some people say drop data problem on Galaxy Nexus, it is related to radio/baseband issue, a lot of people recommend the following components
Radio/Baseband：
cwm-radio-i9250-xxla2 (latest radio from Google)
Kernel：
franco.Kernel-r158 (best kernel on market)
ROM：
aokp_maguro_build-35 (latest aokp rom)
Just go back to 4.0.2

I have the above combination and it's worse. The radios in my device are going nuts.
How can it be so bad?
I'm like going crazy!!!
Its the worst phone ever !!!!!!!!!!

Was at the Verizon store today and there floor model had no drop issues. Tried mine right next to it and it started to randomly drop. They are sending me a new one and are saying it will be here tomorrow hopefully I don't have the issue after the new one. The tech has a nexus and said he has no issues with his.

i had the same problem, it would drop data even though it showed i had strong signal until i set the min cpu to 700mhz. after i did that i never had any data drop problems
hope that helps
Came here to ask about this. Was wondering why it keeps happening. Was working fine when I was on stock 4.0.4 but since flashing aokp it happens all the time.

I had these issues with aokp and Franco kernel m3. Switched to revolution hd and James Bond kernel. Haven't had a single drop since.

I'm completely stock IMM76I, rooted and I sometimes get data drops.. this happens more frequently when I haven't rebooted my phone for several days. Sometimes the signal letter (H) disappears completely until I turn airplane mode on/off. Other times I see H but there is no data, only a reboot fixes it.
I'm using Tasker to auto-reboot the phone every day at 5AM, but this is gettig really annoying. I wasn't having any issues prior to that IMM76I OTA.

Noticed this was happening only when I was commuting on the highway, my phone loses data connectivity (albeit still showing 'H') and never gets it back until I reboot.
I'll try the set 700MHZ method and report back. But will increasing the min CPU from 350 to 700 hurt battery life a lot?

I'm really hopping they fix this in the next update, it totally ruins the experience of using the phone. You don't know what you'll get half the time.

Based on my exp, you don't lose much battery life. I accidentally left the CPU at minimum 691 MHz and got similar battery life with 307 MHz as my minimum.

If you don't have PRIMELA03* bootloader and I9250XXLA02 radio on ICS 4.0.4 you are going to have these issues. Google even said so!!! ref. http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html dont blame google or samsung this phone is rock solid when used properly

I just noticed I'm on the 4.0.1 bootloader. I'll flash the 4.0.4 one when I get home to see if I can finally get rid of this issue.
I tried flashing radios and RILs and it really hasn't helped...
I had similar issues though mine were mostly when leaving a wifi area my phone would not grab my cell data until I toggled airplane mode on then back off. Later I found out about GetRIL and discovered that most ROMs (due to being based on 4.0.4) have the XXLA02 RIL (Radio Interface Layer) while I was running the UGLC1 radio. GetRIL checks for you and allows you to flash the proper RIL (if rooted with busybox). I flashed the matching UGLC1 RIL and havent had a drop since

u say always the same response to everywhere...but its wrong (PRIMEKL03 doesn't exists..did u noticed?)
the suggested bootloader is the PRIMELA03..that page have just a typo (i asked to jbq and he confirmed the typo, he will update in future that page)
and EVERYONE have the correct PRIMELA03 bootloader
the signal issue is related to some bugs in the 4.0.4 roms
it happens randomly for some people in some network conditions..is like the phone is not able to get the data network...no way to solve this until a next update from google
the people that said "i solved by changing radio/rom/etc", just didnt test long enough to get the same problem again
if u (and of course lot of other people) don't have any network problem, then u are lucky living in a place where the network and ur operator are perfect...end of story
i'm not pessimistic, this phone is perfect, but will be really perfect when they will fix this...i had other android phones before this, and none had this problems...i know everything about radios, apn, networks..but there is nothing i can do to make it working fine ALWAYS..sometimes the mobile network works, sometime there is no way, even after a reboot, only moving temporarly to a different area solve the problem sometimes, even if signal was full bar

As per my previous post I didnt change my Radio but rather matched my Radio to my RIL (Radio Interface Layer). My phone hasnt dropped data in the longest time since I've owned it and shows no signs of ever dropping it (unless of course I lose signal ).

