How do you turn off NFC option? Can't find any NFC related stuff in settings.

BTW i am on 4.0.2 and i don't have that "avoid poor networks" anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrtopace:
It is in settings, then more (under the data usage heading). Then NFC is in there...

Mine is 4.0.1 I do still have the avoid poor networks option....no updates (official ones) here yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
ahh i see :P Thanks, will try and see if it helps.

EDIT: nope didn't help anything. But i do have to say that i flashed xxkk6 radio yesterday and now i have had a stable (almost) connection for about 24 hours. But still signal shows 2 for most part. Anyways you should probably flash that radio and see if it helps. Also my other thread where i got info about that radio : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20535945

Still i didn't pay 5000 NOK (510 GBP) for a phone that doesn't have a working wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] friessner:
me neither!! and i am NOT going willing to fiddle around with flashing this and flashing that just in order to get wifi running. thats a basic oldschool feature of smartphones. its no extravaganza new stuff we can´t expect to be officially released and therefore have to flash it into our phones.

i will give it a couple of days but my decision is already 99.5% sure: i will send back this piece of pretty nice "§$%&/ to amazon before the 14 days period.

especially the two conversations with the samsung support showed me that samsung is not going to react that soon about this issue.

thats really annoying and - you may flame me ;-) - at the end a big promotion event for apple and their iphone strategy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
I am probably going to return this phone for now until a fix comes out. I can't use the phone the way I use the phone without wifi on my current data plan.

Sucks to go back to the SGS1 since I didn't see a lot of points in upgrading to the SGS2 from the 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
Nr. 1 is probably not the phones fault, try another router.

Nr. 2: The same thing happened on my Nexus S when I connected it to a cheap Nokia charger, never happened otherwise though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Well if you have searched a little bit then you can see Many people have multitouch issue WITHOUT a charger connected. I am sure you have this too but it's not always that you face this problem. When i first saw the youtube video and tested in a multitouch app everything was fine. But then i tried later and after some tries i faced the problem. I still have multitouch issue when i play games. The current fix works for now. Where you press power button and press it again to wake phone up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] friessner:
sorry dario, but you obviously are too much of a "quick-answer-guy"

if you searched a couple of minutes for the wifi issues on the GN you would definitely know that it has nothing to do with any routers

people around the globe are experiencing wifi issues with ALL routers in ALL places. wanna reconfigure all of them to make them work with the GN?

read before you post such pseudo.expert advise

again: sorry that i sound a little bit offending, but i just am done with samsung AND with people always going at the routers, when all other devices are working perfectly with these routers. from a technical point of view this approach is just pure nonsense.

i talked yesterday with a samsung partner repair shop and the guy admitted that allthough the GN on the paper is just perfect, in reality it is just too poorly conceived and will bring harm to a lot of people. google and samsung are acting out of big pressure and hammering products out of their labs without the necessary time and quality testing.

and we, the consumers, are going to be their employees in disguise. but instead of getting paid, we pay ourselves with our money AND our time.

so. that just had to be said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dillius:
Mine seems to lose Wifi signal only when I am doing some kind of intense downloading, for instance syncing down a lot of music for offline use with Google Music. Then it will intermittently flash off and on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Same here but as i said earlier, to everyone else who haven't done this yet, Flash xxkk6.img and hopefully this can be a temp fix. So far i have managed to download stuff without getting disconnected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sucker4pa1n:
I used to have this issue with my Incredible. Or similar... it would say its connected, then lose it, then reconnect. At some points everyone else would dump off my router too. I have DDWRT on a 3400NR (or whatever that open source router is... can't remember) but it fixed itself over time; mixed with being a flashaholic and updating firmware on router; changing channels on it and also upping its power output.

But based on what I've read here it makes me think since y'all tried all that then waiting makes sense.

Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Same issue with my gsm gn. Speedtest downloads looks like mountains sometimes peaking at 20 mb and often timing out. Uploads are however stable.

Its not my router because my other phones are not experiencing this issue.

Im amazed at how few complaint posts im seeing. This ought to be national news!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbever:
same wifi issue

My Verizon nexus is doing the same thing. First 2 days it was fine. Now it will state that it is connected via wifi and gives an IP address but the wifi indicator is grayed out and it will not receive any data. I have 2 different routers same issue with both. The wifi indicator will briefly turn blue when I turn wifi on, but will gray out again. I have powered the phone on/off etc with no help. I am not going to flash anything since I don't want to screw up the warranty if I have to return it.

