anybody can help me finding a solution ? cause if there is no solutions i can return it tomorrow for full refund (and i love this phone)

Hi there,
I suppose the iPhone just has a better signal.
I tried 5 different radios and 3 ROMs, but I can't get ANY signal in my flat.
Signal is bad where I live, but with the iPhone I had at least 1 bar at several spots and 2-3 at my window...
with the Galaxy Nexus I can't get any signal anywhere.
If anyone has a solution tho, I would love to know ... I can't even write a SMS
Edit: To make it strange, I have an AWESOME signal with the SGN at university tho, even better than with the iPhone... same provider, same contract, same number, just different phone

but the galaxy s2 is giving a full signal though
Well I don't have any other phone but iPhone 4 and GNex to test it out ... I just really hope it's a software related issue and not a hardware one... calling is not the problem, I have a normal phone ... but it is really annoying to not be able to send and receive SMS :/
Right now I'm just flashing every new radio that comes out and hope that issue will be resolved ... and I certainly hope someone will pop into this thread with a solution

about 200 views and no one seems to have this problem !
You could try to change the baseband - try xkk6, or ugkk7 (not sure about the exact names, but the names shouldn't be too off) go to settings > about phone, and post your baseband version here

i have kk6, i tried krkl1,ugla4,ugkl1,ugkk7,dvkk6 and xxkl1 ! nothing seems to work, i have only 2 bars then 1 bar then no signal ..
Your with 3 what did you expect? If you have picked up bars with a s2 on 3 aswell and the iPhone (dual antenna) and remember s2 has UMA . Give 3 a call and get them to run a diagnostic. Remember 3 don't have 2g and 3g has less penetration through buildings then 2g does .maybe a change in networks if your not in contract (hint hint nudge nudge giff gaff )

I'm with giffgaff and I'm having a very similar experience to the OP. In my flat the phone has a very weak signal strength and drops the network every once in a while during the evening which then seems to cause sms being sent to me not to arrive until I either send one myself or toggle airplane mode on and of - very annoying. If I use my old HTC Wildfire then I don't suffer this problem.
When I am in my office the phone is fine - the walls in my office are much thicker than the ones in my home and it's a much more built up area.

Are you getting a replacement GN or switching to a different phone? I'd be interested to hear if you have an improved experience with a replacement nexus.

i don't think getting another GN will solve the problem so am going to another phone, i don't know what to choose honestly, maybe iphone 4s/4 or htc device.

There is evidence of people having faulty hardware and getting a new GN resolved their issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387263&page=13
There are a few threads on here that have had a similar outcome.
A have noticed that my signal in my house is a bit hit and miss, don't know if its vodafones signal going down.
I wouldn't get the 4s, waste of time. Grab one of the new htcs possibly the one x .
Saying everything mobile networks never say they can provide signal in houses, only outdoors

Hey, the GPS works just fine for me, it's just the signal...
As said, tried about 5 different radios / basebands...
I don't have any signal loss once I get signal (outside my village that is), GPS works like a charm (I even get a bit of GPS in my flat! Didn't have that with my iPhone)
I tried about everything, to no avail...
Well, I don't want to go the way thegost4u goes... I love the GNex, it's the perfect phone for me ... if there wouldn't be the signal issue :/

NEVERMIND!
......I just figured it out
The problem is actually my cellphone CASE (leather and plastic)
It appears, that my signal here is THAT BAD, that I get absolutely no signal when I have it in the case, without the case and the KRKK7, I get 2 bars on my couch, which is equal / better than the iPhone....(usually had 1 bar there)
@OP: Do you use any case? If so, try taking it off!
Instant fix for me...I can't believe I havn't thought about that earlier...*facepalms*
---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------
Next Edit:
With the UGLA4 I get 3(!!) signal bars... I NEVER had that much with any phone!
This is incredible, this case killed ANY signal for me....
The signal bars don't meant jack ****. Really, they don't mean anything. You can't compare them except to the exact same phone running the exact same OS with the exact same version.
For an accurate measurement of signal strength go to Settings -> About -> Status and see the signal strength there measured in dBm. The higher the number the better (negative and logarithmic, so -100 is worse than -70 - several orders of a magnitude worse). This way you can check the actual signal strength.
Done that to test it, actually my bars are pretty accurate
With case I'm stuck at -111 ... no signal at all
KRKK7 gave me about -103 on my table, UGLA4 gives me -101
I just did a phone call while sitting on my couch, I'm so excited xD
3 UK isn't best known for there service (there ranked last) case in point my GN on giffgaff (o2 signal) gets a higher download speed than the wifi in my halls (unlimited bandwidth ftw). But my flat mates iPhone 4 drops signal constantly in fact the is a dead spot in her room.
Nothing wrong with the GSM radio for me. LTE had more issues from what I've read
The GSM Galaxy Nexus seems to have pretty much the same reception as my Nexus One for me based on what I remember.
If you still have issues you might want to try the radios for different regions and the ones for Asian versions of the phone that has a different model number.
I just moved from Verizon to Tmo with a new job. At home, coverage was spotty. Unlike verizon, Tmo has no femtocell. Picked up a CelFi on ebay for under $200.
In short, the CelFi works well and I now have a good signal at home. The CelFi is basically the same as the Wilson or zboost signal boosters, except that the link between the antenna and base station is wireless, 5 GHz, instead of 50ft of coax cable. I don't think there's a reason to pay up for the CelFi if you can hide the coax, but in my case there wasn't a good way to run it.
In my experience, femtocell > booster, and booster = CelFi unless you don't have a good way to run coax. Hope his helps a Tmo user.
I have one of those and it work's great!!!

