Update IMM76I Real or fake?

What do you think about this?
Some users are receiving a special update for resolve lost signal issues... or so they say ...
http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=4376163&postcount=69

would be nice if it is true

Could be legit, the kernel version is newer, but some people do have too much time on their hands so it could be fake.
Time will tell I guess.

Gonna call bull**** until I hear more about this.

I think it´s real...

I hope its real. My phone doesn't have the sleep bug with signal loss but I noticed twice now that for no reason when the phone is charging, the reception bars go grey and take about five mins to become active again. Might just be an unstable radio even though I'm using XXLA2. Might try out UGLC1 tonight

This happens all the time, this is not a "secret update" is a testing build, they have to test solutions in real scenarios with people that is experiencing the problem with controlled results, check the Transformer Prime forums here at XDA and you will see that ASUS contacted users via PM to ask them to test a new build that would fix some issues before release it to general use, Motorola does this also at their support forums and I'm sure a lot of more companies. So, this is just an indicator that google is working on it and in my opinion is that users on which they have trusted should not share it, because that will cause for us no to be trusted again..
That is my opinion

I'd imagine it's legit. I guess we'll find out...

I just got it
I just got the IMM76I update on my Galaxy Nexus 30 minutes ago. But I wasn't having any connection problems before. Can't see any difference yet.

Grey bars only means your not connected to googles services like sync and so on.. still able to use internet though!

I've already replied to you in the other thread, but would you please post the link to the file? Look in this file and see if you see any filename that ends with a .zip:

Thanks!

Has anyone had a positive experience with it?
I personally am not having the issue but would like to know if it has fixed the problem for people with the sleep/reception issues
How do you flash this update?

Official VZW 4.0.4?

I've been away for a bit and was wondering if the VZW CDMA 4.0.4 was ever released. I see reports that the GSM release fixed the dropped data for several people and I would like to see that come to CDMA. Unfortunately the leaked 4.0.4 still drops data for me

Nope.
No. Officially VZW is on 4.0.2 still. There were some rumors a month ago that VZW would be getting 4.0.5 in early April but nothing ever came of the rumor.

Supposedly our next update (VZW GNexus) is going to be 4.0.5 which should fix the radio issues and improve dock performance so that Samsung can finally release a dock for the VZW GNexus. When all of this will happen? Nobody knows. Probably 2015 at this rate >.>

I agree, I am running BAMF and love it. The rom isn't the problem though, the radio is. No matter what combination of ROM/Radio I constantly get data drops if I leave LTE enabled. If I just run on 3G everything is fine.

Dear OP, I finally gave in last month and started to get refurbished devices.
And now, I have absolutely no complaints other than half pink / half green tints on the screen
But even with stock 4.0.2 no LTE drops what so ever. Even one-way microphone issue is somewhat resolved as I haven't experienced any yet..
Get a replacement device...what a world of a difference.
and do check out the thread I wrote here.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I had some problems with signal strength, etc. Flashed with GummyNex and the 4.0.4 radios and it seems a little improved, but nothing drastic. Call quality is definetely better though.

Annoyingly low reception?

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

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.

Ohh haha I misunderstood, sorry! Try asking your carrier for a picocell.

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.

Poor/no signal strength on vzw...radio issue?

Hey guys
So I bought this phone on Craigslist so I cannot have it replaced by verizon. When I got it I did a full wipe and reset. Then I installed franco's kernal and am currently running bugless beast with job 4.1.1.. The issue is that my signal is constantly disappearing or just poor in general.
I found a method that was supposed to fix this problem by raising the minimum CPU to 700mhz. But this did nothing.
Will installing a new radio help? If so which one do you recommend? Or am I just screwed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I have found that using the stock 4.0.2 radios has helped me a lot. They have given me a 70% improvement in dropped signal and poor audio quality. Having said that its still way worse than any other 4g phone I have ever owned. Lol. (Bionic,revolution,Droid charge, Droid razr, rezound, thunderbolt)
PS I am on my second nexus, still does it.

This is good news! Now my question is this. Once this update drops, will our best course of action be to go back to stock and update via ota? And then flash back to custom ROM? Or will flashing back to a custom ROM override the new baseband?

If the screenshot in that article means anything, the new update still has the FC04/FC05 radios. Maybe they tweaked the stock ROM a bit for better reception, but if that's the only change then the update won't help anyone running a Jelly Bean ROM. You'd be forced to go back to stock for the better reception.

I have extensive knowledge on this issue its your baseband version if its 09 your good your radio will be great. You have 10. Check under your settings and you will see. Its under baseband version in about phone. Good news is you can return to Verizon.just don't tell them u bought it on Craigslist. I returned mine off CL.

Nope the store can't do anything for you. You have to call tech support and say you have a horrible data issue. Then they will mail you a new one. Return to factory before you call that way if they ask questions regarding , build number, etc. you'll have it to read .

Based upon this sentence, I question your "extensive knowledge". I'm running with an i515.09 hardware revision and have garbage reception.

It's a per phone basis.

Compared to other nexus's or are you in a bad reception area? I'm not gonna argue w you but I went through 8 replacement nexus and the only one that worked was a 09 and based off EXTENSIVE internet research that seems to be the case w almost everyone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I've had the signal problem with both the 9 and 10. My first phone was a 10 with no problems. I have a 9 now with no problems, but had both with problems in between.
One work around I found was to switch to cdma only. Not great to not have 4g but at least data works and no dropped calls.

That's very odd cause on the 8 replacements I went through, none ever had no problems , the problems were consistent. That's odd that you had a phone with no problems and it started acting up. The 10 and 9 are made in different places from what I've been told from Verizon, and the 09 supposedly dont have the radio issue. Out of all the replacments I got, the first one (and only) to work was a 09 from Korea.

[POLL] New Verizon 4.1.1 radios Better/Same/Worse

This is a section for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners having flashed the new 4.1.1 radios vs. the old ones from 4.0.4.
There are 3 options to choose from in this poll. If you feel they are better and have noticed a difference, check "Better". If you have noticed no difference at all, check "Same". Last, if you are experiencing more problems with it and it was better on your phone with the 4.0.4 radios, check "Worse'.
Hope this gives an insight to everyone who want to see lots of reactions to the new radios!

Be advised, this poll is to just gain some knowledge on how people are experiencing the new radios on their own phones.
I understand that everyone most likely will experience differences than others.

I didn't see anything to get excited about in my area. Im covering about 50 miles on my trip home every day, and i cant say it's any better than the hybrid i was on. Still a few holes with poor coverage, LTE still the same where it's available, no change in 3G either. I'll roll it through the weekend and see how it pans out.
Edit: must be slightly better on my end...was pulling a full signal on 4G at the house momentarily. Typically only 3 bars.

I actually get better coverage with the new radios. I notice it switches a lot faster from 3G to 4G, not to mention I'm getting 4G in areas I was only getting 3G before. I live in a very rural area and travel 40 miles to school each day, so I think I have a good area to test this over. I think it was well worth flashing the new radios, even though they've only been out a couple days.

At first I was getting good service and better speeds. But then after I restarted it, it wouldn't connect to 4G, would have poor reception, and for some reason at times, would show no bars at all except the letter "r"
