Hello,
This is my first day with galaxy nexus and i am getting 1 signal bar in my room, my iphone 4s has full signal bars also for the galaxy s2, i tried many radios with many roms and compilations of kernels in the last 5 hours.
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 was wondering why my phone always displayed the 3G logo next to signal bar so decided to investigate further. Despite living in the centre of town the 4G around here is quite patchy so I put an identical "Three(3UK)" 4G sim in my old Moto G 4G phone and went outside to compare...sure enough, the Moto G was showing 4G while the P8000 showed 3G. As far as I know I have never seen 4G in the display. The phone will be going back if I can't get 4G!
Anyone else experienced this or am I the odd one out?
4G is selected under preferred network type.
Have you tried Editting the APN settings to that for Three?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app
Go to dial pad and type:
*#*#4636#*#* that should take you to phone info. then on nework mode choose LTE only and see if it works...
APN seems fine, thanks for that hashcode @ferreinf - I will try that when I'm definitely in a 4g area near my flat
My brother has just got one and is having exactly the same issue on Three. Any joy?

I drove to a 4g area nearby today and force enabled LTE only as described(you can also d/l MTK engineering app from playstore to do this) - I did manage to get the 4g symbol above the signal bars but a speedtest didn't really produce what you might expect from a 4g connection...the symbol did change back by itself to H about a minute later so I'm not quite sure what's going on here....I might have an old Vodafone PAYG sim somewhere so my next move might be to try it instead. Haven't got access to EE or O2/giffgaff cards to test. APN settings seem to be correct and 3g data does work quite well so it's interesting that your bro has the same issues, where did he buy his phone and what colour is it(does his have the blue notification led in home button?)

I think it might have been geekbuying, it only came today. Black one with blue LED. I got him to try switching to LTE only and he said he got a 4g signal but lost ability to make calls. I'm also on 3 but with a Honor 6 and I'm due to see him tomorrow so I'll have a tinker myself and see how his signal is compared to mine in the same location.
That will indeed be a good test, I was out again in another location tonight and noticed the 4g come on by itself so perhaps that's a good sign - I'll have to test the calls function when on 4g tomorrow but it should automatically revert to 3g for that surely. I am using the flyme rom by the way...my area is supposed to have 4g according to the coverage checker but it's bloody useless around here!
That Honor 6 better be good for $300 though you probably paid more at the time(did you get single or dual sim?),
I actually bought the P8000 for my wife but she finds it too heavy and the screen too big so I'm stuck with the big gold brick - at least the battery life is pretty good!
Tested the 4g again and it seems to be working better now that I forced it to LTE through the engineering menu and when you make a call it reverts to 3g then cycles back to H then 4g when you end call. Didn't test d/l speed as I had my payg card in and running a 4g speedtest burns quite a lot of data!
So how do you rate your Honor 6 against your bros phone?
4g just popped up on mine, got 25.3 down and 2.2 up. Not sure if that's good or bad to he honest.
Sent from my Elephone P8000 using XDA Free mobile app
That's pretty good I'd say, I would be happy with that! I flashed the stock ROM back today and forced phone to LTE and your bro is right about the calls not working as the phone doesn't revert to 3g for voice automatically so I might have to go back to flyme...hope cm ROM is here soon and that it works well!
Tried again today on stock rom not forced to 4G and the phone did pick up 4g automatically as I was driving around, calls worked too so it seems that problem has magically fixed itself as it wasn't showing 4g at all the first week I had it! Still getting the annoying random wifi hangs and camera crashes when trying to use with other apps(waze in my case).
there's an firmware update adressing this issue, dated august 15th. it should fix this.

Sorry, not been back to this thread since contributing before.
My brother is still complaining about internet speeds. When I sat with him I was getting H+ but his phone was just showing 3G. Tried to force to 4G only but that resulted in no signal (we were in a weak 4G area). So my main concern at the mo is that he might not be getting H+ and is only either getting standard 3G.
It's difficult to debug from afar, but I did all the usual engineering menu stuff when I was with him and none of that seemed to help. I'm seeing him again on Saturday and we'll both be in a 4G area so I'll at least be able to do some more comparisons...
Regarding my Honor, it's a lovely phone. I paid about £200 for the single SIM European version of it back in January. I had a Lenovo A830 prior to that so I'm a big Chinaphone fan, but didn't want anything bigger than 5" which is what made me go for the Honor. The P8000 seems very nice too though!
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------
I remember on my A830 having to flash a different modem / radio image to get the correct bands and I notice a similar issue with some import OPOs detailed here forums.oneplus.net/threads/modem-hack-for-chinese-opo-to-enable-3g.46696 - I suspect a similar issue might be at play here.
Might flash the FlyMe ROM for him at the weekend seeing as people have had success with that...
Hi,
I have 4G issue too but have yet to see 4G display once and I"m in a strong signal area.
I have configured my APN for giffgaff, data is enabled, 4g is "preferred" in options and LTE is forced in Eng menu as above *#*#4636#*#*
But still no 4g from my sim which is working as tried in another phone any ideas please?
what does the 3g with a smaller 3g behind it mean?
Regards
sim 1 signal quality is normal but sim 2 signal quality very poor and no bar in many times but when i check same network with old mobile in the same area it was 3 bar although my asus zenfone mobile signal has no bar. sorry for my bad English

Sim 2 is only on 2G, is 2G still available in your area? You may also be hitting a 2G far away as the tower near you no longer supports 2G

That I can't explain. You may have a problem with your sim 2 modem, hardware issue.
i also have a problem with my both sims.neither the 3g nor the 2g network is good i checked the sim in other phones and they are fine seems to be my Mobile's problem.i also sent my phone to repair and got some improvement in signal strength but still it seems a little problem with it.

