I just received the galaxy nexus and got it from optus Australia, ever since geting it 4 days ago the reception keeps dropping out and data fails to work at optimal speed as it used to in my HTC wildfire or my iPhone 4, I've flashed android revolution hd , kang, and currently using foxhound and all have updated apns. Wonder is my device just a doggy one or is everyone else in Australia getting the some problem?

Try putting a different baseband on your phone. You should be able to find your countries carrier on the forums here. Just search.

LMAO! Rough man.
On-topic though, all good with mine on Telstra bud. Have you tried the latest APN at Ausdroid? Not sure if the Optus one has been updated recently... May also work if you try setting your radio to AUS by default, link and how-to coming shortly (I'll just find it).
haha im with telstra, brought it from optus.
do you happen to have any links to the baseband download? thanks.
I figured that as soon as I posted You should resurrect that Australian traders' thread in the MP.
- Go to the Dialer
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information
- Press MENU, "Select Radio Band" and select AUS2
- Reboot for good measure
This is supposed to optimise your radio to maximise use of the 850MHz band and stop it hopping off to 2100MHz in Metro areas.
Also use the following APN settings:
Name: Telstra Internet
APN: telstra.internet
MCC: 505
MNC: 01
Authentication: PAP or CHAP
APN type: internet
Some people recommend putting 'wap.telstra.com/wap' in the Server field. You should only use this if you need the Telstra portal, otherwise it just adds another link into the chain that isn't really necessary. TelstraOne will work just fine without it.
Let me know how you get on.
Yeh I've got same problem but after the update to 4.0.2 it got slightly better , I'm also on optus but got my phone from mobicity.
Its little annoying.

hey ive got it all done, ill give you a heads up tomorrow and see how it runs for a day, because previously i was in the CBD and it was still slow as hell so ill give you a heads up if i have any problems, but the signal is on full when it was on 3 bars before

Not necessarily. Perhaps flashing the DVKK6 baseband (Telstra) may help. Unsure. If it has an Optus radio they may have done something to prevent it favouring 850MHz. This is just speculation on my part dude, it works fine on my Telstra unit. Perhaps this is one of the 'optimisations' Telstra made on their model.

No worries man, I hope it goes a bit better for you. I'm rural and getting 3.3mbps down, 1.2mbps up which is marginally better than my Galaxy Note. Considering I'm probably on a 5.7 or 7.2mbps backend, that's pretty good. No drop-outs either.
Good luck buddy.

Make sure you use the trimmed .img in post 6, not the one from the OP. Unzip it first (before you try and flash it) as it contains the MD5 hash also and this will stop the process (or worse).
Use fastboot to push it to your Nexus.
alright, thanks, it worked! thanks juzz! number 1 to come to! haha, ill see how i go with reception for the week. Cheers.

You may need to change your SMSC buddy. I think it's in the menu where you change the radio to AUS2. I'll need to look up the correct number for you once I get to work. Sit tight man
EDIT: Okay. Enter the *#*#4363#*#* code, then go into phone info. Scroll to the bottom, you will see a field for SMSC. Refresh the field, and see what it contains. Mine is this:
07911614786007f0
You could try putting this in if yours is different. Let me know how you get on.

That's fine. It will only handoff to GSM where there's no 3G. As long as you're on AUS2, preferred order is 850, 2100, GSM

Rogers I747M
Question to those with the Rogers I747M running stock.
When you get connected to LTE, does the on screen data indicator show 4G or LTE?
I unlocked my phone to get it onto the MTS LTE (Manitoba) network, but it's only showing up 4G and want to know if maybe Rogers modified the software to not display an LTE icon like the manual shows.
On a side note, the MTS LTE network SUCKS. So far I'm barely getting any good speeds and MTS claims everything is fine on the network side. I will continue to talk with them to hopefully get better speeds. If there's any MTS LTE members here, if you're getting good speeds, feel free to give me tips!
Cheers!
I was in Modesto last week and had lte, I was like "how the hell does Modesto have lte and sac doesn't" lol. I guess this answers my question.

the force switch from LTE -> 3G when a call comes in is causing problems
Anyone else see their phone take too long to switch from LTE to 3G when a call comes in? This results in the person calling getting rings and then voicemail, but no missed call on your device. It only happens when the LTE->3G switch takes a bit to get started...but I'm noticing it quite a bit.
I called AT&T and they just "reset" my account, but that had little effect. What gives??

They are still working on the tower. I know a co-worker with the exact same problem who talked with AT&T. I heard that it might be a week before the problem is fixed. I'm on the UCLH1 modem myself, and haven't had any issues so far with texts, while she's on the UCLG1, if that means anything.

When I first got my galaxy s3, telus said it would come with 4g lte. It worked well and on the top notification section, it specifically said, 4g lte. Now I'm trying out custom roms and such, and I downloaded CM10. However, on CM10, the icon no longer says 4g lte, but it says H+. When I revert back to my old rom, it doesn't say 4G (i ahven't seen it say LTE at the end yet though). Anyone can tell me why my data connection has been demoted, or if it has been demoted at all? Should I just give Telus a call and ask whats up with this?
And yes, LTE is available in my area, I'm in Vancouver.

