Gnex comes with dual frequency WIFI radios 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz, when active are known to interfere each other's signal causing problems. Stuff is abit technical, but bottom line is its better to operate in a single spectrum then both at the same time, which most WIFI router don't do.
Fix is to run wifi at a single spectrum either 2.4 or 5, for me i stick-ed with 2.4 (as i was not sure enabling 5GHz would turn on both) and it resolved over-heating near back camera.
Another advanced thing could be done, that is to avoid interference of other routers, near your router. google for softwares to scan nearby WIFI, see what channels they are using and set your router to use some other channel to kill any interference.

Well theory is just theory and practical is hell alot different, worked for me lets see if it works for you.
I'll give it a try.....and come back at you later

it can't be facebook.... try and break it down into small pieces...
what do you use to access facebook, 3g or wifi or 2g ??
is there a signal prob at the place you usually use facebook.
like that
by the way i personally use friendcaster not facebook
There are routers that broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals, they are called concurrent dual band routers, but i will give your method a go, will report back later.
Just tried, fixed the heating problem

What "over-heating near back camera" is there to begin with? I know it can get a little warm next to the camera, especially on heavy 3G data use, but nothing is overheating. Overheating for me is when the heat gets too much causing problems like instability and crashes. But other than a slightly warm battery door there is no such thing on my phone. My Galaxy S and Moto Milestone showed the same behavior so it's nothing I worry about.

thanks for the feedback.... i dont have my nexus with me yet .... heard it over the phone, googled about the prob, its detailed description, probable fix and issue fixed at 2 places, feels great to know the fix is working
I don't have any problem, but it does significantly reduce the heat output at the back camera area.

Same with me. My phone sees both WIFI connections but I prefer the 2.4 gHz over the 5 gHz. Never had a overheating problem. I'll take the OPs advice though just to be safe.
Hello,
A friend of mine has the GNEX, and he complains about overheating problem "specially using 3G & facebook app". The interesting part is, he didn't only mention the back-near-camera spot, he also says that it's getting overheated from the front "Top screen part".
Shall he worry about it? Maybe send it to maintenance to check?

i think it keeps scanning/refreshing available networks.
Over Heating
My signal kept disappearing when I was sitting at home phone on desk.
I picked it up and it wasn't hot so I thought to install a signal booster app
which I should of new better they really dont work anyways. I ran the app
and it started over heating so bad that the screen was changing color.
I uninstalled app and rebooted and its fine now. So I beleive it will overheat
scanning for networks.
So is 5 faster then 2.5 or something??? What is the difference.

5 Ghz frequencies are much better to transfer large files over wireless, streaming hd movies and the like. Plus, the channels it operates on are less crowded than the traditional 2.4 Ghz. More info on Google.

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for a cupple of months now and I noticed that it get so ****ing HOT. I can feel that it burns a little bit in my pocket when the phone is there. The strange thing is that it gets this hot only when I am not connected to wifi or are at a place where the 3g connextion isn't that good, on the buss for example. So what do you guys think that I shuld do? Can I even return it now?
Thanks for answers

Mine gets very hot only when I'm downloading torrents and don't have a wifi connection.
What baseband are you on? Was trying to sort out my phones heat and accompanying drain for ages! Exactly the same symptoms (only when using 3g, particularly with poor signal.) . Turns out my issue was baseband. Switched from kk6 to kl1 and so much better. Might be worth experimenting.

Also it would only get hot like that is data connection is consistently working. You might want to also check if there are apps that are constantly connecting in the background that you don't really need.

It was actually my 2nd replacement. My first issue was with the phone bootlooping (not related to ROMs) after about 3 months after purchase (only rooted). It was that replacement when the radios sucked. Phone was always hot and it ate through a full charge in about 4 hours. The phone was going into a deep sleep when inactive (verified with CPUSpy) and the Phone was eating the wakelock (BetterBatteryStats) as it kept looking for a signal. Didn't matter which radios I used (4.0.2 or 4.0.4) the results were the same.
Turned that phone in stating just the phone was eating the battery looking for a signal (battery showed red for phone signal) and they sent another replacement. This one is ok (running Gummy 1.0.1 with 4.0.4 radios).
I can vouch for this. I usually have my wifi on at work and at home with no heat issues at all. But the last two nights I was at chili's which had no wifi so I turned my 3g on and within 10 mins of super slow browsing my phone was getting ridiculously hot. I read on another thread that if the 3g signal is low or weak then it will continuously ping the server which causes something inside to heat up very quickly whether its the radio or cpu. This is definitely an issue but I'm not sure if its fixable with a new kernel or radio flash.