This question has been asked way too many times. I say the same response because it helps people solve this problem. The bootloader and radio configuration needs to be correct at least as a starting point and first step in trouble shooting. you assume everyone has the correct bootloader and radio, now that is just presumptuous. I'm so happy that you know "everything" about radios bootloaders and apns that is righteous! your post was very helpful, a great help thanks so much.

This is actually not true. I was on 4.0.4 but had the 4.0.1 bootloader somehow.
I haven't had a single data drop since flashing the new bootloader with XXLA02. The real test will be tomorrow, when I take my phone into work (big metal building). If I get no data drops at all tomorrow, problem fixed.
I have been having random data "stoppage" on my GSM G-Nex since it first came out.
Data will suddenly stop. I can tell when all the bars turn grey and the "+" sign goes away or when I am listening to Pandora or XM/Sirius and it suddenly stops. This is in areas with solid 100% full signal coverage. It happens usually once a day at minimum and at random times.
I have tried numerous ICS roms & radios with the same results. Problem is, I usually don't notice it until long periods go between getting emails or someone asks me "did you get my email?". I check the phone and data is gone.
I have to reboot to get it back.
I know this issue has been around since the beginning of the G-Nex but I am wondering if there has been any actual fix for it either by a hack or from Samsung. It's really annoying. Has JB fixed it 100% or is it a hardware issue?
Search for an app called restart connections. That might be a simpler, if not very elegant, solution. You could schedule it to run every 30min.

That's good news. I've had a couple JB ROMs (including stock) but there are 2 apps that don't work properly for me that I need. Hopefully that will be fixed soon and I will give JB a shot again. Frankly, I really didn't see too much in JB that made me want it "now" so I am in no rush to upgrade again until my apps are fixed.
Hmm, never had data drops, from 4.0.2 all the way to 4.1.1.
I actually have this problem every now and then. Hate it because sometimes it's when I need the Internet. Gonna give 4.1 a shot since aokp just came out with m1. Hopefully this helps.
Hey. I flashed task's AOKP 8/26 rom and started experiencing strange loading times when on the internet. I just flashed Paranoid Android's rom today and I'm having the same result. SpeedTest app says I only have 40-100ms ping, but takes 5 minutes for it to actually find that data.
It says on the top that I am in '4G'
I don't think it's a throttling issue, I get 20 Mb/s down after speed test finishes
My ping is 95ms, but it takes about 4 or 5 minutes to finish the ping process
I am on the LTE settings that came with my ROM and they are the same as task's as well.
Upload speed is around .84, 4.0, 3.0 MB/s respectively
All Web-browsing, SpeedTest app, Google Music, and Play Store take forever to initially load
Any ideas on what it could be or what I could try? I have tried flashing the latest modem, same result as I had on task's and Paranoid's rom.
I was just about to post a thread on this same issue. Its driving me nuts!
I fist noticed the issue when I flashed from CM9 to CM10. Today I tried task's jb aokp ROM. Same issue. So I flashed cm9, it didn't get any better. Next I'm gonna try Odin back to stock. What's really odd to me is WiFi is unaffected. Only when on 3g/4g.
I've checked my imei, and its still correct. I've tried all 3 available modems.
I'm not to sure what else to try. Hopefully we can come up with a solution.

