Network Drops Often - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm noticing with my Galaxy Nexus that the data connectivity drops quite often. I'm on a Verizon LTE device and this has happened with multiple ROMs and Kernels. I suspect it's bad hardware but I wanted a second opinion.

Bump.
I'd really like for someone to help me diagnose this if possible.

I'd say since you've flashes multiple things try calling up Verizon to see of there is anything going on in your area to cause that. If not you'll probably wanna try getting a replacement sim if that's still to no avail its time for a new device or you can skip the sim step and just get a replacement. Hope that helps.

I live in the Chicago area and my Droid Charge has been dropping data a lot recently.

I'll try a new SIM, I really hope it's not a device due to it being purchased from a private party. Thank you for your input.

Depending on the age the phone may still be under warranty if so Verizon will replace it. Good luck.

Still having data problems. No 3g/4g!!

This is really becoming frustrating. I switched to Verizon a week ago and had 3g/4g service for a couple days and now NOTHING. I called support (12/23/11) and after an hour on the phone, visited the store. Then after 2 hours at the store where they switched over the SIM card, gave me a brand new phone, and still having problems with the phone. So I had to open a trouble ticket to look in to my problems with my data connection on my Galaxy Nexus. According to the store, support said I am the first to call about the problem.
Store rep was on a 4g HTC phone...his data was fine. My mom is on a LG 3g phone, her data is fine. All in the same areas of town as well. Why isnt mine? Tried CDMA only and nothing as well. For about 10 minutes, I had a 1x data connection that was slow but it worked. No nothing, again.
If I got a new phone, new SIM....then the problem is with Verizon somewhere and needs to be fixed. I am paying money for something I do not have and its a waste. I understand there will be problems from time to time, but don't release comments saying the problems are fixed when there are clearly still issues.
Anyone else still experiencing data issues specifically with the Galaxy Nexus?

Was a nationwide outtage Verizon said was resolved a couple days ago. Was working fine on Monday/Tuesday. This isnt related to the fix to resolve the reception problems. I can text and make calls just fine.
Try disabing vzw backup amd google +. Stopped my phone from doing exactly what you describe.
I've been having the issue where the hand-off from wireless to 3g tends to cause me to have no data connection at all (wifi shows up, but can't 'do' anything like browse to a website and such, and 3g never makes a 'connection', but I know I'm in an area where I should have plenty). A simple restart of the phone fixed the problem, but in the long term, I shouldn't need to do this in order to get a data connection. Just my experience.

I had the exact same problems. I returned it & reactivated my Thunderbolt. I hope Verizon actually fixes the radio instead of just changing the number of bars that get displayed. My lack of faith in this is why I returned it before my 14 days ended. I hope they will actually fix it & I'l try again in a few weeks. You might consider the same strategy.
Also, I had bad data & signal before Google+ was even on my phone.

Everyone isn't having problems. Verizon's fix is just going to change how the bars are shown.
If you are having this many problems, just exchange the device until you get a new one.

I kinda doubt they are going to keep swapping out my phone over and over again until I find a working one. My original phone worked fine fora few days and probably is still messed up from the recent nation wide outages they had. They were hesitant on replacing my phone the first time.
Going to call support in a little while and follow up on my trouble ticket I logged yesterday. They better have a solution for me.
You paid $XXX for this device and you're afraid they aren't going to give you a new one because this one is defective? This issue may seem widespread because of all the complaints on this forum, but trust me, not everyone is having issues. Check my other thread.
Verizon already came out and said there isn't a performance issue with the device and their patch is just going to change the bars. So it's now or never.

Are people having slower 3G speeds on their CDMA devices? This is my issue as well. My sister's iPhone is consistently getting 1mbps> whereas I'm only getting ~100kbps down. Upload is worse at 47kbps.

I already got one new phone replacement yesterday. Going to call support yet again here in an hour or so and see if they have an update on my trouble ticket. But I would think it if was a defect in the phone, that this issue would be well known by now and posted everywhere on the internet. I understand what you are saying....just hope they get it fixed.
I'm having this problem too. I'll be on wifi at home, both wifi and cell bars will be blue. Everything is dandy. Then when I leave and turn off wifi the 3G icon appears and I have a few bars, but they are grey and websites don't work. I thought blue/grey just meant you are/are not logged in to google services, not whether or not you have data connected in general. A restart solves the problem, but it shouldn't come to that. This was a problem before the outage as when they were setting up the phone on release day in the store it took awhile to connect to 3G. Is this also why when I switch in to airplane mode I can't come out of it without a restart?

[Q] Verizon Wants to Take my Nexus?

