Are you rooted?
P.S. Your wife works in a low reception area?

Looks like this is becoming an issue, there's two existing threads on it so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269282

I'm hoping there's a fix soon because I love the phone and don't want to return it.
Edit: Just happened to me again sitting here at my desk with good signal.

Nope not rooted.

I know the Nexus had a crappy radio but I never lost connection with it, especially at my home where I lost data/cellular connection twice so far

Unfortunately I cannot say that I have experienced this, while I am at work I have my Wi-Fi on 100%, and whenever I step outside of the office to use the bathroom, or to go to the vending machine (Wi-Fi signal still barely reaches), There have been several times that it would drop the connection because the signal was too weak. However as soon as I got back within proper range It would reconnect immediately with no problems.

well I called sprint last night and the reprovisioned everything. They said this is the first that they have heard of it and are sending the info to sprint and samsung. I will report back later if this fixes her problem. I doubt it will though, because other post have shown that this is just like doing a profile and prl update.

I just tested my WiFi again at work. I am standing next to the WiFi Router, and cannot get a connection unless I reset the phone. I am frustrated. I cannot reset my phone everyday when I come to work just to get a signal.
I just jumped ship from AT&T's iPhone to this, and need to decide where to go next. Verizon Bionic?

I had same problem happen last night. Showed the international no symbol and didn't get a signal until I rebooted.

[Q] GSM Nexus poor signal performance since volume fix

Hi all
I've seen a few threads relating to LTE Nexus signal issues but none on the GSM.
I got annoyed with waiting for the OTA for the volume fix and 4.0.2 update so I flashed both of them manually.
Since the volume fix update I have noticed that my signal drops quite frequently during calls at my home and at my GF's house regularly dropping the call. Signal is normally 2-3 bars of edge. During a call this will drop to 1 bar with choppy audio and will drop the call almost everytime. Once the call has terminated the signal will then jump back to 3 bars allowing my to call again straight away.
My carrier is Vodafone UK, i'm wondering if anyone else is experinencing something similar? This only seemed to have happened after the volume fix update and 4.0.2 hasn't improved the situation. Before the fix was released my signal never dropped in my home but obviously the volumegate issue was apparent since i can only get GPRS/EDGE in my home.

I have the same problem with my h3G galaxy nexus and it's pretty annoying.

What baseband do you have? Setting/about phone/baseband version... im on vodafone uk and had problems after a flash so flashed the KK6 version and now its fine.

Lol there are plenty of GSM poor signal threads on here. Including mine

I have the KK1. Is there a way to flash the baseband without wiping the device?

I thought the signal problem was also lte. Anyone else expierecing the problem for the gsm unlocked and running on tmobile?

My signal keeps dropping every 30 minutes or so. Loosing the complete mobile network for about 10 seconds. It is really annoying.
Noone replied to my thread on the biggest German Android board. Started to think that I'm the only one until I found this thread.
Having tmobile.

I am on ARHD 2.1.2. With XXKK6 base and, when I make call the person on the other end can only hear me very faintly sometimes not at all. This from is 4.0.2. I had the same problem on custom 4.0.3. I don't know what to do next. I have tried going back to XXKK1, which didn't work so I went back to XXKK6. Anyone else with this issue?or suggestions on how to fix would be greatly appreciated!

Having same problem with ATT. Switch of SIM did not help. About ready to send phone back! Any fix or help in future? Back to N1 now!

I'm on the XXK6 baseband.
I muxst of been searching wrong as I have found a couple of other threads with similar issues. I'm going to try a SIM swap next.

I am Italian too and use H3G network as Riku101.
When buy SGN with radio KK1 had little problems in signal, specially during a coversation without a strong signal.
All these problems was fixed with KK6, now SGN work really good, and the develop of software and radio versions are only at the begin...

I flashed KK6 radio through fastboot and now everything's fine

Phone dropping signal all every 15mins

This is really starting to get annoying.. my signal just seem to drop every 15mins. And my phone jump from 3g to H probly every 2secs. And yes I have full bars

I had that problem with losing signal every 15 minutes when I first got my phone. I reflashed the XXKK6 radio in recovery and it fixed it. I'm not sure why that fixed the problem, as that was the same radio I had on my phone, but it work. There is a thread in Development I think that has all the radios in a recovery flashable friendly format.
As far as switching from 3G to H, that is pretty annoying, but I think it's more of a network thing. Most Android phones will just show an H or 4G whether it's in UMTS or HSPA, so you don't see the change. The Nexus shows what you are actually on.

same here. I flashed my radio many times but nothing fixed it.
That´s the only big issue with my GN and it´s rly annoying.
How is it possible, if I have full signal at home (same place) and after some minutes it drop to 1 bar or 0? Something switch of or what ever.

when it drops signal does it still show signal strength? or bars up there?
i was having the same issue where it would drop data, but it showed the bars there. What i did to resolve it was up the min cpu to 700mhz in setcpu and it resolved my issue, i no longer have data drops.

i had the same problem with XXKK1, when it switches fom 2g-3g sometimes it would hang and give me no reception. flashing UGKL1 solved the problem.

