Wondering if anyone has the same issue: after losing the network signal (in the underground garage), it takes up to 2 minutes to reconnect when I exit the garage... Very embarassing, I checked on my old LG Optimus 2X and ZTE Blade and reconnecting takes 10 sec max.... I am on the latest CM10.1, using the latest radio, I remember the problem existed in stock as well. Thanks...
Guess I am the only one having this issue...
No, you're not the only one. And not the first person to post about it either.
In my case it's taken far more than two minutes. As you said, it's easily repeatable. Just go into an area with no signal like an underground garage. I've seen close to ten minutes and I just gave up and cycled airplane mode to fix it.
It's really surprising how much basic functionality doesn't work right on Nexus devices.

As if the poorly engineered radio and antenna weren't enough, my Nexus has crashed and rebooted multiple times during navigation. By the time it rebooted and finally grabbed a weak 3G signal, I had already missed my turns.
Fvck you Samsung. Stick with making toasters. Leave the engineering to Motorola and HTC.

OK. First, you should relax a bit. It's not that a big of a deal. It's a first gen ICS device so you shouldn't be too surprised by teething pains. I just used Google Nav to drive cross-country and let me tell you, it worked pretty darn well. It did freeze up solid once which required not only a battery pull but a "time out" before I could get the device to reboot. All was good after 5 minutes. Other times, I had to use the task manager to kill previous instances to get it to work. Not bad for 3,000 miles of travel. Didn't miss a turn. Had good signal. Only a little GPS drift a couple of times which makes me wonder if the GN GPS supports WAAS. Doubt it. Either way, it is miles better than my Galaxy S which frankly, isn't saying much, but still it was miles better.
On my trip, Google maps pulled in 1.10Gb of images and I got three warning messages from AT&T. One told me I should use WiFi because I was close to being in the top 5%. Another told me I shouldn't be tethering (which I wasn't... this week). And finally, I got a message from AT&T that said they were suckers!!! Going down to AT&T today to rough them up a bit.
Never noticed any crashing here in the UK whilst navigating either. Maybe its linked to a poor signal?

no crashing here in Canada... used it for about 2 hours in city driving
I have seen around the forums a lot of talk about the radio for the galaxy nexus and the problems that they are causing. I recently bought a VERIZON galaxy nexus off of ebay, and upon activating it I probably lost signal 5 times over the course of the first hour I had it. I am not talking about low signal, I am talking about going from full bars to x (as if it is resetting the radio). It seems to happen almost every time i try to initiate a phone call or start to surf the internet. I have to try to call them, wait for my signal to disappear, and then wait for my signal to come back before I can make any kind of phone call. I saw posts about simply needing to flash new radio imgs to it so that is what I started doing. No combination of radios has fixed this thus far. Luckily it has a 14-day return policy.
My question is, has anyone out there with the verizon Baseband I515.10 been having similar problems, and found a proper combination or radio/kernel/rom that made all of this crazyness go away? Because I really love the phone to death (minus the battery life even with a 3800mah battery) but if i can't actually use my smart phone as a reliable phone then there is no point in keeping it.
Currently I am using FC05 and while it was better than the old 4.0.4 radio, it is still just not enough. Running Liquid ROM with Trinity Kernel.
OK so I've searched this a lot and really didn't want to make a thread but it's driving me crazy. My WiFi calling is rock solid all day and then from 6, 7, or 8pm till around midnight it constantly drops and comes back. I've gotten the red invalid certificate thing and reg99 (or 09). Whichever one IS NOT the 911 one, my address is up to date.
Is it network traffic at night or what?? My house has 0 cell coverage so WiFi calling is important. It's getting really frustrating having it drop and come back every few minutes.
I'm on frostyjb, but I think that's probably irrelevant. From the tmo forums it sounds like these issues have been around for a year or so. Does anyone have any advice, or tips or tricks?
Thanks.
Most likely its due to increased traffic on your isp. They probably don't have a very good uplink making it easier to run into these type problems.
That's my best guess seeing as it always happens at the times known for heaviest traffic.

