What does LOS look like?

I get terrible ****ing coverage at work, I mean I'm roaming half the time. Sometimes Ill have like 2-3 bars, ill look at my phone, and bam, 0 bars. Other times, Ill get notifications of Voicemail messages, but Ill never have received a call (which im guessing this means calls aint coming thru at times)
Is this the LOS issue? Or just really crappy signal? Is there a notification or something when the LOS issue comes up?

No...i think u jus have the weak signal issue...with los u have no bars....and theres a big white circle where your bars should...it sucks cuz some times u have to restart your phone to get it back...

I suppose it depends on where you are but for me that's what my LOS problem looked like, until I eventually had no signal at all (a white circle with a line through it) and no amount of reboots would bring it back. I bought 2 ET4G's and we have a small tower farm down the block where the big 4 and Clearwire all have a presence. I'd put both phones down on the table next to each other and my phone would roam over to Verizon and my wife's would show 5 bars on Sprint. I had to send my ET4G back and revert to my old HTC Hero and that has 5 bars at my house. I had high hopes for my Epic Touch 4G but it was not to be.

Its a circle with a line through it indicating no service
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

yeah then I dont htink I got LOS, i still miss calls because of this **** reception though.
Gonna set up an airrave at work soon.. hope that helps **** out

A bit offtopic but what browser is that?

Not caused by low battery. Did the MSL reset 4 days ago and haven't had LOS since.

If your device is getting bad reception...

You need to exchange it asap. It's as simple as that, you have a bad unit. A software patch or anything else isn't really going to help you. So save yourself some headache and just call up Verizon. Tests have been done (on working units) that show the nexus gets similar or even better connections compared to Verizon's other offerings.
I tested this myself vs my fiance's Droid 3. She showed more bars than I but I had a better download speed and slightly lower db. Both on 3G. To be more conclusive, she had four bars while I had NONE and similar db.
The only thing Verizon is going to do is make our bars show like the Droid 3 and other phones such as the RAZR. So exchange until you get a working unit, we really can't help you. That is all.

You just verified that Verizon is doing the right thing. It's not the bars that matter it's the db. If you are getting similar db then you are getting the same signal strength regardless of whether it shows 1 or 4 bars.

I think this is what I'm going to do. I only have until next Thursday to return the phone since I bought my Gnex from a non-corporate store so tomorrow I'm going to take my re-locked nexus back and exchange for another. If that one still sucks in the reception department, I guess I'm getting a Razr.

Added pictures of what a working device should be getting for more evidence that this isn't everyone's problem.

Already switched out my device once and it is having the exact same problem. So I have 2 brand new phones and the first one worked great for a couple days and then they had their nationwide outage. I kind of doubt Verizon will keep switching phones until they find a working one...if indeed that is the problem. I figured if it was a phone defect that new sites would be all over this.

What is considered a good signal strength reading? Mine has varied from -80 to -110 at times.

Between -85 and -75 is considered excellent.

2 foot wifi range with brand new Galaxy Nexus

So i picked up a Galaxy Nexus, was brand new (almost, package was opened but never used, checked the UPtime on the battery was only mins..) anyway. im and pretty certain it wasnt hacked or anything. it was just someone trying to sell their new free phone from a contract. model number i9250m
So i brought it to my GF's house, where i have never had any wifi issues, it would show normal good bars, connect and then get the IP.. internet would work fine, then all of a sudden, nothing.. turning Wifi on/off again, would sometimes allowe it to reset, but still, nothing more than 20 seconds... when i would use it in the bathroom (router is in the landlords on the other side of the wall.) it would work fine. No other devices in the house would give any issues over wifi...
SInce it was only 4.0.2 i though i would upgrade.. so i tried the nightly build cyanogen mod rom, cm-9-20120602-NIGHTLY-maguro-signed.zip still the same issue, even at my house, nothing, unless im 2 feet from the router.. 4-10 feet and a wall, no luck at all.
after some reasearch, they said change it to 5.0 ghz from 2.4, using one or the other didnt really change anything, (i think 5.0 didnt even work) i installed wifi analiser, here is what it is showing

with this reception, wifi only works from 4 feet. and is not that stable.. when it is connecting, it is super fast, but not consistant at all.
I have changed teh channel from 6 to 11, since wifi analizer said it was a better one..
I am using AWS (wind mobilicity) network. ANyone have any input or help?
thanks

i just replaced my new gnex for the very reason you stated. the phone also got very warm while charging and took grainy pictures.
so far the replacement is doing all 3 things much better.
i would suggest trying to get a replacement.

the funniest thing, i have 2 boxes (internet with built in router) and a seperate linksys, (used as a switch) i just disabled wif on the switch and everything works! that doesn really explain the problem at my g/fs house,
this was weird, because i was hacing the same issue with my Nexus S and an Ipad.. hopefully i dont have a faulty Wifi.. thanks for the help..