It does work well, but frankly the fact that Tmo doesn't have a femtocell that connects to broadband is a big disappointment. I suspect they bet on wifi calling instead, which has had mixed reviews by some. I'm on Net10, which is tracfone/same as walmart Straight Talk, and it appears wifi calling is for direct tmo customers only. Fortunately I found the CelFi.
Do any of you guys using Cel-Fi have the units disconnecting every few minutes? Mine works well for a few minutes, then they disconnect (status light flashes green on both units for about 15 seconds) and then they reconnect again for a few minutes. I've tried shutting off all wireless devices in my house thinking it is experiencing interference but it still keeps happening. The window unit has a solid 2-3 bars all the time and the coverage unit has an 8 or 9 when connected. I'm wondering if my system is defective?

I have an Iphone 4 GSM(AT&T) with Straight Talk..I did not see my Cell provider on the CelFi list..
Will the CelFi still work with my phone?
I have one of the T-mo linksys (older) [email protected] routers, which has 2 sim slots. for home phone lines if necessary. Which is basically VoIP and works good.

I have a s2 from tmobile on straight talk and can say that the WiFi calling option does not function. Says unsupported sim. Called ST and they said it won't work
T-Mobile gives you a CelFi unit for free if your a customer and have truly poor service indoors. I've had my unit for 2+ years (I beta tested for TMO) and it works really well. Without the unit I have at most 1 bar of 4G. With the unit I have 3-4 bars of 4G and decent speeds. Also by default this works on those people using Simple Mobile (TMOs MVNO).
Can't complain although im moving to Silver Spring, MD this week from Miami, FL and the coverage in my new place is even worse than in Miami.
Wifi Calling and CelFi to the rescue!!!
How does that happen??? Post some pictures I use to live there.

Appreciate you mentioning T-Mo Signal Booster does 4G (Data and Voice).
( Unit linked to by T-Mo if you don't qualify links to http://cel-fi.com/ , it only talks about 3G)
My situation is Outside get decent signal, inside due to house having old plaster walls, with a extra layer of drywall over them, PLUS Aluminum siding on outside of house signal is pretty iffy.
Hoping T-Mo Signal Booster on it's way to me will help.
Open Signal Maps v?
Inside 4G?
-109dBm, 3asu
Fluctuates between t-MO'S 4G
UMTS =
EDGE = -91dBm , 11asu
Outside:
-99dBm, 10asu or better. (Varies)
2-3bars average - via 4.04 Android signal indicator. (T-Mo plat maps show me in green area, very close to dark green (BEST?) IIRC.

Guess I'll respond to my own post.
Cell-Fi T-Mo branded signal booster definitely improved the signal and increased standby/talk/data standby use time.
Called T-Mo Feb 4th 2013 or so to obtain one for a family member..
T-Mo says they are out of stock until JUNE 2013.
They said there is no way to pre-order.
No way to reserve.
No way to pre-pay
No way to place a order, then have unit shipped out, billed
Only way to get one shipped is to call back, hoping you call when they have items in stock.
Way to run a business T-Mo.
(If I was running things I'd what to know how many units to order. How the heck do you get a handle on projected sales /persons interested in your product if you don't take orders?)
I guess that is why they don't have any in stock, eh?
T-Mo management session:
Q: How many Cell-Fi boosters do we need to ORDER?
A: Just a few, no one calling in has placed a "order".

I will say my unit is a little wonky (my second one) and sometimes drops my bars from 5 to none. This is probably due to the window unit only having one or two bars at best. I'm in a true dead zone here in 20901 :/
Can anyone with a IR Thermometer, or via finger method check TEMP of second unit?
To all T-Mobile branded Cel-Fi Signal Booster units:
Unit is comprised of a receiver /transmitter which is positioned near a window /area of greatest signal signal. A secondary unit is positioned away from this unit to create a "signal bubble".. within that bubble signal being boosted.
(Second unit is all black- Curved on top - approx 10x6 x 4 inches tall.)
My secondary unit runs very HOT - when it is positioned flat (As it is supposed to be.)
I'd estimate bottom plate of unit to be 120-130 degrees.
I say "estimate" as currently I have second unit *tilted at 45 degrees.
Tilted via a IR thermometer @Ambient temp 72, unit runs at 100, signal showing as "8".
*Tilting the unit- back section raised at 45 degree angle brings temps down. Before it was pretty toasty (HOT!).
Q: Can anyone with a IR Thermometer, or via the finger method check your second unit to see how HOT it's running?
Before tilting the unit- which really shouldn't be necessary bottom plate /side of unit was HOT enough to "burn" /feel as though it won't last long!
PS: This is with unit idle.
I went to my local T-Mobile store and they had two in the back. He gladly issued me one. Simple. No waiting.

