I seem to have stronger signals. My wifi locks faster too.

Hopefully the 3g/4g handoff and the signal quality...had more dropped calls with this phone than any other I have ever had on vzw.

Do we just flash the entire zip in CWR? Does this address the service issues?

Thanks and thanked...

i have a nandroid backup already, might as well try this.

This is my first pure google phone so this may be more of a motorola question but does flashing leaked radios throw us off the upgrade path? Is there even such a thing as a uograde path on a nexus?

Getting slower speed tests after the upgrade. I'll keep testing... someone else try too please

Downloads are faster uploads slower which is fine I don't need 20 mbps upstream.

You will be fine. You can flash what you need when you want to..

Woohoo! Hopefully better radios! Can't stand the current ones.

Much better so far here, consistently seeing 3 bars now instead of 2, dbm seems to have dropped average about 10 and connectivity seems quicker ... thank you

This is my first Google phone seems flashing radios is different because this phone is so open on my Thunderbolt i flash radios in bootloader . Oh how i love my Nexus .

All I know is it is definitely not worse than the previous radio

Update from my phone: I get a solid 1 more bar of signal for 4G.
My steps:
1. Flash radios
2. Do the *22899
3. Wait 60 seconds or more til it finishes

[Q] Radio issues...software or hardware?

Just got my third consecutive gnex (verizon) from asurion and I coincidentally just got 4g in my area. I just upgraded to Jelly Bean and am having tremendous data drops on 4g. I read somewhere that this is a hardware issue and that I should get another replacement. Is there any merit to this or is there something else I can try? Thanks.

Probably a radio issue. Try flashing another radio.

Yes they are the latest ones. 4g drops even on stock ICS? Also, if your area just got 4g, I hardly doubt it is your phone, but the towers that are dropping 4g. Try to give it a little bit (a few days to a couple weeks if you can) because of the "growing pains" of your local towers.

I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4 ...gonna try it out... I don't think it's my area because I drove into LA which has had 4g forever and same thing. About every minute or so the radio would seem to completely turn off so it's just the outline of the bars. Sometimes it will stay off for a long time and I also cannot make calls/text. Never had an issue like this.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Just tried it completely stock ICS and reflashed the radios and still got complete radio drops every minute or so...I can't think of any explanation other than faulty hardware. So I'm thinking I should get (another) replacement?

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Network type?

Has anyone been noticing any strange network types on your toro+ I usually get EVDO REV A:8 but lately it has been jumping between EVDO REV A:6, EVDO REV 0:5, and 1xRTT:7 never seen all these different types before I just noticed it when I started using Jelly Bean. Speeds are slower also unless I'm by the Sprint store then I would see like 2mb/s but anywhere else more like .5

I don't ever pay attention on my toroplus. Lol

Absolutely
ACS rc1 stock
I think its just sprint messing around with their antennas.
If you don't think so maybe nandroid backup and wipe and reflash jelly bean see if it persists.
Or try a different kernel?

Since I see that you are seeing the same things I think it might be because its an LTE phone because my Photon doesn't display those networks I see I have data upgrades, and voice upgrades planned and some they say have been completed maybe it could be Network Vision. Normally if I had no bars call would not go thru neither would text but now it seems they will with no bars. Speed is slower since I'm on the outskirts of where towers are but better connectivity I can't explain it

My experience with sprint is that they have really screwy connectivity. I love their phones.. except the 4s which I hated and was useless. And I love their 'unlimited' data. But right now their going through a tough time. And that's cause I've been paying for 4g for almost two years and I have not gotten a single drop of wimax when I had the epic and the epic touch. Nor a drop of lte now that I have a toroplus.

Yea I know what you mean I'm in the same boat I'm looking for a gsm phone right now to leave sprint I wanna stick it out but the promise of 4g after 2 years is a bit much to handle seeing how I never got it now I just wanna go prepaid

Well I hear an unlocked nexus is cheap
But also my step dad bought a moto renegade and was promised push to talk... never happened
He bought an evo 3d... now its discontinued...
He's also been paying for phantom 4g.. he's pissed haha he's gonna see if he can "talk" with sprint to see if he can get a GS3...
I think that's pretty hilarious

Galaxy s2 T989D data issue, need help!