I've been using Wi-Fi calling since it was first released on Blackberry, haven't noticed a specific time when it fails, seems to be random.
I will say each phone has had its own "quirks". the HTC Sensation wouldn't like to re-register to Wi-Fi Calling until it established a mobile network connection, pretty annoying
but I will say without a doubt this is the worst phone for Wi-Fi calling I've had to date. Samsung really needs to fix it. generally my issues include:
- One way audio (10% of the time, or more)
- "Digitized" voice calls
- Red certificate error
- WiFi calling just shuts down, in the menus it says "enabling calling", typically takes 3 - 4 minutes to come back up
- Dropped calls, typically due to above
- Wi-Fi signal drops, I have my router on my desk and I can watch the Wi-Fi connection bar randomly drop to 1 / 2 bars for a few mins then go back up, why? no idea. Doesn't happen on my Tab 10.1 or other devices
OVerall its an awesome phone if you have signal, but the wi-fi calling is trash

I am in the same situation and I assumed it was just my phone losing wifi coverage at least now I know im not crazy. I would assume its just something to do with the date turnover because it seems to happen at around 9pm for me which is midnight on the east coast.
I had the same problem, So first i would try updating the firmware for your router. If that doesnt work, Check to see if your router is a single or dual band. I had a single band Linksys,which gave me terrible reception, so I upgraded to a dual band and the problem is much better now.
I have a dual band router but I don't use 5g because its range is pretty bad. It has drop outs when I go in the bathroom and that's a big time use for me lol.
When wifi calling drops I still have full wifi signal and the Internet works. It really sucks because I have 0 bars in my house. I've seen 2 bars but as soon as I touch the phone I get the do not enter circle.
I'll try updating the fw to see if it helps tonight. I've read something about the security used can mess with it? I just think it's weird that its usually at a specific time. Ie the security settings is a cop out.
Yeah, I read that having mac filtering enabled or a hidden ssid can cause issues too. Check that out while youre updating your firmware. Edit: I also tried a factory reset, which you might want to look into. Also, try testing other kernals/modems!. Thats all I got for ya though. Best of luck

I blame tmo...
I ran a speedtest immediately to see if anything was suspicious. I still need to play with the router

I plan on flashing FrostyJB and Xquizit tomorrow. I'll let you know if I can replicate the issue on either rom.
Is it possible that having Comcast voice is somehow screwing up the internet? Like if tmo and Comcast are sending similar packets??
Not Only Me
Its nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem.
I updated the firmware on the phone, bought a new router; still have the problem... The little blue phone icon comes and goes, turns red. Seems to do what ever it feels like doing.
Will follow the thread for a solution.
Thanks to all for the effort.:good:
The last few nights have been a little better. With it usually coming back after leaving the phone on for a minute or so but it's still dropping every night. It really sucks for me because my house has 0 bars.
Im also having same problem where I live. I have no bars. I use Grove ip to make calls when wifi calling dosent work but I need wifi calling to send and receive mms thats the only down fall to grove ip

I have been having the same issues too. Not necesarilly at specific times, pretty much all times of the day. Specifically random disconnects in the wifi calling (losing the symbol all together, then it comes back spontaniously whenever it wants). Probably the most irriating is the one way audio which has occured EVERY PHONE CALL RECIEVED OR PLACED for the 1st time after about 10 minutes of inactivity (meaning everytime I make or recieve a call the one way audio happens and I have to call back or the other party must blah blah blah). And digitized calling is almost a guarantee on every call. All is well with router and wifi settings, no data/cell service inside the building at all.
This is my second GSIII (this is a refurb POS they sent me after my new one had a screen crack). After 2 week back and fourth they are replacing it Ill have a new one tomorrow (prob another dumb refurb) and Ill let you all know if the issue is resolved. My first GSIII (the brand new one I purchased when they came out) had no issues like this at all. Hopefully they replacement will shed light.
No one can hear me when I use it (8 of 10 times). I also never hear a ring. People are just on the line all the sudden. Sooooo frustrating.
Does everyone have this problem? If not maybe it's a router setting? Would be interesting to know.