Temperatures can reach 66 degrees, and the rear cover gets really hot.
Is it a hardware defect or problem is in the settings or Rom/kernel?

Hi,
I've been using JB since the version from io12 was out. Currently I use Bigxie's deodexed 4.1.1 and all is wonderful. Except one thing that is. The wifi signal is weaker than I'm used to from ICS. Especially the wifi range seems worse. Connections that I've used with ICS are now out of range. Some of my friend or family's connections are now very weak and I drop out of range very often. This goes for any JB rom/kernel I've tried.
I've tried several roms, trinity and franco kernels, dirty flashing, full wipe. I've even tried a couple of different basebands, even though I don't think they affect wifi.
So I'm wondering if other GSM GNex users are experiencing the same thing? I've seen a thread with a flashable "poor wifi fix" for the Verizon GNex, but nothing for the GSM version.
Verizon GNex wifi/gps fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739097
Any suggestions? Coukd a similar solution like the Verizon fix help?
Best regards,
P
Ok, allow me to explain whats going on with the "fix".
There were some folks who ported the GSM version to Verizon (myself included). However, they failed to use the correct wifi/BT firmware (I did but thats besides the point). They left in the GSM version. So that above fix is merely the bcm4330.hcd firmware and bcmhd.cal calibration file for wifi/BT from 4.0.4 for Verizon. It is not meant to be used for GSM and only applies to those who ported GSM to CDMA. Even with the fix, wifi is weak.
Verizon users currently have a newer version now, specifically for them from Google. However, the weak wifi issue still exists even for us. There are some who have strong wifi routers or are always close to them that do not see the issue, but it does exist for every JB user. Wifi is simply weaker, and BT is fairly janky.
It is a Jellybean specific problem, and I am assuming it will be fixed in time. You could try a 4.0.4 bcm4330.hcd, bcmhd.cal on Jellybean, but I doubt it will help, and it could end up hurting. I am thinking that broadcomm needs to fix these files.
Thanks for the reply and the precise info about the problem and the background for the Verizon fix. Very much appreciated.
I guess I'll have to wait and hope for an update.

The more I think about it, the more I think it can probably be resolved by tweaking the calibration file. However that is a bit beyond my abilities as I don't understand whats contained in it to know what it needs tweaking to.
wifi weakness
I'm not sure why it does this but when I am in my house about 15 feet away from my router I would notice my wifi signal dropping down to 2 bars where my other phone would stay at full strength until I got around 15 yards away.. I decided to see how far I could get away from my router before completely losing signal. I walked a total of about of 30 yards from my router to the edge of my street and stopped every time the signal decreased down to one bar(which was between every 5 or 10 yards)... every time I thought the signal was about to drop out it would return back up to 3 bars after a moment of adjusting. Once I got to my furthest point it dropped out completely and then came back to 1 bar. When I came back inside where I previously had 2 bars I then had full signal throughout the house. I tested this a couple times and it seems that it only uses what it needs. If someone could do a similar experiment to confirm this isn't specific to my router set up I would appreciate it. I also did not notice any drop off in performance in speed from 1 bar to full signal while I was within 20 yards of my router, however, I didn't run a speed test, I just used my youtube app to load a video... I will run some speed test when I get home this evening to get a solid figure on the speed difference. This may not be a bug but a feature to conserve energy to increase battery life.

didnt people have poor performance with their wifi signal on ics? did broadcom leave everything the same of did they change/update drivers for our phones with jb.

ICS wifi performance on the GNex wasn't exactly perfect for me, but it was better than what I get with JB. My router at home is giving me an okay performance and range, but the routers I normally connect to at family and friends are giving me problems since I moved on to JB.
I believe JB does come with new drivers. At least I've read that it does, in other threads.

