In perfect conditions, I see at best -75dBm. My friends with the same carrier but other phones can see as low as -50dBm or lower.
Why is it like this?

Because the radio on your phone is bad. -75 isn't even that bad. I get -100 in my apartment and don't drop calls at all.

Try to flash other radios. Namely 4.0.4 ones. If that doesn't help then it's hardware.

I can get -60+ dBm. and -70+dBm is not bad at all..

Yeah I'm not sure why you're complaining about -70.. sure it isn't as good as -60 but it's a hell of a lot better than -107 and I've never dropped a call.

My home must be some sort of a bunker, or painted with lead paint. I very rarely, if ever, have full connection and calls drop on a daily basis.

With -70DBM? That's strange. My HTC One X would drop service at my house, but not the Nexus. I had the One X on T-Mobile though so it was EDGE only which is probably why.

No, not -70. That's when I'm outside and far away from my dead-zone area. While in the dead-zone area I have around -95 to -111dBm.

Picocell?
I've told them before that we have this issue in this area and I keep telling them it cannot be a dead-zone since it was no dead-zone half a year ago. Then it was beautiful and everyone who had Telia had amazing reception. Now, everyone have a ****ty reception in just this area. Technically, it's in the entire suburb.

Surprisingly enough, I am getting 10 hours of battery life on LTE.
This is regular use, streaming music, checking facebook, pictures, and sms...
It's still better than what I used to get on my Incredible.
Oh dear. Am i the only one who uses the phone on manual brightness on the lowest it goes? I think the screen looks great even at low brightness. I rarely go above 30/40% as there is no need other than to drain battery.

I believe it is since it has the same internals of the Skyrocket just with a bigger screen and s pen. Which means just a lash of our modem on the Gnote(At&t), it should allow the phone to work on 3G.
Well the good thing about the note is that we will get even more development from our older brother.
The past few months, my iPhone loving coworker has been telling me, "it won't be long before you see morons walking around with 7 and 9 inch tablets up to their ear as their cell phone." Looks like his prediction is getting really close to becoming reality.

I don't think the At&t Note has the correct bands to run on T-Mobile 3G

I wouldn't switch to AT&T if they had a phone that turned into Adriana Lima and gave me blow jobs while driving to work every morning. I despise AT&T.

All the LTE devices on At&t use the exact same bands with similar chipsets which is qualcomm...well so far. Remember the Skyrocket and our phone have different chipset yet their compatible.

I think it depends on where you are at. Certain parts of town I always have 4g. I think the gnex and Samsung in general dont get as good 4g reception as HTC or Moto. My old Rezound got 4g everywhere, even indoors some places where my gnex has never picked up 4g. So not sure if you have a defective phone or not.

so in my church my phone has almost no signal but my friends with Verizon and other phones than the galaxy nexus have better signal than that of mine.
what I usually do is just
1. turn the data off or
2. put my phone into airplane mode
when i turn data off, after about 30 minutes my phones gets crazy hot for no reason. and sometimes I have to do a battery pull because it doesn't respond to anything.
today, I put it into airplane mode and it didn't get hot. but after about 2.5 hours, I had gone down from 100% to 75% battery life. also it showed that "media" was 95% of my battery use.(I tried to take a screenshot of the battery but it keeps saying "couldn't save screenshot. storage may be in use"
and my phone was awake the entire time.
this only happens in my church...
does anyone know what is causing all this?
it just seems so strange because I have no problem with my phone anywhere else. I'm running liquid 1.1 and the minimalistic kernel 2.7.1stable if that relates to anything.
no idea, but the power of Google has put an advert on this thread on the xda app for Christian dating nothing is sacred from el goog!

Your phone has been possessed by satanic forces which is why it is happening in church.
Try getting it exorcised or better yet throw it into a bucket of holy water for an hour and of it still works when you take it out you'll know for sure it is possessed.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.