That's weird. You have super strong signal. I don't know why it isn't working. Haven't seen many posts about this issue.

Whats your network speed on your note 4?

I was amazed at this phone on verizon.
-Wizzle

You got me beat. I was amazed at the 24-26 I got in the Cincinnati-day ohio area. Coming from a galaxy s3 I was use to 6-8 on average.

This is the best I've gotten so far. Northwest Minneapolis suburbs.

I don't get higher than 9 down where I am. I'm actually sort of disappointed in this. I was hoping that my area was on XLTE. On regular LTE, the network is so saturated and crappy. I have 50/5 internet through Centurylink, with a Netgear Nighthawk router. My wifi speed tops out at 12 down. I get 26 down on my macbook, and 46 down on a wired connection.
I really was hoping for better results. I mean I know that the LTE situation in my area is a sad joke, but I have some pretty good speeds through CL.

I'm pretty happy

my area used to get horrible speeds of like 1mbps. I complained a lot. I think they finally fixed the towers here, and my g2 started getting like 10 to 15...ny note 4 gets 20 to 30. it's pretty awesome.

You guys still on "global" or did you switch to "LTE/CDMA"? Trying to decide if I should switch. Not really noticing any problems with Global but I haven't really ran much tests. Will do some today and post back.

I got 25mpbs where my g2 couldn't pull 10

Also Verizon.

switched to LTE/CDMA and noticed no difference.

Did this one just yesterday morning. Super happy.

Took this right after getting the phone.

The was on my Note 3, but the Note 4 would have gotten the exact same thing.

I get those speeds throughout my college campus in So Cal. I've actually stopped using the campus Wi-Fi because of it. Thank god for unlimited data.

M919 Having AWFUL reception problems need help !

Having AWFUL reception problems Tmo SGH-M919 using M919UVUFNK2 Baseband
Tried updating the Modem 2 weeks ago. Used to use the MK2 and never had good reception but it did not drop as many calls and used to dial faster, but that's before, not recently. If I walk 100 yards away on the street, I can use the phone with no problems, 4G or LTE
I did a side-by-side with my GS3 and the GS3 can dial quickly, and has no drop calls.
The GS4 when it's receiving Edge, makes calls all garbled and a waste of time.
Kernel version 3.4.0-453951

Fri Apr 26 16:55:54KST 2013
Started getting a LOT of dropped calls, takes a hella long time to dial (when it does)
most of the time it just burps and goes back to the dialer screen. T-mo sent me 2 different repeater amps for the house and it does not do anything to improve the situation.
I have an Auto Stereo Head unit (pioneer) that interfaces with the GS4 using Mirrorlink and displays the GPS on a very large screen so I'd be screwed if I had to replace the model phone, as there ain't no DriveLink/MirrorLink that I can find that will allow me to get the GPS displayed on the big (Backup Camera) screen. Cannot dump the Pioneer head unit with Backup cam as it cost over $1700 to get it installed and working.
I'd like to hear anyone having had this problem and how they have remedied it.....
All responses appreciated!
Aloha and have a Great Day!

If you had to replace your Samsung GS4 with another GS4 - wouldn't you be able to simply reinstall the app you need to retain connectivity to your audio system?

Are you using a non tmobile sim?

Are you there. :what:

Sorry for the long delay,
We went on a trip and just got back. I did manage to repair the phone problem just minutes before we left. I had corrected the problem by flashing the most Current Modem onto the phone. Now I have M919UVUFNK2 in it and the reception is remarkably better. I might get one (if any) dropped call versus nearly every call. Before, communication would not be possible due to distortion, noise, or simply burps, and no sound after that.... I don't know if there was any other reason, but it's working VERY WELL, so I am not gonna try to figure out WHAT fixed it (if not the modem), and just leave things be..... since it's working better than ever before!
Thanks for the response!