The 3G and 4G data seems to be fine. I have unlimited data so I don't mind that much but I do want to be able to use wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aleve1983:
i have this issue in 4.0.1 4.0.2 4.0.3 with mi router sitecom wl 363, i test in other router and it's ok
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbever:
My routers are Linksys wrt 54g updated to the most recent firmware. The strange thing is that they worked fine for 2 days but now nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Update: I should mention that I have a ubee modem/wireless router provided by time-warner cable and two additional trendnet-brand wired access points.

When I'm next to the ubee I am seeing around 28mb down and over 5mb up. I am paying for 30mb down and 5mb up. The up/dn speeds are consistent when I'm next to this device.

When I'm next to the access points is when I'm seeing the choppy downloads but the uploads are still stable and near my max 5mb. The downloads graph looks like extreme peaks and valley's with frequent hangs. In this mode the average download speed is usually less than 10mb and often doesn't finish. I should note that my nexus one does not experience the choppiness when I run the same speedtest.net on the access points right after I run it on the GN. So it definitely appears to be a compatibility or configuration issue with just the access points. Since it isn't an issue on the nexus ones I'm really wondering just what I should be looking for in the access point config that would affect the GN but not the nexus ones? I'm using channels 1,6, and 11 and wifi analyzer is showing no interference on those frequencies. Also just using 2.4mhz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Negbay:
Not sure if it helps but I was having the same wifi issues(older nexus one and xoom worked just fine) so i tried changing from WPA2 to WPA and it seems to be much more stable now.

Before this change i would be lucky if i could open a few webpages or youtube videos, now i don't seem to get disconnected at all. The only thing that still gives me issues is the speedtest app but at least the wifi is usable now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbever:
(this is a cross post from Droid Forums)

I downloaded wifi analyzer from the market. It shows my 3 access points with good signal strength (one is -59 dBm, the others are -75 and -76). I typically don't use the third one since it is part of a home automation router (micasaverde). This shows the wifi radio in the device is working, but I'll be darned if I can figure out why it is not connecting. It seems likely this is a software issue. One AP is on channel 6, the other two are on channel 11. When I connect to one of the linksys routers, it states I am connected and that I have an IP address under wifi settings with link speed of 36 MPS. I have tried Forget ing the access points and rescanning and adding them back, but they still are not working.

Addendum

I am still unable to connect to either of my linksys routers. I have a micasverde vera home automation controller that also has a built in access point, also secured with WPA2. I tried connecting to that one and SUCCESS! No problems, able to download 1 GB of podcasts without any problems, dropped data or anything. I tried to connect to each of the other two, and no go. There was a brief flash of blue and then grey on the signal indicator, with no data connectivity. I went back to the MCV vera access point and it connected NO PROBLEM.

I am guessing this may be related to the linksys routers, but this is above my tech knowledge level. I am not sure what chipset the MCV vera runs.

Anyone else having issues with wifi/linksys routers? All my other devices work fine with them. My OG droid worked fine with them as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbever:
Well this is really strange. My linksys routers are connecting normally today, no issues. The MCV vera router is also connecting no problem. I didn't do anything differently. I did not reboot the phone, routers etc. WTF? They were not working for about 48 hrs before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutsonfire:
I was having issues with a Sitecom router, changed to a netgear wnr2000v3 and it has been working fine. Haven't done heavy stuff yet, but haven't seen any cuts so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rad175:
I too am having wifi issues, it's just not stable and keeps spiking

I can't even watch youtube as it is now, takes a minute for a vid to load and once it starts it only buffers to like 25% then stops there for over a minute. I've tried loading the same clip from both my galaxy s2 and samsung tab 10.1, from the same WiFi ofc, and they both load it instantly without a single hickup.

Using static IPs for all three devices and i've tried swopping these around aswell, still its only the GN giving me trouble.

I've been running speed tests on the GN and the S2 and while the S2 provides a very stable graph, the GNs looks like a freaking mountain pass. It's maxed out one sec to then jump right back down to basically zero.

Not really sure what i should do next, very dissapointed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Finally. This is exactly what I'm experiencing. (may be a bit worse in your case) The speed tests are extremely inconsistent, when downloading a file or just an app from the Android Market, both the wifi and the cellular network icon will flash grey and then the wifi icon will disappear, then I'll get an error from the Android Market, then the wifi icon will re-appear and finally, I would have to restart the download. This is most noticeable while downloading SD file data for various games such as Asphalt 6. I don't know what to do, and I highly doubt Bell will take the Galaxy Nexus back :(

But this issue seems very rare... I know someone who has a Galaxy Nexus from Bell like me as well and he isn't facing any issues whatsoever. He's coming over tomorrow, and I'll test his Galaxy Nexus on my wifi network and see if anything goes wrong.

