hello,
How is the reception on the Verizon Nexus? I heard there was a radio issue but not sure if it was true or if it got fixed. Anyway... any feed back will be appreciated.
Better.. was like utter crap before the last release.. battery was doing well and 4g signal worked as well as can be expected..
it's been great in Phoenix
It depends on your location. Some areas have great VZW coverage, others not so much. You should ask your local friends if they like their coverage.
However, I have found VZW has better penetration into large buildings. When I had AT&T + iPhone, I always lost signal at work unless I stood by a window. With VZW, my GNex rarely drops calls no matter where I am (of course, the two different phones may have been a factor).
You hear complains about the GNex radio and dropped calls/data, but you shouldn't let that sway your decision. Every model that comes out will have its share of units with constant signal problems, and the GNex is no different. Owners of such phones fill the forums with complaints & requests for help (legitimately so), which tends to give the phone a bad reputation. But the vast majority of GNex owners never have major signal problems. And those that were having signal loss with the original radios will most likely agree that signal quality has improved significantly with the latest firmware.
Thank you for those quick replies... I was asking because in some places I read is a bug with ICS and others that is the radio. I got a GS3 but i'm going to return it and get a Nexus till the new Nexus comes out.
I have good signal just about everywhere.

I just went to my local Verizon store and they phone they have have 0 bars... =/ that sucks.
I've only had mine for a week and Verizon signal is great. 4g is great too. Only thing that's weak is Wi-Fi for some odd reason. Honestly... the Galaxy S3 is a sweet phone , played with one yesterday. But for some reason I like my Nexus better. The screen on the GS3 is better but that's about it. And not worth it yet cause of its locked bootloader. You will be happy with a Nexus.

The signal is spotty. It was like that with my coworker's Fascinate. I foolishly thought they'd get it together a year later when our nexus launched. Nope, it still sucks in the DC area. My other coworker picked up the SIII it *still* sucks! I don't know or care if it is Samsung or Verizon that sucks when it comes to data on VZW's LTE but it's pathetic.

There are definitely areas where Verizon is not king. I spend a week or so in Torrance every year, and Verizon sucks there bigtime. In fact, I think ATT had LTE right on Redondo Beach. Or so I was told. I barely had 3G, although to my defense I was on JB at the time.
My experience has always been very good with this phone. This link says it all!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25921-this-is-why-your-verizon-nexus-signal-sucks/
I've learned to ignore the signal bars all together, as long as my texts and calls go through; which they do even when there's no bars showing.
4G is spotty on here, but I'm on wifi 95% of the time anyway, and on 3G the remainder...4G isn't worth anything to me really.
Cheers
I have no problems in Pittsburgh

Its because Sprint hasn't launched their LTE network, and when they do it'll be in very limited markets. Don't get your hopes up expecting consistent LTE any time soon.
This is why I find it hilarious that Sprint is selling LTE phones, when honestly a large portion of their customers will not see LTE in the next year...

I think you're in the minority among Sprint users, most are experiencing abysmal speeds. And even at those relatively high Sprint speeds, T-Mobile pushes about 4x that.

T-Mobile speeds are generally pretty solid everywhere in the country (as in, when you have service the speeds are great). Their network has a solid backend and honestly not that many customers (about 1/3 the customers of AT&T or Verizon). The speeds are good. Even at bad times they clobber Sprint. A solid EDGE connection on T-Mobile beats Sprint's 3G based on the #'s I see.

You actually think Verizon has better coverage than T-Mobile everywhere in the country? Believe it or not, Verizon does not have the best coverage the entire country over. No one company is perfect lol.
So I'm switching over from the T-Mobile G2x and I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus from the play store next week, and I wanna know how good is T-Mobile on this phone like the signal strength? Which HSPA+ do we get 21 or 42? Just wanna make sure it works with T-Mobile.

Are you on LTE? If so, the Nexus properly reports the LTE signal, which may be worse because it is not rolled out as widely as the 3G on your Incredible.
Also, the radios on the GNex aren't the best, as is widely noted and complained about.
I am on lte so if I change to cdma it'll have better signal?

Outside of the appearance of a "weak" signal, does the device function? Can you make a call? I have a signal of -102db at work because we have crap coverage of all kinds and can still make a clear call on my VZW GNex. Outside of the building I get more bars (like it matters) and can make the same phone call. Obviously data speeds are slower inside than out, but communications still flow.
Edit: Your giant 4.65 inch screen is probably using more juice than your weak signal. It's the price of a big display.

Yes I still can make phone calls, but when I first noticed it I had my wife call me and it didn't ring. So I'm afraid that I'll end up missing phone calls. I'm a firm believer in the "if you pay for something it should work and not be defective". Also when I talked to Verizon the tier two tech said it couldn't activate/communicate with the device at the the switch. He suggested a new sim or phone. He also said with the worry free guarantee I could switch out the phone for another. I would have to pay the difference if it cost more. I'm now wondering if since I got this phone for free would I have to 299.99 for a phone, or since it costs 299.99 at Verizon could I switch it out for a phone that costs 299.99?