I've had this. I was calling someone on Verizon and after some silence they picked up. Also if I call my phone from my Comcast landline there's no indication it's going through on the landline but my phone rings. I think these issues have been around awhile and tmo hasn't done anything. I wonder how we can get them to actually look into it...
Flood the support forums maybe?

Yeah I think we need to bring this to t-mobile attention because most of all that i've read on here, i'm experiencing the same. I've tried different router settings as well but, nothing has worked.

I love this thing!
I've been troubleshooting as well. Looking into my router settings, I had my channel set to 11. I changed it to 1 and so far so good. I'll update as I go.
I'm just sayin!
First of all, I apologize if my English sucks, I've only studied it and never really spoken and to tell the truth I studied almost only English literature, so my vocabulary is a bit limited to that field and it's hard to use thiings like Shakespearian sonnets or Spencerian stanzas in everyday conversaton...
OK, let's go to the probIem... noticed the wi-fi signal on my international Optimus G (e975) is by far lower than any ther phone I tried before.
When I am in the same room of my wireless router, just 5-8 metres far from it, the phone already detects only 3 bars of of 4!
When I'm in my room, which is not where my router is, it detects 1 or 2 bars and it diconnects from wifi after 10-20 seconds. If I force it to reconnect, the connection is not bad for those few seconds till it stays connected, but it only lasts a few seconds and the LGOG decides to disconnects. I treid all of the wi-fi settings and a lot of apps to fix this issue, nothing happes.
I've never had such a horrible wi-fi radio in any wireless device, I tried with a lot of android, windows phone, windows mobile, iOS, windows 7-8 devices and all of them can keep connected in my room, most of them even in the flat behind mine, 1 floor lower, and absolutely no one had wifi issues so close to the router.
Any advice to have a more stabe wifi connection?
PS: I bought it a week ago at Amazon.it, I have 10 working days to return it and if I cannot figure it out, I think I will.
PPS: The 3g connection seems to be weaker than usual, too. but it doesn't seems that weak.
thank you.
Edit: I forgot to say, I had a Droid Razr before, it suffered from "hand effect", the signal dropped when the antenna zone was held, like the iPhone 4. well, in spite of that proble, even when the signal dropped, and belive me, if I took it the wrong wat it dropped a lot, the signal was way stabler and stronger than the optimus G placed on a desk.
Only have issues when I'm on YouTube it often mentions I lost signal... really weird and frustrating. sorry i can't help you. perhaps you have a broken phone.

No, I found the problem, it's a software bug, whn the wifi signal is low (1 or 2 bars) and the 3g/4g is on it auomaticcally switch the wifi off, so if I want to use it I have to switch the 3g-4g off. It's a very annoying bug, I hope they will fix it.
I have a rooted T-Mobile Note 3 running a stock rom and Kernel. I also travel a ton for work. I love this phone, but I am so freaking sick of dumping it into airplane mode and back to get a signal every 45 minutes. It seems like if I travel a few blocks, it still says I get 4G LTE with 3-4 bars, but nothing will load. Literally, nothing. Not until I dump it into airplane mode (which takes 30 seconds in this condition), will it actually let me use data again for another 20 minutes.
I can tell that it's bungled the handoff between one tower to another. When this is NOT an issue, trying to put it in airplane mode is almost instantaneous. When it IS an issue, airplane mode takes 30 seconds to fully drop everything.
From what I understand, this is fairly common to Samsung phones. I have owned the Note 3, Note 2 and Galaxy nexus, but never before did I travel this frequently for my job. Now that I'm traveling and having to rely on this hunk of ****, I'm going to be dumping it as fast as I can.
I also have an iPhone 5S for work, which I hate in every way imaginable except one, and that is that it actually does its job and hands off from tower to tower correctly without requiring reboots or disabling the network.
Hopefully the LG G3 is an improvement, because this is ****ing maddening.

Some seem to be afflicted with this. My wife included. The ne6 update helped her out quite a bit.
I have the same problem. I hate it. I do the same as you, turn airplane mode on and off. I'm on stock and not updated any software since I got the phone because ironically I heard this was a problem when updated. I might just do all the updates and see what happens.