Have you all with these issues posted these with the ROMS thread and brainstorm with other users of the ROM? You could try that. I personally heard great things about Task's ROMS and paranoids. To make sure, have you all tried wiping EVERYTHING in recovery and i mean wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, before flashing the ROM? You all might have to do that and then report back.
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
wow, wasn't expecting people with the same issue lol. I checked my Data usage also. Only at 4.1 out of 5 Gigs.
And yes Bruce, thanks for the suggestion. I wipe everything possible before every flash and always have. To the point where I even wipe things twice without realizing. (Cache, Dalvik, storage, system, cache, etc etc, even the eemc).
Tried basic apn settings as well as the 'phone' hdspa+ settings. same issue. reflashed over and over again, problem persists.
AT&T is beginning to work on a major LTE rollout from what I understand. I suspect this is a side effect of preparation. It would be interesting to see what going back to stock does.

That's what I thought too but flashing back to stock with Odin seemed to fix it. Problem started after installing 9-02 cm10.
how are you guys doing on this issue?
i flashed back to stock as well and my problems were fixed.
...really want a modded rom though. think it's a cm10 issue?
Same here. Flashed back yo stock because my h+ was behaving like 2g...seems to have helped quite a bit.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I see similar behavior while stock, have managed to not root and flash yet. Although, in my case it isn't actually 5 minutes, but there's definitely latency, it just doesn't normally show up in the ping time.
A friend with his also at stock (never rooted nor flashed) mentioned he was seeing this as well...
I too have been getting problems. I thought initially that it was due to Task's ROM, but then i went back to CM10. And im still getting these issues. My girlfriend is running AOKP on her SG3 on Tmobile, and she's not getting data issues. Im thinking its a problem with AT&T.
I was about to go back to stock and see how that goes. But since 78c10 says he sees no improvement, then....idk wats going on. =(
stock not rooted. same here.. takes forever for things to load. the connection seems to stall for a bit then kick back in.. has to be something with att not the phone or roms etc..
Having the same issue. Just got done wiping everything and formatting my SD. Still VERY slow. Was going to try stock next.
On task's AOKP.

Everyone here should post their issues and location because they've been rolling out LTE here in Philadelphia & it caused a lot of the same issues for me & others. It may be completely unrelated but it's a strange coincidence considering how much work they're doing on LTE right now.
Sent from my SGS3 using Apple's patents
It seems to be hit and miss here I just keep rebooting and then I'll get lucky one time and it will have a snappy data connection lol and its universal so I think its an ATT thing. I have been back and forth between stock, ktoonsez, and cm10 today and it isn't bias. I am in fort Irwin, CA right now and am straddling H and H+ but with solid bars... and sometimes I can't even load xda it will take like 5 minutes but what in really find strange is that I can stream Netflix...

A few of us in the Houston area are reporting data connection problems (reported in AOKP thread). Someone stated that Houston has been having problems with their LTE network... This would make sense, as i was at a friends house in the heights on Sunday, and we had full bars LTE and neither of us could connect or stream anything data wise. Now, while I'm on latest AOKP, he has a skyrocket, and is running stock ICS... So it has to be the network.
I live in the Woodlands, and ive been having the same issues up here too (just speed tested, & topped out at 9 mb/s - i remember getting upwards of 40 mb/s when I first got this phone). Really starting to piss me off.
Anyone in the Houston area herd anything from AT&T yet?

Hmm...tats weird. I wonder if this is really the problem. Has anyone tried this approach?
OK... get ready for this doozy.
Any TW ROMs, just fine on 4G, and I mean JUST fine on 4G (MC2 Radio). 4mbps and up (I've had 21 down and 7-12 up at one point in certain areas).
I noticed that 10.1 ROMs started giving me issues with LTE about a week and a half ago when I swapped out to a S4 (just for giggles, it was so painful... I'd rather let you guys kick me in the nuts for 2 straight hours than have to deal with that phone again). That phone was giving me 4G issues on 10.1/2 CM ROMs (100 kbps downs and 5000 ups) but again working well with TW.
At any rate, 3 days later I went back the the Note 2 and I was still having issues with LTE... clean wiped. I tried Rootbox, PA, CM 10.1, etc... LTE was again in the double digits with down and in the thousands with up.
Like I mentioned before, TW roms are just fine... solid numbers in both directions. I have assumed this is my issue, I am not registered on the Sprint Network for data when I am flashing a AOSP ROM. I have my profile updated along with my PRL while on TW (which shouldn't be much of an issue any ways). How can I get this to work without Dialer Codes working? I hate TW with my soul... literally hate. I don't think I've ever hated anything more... maybe fish sticks and butterflies but, it's a close third.
TIA!

