some people say drop data problem on Galaxy Nexus, it is related to radio/baseband issue, a lot of people recommend the following components
Radio/Baseband：
cwm-radio-i9250-xxla2 (latest radio from Google)
Kernel：
franco.Kernel-r158 (best kernel on market)
ROM：
aokp_maguro_build-35 (latest aokp rom)
Just go back to 4.0.2

I have the above combination and it's worse. The radios in my device are going nuts.
How can it be so bad?
I'm like going crazy!!!
Its the worst phone ever !!!!!!!!!!

Was at the Verizon store today and there floor model had no drop issues. Tried mine right next to it and it started to randomly drop. They are sending me a new one and are saying it will be here tomorrow hopefully I don't have the issue after the new one. The tech has a nexus and said he has no issues with his.

i had the same problem, it would drop data even though it showed i had strong signal until i set the min cpu to 700mhz. after i did that i never had any data drop problems
hope that helps
Came here to ask about this. Was wondering why it keeps happening. Was working fine when I was on stock 4.0.4 but since flashing aokp it happens all the time.

I had these issues with aokp and Franco kernel m3. Switched to revolution hd and James Bond kernel. Haven't had a single drop since.

I'm completely stock IMM76I, rooted and I sometimes get data drops.. this happens more frequently when I haven't rebooted my phone for several days. Sometimes the signal letter (H) disappears completely until I turn airplane mode on/off. Other times I see H but there is no data, only a reboot fixes it.
I'm using Tasker to auto-reboot the phone every day at 5AM, but this is gettig really annoying. I wasn't having any issues prior to that IMM76I OTA.

Noticed this was happening only when I was commuting on the highway, my phone loses data connectivity (albeit still showing 'H') and never gets it back until I reboot.
I'll try the set 700MHZ method and report back. But will increasing the min CPU from 350 to 700 hurt battery life a lot?

I'm really hopping they fix this in the next update, it totally ruins the experience of using the phone. You don't know what you'll get half the time.

Based on my exp, you don't lose much battery life. I accidentally left the CPU at minimum 691 MHz and got similar battery life with 307 MHz as my minimum.

If you don't have PRIMELA03* bootloader and I9250XXLA02 radio on ICS 4.0.4 you are going to have these issues. Google even said so!!! ref. http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html dont blame google or samsung this phone is rock solid when used properly

I just noticed I'm on the 4.0.1 bootloader. I'll flash the 4.0.4 one when I get home to see if I can finally get rid of this issue.
I tried flashing radios and RILs and it really hasn't helped...
I had similar issues though mine were mostly when leaving a wifi area my phone would not grab my cell data until I toggled airplane mode on then back off. Later I found out about GetRIL and discovered that most ROMs (due to being based on 4.0.4) have the XXLA02 RIL (Radio Interface Layer) while I was running the UGLC1 radio. GetRIL checks for you and allows you to flash the proper RIL (if rooted with busybox). I flashed the matching UGLC1 RIL and havent had a drop since

u say always the same response to everywhere...but its wrong (PRIMEKL03 doesn't exists..did u noticed?)
the suggested bootloader is the PRIMELA03..that page have just a typo (i asked to jbq and he confirmed the typo, he will update in future that page)
and EVERYONE have the correct PRIMELA03 bootloader
the signal issue is related to some bugs in the 4.0.4 roms
it happens randomly for some people in some network conditions..is like the phone is not able to get the data network...no way to solve this until a next update from google
the people that said "i solved by changing radio/rom/etc", just didnt test long enough to get the same problem again
if u (and of course lot of other people) don't have any network problem, then u are lucky living in a place where the network and ur operator are perfect...end of story
i'm not pessimistic, this phone is perfect, but will be really perfect when they will fix this...i had other android phones before this, and none had this problems...i know everything about radios, apn, networks..but there is nothing i can do to make it working fine ALWAYS..sometimes the mobile network works, sometime there is no way, even after a reboot, only moving temporarly to a different area solve the problem sometimes, even if signal was full bar

As per my previous post I didnt change my Radio but rather matched my Radio to my RIL (Radio Interface Layer). My phone hasnt dropped data in the longest time since I've owned it and shows no signs of ever dropping it (unless of course I lose signal ).

This question has been asked way too many times. I say the same response because it helps people solve this problem. The bootloader and radio configuration needs to be correct at least as a starting point and first step in trouble shooting. you assume everyone has the correct bootloader and radio, now that is just presumptuous. I'm so happy that you know "everything" about radios bootloaders and apns that is righteous! your post was very helpful, a great help thanks so much.

