Hey everyone,
Thanks in advance for helping me out, first of all.
So, for the past few weeks my VZW Galaxy Nexus has not been getting a 4G signal. This is odd, because my mother recently got the same phone, and gets full 4G signal in the exact same spot that I only get 3G. Same radios (FF02/FG02), same Android version (4.1.1), only differences is I have unlocked bootloader and root and she doesn't. I don't get it.
Thanks for your help,
-Owen
PS This is around Tacoma, WA, if that helps.

Is anyone else experiencing "issues" with the CDMA radio "overtaking" the LTE radio? It's as if the CDMA radio rules over the LTE radio and decides whether or not to use 4G or 3G.
I've had to toggle LTE multiple times after it went to 3G in order to get LTE back.
noticed this as well running 4.0.2 radios, at least you get it back after toggling mine drops it altogether... but I just got my nexus today so maybe I overlooked something
sent from my Galaxy Nexus via XDA app
I experience the same, 4G works great, until it drops to 3G. Then it seems to take forever to bump up to 4G again, but usually I have to toggle it off and then back on. A friend of mine can't get 4G to work at all, Verizon has told him it's a radio issue (odd though because they tried his sim in 3 different Galaxy Nexus devices). I'm going to try and upgrade him to the leaked 4.0.4 build this week to see if the new radios will help him, it's too nice of a phone to be stuck on 3G all the time.
I just purchased a GSM Galaxy Nexus which came with the "Yakujuxe" build and a NTT-Docomo logo. The phone was running ICS 4.0.1 when I got it, and I hooked up to t-mobile's network with a purchased sim. I followed the post on the XDA boards to change the build to "Yakju" and simultaneously upgraded to ICS ver 4.0.4. All was successful except that now I'm losing the wireless signal often, not to mention the signal is weaker than when I was running 4.0.1.
I've heard that 4.0.4 is causing some signal issues with certain GSM models, so I guess I'm on that list. Does anyone have any ideas why the overall signal would be weaker (when I get a signal)? Is there an easy fix until Google releases and update?
Help is appreciated!
I did the same thing you did. i started off with a Galaxy Nexus yakjuzs build, then i followed the steps in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881 in order to get back to yakju build.
and in the process I automaticaly ended up with 4.0.4
I have a GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I notice that when I have WiFi disabled, just by glancing at the 3g/h signal symbol it appears data only comes through when the phone is connected with an 'H' next to the antenna bars but not when there's a "3G" on the antenna bars..... are my eyes playing tricks on me or is this an issue? luckily i'm in a good T-Mobile 4G zone, where its very common to receive HSPA+ speeds, and I haven't tested this outside of an HSPA+ 4G zone
also, has anyone read this news report? "Galaxy Nexus hit by signal issues with 4.0.4" http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-nexus-hit-by-signal-issues-with-4-0-4-update-06221869/ ??
it mentions that the 4.0.4 update causes signal issues, is this only for the verizon model? I use the phone on T-Mobile with the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus and I am wondering the same thing.
if anyone can please shed some clarification on this, that would be great ! please let me know, thanks !
i couldn't get the screenshot attached in last image so here it is again.
Hey guys new to the nexus world. This is the first nexus phone I'm used to the galaxy series.
OK so I bought my nexus from a friend who was on bell. I'm with telus and first thing I noticed is it doesn't say 4g on it just H I don't know if thats normal another thing is that my data speeds went from 7-10mbps with galaxy s2x (sgh-t989d) to less than 1 with nexus? Radio related issue?
Is the 4g icon a carrier related issue as it is with the galaxy s2 phones. Also are there any carrier based firmware like galaxy or is it all the same with all nexus phones
Thanks in advance guys

The Nexus isn't a 4G phone, its HSPA+...which is why is shows "H+" instead of "4G".
As for your speeds, I get between about 5-8mbps (on average) on Rogers with mine. I used to be on Bell and always got crap speeds on their network with any phone I owned. That's one of the reasons I ditched them.

Thanks I figured as much with the 4G icon even thought telus says that it is a 4G phone that supports up to 14mbps. I'm guessing the 4G icons for the LTE version in the US.
Are there any dialer codes that let you select band? besides *#*#4636#*#* or maybe a telus radio?

Not really, but its easy enough to flash a new radio (assuming you are rooted and have CWM or ADB knowledge).

This is a quick couple of questions for anyone out there that may have a solution. I'm experiencing LTE issues. These issues happened after my note was returned from repair and installed 4.3 OTA. Now, this was a while ago and I recently rooted my device in hopes of fixing the LTE issues, but to no avail. 3G works great but 4G will work sometimes as in: I will have signal but it is very poor in some instances. I've checked in with support and they are of no use. Did all the pertinent resets and reactivations. So I figure the LTE card thats embedded might be the problem. I've checked the APNs and activated the device via WiFi ONLY to see if that would help. And also after my phone was returned I noticed in About Device... in Hardware Version details it has---- Not Acti---- instead of the usual L900.06 or whatever. What may that be? Cause it seems strange in my opinion. Either way 4G LTE works now after rooting and rom'ing than before on stock 4.3 and 4.4.2 where switching to 4G would basically do nothing even though data was being " sent:recieved " . Now 4G works but still loses connectivity randomly when my wife has her S3 and 4G is flawless in the same damn location. LOL. So I know it can't be the towers. Any help is appreciated.
Hello everyone,
I recently bought an unlocked sprint G2 and everything seems to be working perfectly fine. No signal drops or anything, however, 4g isn't working. I'm living in Oman currently. When I select 4g from the data settings I dont get any signals. I know that I am in a 4G zone. Could this be a radio issue? I really have no idea.
I apologize if this question has been asked before. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Different 4g bands

You need to have a 4G LTE sim card on your phone... if not then it wont be signal on it.

What solution then? Do i have to flash a baseband?
