at a time every 3-4 days. From what the results I got, they said that in our area they are all seeing those problems and they had different devices. I got responses from OG Droid, Droid Charge, GNexus, DroidX2, Thunderbolt.
I've been seriously considering returning my phone since this is clearly a verizon data network issue which is not limited to LTE as their press releases would have you believe.

Well see, i can get data if i toggle airplane mode or cdma to cdma/LTE. it takes me forcing the phone to start looking for 3g instead of LTE.
Very serious issue. Slow reconnects on a toggle that should be unobtrusive between 4g-3g. I suffer from the same issue.
What's worse. The reception in general is terrible. And dropping from 4g to 3g ..the phone either never reestablishes 4g or take.....a. VERY long time. Like, 10-15 minutes. Unbelievable
I'm trying desperately to get google to be aware of this and I'm PRAYYYIINNGG this is a software issue.
P.s this is my third nexus... so I believe this is everyone

Yep... I have two other friends with this issue as well. I just got off the phone with Verizon, and they acknowledged the data connectivity issues... they said an update is in the works and is tentatively sometime Jan/February.... for the record, i'm on 4.0.3 (axi0m rom); not that it should matter ...
What I'm seeing is similar but sounds like it might be slightly different. I have a thread on it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21352288
I'm not sure if what I'm describing there is "normal" and the thing they are working on an update to address or if I have a bad radio/phone. Any thoughts?
In my case, it will go: 4G->no_data->4G in the span of about 30 seconds or so. The 4G indicator will still show for a few seconds but I'll get "no connection" kind of messages. Then I get just a solid gray triangle. About 30 seconds later, I see the bars, then the 4G indicator, then the bars turn blue.
Anyone else seeing this? This happened to the phone before this which I swapped due to this problem. What are the chances I got 2 bad ones in a row? Or is it just a similar issue to what you all are describing?
I've been using the Galaxy Nexus for about a month or so and have recently started to notice that the 4G signal will drop whenever I turn on the screen after some time in deep sleep. The signal meter will be fine, until I actually try to use some data. It typically takes about a minute to reacquire a signal, but the phone is essentially useless during that time.
As you can see in the screenshot, there are several red spots where the signal dropped out. I am not in a poor coverage area, and others with the same device do not have these issues. I saw this with a rooted 4.0.2 OTA and am still seeing it with a rooted, deodexed 4.0.4 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481613).
What do people think? Will exchanging the phone possible fix the issue? Is there anything Verizon can do to try and help me out? I'm basically just spitballing here, but this problem is making my phone very frustrating to use.
Are you rooted or stock? I don't have any issues with my 4G on stock or rooted with Gummy 0.7.6. I had an issue with an earlier root where my 4G would drop. I would disable / re-enable and it would start to work again. Maybe try rooting if you are not rooted????

Yes, I see this on rooted stock, as well as the ROM I referenced in the original post (supposedly deodexed 4.0.4 stock ROM)
EDIT: From several posts in the other thread, this issue is not isolated to me or my hardware so I probably won't bother exchanging the phone.

Can you please tell me where you get that HISTORY screen from. Ive checked all menus in settings and I can not find it anywhere.
EDIT... Please ignore my post... I found it...
So, I'm having the same exact problems but i did a log cat to see what might be culprit.
I have narrowed it down to this:
02-08 11:21:51.912 E/IMSFW (415): IIL: Disconnected from '7467' socket
still have no idea what can cause it yet.
also if you switch to 3g it seems it doesn't happen so maybe its a sim problem on verizons lte network end?
11:22:40.029 E/IMSFW (415): ImsSMSInterface: Registration failed, go for retrying if isim nounce present
that's what i found so if anyone can clarify and maybe see if it is really on Verizons end as this is the 4th phone that has had this problem.

Hey fellas, I'm posting in this thread because it relates to the issue I'm facing. Coming from the Thunderbolt, I had no problems holding onto a LTE signal in Atlanta, but with my GNex, the signal just drops a lot (every half hour or so maybe), at work, at the store, wherever. It shows an empty signal bar with a small x, and says 'Searching for Service'.
This seems to happen only when I have it in LTE mode. I switched to CDMA under the 'Mobile Networks' settings window, and it was able to hold on to the 3G signal all day. I am starting to think if it is a LTE sim card authentication issue.
I'm going to VZW to see what I can do (I'm still within the 14-day window).
I'm having the Same issue holding onto a 4g signal in Savannah and Atlanta, cdma only is fine. Let me know what Verizon tells u cause they basically told me to wait for an update

Just came back, basically they said they can't do anything unless they replicate the problem, which they couldn't. (it was a random problem.). They told me to call customer service when I got that issue, so I have to see that at work tomorrow.
I tried a suggestion online where I updated my prl from the 15xxx version to the 52642 version. I did this by creating a contact with the following number
*22899
and dialing that contact. It went through a 'activation' process, with some elevator music, and the signal seems to hold.