This is actually not true. I was on 4.0.4 but had the 4.0.1 bootloader somehow.
I haven't had a single data drop since flashing the new bootloader with XXLA02. The real test will be tomorrow, when I take my phone into work (big metal building). If I get no data drops at all tomorrow, problem fixed.

***EDIT*** I believe that I have found the solution to this issue (at least for me) by flashing the FuGuMod Kernel as advised to do by 2 users (jetrii and slyydrr) who advised me of this in the following thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487056 on pages 7 and 8 respectively.
This fix may NOT work for you but I can say that it has worked for me. Please see post #33 (and onward) in this thread.
I have painstakingly been trying to find a solution to this issue and it SEEMS as if I have FINALLY found one so if I have helped you in any way then I ask that you please press the "Thanks" button and please visit the thread above and say thanks to jetrii and slyydrr as well. I also recommend that if this works for you that you go to the FuGuMod thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438417 and pay tribute to nikademus for his kernel!!! I know I sure have... Also... Make SURE that you flash the correct kernel version for your ROM ie: 4.0.3 ROM = 4.0.3 Kernel, etc...
Thanks...
Hi everyone,
I have decided to start a fresh thread here as I have seen (and replied to) many threads regarding people with the GSM version of the GNEX (like I have) that are suffering from random signal loss of both data and GSM services for apparently NO REASON.
If you are also experiencing these issues I ask that you please post them here so that they are easy to follow and I also ask for anyone with ANY answsers to please post them here as well. Also... Please post what firmware you are running and any steps you have tried to fix this issue be them a failure or a success. I have done the following...
I am currently on the FoxHound v1.0 AOSP 4.0.3 firmware and experience these random signal drops. I have flashed NUMEROUS radios / modems to try and fix this with no success. I had been told by someone that the issue MAY be a BUG in the 4.0.3 AOSP ROMS but I have a hard time believing this as some people do NOT experience these same issues while on 4.0.3 ROMS.
What did work was to flash to the Android Revolution 4.0.2 ROM and on this I do NOT experience these random drops which COULD mean that the problem DOES lie in the AOSP builds of 4.0.3 but again... I have a difficult time believing this but it could be true. Also... Stock firmware (4.0.1) for me here in Canada does not experience these random signal losses either.
This is very annoying as I want to run the 4.0.3 custom ROMS for their customization capabilities, etc but I cannot keep my device in a USABLE state when on 4.0.3 so I have to go back to my trusty SGSII.
Again, please post here to voice your concerns and opinions on this and perhaps SOMEONE will be able to find us a solution.
Thanks,
are you using your carrier supplied radio?

Yup. Im on UGKL1 which is the radio that shipped on my device. I have also tried other radios (XXKL1, UGKK7, XXKG6, etc) as I mentioned as well and I still experience the same issue and others have mentioned the same things as well with no successes.
There was this one time that I had lost signal randomly (while on stock unmodified out of the box ICS) but I was able to get it back with a factory reset. After that it never happened to me again.

Thanks for the comment. May I ask what Radio your device has on it? Are you running any sort of custom ROM now? If so, what are you running?
Right now the radio is KK6 (im on stock yakju 4.0.2 now) but at the time it was what came with the phone (shipped from Rogers)

Hmmmm... Interesting... You got an OTA update to 4.0.2? I have seen other posts that people here in Canada are complaining that they have not received ANY OTA updates at all... When did you get this?
Since I have been on a custom ROM I have not seen this update obviously...
I'm on GSM with Rogers as well. I haven't noticed any significant signal drops with the exception of my basement (no cell phones get signal there - its a fortress lol). I am on 4.0.3 as well. I have read that the 4.0.4 has improved radio... so it may be worth looking into. I saw a WIP 4.0.4 GSM Rom here.
I've been experiencing this as well. I'll have a great signal, then suddenly it totally disappears, and after a few seconds the signal comes back. It's even happened during voice calls as well. I experienced this on the stock device (4.0.1). I'm now using the GummyNex rom on 4.0.3 (w/ a stock radio), and I'm still experiencing these random signal loses. (T-mobile USA in NYC, btw).
It's not a constant problem, but it happens a few times a day. enough to be an mild annoyance.