I would try flashing a new radio and if that does not work I'd return the phone for another one. That isn't normal behavior.

Had the same problem on roman's rom, at times it was way more frequent and would dump wifi as well; which was understandably unacceptable due to my use of native voip/sip.
Went back to a CM9 nightly after the experiment yesterday of build 27 and everything is better.
iirc, was on kk6.

I am on AOKP build 27 and just started to see my data randomly stop working but my bars still show and so does my 4G icon. You would also see the data arrows working. I was on 4.0.2 radio and upgrade to 4.0.4 radio to see if that would fix it but didn't seem to.
So has anyone had this happen to them and do they think it was Rom related? My 4G signal sticks so I do not have an issue of signal dropping. When this happens only a reboot gets my actual data back. It is like the Epic Touch 4G LOS issue we had but it still shows data instead of giving you the zero with the line in it.

This has been happening to me on AOKP 27 as well. I've never had this problem before on any other AOKP rom. Hmm, think I might flash another modem then flash back to KK6 to see if it helps.

I just flashed CM9. Going to see if it is the Roms fault.

Did you your phone come with the XXKK1 radio or did you flash it?
If it's the stock radio, then it means your GNEX was imported from Europe.
I had a European GNEX with problems just like you described. I tried flashing all radios available here in the forums but it did not solve the problem, my google voice mailbox would get a lot of messages due to my phone being out of reach. Long story short, I lost that phone in an unfortunate event. I bought another GNEX, this time a Canadian import one. It came with UGKL1 radio out of the box and never flashed any other radios because it's been working flawlessly in terms of signal strength.
I'm not saying it's a generic problem. But that is what I experienced.
I suggest you try flashing a north-american baseband, one that starts with UG and hope your case is different than mine.

If its its not too much of a headache take it back. My wife's had the same issue which they tried to fix with a sim card which didn't work so I got a replacement and its now is just like mine....spot on. Fyi my buddy had to take two back with the same issue. Good luck man.

Anyone fix this? Mine will just stop having a data connection. It says that it has one and the bars act as if they are working but it will not download anything. Sometimes I have to reset and other times I can just put it airplane mode and turn it back on and it works. I have actually tried all of the radios so far including the newest one with 4.0.4.
Extremely irritating. As far as I know, this happens because it is asleep, because I don't remember it happening while I was using it.

[Q] Horrible signal. My problem or Sprints?

So today I have had issues with connecting to Sprint's network. In a city near mine, they are upgrading to 4G. My phone has been going from full signal to zero signal within seconds. It is killing my battery life. I am running CM10.1 with the current nightly. I restored a previous version of CM to see if it was an issue with the ROM and I was getting the same results. Do I need to flash the radios or leave it be? Could it be because of Network Vision? Is there a way to back up my current radios in case something goes haywire?

Its most likely a carrier issue....make sure you have the most current radios installed which are FD02 if i remember correctly....other than that its a very rare occurance that software would affect your signal...probably due to the work that they are doing in the area....turn off LTE and see if the 3G signal does the same thing...good luck let us know what happens

Its sprints terrible network.

I've turned off 4g, reconnected with airplane mode, restarted my phone, fixed permissions. 3G is the same. I hardly have any service. The thing is, the past couple weeks the service here has been awesome. Then yesterday, this.

Well, I have confirmed it to be on Sprint's end. All it took was a quick drive around town to pick up a different tower. My buddy has a signal booster in his apartment and I was picking up full bars there. Here's hoping LTE is close!

[Q] Mobilicity/WIND Galaxy Nexus 4.2

Hi I did a root/flash for a friends Samsung Galaxy Nexus using >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124838< the newest revision on their homepage and everything went perfect. now I personally have a Optimus G2X WIND (2X) and I tried Domination's ROM but it was not updated anymore and crashed way to much so I am using Paranoid Android ICS hoping the JB gets updated to be more stable but no expectations. anyways I always ALWAYS get a HSDPA signal quality in all my ICS builds even in my JB build tests I have tried and never dropped down to 3G even in my Gingerbread builds CM7 I never had any lower signal than 4G but it seems that his Phone constantly drops from H to 3G and pretty much stays on 3G... is it a Kernal or Baseband update fix? What do?

I'm downtown Toronto on wind. Never really had a problem with data until I got the nexus. Almost always on 3g
I think its a wind+nexus thing

that's like my issue with my Optimus G2x I can't send or receive pictures yet they claim that the service supports it. but I read somewhere that most android devices can't do data+mms at the same time and that's why it fails

On Wind in Edmonton here.
My phone seems to stay on 3G most of the time, but almost always bumps up to H+ whenever I use data. I think it has something to do with saving the battery. I can't remember if it does that on the stock rom, though, as I haven't used that since I got the phone.
I have never tried MMS+data. so I can't help you out there.