Hello,
So im having a bit of an issue and hoping someone can help. I gave an unlocked galaxy s2 t989d to a friend in the us to use on att. Data was not working so i entered the correct apn values and it works great. For some reason though, the phone jumps onto the tmobile network randomly sometimes even while in an att service area.
So my question, is there any way to stop it from going to tmobile? I want it to stay on att.
Thanks for any help!

Does it happen in any area or typically their home area? It could be several factors that cause this...is the phone rooted?
sent from my T989 full of CM awesomeness and a touch of Venom from the Darkside!!

It happens when she is at home. She has weak signal in her basement and the data drops down to edge. It then will briefly jump over to tmobile and say roaming then go back to att.
Any ideas?

well she's in a basement first and foremost, some basements can cause that. Thats normal, if the signal coming into the home isn't that strong in that area of the house, then thats normal and in reality there isn't much you can do about that. However, you can try to flash a different radio. I've heard good things about the blaze 4g radio (uvlf4) in some areas, and the galaxy notes radio (uvlg3) for others. I personally get the best signal off of uvle1 (tmo ics radio). Try those other two out and see if it improves. But if its only that one area, then that could be the culprit, and that unfortunately is something nobody can really do anything about. I had an apartment that was like that once, couldn't get anything useful out of my cell unless i was on wifi.

worse case scenario she can install a home repeater for AWS 1700/2100

it has been tested and it really works, luckily i have no needs for that, but I've always planned to install one for my Car when i drive to poor reception areas

Thanks for the help!
I will try flashing a new radio when i grt the chance and see if that helps. I figured it was just an issue because of the low reception. I just did not want her to incur any roaming charges or anything so i figured i would see if someone had an idea.

So i have decided to try out the stock tmobile 4.0.4 rom with the tmobile radio that comes stock. One question, csn i flash the odin of stock tmobile right over the stock telus 4.0.3 without issue or do i need to unlock the bootloader and root first?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

**edit** i found an image for the stock 4.0.4 tmobile rom for odin. Before i flash it, just wsnt to check if i have to install cwm, or root or unlock bootloader to do something first or can i just put the phone into download mode and just odin it right over the stock telus 4.0.3?

My signal is horrible. Need help[Solved]

I have had this phone for about 4 or 5 days. When at my house I get 3g and only about 1 or 2 bars. This happened on my Samsung stratosphere too. Could this be a SIM card issue or hardware. I have read about a lot of people replacing this phone and still getting issues with signal. If I do bring my phone in to a Verizon store to get a sim card do I have to revert my phone to stock? I don't know if I should send my phone back or if where I live is just horrible for data. Sorry for so many questions.

Flash another baseband radio and if you are using custom rom with custom kernel then flash stock galaxy nexus's kernel.

Since it is the case for two phones, then maybe the 3G coverage is not good in your place.
Try asking others living around to confirm if they also suffer the same 3G coverage problem. Also try in another place to see if it still shows a weak signal everywhere or only at your place.

I do get better signals in different areas. Even with the 3g and 1 bar my speeds for browsing are decent but I just was wondering if a sim card or replacement would help. Thanks and I will ask some people

If you would like to try another baseband radio as suggested by manumanfred then this thread should help you if you have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus as it seems
Check this for baseband radios if you have a GSM Galaxy Nexus

I flashed the 4.0.4 radios and they didn't change. Should I try flashing again?

Flashing radios makes a slight, if at all a difference. Your best bet would be to keep calling and complaining to your provider, ive seen some success stories where others have been able to get verizon/att to pay for a 3g extender

Edit:Alright thanks. I think I am just in a bad area and I use wifi at my house anyways. Thanks
I accidentally misread the radio labels. The 4.0.4 did install.

I am not sure that an old radio will perform better than the newer one. Give them a try then choose the one that suits you better

Well I am going to have to switch back to the latest. Data barely turns on when on these 4.0.4 radios. I am not going to return my phone because I doubt mine is defective. Thanks to everyone for helping

4.0.4 radios are old. Try running something a little newer. I'm using FC04/FC05. Although honestly I don't really see a difference. Most of the time it just adjusts the timings between switching in and out of 4G... which I have disabled.
I would also recommend looking at a cellular booster/repeater. I work underground in the bottom floor of an office complex and we don't get signal from any carrier. We paid like $200 for a repeater and now we're good.
