Australian Galaxy nexus bad signal and drop outs

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.

when i click the AUS2 Band and it came up with "Set [AUS2 Band] Unsuccessful is there an issue wioth my device? :S

also, i acccidently changed the network prefered type, what should it be?

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.

ive had probles flashing the DVKK6 Baseband, it came up with "cannot load (radiio name in this case the DVKK6.img) is there something wrong with it? :S

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.

Juzz!!! I flashed the new basebands but i cant send text messages!! But i can make calls whats wrong? ):

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

LTE mode on an LT28i won't enable

I have a stock/generic LT28i from Asia. Totally unlocked and all. I'm in the US off and on, so I got a post-paid AT&T plan with data. 3G works great on my HTC One X (European version, meaning no LTE). I popped the SIM in my LT28i and 3G works, but not LTE. If I try to change the network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, it instantly switches back to WCDMA/GSM. If I put my 3 Sweden SIM in the phone, I can set it to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and see [LTE] AT&T in the network search list. So it seems like there's some switch in the software that's forcing LTE off for my AT&T SIM. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? I was having issues with my phone bootlooping so I did a full reflash of the generic 6.1.E.2.29.

Is that account setup for LTE with AT&T?

You may need an AT&T 4G LTE compatible SIM card. I had the iPhone 4 with the mini sim and when I got my Xperia ion they told me I needed a new LTE SIM despite the fact that my then current SIM would have fit the in the ion (and they look the same, except my old SIM had the 3G logo on it).
Maybe you current sim is att 3G.

Same thing happened to me a few times. Kept switching to wcdma preferred. Try clearing cache, dalvik and reboot. Eventually I did get it to stick. Also when this happened to me Rogers network was having an lte outage, so that might have had something to do with it. But persistence did pay off in the end.
And yes you obviously do need an lte sim and the lte apn's for whatever network you're on.

Is your APN set correctly?

Ah sorry, I actually gave up and put the SIM in my One X (HSPA-only version) instead. 3G was good enough for my needs. Maybe on my next trip to America I'll put more effort into it.

having the same issue
I'm having the same issue, built I'm on net10, which is supposed to support lte speeds, but i don't get higher than 3g for their att compatible service.
Also, unable to root after phone overheated and did original gb att to gb lt28i, to ics.. the rootme or e4root neither one would work. I've got backups, but they're under titanium backup and cwm, of which neither can i access without root. Is there an .ftf firmware prerooted on ics that doesn't require anything but flashtool to install and add cwm, since I'm sure I'm not the only person with such an issue. If I've overlooked it, direct me to the page where it is, all I've found so far is stock roms, and deodexed, which i can't use.. Also, my boot loader is locked.. I've checked all threads about root and ion, and noon have been helpful with my recent issues..any downloads needed to rectify this and not the usual I've already done that loop back to the same popular pages would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: sorry, i didn't see how old this thread was...and to the above, i'm not sure if what it wrote applies to your network...but most likely you need to look into APN settings required by your carrier...

[FTF] Xperia ZL (C6506) 1270-4005 10.4.B.0.569 Generic North America

Here's Generic 4.3 for North America... C6506_1270-4005-10.4.B.0.569 R1C_LTE North America Commercial and Journalists.ftf

sweet, has it been tested on a C6506 ?

That's Commercial and Journalists, right? Cause Generic would be 1270-7584 (which doesn't have the update still, just checked) and this one is 1270-4005.
But, eventually, who cares. I was pretty sure we won't get update on Holidays, either before or after.
Merry Christmas!

lol, yeah, learned about APN last time when I flashed generic 244 lol.... I decided to install it, so far so good. first thing I did was input the APN settings for Rogers lol... automatic download settings never seem to work for some odd reason
- Most noticeable, Camera App is much better....
- Keyboard is faster
- Phone is running hot again though..... With 4.2.2 it stopped getting hot the last month or so, ZERO Changes to the phone,maybe it will go away again, who knows... strange none the less.... maybe its a learning process with the OS...no idea lol

I flashed it & lost LTE. The APN is still the same, I'm with Rogers. Any idea what might of happened or how to fix it?

Why are you flashing the 4.2.2 baseband? This 4.3 firmware contains the AMERICAS-LTE baseband, so it has the baseband for AT&T LTE or whichever 4G operator you are on in North America.

