from barely getting 4g at the house to having 3 bars of 4g, with new card...weird or coincidence?

Sorry, this should be on general, there's no real question here, almost speculation after some point.
I.e. there might have been some incompatibility with the previous, who-knows-how-old simcard and your device.

Vzw invested in your area? Updated nodeb's software in the area? Replaced a few hardware parts? New chip/rom on the simcard?

Weird GSM issue on T-Mobile?

Its somewhat sporadic but like just now I'm in an area of full hspa coverage and then all of a sudden the signal dies and it says no service. Usually an airplane mode toggle does the trick but this time I had to restart the phone to get it back. I just had installed widgetsoid so not sure if its related but I've uninstalled it for now. Anybody see similar?

I have not experienced this with Tmobile and the nexus but I know if you used a toggle app for some Verizon lte phones you would have to call in and provision the phone again..had widgetsoid installed earlier but did not fool with the toggles

I sometimes lose my signal exiting the subway. It's like it just doesn't reconnect. It has happened on my nexus s as well.

What baseband are you guys running?
If your APN settings for Data have a proxy entered, try removing it as well as the port. That can cause issues sometimes.
The above is assuming your carrier would allow you to use it without the proxy.

This sounds like the problem I have. I think its just a T-Mobile issue since I remember having this issue a few times on Sensation. I just hope they try to fix this in future basebands and software.

try contacting them and have them reset your connection to the tower???
dunno if that would help, but i always do that when i switch out my phones.

It doesn't happen that often. Its actually rather rare. My SIM is pretty old, I've had it since before TMo even got 3G. I was thinking of going into a store and asking for a replacement just to rule that out.

I as well have the exact same problem with the Mytouch. I have found that keeping it at 2G will preserve my connection though at limited speeds and I can simply bump up to 3/4G when I have to. It kinda sucks due to the reconnection time but it saves me battery and random signal loss

No love for LTE GN?

Why does it seem there is much more support for the GSM version compared to the LTE? I keep seeing radios, kernels, ROMS etc released but none for LTE...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Are you looking in the forum that specifically contains the ROMs for CDA nexus?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
The GSM version is international and has been out for a month, whereas the LTE version is a U.S.-only release and has only been out for a week. As such, GSM GNex has both the time and user base advantage. I wouldn't worry about it, though. The LTE version is still a Nexus, so there will be plenty of development for it.

Has it been separated yet? I thought they were working on it and it should be done in a few weeks..
Edit: I can't even find the sticky that stated they were separating them.. I'm confused now lol...

Got it! Had to clear cache and data on the app.. thanks!

Ya there's a bit of development for the LTE, but most of it goes to the GSM because it's been out a month longer and has a much larger user-base.
Yes its a bug in xda app. Doesn't ever refresh sub forums.

Love my Nexus, part of me wishes I had the GSM model but unlimited on Verizon is amazing on 4g. 4g throughput needs some improvement but overall its still fantastic.
I can't got AT&T or T-Mo...no coverage where I live.

Just wanna confirm I'm not overlooking that 4.03 is not yet available to lte versions?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
No idea where open is looking buy vzw gnex is getting lots of love fast a lot of top devs from other previous vzw devices are chipping in and things are coming along nicely
I wasn't so much talking about the devs as I was mostly referring to the updates such as 4.03 or the new radios etc.. however I didn't know there was another forum for the lte version..

Which phone should I switch to?

Okay so I got my galaxy nexus a couple days ago after looking at a lot of positive posts in the galaxy s2 forum. I love everything about the phone but the network is just effed. I got a strong signal on my sgs 2 almost everywhere which is not the case with this phone. I have tried three radios and different roms but nothing seems to fix it. All other connections work perfectly so I don't think something is wrong with the antenna. What do you guys suggest I should do?

The Next Nexus
Try flashing the various radios in the Dev section, the UGLA one's are made for CA I believe.
Switch to the white nexus, maybe your carrier is racist

Try switching it out for another Nexus, maybe you got a lemon?

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

To tell you the truth.
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

No, voice is 1x, data is 3g. Dual antennas. 1 for the voice channel, 1 for the data channel.
Every new sprint android phone pretty much does that, nv or not...

You just noticed what has been present on Sprint's GS3 since it launched. :victory: Keep in mind though that it's a network AND hardware feature. As of now, the only Sprint phones that support this feature are the GS3 and HTC Evo LTE (Sprint's HTC One X variant).
Even though I've been in a position to use this feature sparingly (but often enough that i was glad it was there), it's made me hesitant to leave my GS3 for a Note 2.

I just got my phone a week ago... so ya, just noticed
I noticed the ATT commercial said they were the only network where you could browse and talk on your iphone 5 at the same time. I'm surprised the note 2 doesn't have the dual antennas. I wonder why they didn't continue it.
The dual antenna was an origanal requierment of 3g and 4g. Shouldve been stock for years now.... nice they kicked in though

LoL I just noticed it today while browsing the internet and then all of a sudden I get a phone call and bam what... this is awesome and surprising... this phone is pretty cool.