Wi-Fi has been fine for me, but only when using 2.4GHz—5GHz, on the other hand, is horribly broken. If you are using 5GHz, I recommend trying 2.4GHz instead—hopefully Google will have this sorted before the Galaxy Nexus II ships.
you may want to revert back to ICS to verify if the phone hardware is not a problem? otherwise for me I have used both... ICS and JB, and I don't find any difference..

5 Ghz was fine for me on ICS. It works on JB too, but the range...ugh.
I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related. It's definitely related to JB. It's not a 5 GHz problem either, that's what I use at home on my d-link. Family and friends have both 5 and 2.4 GHz. I'm sure it depends on the quality of the routers also but I didn't have any real range problems with any of them before JB.

2.4 is pretty weak for me too.
I looked at the calibration file from ICS to JB. I don't think the difference warrants the problems seen.
From ICS to JB, these are the changes:

# 5GHz Starting Tx Gain Index
initxidx5g=96
I really hope there is an update to the Wi-Fi driver. Comparing it to my HTC one, s3 and nexus 4, it always has a lot weaker strength and speeds which is a little disappointing since its WiFi only. Has anyone else noticed this? In many spots the Wi-Fi will not even show where my other device still have half strength. I LOVE this tab but this only one issue is bugging me

No, this has much better wifi than the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has wifi driver issues.

I've been running resurrection rom for the last month and change. Flawless performance except the wifi issue. It'd the only rom I've used that has it. I'm forced to use my 2.4 wifi signal. My 5ghz shows up but it's stupid slow and has less signal strength? Even though it's coming from the same router. I've changed channels. Idk what to do. This is the only rom it happens on. As you can see in the picture it's weaker yet coming from the same router.
5ghz by nature of it being a higher energy wavelength doesn't penetrate through walls nearly as well as 2.4ghz so to have a lower signal strength with an equal amplifier power is to be expected. Diagnosing a slower speed is basically impossible to do based on the info you provided though.

Disable it from the router or phone? I'm familiar with ipv6 but not with Android. I'm guessing it's rom based because of the drivers because 5ghz worked flawless on OSS before I rooted

yea android's default behavior with ipv6 is bad most manufacturers make tweaks with their official software to fix it but some roms don't incorporate those changes because they may or may not be open source.

Hi guys, Im very concerned about in the last week I felt the phone gets constantly hot, especially when using wi fi or fat and I've noticed it gets very hot when using walking dead no mans land game connected to wi fi, and even when browsing.
Previously I've used the phone with heavy multitasking and gaming and never had this issue.
Even when charging now I felt the phone get unusually hot.
Before I've notice this heating issue I've flashed and tested a lot of roms, and finally back to OrionOS 2.6.1, this is my actual rom.
I'm with phone for two months and neves had this issue
Any idea of a possible cause and solution???
I'm very concerned because I know the effect of the heating on battery life and overall performance.
I've upload some screenshots of the normal temperature of the phone with gaming or extense browsing.
PD: when I've noticed the heating issue I've flashed a lot of roms to see if is a rom related issue but same issue with all roma even with stock Oxygen and stock kernel.
lol 40 degrees is hot? seriously? my s7 reaches 50+ .. oneplus 3 used to reach 60s :|
Flash a new modem. That should fix it.

Yes, my previous phone s6 edge used to work over 50+ mostly of time and nubia z9 even hotter temperatures but OP3 with almost two months of use never used to pass over 40 with about 10 different roms I've used.. That's why I'm concerned now, but maybe it's most a subjective feeling of temperature.

Thanks for your quick response, Ill try flashing new modem.. I've read in other posts about some overheating issues related to network searching, so I've turn off network,, enter airplane mode, but with wi fi heating persists, i suspect it's something wi fi related.

I think the overheat problem will be gone. They are known for massive battery drain too

I've tried disabling the location options, also I've tried with wifi totally off but the phone keeps overheating when playing games especially.

It's pretty normal that your phone gets warm while playing games.

Dont know what you call overheating. The phone wont overheat due the thermal throttle. I would start complaining when your battery reaches 45+ (not when charging and using) and your CPU +75. But believe me it wont come that high!
40° is nothing to worry about,
And, gaming,
Of course it get hot when doing gaming...