So, youre not getting booted to a 2XXX prl when you flash to asop? A week ago that happend to me, i had a 2XXX prl and i had to go back to TW to change it, and that fixed my problem, im sitting inside a building as we speak running slimrom getting 12000Kbit down and 4200 Kbit up.

If I am understanding you correctly:
1) Flash TW (any ROM?)
2) Update PRL / Profile
3) Flash AOSP
3) Check PRL for it to not be 2xxx
4) Profit
I have tried this, but maybe I'll have to manually force a PRL while in AOSP...
Edit: Currently with my TW Rom, I am on PRL 2000 and getting decent LTE speeds (nothing in the 10mb range however).
Which PRL are you currently running with AOSP, because I now have 2000 with PA and sure enough, back to crap. I'll have to force a PRL in AOSP. Not the first time, maybe I'll use a special roaming one
EDIT: yeah, I'm going to go 56XXX but at anyrate, I'll report back once it gets fixed.
What is odd is this... 2000 will work LTE speeds with TW but not AOSP even though it is considered an Emergency PRL (or listed as such). Further more, it seems like service reps know nothing about it (upon further reading).
I appreciate your help but I will let people know since that isn't a common thing around these parts here...

Yep, my next step was a clean install and a restore of apps (not really necessary because that's how I roll) via TB.
I have yet to find an AOSP ROM that I am truly in love with, although Rootbox came damn near close. It's just that Rick is pulled in so many directions that it's hard for him to keep up with that.

Man with those 4.3 directions... Blink and you're dead... no wait, that's not right. Just odd, def not the same as other 4.3 builds.
As far as PRL... we... have...LIFTOFF!
I appreciate you helping me out.
So folks, to recap:
1) You should back up your AOSP with a Nandroid (this might not work later as previously stated in this thread).
2) Flash a TW Rom (I usually use the smallest one I can find, Pinky's is decent)
3) "Flash" whichever new PRL you want, not an update, you'll probably keep getting 2XXX, there is a thread in the GS3 forums on how to do that all.
5) Restore your nandroid (this is where it didn't work for me, so I had to basically start from scratch, real men do anyway).
6) Check to see if your PRL stuck!!! It might take a few go arounds.
7) Profit!
8) Did you notice step four was missing? Damn, I wonder if it was important...
Cheers to jd14771, Thanks again!
Sadly, this didn't remedy my issue. I wasn't able to test LTE right away due to my location and when I finally did... Blah. Same results... TW ROMs are on the money and AOSP are rubbish, regardless of PRL. 2000 TW runs with great speeds, so I'll gladly take any other suggestions.
I thought for sure that was the issue when I saw the SG3 PRL thread description too.

I have noticed it as well. When I was using TW, 4g speeds were really good. I reached 20mbps at times. With cm10.1, on 4G, I get around 4-5mbps.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem. I don't want to permanently go back to TW ever .
Also just wanted to add... The speeds have nothing to do with the prl...I'm using 56015.

You're getting 4-5mbps, I'm getting double digit kpbs... something is way wrong with mine.
Further oddity, XenonHD (AOSP based), works great (well better, I'll d field test on the way to work... however, last night I was getting 10mbps out front of my house).

My old 4.2.2 JBSourcery gets signal just fine. And for some reason Omni gets better than the others but still cuts out.

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?

I've got about 7 different Nandroids and have been switching between them to test. CM Remix which I believe is based on Slim seems to be working OK. I tried Slim this morning but still got a lot of data cut-outs

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)

I don't think that applies to CDMA