I'm pretty sure it only means the difference in MSRPs between the two devices. Had the same situation a few years ago with Sprint when 3 Instincts went bad. Upgraded to a Touch Pro and only had to pay $100, even though I got the Instinct for only $50 on special.

I have AT&T. Been using the GNEX for months (before it was available on Google Play) and it shows ~1 bar/0 bars in my basement. I recently got a new GSM RAZR MAXX and in the same basement, I get 4/5 bars and never drop a call ever.
That says something to me. Quite simply Samsung radios aren't nearly as good as Motorola's radios.
I'm actually selling my GNEX and keeping the RAZR.

Yeah its a Verizon nexus. Man I really like this phone the screen is amazing, I get OK battery life, and the 5mp camera is really good in low light. I wish I could get the reception of the razr maxx as I'm hearing it is greatly superior. Plus with the razr HD coming out it makes me second guess. If I keep switching sim cards and phones until the razr HD comes out what would my chances be in getting that one as a trade in?

Slim-to-none in my experience. I think it's always been a tradeoff between Motorola and Samsung. I love Samsungs design and screens and ease of rooting/unlocking compared to HTC and Moto. For me, the carrier (Verizon) and their excellent network in my area more than makes up for the lack of the GNex's signal-pulling ability.

I get lousy reception on my gsm galaxy nexus on Bell too. This is my second nexus and it's definitely no better than the first. They keep making phones thinner and thinner and at some point radios, batteries, internal storage have to suffer. I like the phone but I can't wait until my contract is up and I can check out the new Nexus'.

No time without signal that high is killing his battery more than the screen. Cell phones want to remain in contact with the tower at all times, the poor signal the phone tries that much harder to stay on the tower.

If you're using 4G, remember that 4G on ICS and higher (I believe it's all ICS/JB devices) reports RSRP signal status, rather than RSSI. RSRP shows a much lower number for a similar signal level. Read this thread for more information.
I think I pinpointed it to the fact that when I'm connected to wifi I'm not connected to the mobile network. Does this make sense? when I'm not connected it is reading it as time without signal.

I had 7 months left on my contract, called them to see what the ETF would be, they said 50 bucks, cancelled that day. The ETF shrinks fast, you should check into it!
Welcome to Verizon, been with them for about ten years with no major issues other than paying an arm and a leg. Guess it's worth it for the quality of service they give.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I switched to Verizon from Sprint in February with four months left on my contract. They said the ETF would be $50, which would have been well worth it, but they never actually charged me for it. The service is far superior--I can use LTE almost anywhere as opposed to WiMAX almost nowhere and I no longer have to use Juice Defender to prevent my battery from draining like crazy due to poor signal, which allows me to use Google Voice to its full extent and save money on messaging--and it actually turns out to be cheaper for me than Sprint. The only downside is that I no longer have unlimited data, but 4GBs is more than enough, so it doesn't really matter anyway. I dislike Verizon's stance on locking the bootloaders for most of it's phones, but as long as they keep supporting Nexus devices, I'll be set. I think you made a very good choice in switching.

I agree with this. I've been on three of the four major US characters. AT&T had decent service, but horrid customer service. T-Mobile had great customer service, but horrid coverage in my area. VZW has been the best of both for me. I'd like better coverage at my workplace, but I think that our building was designed to be a Faraday cage anyway.
I've been with VZW for about 4 or 5 years now, and I pretty much hadn't needed their customer service until the last 6 months. Because of repeated issues with my Droid Charge (after owning it for 11 months), they freely replaced it with my current Nexus. My wife's Droid X recently developed problems with the screen and USB port. Today, they bumped her upgrade date up. It's was only bumped up to now from 6 weeks out, but they easily could have told her "too bad; you have to wait".
I'm not too pleased with the recent changes like the removal of unlimited data and the removal of the yearly upgrades for the primary line of a family plan, but they're still the top option for me in my area.
Yeah buddy!!! I just did same thing with mine and the wife's phones...no etf or anything..and I still had a year on contact. Was with Sprint for close to 10 years and finally got tired of the spotty coverage. No regrets at all. Limited data is better than slow data!!,

My Verizon upgrade is due in February and though I love my galaxy nexus the reception is terrible constantly in 3g. I had an s3 for about 6 months always had 4g but just missed my nexus to much and switched back despite the constant data drops..
Which phones on Verizon have the best/descent/worst antenna?

Yes, this is my third nexus as well. So either the receptions sucks or I have really bad luck.

I don't know about the newer phones, but my brother always used to get moto phones while I got Samsung and HTC and his phone always got better signal than mine

go to settings>about phone>baseband version= it should say for the vzw variant "I515.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02" <-if you dont have that version,go to this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890585 ) and get the latest radios,since your still getting drops and bad speeds you might need to upgrade your radios.
i have the latest radios, though my question is redundant... i have had a nexus for 2 years always keeping up with the latest radios.
Same problem here. It's bad enough that in switching to T-Mobile as son as I can. I'm done with Verizon's sub par network and crap phone selection. I love my gnex but paying for 4g and rarely getting 4g to work is just not worth staying with them. I had the same problem on my Moto Bionic. I think their network is just receiving way to much traffic for it to handle and they don't have enough towers or networking to deal with it. Sorry, just my rant I had to get out.