I got my Nexus LTE on Wednesday, had it replaced on Friday, and now VZW wants to take it back all together. They are saying that Samsung is working on a fix on the phone, but now Verizon thinks its a Network issue?
Does any one have a Nexus that isn't dropping Data constantly? Is it a bad Batch of phones? Does anyone know what is going on?
The ones with data drops are the most vocal...
I, for one, find my GNex's signal to be COMPLETELY comparable to my Droid X.
I still get the same slightly-spotty service at work (center of a hospital...surrounded by lead to protect from the X-Ray Machines' radiation). Excellent service literally everywhere else I've been.
I'm also not experiencing ANY 4.0.4 deep-sleep related drops as many are.
Bad Batch
So, is there just a bad batch of phones out there? Because this seems that this has to be a hardware issue.With a certain amount of phones that went out.
Mine is working great, I had to have it warrantied twice before I got one that didn't drop signal randomly.
Seems like the ones made in Korea are your best bet for better signal. My China ones were horrible.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think my wife and i may both be having this issue with random signal drops while on 4G. 3G is solid as a rock. 4G drops and reconnects about every 3 minutes. Does that sound like hardware?
How do you tell where the phone is made?
i really think verizon hates this phone and doesnt really want to sell a nexus to people...
Talked to Verizon
So we are trying this one more time...
I talked to Verizon today, and the Tech person had the same phone and lived in my area and said she was not having any issues, which led her to believe it was Hardware and Software. She also said some razors are having the same issue, and if I switch phones I could have the same issue again. So, I am going to swap it out again and see what happens?
I have had 5 of these phones and they all have this problems.
Vzn just sucks!!! I can't wait until I can afford to break the contract!!!! and I thought sprint was bad!!! T-Mobile was heaven compared to this garbage service!!!!

Just because they are included in the CDMA/LTE version for Verizon, doesn't mean they touched anything on the OS side.

I believe that the radios, and maybe a few other driver packages, are developed by verizon and only distributed by google when they package their releases. That's what the tiff a few months back was with the CDMA phones being "dropped" by AOSP, a licensing conflict with anything that interacts with the CDMA tech being tied down and not open source. The actual Android code is google's game, true, but it's not the only thing the phones run on.
So there's room for Verizon to screw up the way the phones run in the OTA packages.

Just cause you're having issues with Verizon doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Have fun being throttled on T-Moible's "4G" after you hit 2GB .
I've had nothing but exceeding standard service from Verizon reps. Only thing I hate is that it took Verizon forever to come out with this phone. And the updates take longer than GSM ones, but still, its faster than any other phone.
I actually don't mind the 2 apps they pre installed. I actually use My Verizon and I used to use Backup Assistant, a lot of people still use it.

I got one that works
On my 3rd try i got a phone that works, at least I think it works. The agents said that it can't be a lot number on the phones, because the same lots give out good and bad phones. They also said the Razor is having the same issues. They just told me to keep this one on 3G only until the update Samsung is supposed to be sending comes out.

VZW customer service is amazing
I have never had an issue where VZW customer service DIDN'T immediately suggest "let me send you a new phone" when I called with an issue. The only phone I've ever had with VZW where I didn't warranty replace a phone (in Droid X's case, FIVE TIMES before they finally sent me an X2) was my old Blackberry 8703e. I'm on my 2nd GNEX (after a bad screen/battery life/overheating issue with my first) and I can't imagine every having someone other than VZW. I mean, I get 20Mb/s D/L on 4G LTE and 10-15 upload...and no matter how much bandwidth I use (with my husband and I playing MMOs via my GNEX) we do not get throttled. It really isn't VZW's fault if there is some widespread hardware issue in some of the phones that shipped.

Let me say it again.
Verizon did not touch the software or hardware in this device.
Did they supply Google with some apks and libs? Sure they did. Do they affect ANY PART of operation?
Heck no.
Verizon outsources their app development, by the way. If Verizon had modified anything built by Google, it would have broken signatures. Guess what? Google signs our otas and they stay signed (otherwise we couldn't install them).

Still getting signal drops! VZW

I have tried just about every rom and I still get complete losses of service several times a day for about 2 minutes. I am in hardware version 10. Anyone cone across a solution? Is there a better radio I can flash?

several threads on this, It is Hardware Failure from bad QA'ing on samsungs part, You need to contact vzw explain to them you are loosing both data and voice and they will send you a replacement device, no software patch will fix this.
edit:
also be sure to return to stock and turn S on before sending your phone back. If you can call vzw from a phone that is not your cell
Thanks but this is a Craigslist phone. No matter, my S3 will be here in 2 weeks so I will just deal then.

My signal suddenly disconnected????

OK, so I was gonna go to this place, and then I realized that my GNex had no signal! No whatsoever. It did spike up to full for like 30 seconds and got no signal again... Why does it do that? I did drop my phone before I noticed it, but when I dropped it, it still had full service, so I don't think that's it. I also flashed from yakjuux to takju (including radio and bootloader) but I did that few days ago and had no problem until today.
Since, it is still disconnected, I went to settings-mobile networks-available networks and then clicked Koodo (My carrier), then the message popped up saying "Cannot connect to this network right now. Please try again later." and now, I have this notification saying "Selected network (Koodo) is unavailable"
Does this mean that my carrier's sevice is off right now? Or does this mean that my phone is broken? Or does this mean that my SIM card is broken? I need answer ASAP!