You will notice because the signal bars icon will go "completely blank" and for example... If you are on your lockscreen and you can see the name of your provider...It will disappear completely for a couple of seconds and then come back...
No I guess I am not experiencing this. I'm not exactly sure what the difference between H+ and 3G is but my phone seems to stay in 3G until it transfers data, when its transferring data, it goes into H+, then back into 3G. Maybe this is normal. I was just curious because I did flash Yakju and the radios when i bought it.

Well, when I first flashed 4.0.1 yakju I got notifications of being able to upgrade it OTA. However, at the time I must of messed something up when I flashed it because the updates werent successful when I went to update it. So I got fed up with it and I flashed 4.0.2 manually via fastboot.

So I flashed this radio and I get SOMEWHAT better stability but it only accesses the EDGE network and NO 3G/H... Guess this is a no go too...
HD Rom, Latest build.
Radio - XXKK6
Had the stock radio with the HD Rom, and thought that my random lost connections on market were due to my not flashing the recommended radio. Flashed the recommended radio (current), and still experienced them. Signal is better, and oddly enough voice doesn't get lost. Phone doesn't show that there is no signal, in fact it is at 3 bars on H.
Edit: I use a regional carrier, that doesn't list APN settings. By leaving APN type blank, I seemed to have solved the problem. Also dramatically increased the signal strength (Using Network Signal app).

What is the name of this network signal app? Developers name and what does it do exactly?
Ok, this is driving me nuts. Maybe someone has some additional ideas on what I could try out.
First of all, I am on Verizon in the SE Michigan area. At work I hover around 2-3bars 4G/full bars 3G. The same thing at my home. I am rooted and w/ 4.0.4.
I have tried the 4.0.4 radios, the hybrid 2 and hybrid 3 radios. For all of them I get similar behavior.
I would say almost half of the time when I request data (try to open a website, etc...) or if I try to place a call I get a total connection drop even though a stable connection (either 3g or 4g) is indicated. Call won't complete and/or data won't work - no bars and a little gray x. This is when I have a completely fine connection, it just seems to crap out when I request either data or a call. After about 30 seconds or so the connections automatically resets itself and it appears to be fine. Occasionally i need to restart my phone.
I've been getting this with 4.0.3 non rooted and 4.0.4 rooted with all the above radios. it's a massive pain in the ass. I had no such issues with my DInc and my gf has no such issues with her Razr.
Any ideas?
I would say you have bad signal, despite what your signal bars may show. No amount of data drops will stop a call from being completed unless it is a complete loss of signal.
The other possibility is something is causing the ril to crash. However without you supplying a logcat, there is no way to be sure.
So, do you think this may be a hardware problem? I am getting "no connection" when I try to make calls in areas where no one else appears to be having issues. Do I need to throw my phone against a wall and use my insurance for a new one?
Ok, ill run logcat and post when it happens again.
Sorry for borrowing your thread, but I also seem to face signal drops and don't know if it's because of carrier breakdowns or something else. I have the XXLA2 radio and run the latest AOKP.
My logcat is attached, if anyone wants to help me.

I haven't tried 4.0.2. I could try that, but i'm confident it will happen with those as well. The symptoms described in that report mirror exactly what happens with mine.
I did three speedtests with my phone, on the third one I lost data and voice. Tried to make a call and got a "Mobile network not available". Almost like something is completely crashing voice/data.

A closer inspection has led me to believe that I do not have this error on the ROM I use, so I'm sorry for possibly wasting your time.
Thanks for the RIL crash suggestion adrynalyne, I requested a replacement phone as it appears that is the only fix.
Previously on the older 4.0.4 I lost the GSM signal AND could not recover signal every day after my phone went to deep sleep.
Since I updated, this morning is the ONLY day so far that I lost signal and did not recover signal.
Looks like this fix is not perfect but it helps.

arguably yes, isn't it the most important thing this update is supposed to address? There's no bug thread on 4.0.4 IMM76I. pray tell what you would have done.
There is another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614575
I think you should extend this thread title with "for me". Because who had the "real" signal drop during sleep issue, the new OTA fixed it for them. Probably you have another issue, what is look-a-like the signal issue, but it is not that.

I never experienced the issue, but I love how everybody is assuming that this new build fixes this notorious issue. I have yet to see a change log or any kind of information from Google that explains what was done in this release other than "a few kernel tweaks." People's posts on XDA quickly turn into accepted facts of information without any kind of verification.
Fixed it for me. What do you think it was?