never seen on this U.U
Cel-Fi Cell Phone Signal Booster
Readers,
(full disclosure, I work for Cel-Fi).
We updated cel-fi pages, a lot of your questions are now answered on the site. The new RS2 unit is now dual band (2 and 4) and boost all frequencies of 4G (HSPA+) of T-Mobile, especially the ones that the T-Mobile iPhones (all versions) are now using.
Feel free to ask any questions here or on the site. Thanks for all your comments - it always inspires us to see your feedbacks.

Does anyone have reception problems? I had a s5 and it works fine but now my s6 drops calls very often.
A lot of my calls gets dropped after 5 mins.
Is anyone else is having similar issues?
Please help.
I dont drop calls or miss texts but Ive noticed that compared to my S5, signal is terrible. I think all US version owners are having this issue, not just Sprint.
Since I got my s6 my phone has never had over one signal bar

I must say I've had the opposite experience. I'm in the Northern Virginia area and was worried that coming from Verizon, the reception would suck.
The bars show that I have less reception but so far I've been able to stream the same amount of content as on Verizon and as for cellular reception, even though the bars suggest different I can now receive texts in my office while on Verizon I could not.
I have also not seen more than 1 bar of reception since I got my phone a few days ago. Status says -102db but I don't know where that is in terms of signal strength. Speed tests have been anywhere from 2Mbps to 20Mbps.
I found the problem guys trust me it's the LTE go in mobile settings and just turn on CDMA bet it's fixed but the problem is no 4g than can anyone help??
Signal strength is horrid with the S6 and S6 Edge. My Note 3, my wife's S4, and my sons M7 all have great signal at my house. My S6 Edge and my wife's S6 can't make calls, send texts, or receive texts at the house. What are the odds that my wife and I both got bad handsets? This is just ridiculous.

My husband and I are having tons of issues with this too. S4s worked great, S6 barely has connectivity in places that the S4 worked great. It's frustrating, and I'm considering switching to a new phone while I can so I don't have to deal with this.
I'm having bad reception as well

I hope thats true. I had an LG Optimus G and it was full bars at my apartment. The S6 is ZERO. What makes me annoyed is that, okay I use wifi calling at home, but when I'm out and about in NY the phone desperately looks for signal and drains the battery like hell.

I've been a sprint customer for 15 years and this is the most pathetic rollout of a phone that I have witnessed. My S6 can't even keep a call connected on LTE, but cdma is fine. Returning the S6 and will go back to the S5 until the problem is fixed. I urge everyone within the 14 days to return your phone, we might never get a fix. Sprint is PATHETIC!

I feel the same but I'm past my 14 days so if they don't fix it I will take it to the FCC REMEMBER THAT GUYS
Same problem here in KC. LTE signal strength sucks... i can get good speeds even with 1 bar. But. Dont get more than 3 bars. .. switch to CDMA... instant all bars.
Been dealing with tmo tech support about a month and a half now and wanted to get other feedback.
Having a real problem with LTE dropping which causes other issues such as data slow, no sound (from me) on call and long time to dial (upwards of a minute). Tried all troubleshoot steps. Also tested on S6, Note5, and of course my S6 Edge+.
Narrowed problem to be different type towers that I'm in the middle of. Have 2 4G LTE towers within a couple of miles and 2 2g towers same distance (this is my work location). So problem seems to be that the phone is registering the 2g signal being the better one if I'm in one part of the building (single story restaurant) then I move to another part of the building the LTE signal becomes better. The phone constantly is front to switch back and forth.
Had a note3 at same location and never saw this problem.
Anyone else noticing this "signal fluxuation?"
Have you tried forcing LTE?

Thank you. That seemed to work. I'm now seeing it drop to one bar of 4G LTE whereas before it wild have switched on me. One bar of 4G LTE is still better than 5 bars of 2g.

Don’t rely too much on the signal bars as they are often misleading. Most OEM’s these days Fake Signal Bars by having a different Algorithm from Stock Android. You need to monitor the actual signal strength in dBm before you can jump on a conclusion. Check the actual signal strength on all these phones by going in to Settings >> About >> Network.

Exactly, most of the time in my area i get around 2 signal bars but the internet speed is really good. Dont really see the signal bars.
i have a problem. While using the phone on strong signal area it is fine but on low signal area the phone becomes horrible. No signal everytime and internet. But using the same sim on same place with oher phone is flawless. and the network couldnt switch from 2G to H or 4G. and stay only in 2G-E network. until have to restart the phone. how i can solve this???

Same problem I also feel, just buy A50 before 2 days and I realise network issues. Only 1 or 2 bars shows in low signal area and also not showing full bars in strong single area. Samsung cheated thousand of people. Same on samsung.