To this and post 10, I still have those data issues, but they are much less frequent on the 4.0.2 radio than the 4.0.4.
I got in touch with Verizon wireless online support, and they basically told me to wait till they release a software update. I asked for a new sim card (since I thought it might be LTE authentication issues), and they said it was a software problem, not a SIM problem.
I guess its a wait and see.
Today my phone started having some issues.
In places I was supposed to get full coverage and all bars I am know getting only 2 bars...
And in places I was getting 2 bars I get no signal at all !!!
I think it is an Antenna thing. Maybe it is broken, IDK...
What could I do? I have no warranty as I bought this phone 2 months ago in EUA and I live in Brazil...
Thankss
Anyone?? Help??
I've opened my phone and Everything seemed to be clear and OK.
One thing. When I get signal and start using the 3G a lot. The Signal DOES NOT go off.
This is very strange...

I'm also having the same issue. I have a maguro yakju variant galaxy nexus. I'm getting only 1-2 bars and have no warranty as I got it from ebay, gps is also showing problems, but the phone came in new sealed condition. Please let me know if there's a fix to this
It seems to be an Power Amplifier issue. I am gonna put in a Repair Store and they are going to try to fix my phone.
I am going to keep updating this too with the progress.
Thaaankss
What were the dbm stats? Your signal bar never tells the truth unless there is no service at all.
the signal bars are responing to dbm status.
I am checking both on the same time and I didnt get any anomalies betweent them...
I just put the phone to work in a place near home and they said it was an Power Amplifier issue and they're going to try fixing it.
Thanks.
I have exactly the same problem but my phone has only dealer warranty. Is there any chance to fix this through software?
If you have this exact same issue you cant fix it through software, because its an hardware problem...
It should be an hardware thing, if it isn't I don't know what else I could do.
Just updating...
My phone is now working. They changed the PA ( power amplifier) and now I have normal signal!
BUT, I am having two issues.
When I select "only use 2g networks" the phone than changes to edge and connects. When I deselect the 2g option the phone reconnects but it keeps on 2g. It does not switch to 3g...
I have to reboot the phone/radio.
AND,I am not getting 4G HSPA+ anywhere! Only HSDPA...
ANYONE????
Today I also have noticed problems with connection. I've very fresh GNx, had it with me at the office since Monday but today whole day was on GPRS. I thought it is an issue from the GSM network but after coming home where 3G should fly (and it does on Motorola Defy) my GNx was still on GPRS.
But when I make a call the data connection returns to 3G and some time after switches back to 2G.
If I leave phone somewhere where is better coverage it keeps 3G.
Meanwhile my Defy has 3G everywhere.
Shall I sent the GNx back to Amazon?

Man,
If you are in warranty you should return your phone for them to fix/change...
Try changing radios before doing that. It can be software related!

I'm on the same radio since beginning. And the same ROM was while phone kept 3G and now, when it is loosing it.
However, I wonder how much the network could influence the situation.
I've left overnight Nexus and Defy on the strongest coverage point and in the morning GNx was still at GPRS while Motorola switched from 3G down to GPRS.
I'm getting paranoid (and not talking about ROM). Restored phone clean via fastboot to factory state. Will be watching it over weekend and then decide what to do.
8 hrs later.
Phone kept weird for few hours at work and now flies with full range 3G. Also at home where yesterday it was switching to 2G.
I bet this was Vodafone way to thank me for cancelling my contract.
Gonna keep it at pure stock for an hour or two and then will change to some custom ROM... Maybe.
Updating again.
I've been testing my phone with the new "Power Amplifier" and now I can use my phone regularly.
The problem is... The phone does not support anymore the frequency of 850Mhz neither 3G or 2G.
I THINK they have put a PA that does not amplify this frequency.
My carrier uses: 2G:900/1800 3G:850/2100 3.5G(HSPA+):850Mhz mostly
So I understood why in some places I dont have any 3G coverage and in almost all places I can't get HSPA+ speeds.
Am I correct? Does the PA has to do w/ all this frequency thing?
Hey guys, I just a sprint gnex phone a few weeks back and ran the GNex toolkit v9.1 to unlock and root it this past saturday so I could use a hotspot app for my tablet.
I don't know if this is just a bad coincidence or if I did something wrong..I'm not new to roms and have modded my previous phone (evo 4g) about 50 times, but here's what's happening.
Prior to this weekend I had full signal/bars..Now I can barely get 2..It's mostly sitting at 1 bar and sometimes drops the connection entirely. At the same time, every txt msg I send comes back with an error stating it did not send, however...It does actually go through, twice even. This happens with every text to every person.
I didn't put a rom on it, and I didn't even install clockwork mod...I simply just unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I did setup google voice afterwards. I can't see how doing this would cause these kind of issues and I haven't called Sprint yet as I absolutely despise their customer service..I'd rather get feedback here first.
The coincidence that I'm referring to is that I'm in Austin, Tx and they're in the process of spinning up 4g LTE towers right now..If by chance they started upgrading my tower this weekend (yesterday & today) then I could definitely see these issues...I walked down about 2 blocks where I do get a full 4g signal, but my txting still had the same issue.
Any ideas or thoughts about my problems?
On one hand, I would tell you that rooting doesn't cause that.
On the other hand, you used a toolkit, so who knows what you ended up doing.
If you haven't changed anything as far as ROMs or mods, then I would suspect you're right about something with the network. The only other thing I can think of would be hardware problems of some kind. That seems a lot less likely though. Sprint does supposedly keep a list of networks that are being worked on. You could check in with them and see if the one in your area is being upgraded.

