I bought my GNex and it was preloaded with 4.0.2 and XXKK6 modem. suddenly after some woes in my GSM network provider i got the baseband as unkown and no signal. whenever i flash to any other modem it works and the device reports the correct baseband and imei.
Why only modem XXKK6 gives me uknown baseband and no signal while others works.
right now i am having another modem but i set it always to 2G as 3G drops every second even in best coverd 3G area.
yep, exactly my problem... and i don't have a clue! =o\\\
oh, and if you leave it a while signal come back after some minutes...

I just received my GN today and my cellular reception is real weak avg 110 dBm. I have been trying to find anything about increasing signal strength but without any luck. Is there any fix out there?
What carrier? Does it just have consistently weaker connection when compared to another phone on the same network next to it?
You can try flashing a different radio. Mixed results for most.
I am on Verizon with the i515 GN in Michigan. Are there ones I should try first Radio wise? I also have the MiFi 4510L and it gets near perfect reception.
Also available on some networks are signal boosters, check with your provider
Yeah Verizon has a femtocell, they call it the Network Extender, but its $250. It uses your home broadband to fabricate a network in your house.
I was thinking more along the lines of an update to the radio or what not.

Oh, okay. You could try an update to your radio.

Like some people have said: flash a new radio. What specific radio however, that depends on your phone. One radio might play nice with someone's Nexus, but might be cheap with yours. Flash and try to see which ones are good. You can find them in the Development section. XX are for Europe and UG is for North America. Both played nice with me, but UG was slightly better.
So the Radio is the only flash/adb software that effects reception?
My GNex is not getting 3G signals...
When I deselect "use 2g network only".....
The "E" on nav bar turns to "H" for a few seconds and then again it turns to "E" ....
(I m using my iPhone 4s with 3G on at the same place with full signals..)

Anybody have the same problem?
Even i am getting poor 3g signals. It really wierd that at the same place the signal keeps fluctuating. It never used to happen on my old phone. But i dont face any call drops.
What is your baseband. Mine is XXLF1. Probably trying some other basebands might help.

im not even getting a 3g signal. same baseband as yours
How about wifi. My wifi reception is also quite bad. Looks like I have got a Lemon. Does wifi also depend on baseband or is it just the radio (gsm, 3g)

can we flash older baseband?
you can flash any baseband. Just make sure it is compatible.

It is better to check form the India thread what others are using before flashing the baseband

i will try this. thank u
Same baseband.......
yes I too have the problem with wifi.....
Hi I have noticed that since being on jellybean roms I have poor 3g speeds, I don't use 3g much because I am usually in wifi range and I have low data allowance, but I often use it to quickly log into my bank account etc. It takes one minute or more just to log in. It used to take a couple of seconds.
My carrier is TPG, an Optus (Australia) reseller which uses UMTS2100MHz/900MHz.
The phone says Mobile Network Type: HSDPA:8
Baseband is I9250XXKK6. I have not flashed a baseband on its own before on this phone, just used whatever came with the rom I guess. Have tried AOKP jb and euroskank CM10. Both the 3g is super slow. Never had this problem on ICS.
My boyfriend has a nexus S still on ICS on the same carrier and his speeds are fine.
Anyone in Australia on Optus/optus reseller can tell me the baseband they found to be the best? I see a couple of AU baseband but they say best for 850mhz (telstra) network
Thanks guys
Just tried the XXLF1 radio. I used the app GetRIL and it said that would be the best match for my rom but the 3g is still terrible.
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...

Have you tried flashing the latest radio for the nexus? New ones were released recently for the .9 and .10 radios for verizon nexuses. I do not have knowledge of the gsm radios though.

I am not on verizon.
I am using i9250UGLH1 radio.
Where can I get this .10 radio?
Thanks.
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?
Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. The phone drops the signal on a random basis, very often, even when I'm calling.
I have the latest version of Jelly Bean installed, via official OTA (4.1.2). I am not rooted.
I have installed the ClockworkMod Recovery to try new basebands. My phone has the XXLF1 baseband, but I tried also the UGLH1 and the UILE1. Same problem. I've also checked the RIL: it matches with these radios I tried.
Is there anything I can do?
I brought it back to Samsung Service and when it came back to me last week, it had the same problem.
Any idea?
Thanks!
PS: I live in Italy and the reception in my area is generally good.

4G Signal drop on CynogenMod 11-20131213-NIGHTLY-maguro
I am also facing the sharp Signal drop on 4G connection during VOIP calls within 1/8 of minute on all carriers. I have checked using three Carriers SIMM.
Please help me either to stay on same Baseband 4.2.2 or downgrade?
Thanks