EDIT: Youtube videos randomly will stop working in the middle of the video, starts buffering for 30 seconds, and then start again... I'll see if this is the same issue with my friends Galaxy Nexus when he comes over.

EDIT2: Alright guys, first thing I'll do after I sleep (it's 4:31 A.M. over here) I'll plug my Linksys WRT300N router in and see if that makes any difference. (Right now I'm using a Bell modem that came with Fibe TV)

EDIT3: Because so many people are bothered with this issue, and I probably might not be able to change the router later in the day, I'm testing an asphalt 6 download now.

EDIT4: Downloading right now, working flawlessly for now... will post back with results if it fails to download (if not now, then later in the day)

EDIT5: Downloaded about 200+ mb of files so far without any stopping or lag. I believe the router was the issue with the specific phone itself. For the people with the issue right now, try getting a friend or relative with a Galaxy Nexus and trying it on your network. If not, I would suggest getting a new router if the issue is of great nuisance to you.

EDIT6: Yup, as far as I can see, the router was the issue. I just downloaded most of the Asphalt 6 SD files data through wifi, and it worked perfectly. (I say most because I had some like around 100mb downloaded before)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Caanon:
Ditch Linksys; they make craptastic routers. Get something like the ASUS RT-N16.

Had a Linksys 54g and it gave me nothing but problems. DNS lookup errors, drops, crappy signal strength, you name it. Aftermarket firmware didn't help either: DD-WRT, OpenWRT, Tomato, you name it. Bought my Asus, slapped Tomato firmware on it and haven't even thought about it since. It just works.

GalaxyNexus icm DLink DAP-1360

I'm having a lot of trouble too with my new Galaxy Nexus (OS 4.0.2) and my DLink DAP-1360 (802.11N AP), I've tried all combinations of settings (b, g, n, WEP, WPA, WPA2, channels, etc) but it keeps loosing connection, even when my iPad2 and iPhone4 have a good connection. it even tells me it can't see the network when the iPad2 is connected at full speed...

with the AVM Fritz!Box 7170 (b+g) I have no trouble at all, nor with other routers/APs of friends/family... seems to be a buggy combination my DLINK and the GalaxyNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Ive got a ubee wireless router and three trendnet access points. The ubee works great and the trendnets all have the described problem. This really sucks because until the GN I never had issues with the trendnets and any other device.

Maybe the issue is with GN and not all these routers and access points? Do we know if problem is gsm and vzw? 2.0.1 and 2.0.2? Radio versions?

My specs:

GSM

2.0.1

Radio xxkk1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
EDitI've narrowed it down a bit more and found something interesting.

On both my ubee wireless router and a new tp-link access point I have found something very significant. On both of these devices when I run speedtest with bluetooth enabled the speedtest is reduced by a good 30-50%. With bluetooth turned off I am now seeing almost my full broadband speed (30mb). The graph is also much smoother without big peaks and valleys.

On my trendnet access point I just can't seem to get a reliable connection no matter how I configure it. So two devices work at almost full internet speed (30 mb down in my case) with bluetooth off and one device is just flat out unreliable with the GN.

Anyone else seeing huge speed reductions with bluetooth enabled?

Edit: Has anyone run any speed tests with bluetooth turned on using a dual band router set to 5GHz? I'm wondering if wifi and bluetooth are both running by default at 2.4 and possibly colliding? At the moment I don't have a 5GHz router to test. The GN is pretty fast and it is also wireless n. I wonder if slower phones maybe aren't as prone to this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
I don't think we should have to mess with our routers to get the WIFI to work.

As I've said earlier I've had no success with teh wifi In airport or other public areas. Its one thing for me to change my WIFi setting on my personal router. It is a completely different thing for me to have problems on public connections. What am I supposed to do? Go to the customer service and ask them if they can reset their router or change their wireless settings?

So even If I am able to get my phone to acheive a stable connection in my home (which I am not) that doesn't even matter If I cant use it when I am out of the house. Which is what MOBILE phone is for.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I couldn't agree with you more. Lets hope an update fixes these problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daan0:
I'm having the same problem with my Wifi. I notice that I can use my wifi for simple actions, like refreshing twitter or loading news with apps. But whenever I try to surf some heavy websites, or watch youtube my wifi stops working although it still says that I'm connected.

After I stop using my phone for like 30 seconds, or when I switch my wifi off and on, than my wifi starts working again for simple tasks that is. All my other devices (pc, htc hd2 etc.) have no problem with the wifi.