The same thing happened to me yesterday around 17:30. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'm on T-Mobile's monthly 4g prepaid plan, so I thought the coverage was just spotty. When I got home the next day I noticed it was still like it. I called T-mobile to ask if there was a service disruption, and the rep informed me that there was not, but to bring it in. Indeed the rep himself was using a GSM Galaxy Nexus, and he had 4 bars. He even changed my sim and it still wouldn't pick up a signal. It's either the 4.1 update, which he had also, or we have bad radios.

Should use another phone to call your carrier and see whatsup.
How have you modified your phone? If you're stock, then its not your software. There's nothing in the 4.1 update or any of that that's known to be a bug with network connections.
Also, have you tried completely doing a factory reset and/or some airplane mode toggles or reboots?

Highly doubt that a radio flash can fix this. Sounds like a tower/network issue or something you changed in your phone's settings. Sporadic network outages DO happen.

I can guarantee you that it's not tower problem cuz my dad's Nexus S handles Koodo SIM just fine. If you are saying the truth... I am officially screwed since I got no receipt for the GNEX. I did email the seller of this GNEX if he can help me, but he didn't reply yet. Of course, that was few minutes ago and he probably didn't even check his email. I didn't change anything that can disrupt my cell connection. Also I am running stock and I did factory reset and the problem still occurs... Do you think this is because I dropped my phone?

Very likely could be the issue. Surely the seller isn't going to help you out if you dropped your phone... I'd make sure all of the pins in the SIM tray are working etc and its not damaged. That's easy to see at least.
Unless you can confirm your SIM is working fine in another phone, I'd still call to see if that SIM's account is all in order and active.

Just look at the tray and see if the pins are damaged or bent.
If somethings "broken", its likely something broken internal from when you dropped it.
Did you take the SIM out and use it in another phone to confirm 100% that your account/SIM is working properly? This is just part of troubleshooting... super easy and quick way to eliminate one potential problem.

Depends on the damage. It might be easy as bending some prongs, might be as much work as replacing the SIM tray. Unless it dropped at a really weird angle though, I doubt the SIM tray got damaged... the reason I recommend it is its the easiest thing to check without disassembling the phone. Everything else inside is much much harder to diagnose.
Like I've said over and over, if you've done a factory reset (and are on stock firmware) / reboots and the problem persists, its not a firmware/software issue. Also, if your SIM works fine, then likely you severely damaged something inside the device when you dropped it.

Like I've said over and over, if you've done a factory reset (and are on stock firmware) / reboots and the problem persists, its not a firmware/software issue. Also, if your SIM works fine, then likely you severely damaged something inside the device when you dropped it.

OK thanks in advance... I'll make sure to check that out as soon as I can. One last question... Do you know any place near Niagara Falls (Canada) that does phone repairs? I know this is a weird question, but just in case you know somewhere and just in case I need a backup plan...

Dammit.... I heard that fixing hardware related stuff is very expensive... Hopefully it's only some part of the phone that you can replace that is damaged, not something that I need to replace motherboard for... Thank you so much for your efforts... I guess if it's not sim tray problem, I am officially screwed and probably have to put down over 100bucks...

[Sprint Galaxy Nexus]No 3G Connectivity

So I recently JUST got my Galaxy Nexus, well I connected it to my phone line not even an hour ago. Well I am having trouble connecting to 3G or 4G.
I live in San Antonio TX so I doubt its my signal. I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, Not Root (I don't want to mess with it until this Issue is fixed because what if I have to take it to the Sprint store and they won't change it due to the fact that it is rooted.)
FG01 Update. ICS 4.0.4.
Can anyone please help me ASAP.
sprint wont help? why not call them on the phone it takes a long time but that might get you a replacement.also maybe try updating prl and profile and if all that fails contact samsung.
UPDATE: if you just put it on the line it does take a while for data to come on i had this issue when i switched to a iphone 4s for a couple days it should fix itself after a while. patience
Ok. I'll try to go to bed and See tomorrow. and the deal is that I just connected this phone so I doubt they'll give me a Replacement the FIRST day I connect a phone.
I'll try maybe calling Sprint Customer Support. I'll keep this thread updated.

good luck and they should replace it if its having reception issues, if the people in the store give you a hard time always call sprint ive gotten monthy fees waved before because of bad reception and issues.
OK, they fixed it, had to reset something like *#*# something. Anyways, is the Charger LED light supposed to turn on. Because mine isn't...

I don't think so, my doesn't turn on while charging either.
By the way, do you happen to remember the code? Since I bought this phone, a week ago, I notice very bad reception, most of the time I have like two bars and sometimes it drops the connection.
