It rarely happens. But when I'm in a big warehouse my phone get's 2G , while a t mobile note 3 sticks on LTE one bar. Sometimes my phones will get no signal while the note 3 is holding one bar on edge ?
Likely due to the aluminum construction of the phone. I get slightly lower signal than I did on my Note 3.

Weird I get much better signal with my m8 than what I ever did with my n5 but the n5 has a pretty crappy baseband

I am using 4.0.2 stock version and wifi signals are pretty weak. Is there any tweak or some settings i can flash to get better wifi reception . . .
I am having the same problem. Out of 5 phones in the hotel lobby (HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, Iphone 4 and Nokia N97) my Galaxy Nexus had the weakest signal, and sometime even lost the wlan.
I notice wifi signal drop when i cover the top part of my nexus with my hand
tested in speedtest, it also shows slightly lower signal bars, are you using a wireless N router?
Try flashing different basebands to see if signal improves. Also, I recommend franco's milestone 2 kernel since it has a setting to amplify your wi-fi signal (at the expense of lower battery life)
I don't have this problem in fact my wifi speeds are insane

The WLAN antenna is to the middle right of the phone when you look at the display in portait mode.
If I make sure that area is not covered by my hands the reception is quite ok with my Nexus.

I took an old router and made it a repeater bridge, problem solved.

I find the radio on the phone is quite weak to begin with. iPhone lasts much longer out of town where I live.
I have my macbook and PS3 upstairs and they both get full bars. My SIII barely gets 1 bar and disconnects sometimes. I have tried going into service mode (*#0011#) and doing that trick but that does nothing for my phone.
Any help??? Really disappointed about this. My Nokia N8 which was a horrible phone was getting full bars as well.
I am sort of in the same boat. My WiFi works great but my d3o case makes my signal weaker. If I am close to a router it's not an issue. Up stairs most of the time it's still functional.if need be I either take of case or use data

Hi,
I've had my GSM galaxy nexus for about a week now and have noticed that the signal strength will drop consistently when touching the back of the phone.
This is usually by one bar on the status bar meter. I've installed Wifi Analyzer and see that the signal will drop from around -55 dBm to -70 dBm when fully covering the back. The drop will be smaller with less of the back of the phone covered, but is still noticeable. The worst area for causing signal drop seems to be just below the camera lens.
Is this common to the galaxy nexus, or is there something unusual about this particular one?

I am not really seeing my signal fluctuate. I am using the GSM version.

Your just holding the phone wrong, try using a case.
Had this problem too, but it's not an issue to me.

I noticed some signal weakness (both wifi and calls) since i updated to jelly bean. I guess we'll have to wait for a better radio than XXLF1.

I notice this also. I have the GSM version. When I'm at work or home my wifi and cell signal will go away or say its looking for network when holding it at certain spots. Its really making me miss my sgs2 because my wifi and data would load faster with that then this.

Hmm, I don't see the word Apple anywhere on the phone..
Was having issues with XXLF1, ever since is swapped to UGLH1 reception for WiFi and 3G have been really good. I have some bad interferences at home (blame that on the carrier I'm not on) , but once outside it works great.
Do bear in mind radio has differences across devices, so what works force may not work for you.

Anyone else experiencing really poor wifi signal? I'm literally a couple feet away from the access point and my signal strength looks to be under 50%

My wife and I do not have that problem at all.

This happened with my note 1. Try pressing down on the antenna pad. If your signal gets better, you have a loose connection. Unfortunately you need to open the phone to fix it. The little springs that make contact are staying compressed and not bouncing up to make contact.
The Note 2 may use a similar design.
The note 1 has the wifi antenna as a sticker next to the sum card slot
I had same symptoms. More than a foot away, lose half signal. Leave the room, 1 bar. Other end of the house, nothing.
Even a range extender didn't help.
Bent the spring back up making good contact, full bars everywhere.

Reception is poor my Sony Z5P. O barely get one bar 4G, where as using the same sim on my Nexus 5 gives me a solid 3 bars 4G.
Is my Z5P faulty or it has bad reception due to the metal casing or the is it the 4G bands? I'm on three(UK) network and my phone is the E6853 model.
I am having the same issues I get all bars in the house however outside of the house down to one bar very bad not sure what the problem is.