Let me preface by saying I love this phone except one single issue...my reception is just not as good as other phones.
I jump phones frequently looking for the perfect phone and I thought I had found it until recently. I noticed (t mobile) that my reception (while it says I have a signal) just seems to be spotty in areas I had a great signal on my nexus. the calls seem staticy and often end up dropping.
Anyone else getting this on tmobile as well? And for the record, t mobile's service gets great coverage where I am.
Nope, I'm on T-Mobile as well and my cell ? is actually better than what I was getting on my s7e. No static on Phone calls or anything. I'm using VoLTE

Signal meter bar readout will vary with every brand and is not a reliable indicator on reception quality.
Up/download speeds or band switching, perhaps even call dropouts are probably a better gauge.
Correct and while my signal sits here at -110, my phone shows 3 bars...Sorry that's not the truth. This phones reception in my area are far inferior to every other phone I have owned.
I'm having the same issue but when comparing my galaxy s6 and OnePlus 3 with LTE discovery the numbers and bands connected are about the same. It's just when I'm on the OnePlus 3 the calls drop or it breaks up but I don't have that issue on the GS6. They're both on T-Mobile and I have disabled volte on my op3 went into advance settings and selected LTE/GSM prl auto and made sure my apn is correct but the problem still persist.
I can to you that mine is excellent. My desk at work is terrible with AT&T and most phones (including all Samsung, from S7 down) will drop to no coverage. Best phones I've had for reception are the Nexus 5x, 6P, and OP3. Shouldn't say reception because most phones are very close on the signal level, about -120 but I can still make calls and receive MMS at this level with the OP3 when most others drop to no coverage. This is the main reason I'm keeping my OP3.
i pop the sim into sim tray 2 and still the same. going to VOLTE make no changes. did the first batch got hardware issue? the thing this i order mine on first day

My OP3 refuses to pickup 4G in places that my old iPhone 5s and 6P always did. Why is this?
we don't know, we do not know where u r at or what carrier u are on and by 4G do u mean LTE

I am having the same issue. I am on Bell in Toronto Canada. Some areas cannot get LTE. Some times my data just hangs showing full bars. Can't receive or make calls or texts. There are a few threads on different forums with people having the same issue. Hoping it is just a software bug that can be fixed with an update.
I'm O2 Germany and have a really good LTE reception. Look up what LTE bands your carrier is using and compare it to the specs of the OP3. Maybe that's the issue. You can also try to enable flight mode for a few seconds then disable it and the phone will connect new and then you might have LTE.
edit: Seems like Bell Canada is not fully supported but 3 UK is.

Hm I can recommend the app LTE Discovery. Then you'll see if there is any LTE network around you and if the phone receives it.

I am using my OP3 with mobile internet, using google map a lot. But the google map app eating too much data. Even if i download the offline map and trying to use offline the navigation. If i try to use the offline pre downloaded map without internet connection just does not work. After few seconds or minutes the map will become „blank” means no can see the streets and roads. Nothing at all. But if i turn back the internet on my phone everything coming back. But the point is, that is why i want to use offline maps to save my data bundles.
On my OPO it was not a problem, if i was using the offline map and turning off my mobile internet connection the google map was workng fine. I am using CM13/ Marshmallow on both phone.
Also it has never eat so much data like on OP3.
I am on Tmobile UK and using a 1GB data bundle per month. Before was using my OPO the 1 GB data was more then enough for a month using google map almost every day around 7-8 hours a day. I need the google sat nav for my everyday work so that is why using a lot.
But with OP3 only yesterday i was using almost 200MB and it was all the google map.
I was trying to disable background data traffic on the settings, and also the google map settings has some option but just does not help.
If i download the desired map via wifi and after trying to use the map offline it just become „blank” the map. I need to use the mobile internet to be able to use the offline map. Annoying…
AT&T in the US. I can't get LTE at work. Only H+, and sometimes just 3G.
My issue is that when I get into an area that is LTE for certain, the device doesn't pick it up. It stays in 3G or H+.
I then have to toggle the SIM settings on and off for the device to get LTE. Then it is fine until the next time I go into am area without LTE.
My apn settings are correct and my IMEI is mapped correctly.
Changing to LTE only won't work because then sometimes I would have no signal.
Have you installed OOS 3.2.4? If so go back to 3.2.2. There are known connectivity issues with 3.2.4. There's a little more info on the official OnePlus Community forum in case your interested.