I have no idea, but shouldn't these things be logged somewhere? It would be nice if Google issued some release notes with their releases so people can stop speculating whether a certain bug was fixed or not.
Some people don't feel there is a need to do a factory default after every update, I on the other hand disagree.
When I changed over to Yakju, I did a factory default and wiped everything. I never had a signal drop issue at all.
However when I got the new small update via OTA, I decided to let it run for a bit without the factory default.... As such, I experienced one drop as noted on Signal Alert.
Immediately I did a factory default and wiped everything again. Haven't had one signal drop since...
So not saying there never was a problem to begin with, but it does seem that factory defaulting after every update causes things to run a lot more smooth, permanently. At least for me.
Agreed. I always do a reset then restore particular apps with titbu. No software issues so far.

Will try this when I get home today. It's really irritating me how my signal just drops and I have to do a "Airplane Mode On/Off" to reacquire signal.
It actually got worse since I updated to IMM76I.

IMM76I was just a kernel. The kernel reverts the radio and voltage changes.
If folks really believe that IMM76I was not a fix, they could easily run an old 4.0.3 kernel. If it fixes it, then the problem is IMM76I, if it does not, then they are pointing their finger in the wrong direction.
Here is a 4.0.3 image I found. Fastboot it.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse
Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?
recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

agree with the first comment. Can't confirm yet WIFI performance but GPS is now really bad. It was working great on 4.0.3 same as WiFi

I do not agree. I'm also using 2.17 and everything with GPS and wifi is OK.
Have you installed the correct bootfiles also the Kernel for this rom?

I used only files from the instalation guide. No other modifications
CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.
I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method
Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.
I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?
After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal
sandipbarik said:
I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

That's up to you, but many users have experienced that some radios work better for different people. 2.17 works ok for me, maybe you should try.

I think i have the same problem, when data On, GPS On he sometimes turn of after i turn in and when put the pin and he try to connect to the carrier turn of again. This only happens now when i flash faux kernel and before with alex-v kernel..
So i was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
for reference, I am on VZW, with the 4.1.1 radios (as the updated 4.2 radios had me locked into 3G no matter what, at work)
and i ALWAYS do a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/system) between ROM flashes.
4.3 bootloader as well.
anyway, this has been an issue since 4.3 hit my device...anything from pure AOSP to CM builds.
when I am on 3G, the bars will go gray and i cannot pull down data at all. (and yes i know the difference between blue and gray bars, I'm saying ANYTHING will say "network not available" not just google apps)
toggling data on/off fixes the problem. I ususally run into this problem 2-3 times a day and it is ALWAYS on 3G.
its not a huge deal, just more annoying than anything else. just wondering if I am alone here. going to be giving the 4.2.2 radios another chance and see if that fixes things.
Having this exact issue...it's driving me nuts as well. At this point I believe I've tried every radio with no luck. Going to try jumping back to 4.2 soon to see if it solves the issue.
Me too
+1
I love how much fast my GNex is on 4.3, but I don't think I can deal with this data bull**** much longer. Frankly, I'm really getting tired of getting a new version of Android, being happy at first, then finding the HUGE bug that makes my phone a horror to use. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THINE VZW GNEX, GOOGLE!?!?
Just an update, as I updated my radios right around the time I updated to 4.3. I just switched back to CM 10.1 and all my data connection issues went away. That means it definitely has to do with 4.3 builds and not the radio firmware.

That's right, 4.3 sucks.

Edit build.prop and include this line:
ro.telephony.default_cdma_sub=0
Data issues are being reported on nearly every rom for the gnex. My data reconnect /switch went from about 60 - 90 secs to a reasonable 5-10. (don't forget to reboot to apply changes)

So happy I found this thread!
I'm having the SAME issue: GSM i9250 on Straight talk ATT sim (apn setting are updated and correct). Stock not rooted; been happening since 4.3 Update. From what I've read even folks on the N4 are having similar issues.
I've factory reset 3-4 times for testing purposes (back to "normal" for about an hour then those pesky gray bars and NO data on 3G/4G).
I have to do the airplane mode toggle every 1/2 hour if I'm really using the internet. Big pain in the ass!
I always rooted my devices in the past and haven't done the GNEX because I always felt stock was smooth enough for my purposes (quasi-work-phone and I need stability). If I have to deal with this bull-sh&% I'm probably gonna have to root and install a 4.2 ROM.
Any-whoo...thanks for letting me rant :^)
Hopefully "kit-kat" will help?
same issue its very annoying... did anyone find the fix ??

Is this a fix?
My issue seems to be on 4g as well. If the phone switches from wifi to 4g or if it goes from 4g to 3g and back to 4g it shows a connection with bars but never connects to data again.