Reboot your phone and go to about and sprint system update.

Idk why but its sometimes happens for no reason.
Make sure you have good connection first.(go outside)
If that doesnt work update prl to make the network find the closet tower to you.

I was trying that repeatedly hoping it would fix it..but it doesn't.
On another note, today when I woke up and rebooted the phone I had full bars on 4G signal..Thought life was good and then about 5 mins later it was back to 1 bar 3G. That's the first time I've seen a 4G signal here in my apartment so I'm hoping it really is just the towers in my neighborhood being converted to 4G right now.
I've rebooted my phone 3 times now and the same occurrence happens..Full signal with 4G for a few mins, and then it drops to 1 bar 3G..Have updated my profile and PRL and tried airplane mode..Only way to get that 4G signal back is to reboot the phone..Won't stay on 4G though.
Hi I've been using this lg p930 first with AT&T and now I've unlocked it and use it with a straight talk SIM card for t-mobile (I was sent a t-mobile sim by straight talk even though I told them my phone is unlocked AT&T).
I'm aware of the issues people are having with rebooting and freezing and am glad to say I don't experience this at all when I'm at home. However I usually visit my sister on the weekends and this phone does nothing but reboot. At my own home, I have great reception, no wifi, and no rebooting. Here at my sisters apt there is virtually no reception except by the side of the apt facing the street where the window is.. There is wifi here. And my phone reboots. It's rebooting as I type this post.
I thought it might be that whenever the phone has disconnected from the carrier and is trying to pick up a signal to reconnect, the phone will reboot..? Since my phone works fine at home I was wondering if anyone had a simpler suggestion besides rooting and installing a custom rom to fix the rebooting which only occurs at my sister's apt? Like a temporary fix? Since the phone works fine any other time I want to avoid any heavy changes.
Thank you... And if anything I suppose ill just deal with the damn reboots when I visit the fam.. Or be the reason why I shouldn't come over to my sisters crappy apt every weekend. :victory::laugh::victory:

What baseband are you on? do you get 3G with t-mobile?
heres what my phone tells me..
android version: 2.3.5
baseband version: P930-MDM9200B-V10j-FEB-26-2012-XX 1
kernel version: 2.6.35.11
build number: GRJ90
software version: LG-P930-V10j-FEB-26-2012
i dont know about my 3g...my carrier is straight talk. i guess they piggy back on t-mobile networks. currently they reduced my data speed to slower than dirt because i play some games on my phone which use a launcher to connect to facebook to play the game and somehow this is too much for their network to handle. they say when i refill with a new service card, my speeds should return to normal unless they monitor excessive use again which they will then lower my data speeds again until the next time i refill. i really couldnt tell you if im 3g or 4g.. right now everything on my phone connects at the speed of dirt.
well, anyway i dont know how to check that. please teach me how and ill tell you..
Why not upgrade to ICS? This may help with reception and stability.
this rebooting only happens when im at my sisters where there is no reception. it doesnt happen whem im at my own apt where reception is good. im not againt upgrading or anything, im sure eventually i will, just wondered if there was a temp fix that wont require a lot of messing with the system.. im usually at my place so if its not broke here then i dont mind leaving it as it is.
I agree with the "don't upgrade unless you need to" sentiment but ICS offers so much more than GB. ICS is also faster and much less laggy based on my personal experience with a Bell P930.
try flashing the V20c baseband. I was getting 1 bar constant, and afterwards I get full now. Other then dead zones. Montana woo hoo

well, i switched carriers from straight talk to t-mobile. i get reception at my sisters now and the phone hasnt rebooted yet. now i wonder if i do upgrade to ics if it will be worse or not... because i do agree gb is a bit laggy and the browser is pretty slow imo.. but now with t-mobile i get the 4g lte symbol ... and im orderin tg an extended battery for this phone bc the battery drains so quickly..
thank you for your helpful suggestions!