Because the 4.2.2 baseband was the last one that worked. When the 4.3 first leaked with the C6503 journalist FW, I flashed that & that's when I lost 4G but still maintained EDGE 3G & LTE. So I flash this new C6505 FW & I can still only connect with those bands. I'm with Rogers & I have all the correct APN settings, I'm so confused with what's going on, because I know this should be working & I have no idea why it isn't.
My baseband right now is 9x15A-ACEFWMAZQ-3011082-51

The c6503 baseband was GLOBAL_HSPA, so if course it wasn't going to give you the AMERICAS LTE frequencies. The existing 4.3 c6506 firmware has the same baseband frequencies as the c6506 4.2.2 - go to the service setting and see for yourself, both say AMERICAS LTE.
Not sure why you would be seeing a difference as all c6506 releases are in fact built with the North America LTE bands.

LTE off you wont get HSPA + on all the time, only when LTE is off and your using data HSPA + will show up.... That's how its always been for me on Rogers which is a good thing.

For what it's worth, I'm getting LTE connections on my C6506...

OK so the truth is that, I really like interactions and interface of the new 4.3 on the ZL but its seems to have much bugs than 4.2.2 versión 244, the phone freezes some times when browsing the web with chrome, and the camera quality is not sooo good. I like how smooth it is, but my phone freezes 2 times and I had to press the yellow one......battery performance seems to be much better when using stamina, but Im back to 4.2 MUCH MUCH stable, no bugs for me, no freezes, and camera prformance seems to be much better. I think il w8 for the 4.4

have you tried the settings here?
Settings/More networks/mobile networks
Your Network mode should show LTE,WCDMA (auto connect)
if not, tap on the network mode and select the LTE/WCDMA (auto connect) option and back all the way out.
Turn on airplane mode for about 30 seconds and then turn it back off and see what your results are.
You need to be SURE that LTE reception is possible where you are trying this. After all, no matter how good your hearing is, you won't hear me talking if you're out of earshot, right? LOL
Good luck!

Yeah I've tried it and for some reason I don't have this option but your right about checking if the lte is available before doing anything

Thats strange, this issue has been encountered with rooted phones running stock/custom roms while running some mods.
You may have to do a factory reset, or stop by a TMOBILE store and let them check it out.

Could be that it doesn't support LTE from your carrier.. I think it may be capable to support LTE but its disabled on that model.. I've seen people flash M919 modems and gotten LTE to work. Just make sure you do some research, and more research if you device to do this

I've been rooting my phone as if it was a normal t-mobile m919 but I tried searching for into to see it there was a way to simply make my V (m919V) disappear and solve all my problems but nothing yet I know you can but as far as warranty, brick and risks go I have not found much information regarding this issue and that why I started this post
I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions

OK I've done some research and it seem that the m919v has the lte hardware to run the frequency 700
( http://www.morecellphone.com/compar...vs-samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-64gb/340724)
And that virgin mobile (bell's network)
(bell is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in canada)
has this frequency on their network
(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks)

The only thing is that the lte frequency off 700 was lunched in Ontario last month and I'm in Montreal
But the fact that t-mobile only has 1700 and that virgin uses this here means that the phone isn't the problem and with this information, i've concluded that it a software issue

Did it ever work properly on that carrier. If so, when did this start, and did you do anything to the device (flashing, modding, etc) just before it started?

HI Doc thanks for respond, I bought this phone used and phone have version 4.3 with PhilipTouch Recovery but system not have root or SuperSU then I flash stock recovery to use the update.cfg rename it to.zip and now are 4.4.2 stock rom official but in 4.3 same issue with network, I copy from my fathers phone att s3 NVfiles with QPST and I flashed to mine and put again my imei but nothing, what do you really think what happened in you're experience?

Im not really sure, but since you bought it used you should check to make sure the imei isnt blacklisted.
Does your fathers S3 work on the same network? Try swapping SIM cards. Test your card in his device and your device with his card.

My fathers phone is from ATT network, but I put my imei from my broken phone Galaxy s3 and is not black listed and is from Claro PR Network but let me see if my father give me again his phone because he don't want any body touch it and i dont know if is unlocked, I had to beg, and it was a miracle that gave me the phone to extract from his phone the nvfiles last time, you know if I can try something else DocHoliday??? Thanks.:good:

If you changed the original IMEI that's exactly why you are experiencing problems.
Anything but the original one assigned to the device will most likely cause problems. Even if its from another device that's the same model.