Also I checked my router and entered my Mac-adres, and I could see that my device's wifi was being used but whenever i start a heavy task (and thus my wifi stops working) I notice that the 'Power save mode' changes to yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I didn't catch this post the first time I scanned this thread. This is really bad news. Did you change the radios when you flashed 4.0.2 and 4.0.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
THIS IS NOT THE ROUTERS FAULT.

this is definitely a hardware or (PLEASE GOD...PLEEASEE BE a....) software issue.

I hold in my hands right now, two Gnex's just recieved a new one today because of it and I can confirm (while having my GF's Nexus S with us) bot GNEX's suffer insane wifi problems in both my house and my aunt next door

the nexus s? nothing, smooth hold no drops..even faster data downspeed

i have reverted (ON BOTH) 4.0.1 Then updated to 4.0.2 and even manually put on both 4.0.3...stilll drops and what not.

This is PITIFUL...and im sure there is a golden nugget or two of someone who will say, my phone is great..or router..again. it is not. I respect your opinion..but trust me..for the OP's sake and anyone else with this problem..i have wasted ALOT of time on this..have tried it on two very new routers and a older phone comparing it with 2 gnex's and wala.....bad news
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Question remains. How will we get anyone to address this?

While I personally concur with the problem, the fact remains that very few have voiced complaints. I guess thats because even though the connection sucks you can eventually get connected long enough to get most tasks accomplished.

So how do we make this newsworthy enough to warrant a response? Apparently others have called Samsung and they absolutely refuse to acknowledge it. It would be nice if you could get get someone like androidcentral, who all have GN's, to verify this and get the word out in their reviews, articles and podcasts. Without pressure I'm afraid we don't have much hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lillypad_33:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
I've never had an issue with the wifi on my verizon Gnex, it's always been solid and I've been able to constantly download in excess of 1 gb without a hiccup.

I read through the entire thread because of the other issue, the multi-touch. It was driving me crazy since i couldn't play regular shooting games, then I flashed the Rootzboat rom and the issues went away. I figured that was it except on the same day I put an otterbox case on it. I took the case off yesterday and played a game and the same issues showed up again. After turning off the screen and replacing the case everything was back to normal. Sounds to me like it's a driver issue where it's measuring the capacitance wrong, since the otterbox includes a screen protector on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
1gb down? If the phone were capable the theoretical max of 802.11n is only 300mb and I don't think anyone has ever seen much over half that speed. Do you mean 1mb perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
No, not 1 gb down I should have worded a little better. 1 gb files downloaded continuously, without losing connection or pausing. As far as speeds go i average around 20 mb down and 3-4 mb up with 41 ms ping. My motorola xoom averages 25 mb down and 3 mb up. This is in the same room as the router, though. My xoom I have set up to connect to 2.4 ghz and my nexus runs on the 5 ghz network (probably the reason why the nexus was a little slower since I have a lot more stuff connected to the 5 ghz network).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Thanks for clearing that up. Which router and AP's are you using? Personally I dont have a 5 ghz to test. Have you tried it on 2.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
I'm using a Netgear N600 dual band router with WPA2 encryption. Just ran a speed test on the 2 ghz network, it connected fine but kept pretty much the same results except the ping went down to 32 ms. Maybe since the tablet is bigger it allows for a bigger antenna? Not really sure. Just loaded an HD music video off of youtube through the stock browser 3.5 mins long and it loaded the entire thing in about 6 seconds.

As far as the Gnex goes i'm running a 4.03 rom Rootzboat, should have the same wireless drivers though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Did you try it while you were still stock? We've had other reports now of custom ROMs solving the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
That was a couple weeks ago, rooted it as soon as I got it. But, I can't remember any blatant issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsporck:
New AP's???

I am MEGA frustrated with my Galaxy Nexus, it is ridiculous the amount of trouble I have encountered with it in just one month, I've never had so many problems with my iPhones (even JBs) in 4years!

OS is unstable (incl. crashes/reboots), apps keep crashing, incl. native Apps like the camera app, wifi is one big mess!!!

@wifi:

I need to use my iPhone or iPad to get onto the Wifi, reset the AP to another channel to get my GNexus connected again!!!

I used to use my iPhones both for work and for fun, FUN with the GNexus I'd completely gone!

Samsung-Google get this solved please or I'll have to switch back to iOS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Im frustrated too but you sound like you should go back to the iphone. IMO the GN isnt an iphone replacement. Its for a different type of user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
Different type of user? Not when his phone is insanely unstable. The connectivity issues really are a drag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Again Samsung/Google F'ed this up. I wish i NEVER had sold my SGS2. So stupid of me to have the latest and "greatest". Anyways i am going to return this tomorrow and see if they can fix it or send me a new one. I hope that the warranty will cover this.
