I got my nexus and have a question - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi. I got my nexus yesterday. I really love it. I am on T-Mobile but the signal jump between 3g and h like crazy. I am aokp and radio xxkk6. Any suggestion

I thought 3g and H connection jumps are normal if you move a lot or stay at somewhere with instable 3g signal.
Mine does that all the time.
Oh and u can delete that "COMING SOON" in your signature

The phone is made to go from 3g to h if the data signal is being used then back to 3g when it is not.

This is not a feature of the Galaxy Nexus, but rather the proper way 3G/HSPA+ is supposed to be handled by GSM phones.
Sometimes skins will just leave the "3G" or "4G" symbols up in the status bar, even when the phone is actually switching much more often. The Nexus just shows the actual switching when it happens.

[LTE] Grey data connectivity

Is it me or do I seem to always have an issue with data and my phone. There are many times when I go to pick it up to use and the data, either 3G or 4G, is greyed out.
I've noticed it even if I switch my phone to CDMA only.
Any suggestions on how to fix it other than the obvious reboot or airplane mode?
Unfortunately, this might just be reception issues in your area. I have no LTE problems where I live.
That's what I'm thinking. The phone may just not know what mode to chose cause I'm in between the two.
I have to bump this thread. I'm sick of this. I can hardly ever send MMS messages when I'm on WiFi.
I'm not in a 4G area, that I know. I was successful in updating my PRL which I thought fixed my issue, but didn't.
It's not like I have no signal, 1 bar, -90dBm in my house. Even switching the phone to 3G only doesn't fix this. Rebooting is my only option, as turning on airplane mode doesn't help.
Does anyone else have issues connecting to data? I'm tempted to root, just to flash a new(er) radio, but I don't feel like restoring my phone.
Have you tried updating to the new radio?

Whoops! That's what I get for opening up threads in multiple tabs. I replied to the wrong thread.
Haven't tried a new radio, still would have to root it.
As for the wifi sleep policy, it's set to always. I dunno...

Yeah, that was my bad. I had multiple tabs open with different threads and posted in the wrong one.
I live in a spotty 4g area so its constantly switching from 3g to 4g and before it locks onto one signal it always does the stupid grey bar deal and sometimes it won't lock on at all even though I'm in a strong (3g) area. Restarting the phone works sometimes. All I know is that it better be fixed soon or this phone will be going back.

Yup, this is the issue I have. I can have strong 3G signal (all bars grey) but it just won't connect. Airplane mode sometimes fixes it, but I usually have to reboot the damn thing.

Except the issue is... the data won't connect after I disable wifi lol. Hence why it won't even send with wifi on...

We have 4G here in town, but I live on the outer city limits. When I get closer to town I get 4G.
I know where I live sometimes I need to reboot my phone for it to change successfully from 3g to 4g... Another thing people suggest is toggling airplane mode on and off to make it pick up signal

Yeah, I don't know why airplane doesn't work like rebooting usually does.
You might possibly have an actual defective phone

I thought about taking it in and replacing it.... I don't have any reception issues, just this issue with the phone not wanting to get on data about 50% of the time.

Att data speeds

I know there have been numerous threads about this but I wanted share how ATT has improved there HSPA+ network, at least in my area

Thats good to know, where ate you located?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA
Wow that is pretty impressive, I am getting 3mbps in the Bay Area, and I thought that was great.
Mind to share what apn setting you use?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I was just in Philadelphia over the weekend and loved the speeds on ATT. I got 7 Mbps with a ping around 80. So good compared to here in Cali.
I'm in Orlando FL. At home about 1-3 down and .5 up, but at work (a few miles away) I get 3-4 solid and 1 up.
At home on a Sunday am I get solid 6 down and 1 up.
So I'm happy, my "unlimited" data lasts longer than if I had an LTE.
Ran XXLA2 then changed to UGLC1 and see really no diff.
I did get Getril Premium and matched up my RIL but no diff then either.
My reception with this phone sucks in my house but at work it's stellar.
Of course at work I can see the tower from my office window .
APN: I use standard default from the first time I put in the ATT sim from my Atrix.
Here's what we are getting in Vilnius/Lithuania.
HSPA or HSDPA (I dont know the diff; at least I see "H" near the signal strenght).

You can't get around 30 Mbps with a HSPA+21 phone. You either have a Verizon or Sprint version

Rogers Stronger HSPA/3G Signal?

Kind of a stupid topic but thought I would ask. Has anyone else in the Thornhill/Vaughan area noticed much stronger HSPA/3G signal strength?
In my entertainment room in the basement I used to get NO HSPA/3G signal and always switched to Edge (2G) so I can make and receive phone calls. I would also get about 1-2 bars in 2G (Edge). Today however I noticed that I got full bars HSPA/3G and they stay full. I thought it was a bug and noticed my iPhone also had full bars.
So anyone else or am I just bugging out?

You can use something like Open Signal Maps to see the towers around. They probably just put up a new one near your house...

I have no idea but I'm getting nearly 7000mbps in my basement lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
7000Mb/s or 7000MB/s?
Anyway, regardless of units, you seem to have a super internet connection using HSPA+/HSPA
My guess is 7Mb/s.

Data keeps switching between 3g and H+

Ever since I flashed my phone with the wicked rom .. my data has been do constantly switching between 3g and h+... I have my network type set to wcdma only and I have a strong signal but it still drops down to 3g
Before when I was on the stock rom it never did that.. I even had my network type set to wcdma preferred ..
Anyone having the same issue ?

That's completely normal. It only shows h when your data is fully active. Its a good thing. The only difference is now your phone is telling you the truth.

Oh is it normal ? I didn't know since on the stock rom it never did that ,always displayed 4g.
But what would it drop to 3g if I have a strong signal always
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah dude. T-Mobile does that they call their hspa+ 4G. Technically anything that is not 3g is considered 4G. The reason you are seeing this on your new rom is because the stock tmobile rom will only display you in 2G or E for edge. Or 4G for 3G and HSPA+ otherwise known as 4G. The majority of customer roms will tell you what you are currently on.

[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.