Jesus we're 20 miles from Connecticut covered in LTE and depending on your location on the island like 20 miles from the city where they also have it. You'd think they'd want to cover an island 70% filled with middle class families who ALL have a smartphone with a data plan

Not trying to be an @$$ or anything but you do know that aosp roms like cm10 and aokp list lte as 4g and hspa+ as h+ it will never say 4g lte in the status bar unless you're on a touchwiz based rom right?

I have tried several different APN's and none give me data. AT&T has eliminated the GSM toggle menu under mobile networks. It should have:
GSM/HSPA/LTE
GSM Only
HSPA Only
GSM/HSPA auto
How can we turn off LTE? and use only "4G" (HSPA+) My phone sits in my desk drawer all day at work and I'd rather not have it on LTE killing the battery. I'd also rather NOT turn off mobile data as then I can't receive e-mails or picture messages.
AT&T really is doing more harm than good by eliminating the GSM toggle menue under mobile networks.
SOLUTION:
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.

It's very strange that they would remove it from the Note II but allow it for the iPhone 5
I look forward to hearing the answer to this as well. Being forced to kill my battery if I'm not in an LTE area would piss me off.
just run juice defender. It will shut off your lte when your phone is locked and turn network data back up when you unlock the screen. It improves my battery by 1.6x-1.8x on my note 1. havent installed it on my note 2 yet, maybe after i see how the battery life is as is.

The iSheep wouldn't quit bugging Apple if they didn't include an LTE toggle. But AT&T can't touch the iOS software on the iPhone 5, which is probably why its on there.

The claim above regarding battery life doesn't help other people much without scientific testing. Battery claims need details on what was done and for how long, screenshots, screen-on battery time, and LTE signal strength.

So I guess we can conclude that att are real pricks and would rather sacrifice our battery life in the hope that LTE always being on will take some of the pressure off their 3G network
Even though I used LTE all day today, it really didn't affect my battery life. I know these chips are not first generation LTE chips and much more battery efficient.
I know this sounds contradicting but if I wanted HSPA+ only I could have very well purchased the international version.
I am hoping that every developer adds the option in their roms.s

att has forced this on the gs3 and the first note as well the only way to really get it off is to run a canadian base rom.
If you download "Phone Info" from the Play store, under device information, you should be able to choose between the modes and bypass ATT's bs.

This was taken from a Galaxy S III forum so they didn't take in the Note's form factor obviously. You just have to remove the sim, power on the phone, and then select your preferred network, and then power off, and pop the battery in.
It works though, I get my normal strong HSPA+ signal with NO LTE showing up.
Alright well my issue is pretty simple basically at my home I was able to get a cell phone signal last summer when I bought my GS3 it was only 3g but it got the job done. Now it seems that AT&T has expanded LTE to the area but just barley. My phone depending on whether im lucky or not will have 0 bars connection but day it's on 4g LTE yet if I try to text or make a phone call nothing and if a person tries to call me I never get any sort of notification most people think I'm just ignoring their calls because they get rung to voice mail as if it's a normal call. This wouldn't be so bad if dialing data worked but the phone seems to still have no signal when I do that. The APN trick has also failed me.
So my question is, is there somebody else out there that's found a solution? I have searched the forum but to no avail. Maybe I'm just searching the wrong keywords? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I think some people are too obsessed with this notion of battery life. Sure, LTE might degrade it a little, but is it really worth disabling completely? I'm sure I wouldn't, I want the full features of a phone, whether that is data speeds or other features. Unless you don't have a LTE plan, then I understand completely.

I think that's backwards move there! Because I love my LTE speeds I get, almost faster than some WiFi at home!!
If you don't want lte speeds, then don't get a LTE PHONE!
And another thing if your really concerned about battery life then purchase a extended battery! They start out at 6200 mAh, 6500, 7600, 9300. Don't think they'll have to worry about battery life with one of those!:thumbup:
And tons of external back up batteries also. I have a16,000 mAh backup battery

Just so you know, messing around in that menu can also stop your SIM card from working! Phone nit getting no signal, not connecting to network! If you end up hitting the wrong buttons! Fyi

I disabled lte as well, since hspa+ is plenty fast around here I just select wcdma all.
Automatic can drain battery if you're in between two towers, like I am.
Isn't there a option in settings > mobile networks that you can choose to do it very fast?

At&t based roms don't have it..
Jedi for example.

Ya, I have the menu option in <mobile networks>. I turn off lte if I'm in an area where it keeps jumping between lte & hspa and it can save me 15-20% battery over an 8 hour work day.

Is there a way to permanently disable Edge? That would prove more useful for me.
Often time, there is a "4G" signal nearby but for 10 seconds I switch between Edge and HSPA I loose data connectivity.

As noted before, this will not work if you are on AT&T as it is RAT restricted.
