Well I'm on my second one and will tell you that its no different. Infact THIS NEW ONE has an additional problem.

Aside from wifi issues. This one has the button click glitch. Where, if u have the touch sound enabled and touch something, 2-3 seconds later it makes a slightly warped similar sound yeah. U can say to disable it...but again...another problem that has been documented
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Well i think everyone has this (me too) but not everyone knows that yet.

I cant make that happen on mine.

WiFi reconnect issue - possible workaround

it seems as if I have resolved the Wifi reconnect issue I have with both my DLink APs at home: setting the IP to Static on the GNex seems to resolve it

in a very undecent manner but hey it works for me now! let's hope Samsung/Google get this issue solved because what to do with Wifi's you do not know?

Here's a link to my G+ post with more details concerning my (W)LAN a home!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Where's the Link?

apparently I am not allowed to share links :-(

Didn't work for me. Same problem, disconnecting asap i hit speedtest button. F'k it, i'm gonna return the phone tomorrow and just use a temp phone in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Static ip did help alot. I also discovered that my ubee router also supports 5Ghz. Wow, the GN apparently loves 5Ghz! With static ip and wireless N at 5Ghz this phone does wifi like you would expect. I am consistently seeing speedtest.net results between 20 and 28mb down and 5mb up. Both close to my max internet bandwidth limits and no disconnects:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
Didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
Its lets me remain connected for a bit longer. But still disconnects.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimpyestrada:
Just wanted to add my 2 cents. I'm having the wifi problem too.

I'm running a Linksys 150N router with custom DDWRT firmware flashed onto it. While I will agree that the router was crap when it was stock, it is much better with DDWRT on it.

I am running stock. I've rooted but I haven't flashed anything custom on the phone yet.

Router config: I am using WPA with TKIP. My wireless mode is set to NG Mixed. My wireless channel is Auto. My channel width is Auto.

Phone config: Bluetooth off. WiFi frequency band set to Auto. Wireless sleep policy set to Never.

I have found that if I enable Airplane mode count to 10 and disable airplane mode the wifi snaps back awake and is perfectly fine for some time. I put it back in my pocket and some time later I take it out and notice that my widgets haven't updated and I've got the gray wifi indicator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
Very long convoluted reply that just confirms there is a wifi problem.. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daan0:
I still have the wifi problem, I also noticed that whenever it stops working on my phone it also stops working for all other wifi users for 30 seconds.

Why isn't there more attention for this issue?

P.S. I tried the wifi region fix for ICS, but it didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amdhunter:
Damn. Glad I am not the only one. I haven't tried any of the fixes mentioned though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
ok guys i just need someone else to try this. I went into my router and changed from wpa2 to wpa. With WPA i dont seem to get disconnected at all, altough speed still suck when i am too far away. But then i changed back to WPA2 and got disconnecting issue again. Now can anyone try this and see what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marmon:
This solution may be unique to me, but I'm hoping it can help others out.

I too was having wireless issues but only with a specific wireless router. WiFi worked great at home, but would lose signal and reconnect all day long at the office with our SonicWALL TZ 190w b/g router. I dug around some support forums and found people with iPads who were having similar issues on similar routers.

Their solution was to lower both Fragmentation Threshold and RTS Threshold to 2304 bytes. To those of you who are blaming the router and not the phone, you might see if you can change these options on your own routers. My signal has been very stable and I'm getting much better battery life now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
got zyxel and i can't find those settings anywhere :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
bump. Anyone tried changing from wpa2 to wpa?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimpyestrada:
Actually I get the problem using wpa. Switched to wpa2 for a test and didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] james611:
I'm having the exactly the same issues on an O2 UK GN. However I've noticed one interesting thing; changing the SSID, for me at least, temporarily restores the connection.This suggests to me that this is software not a hardware issue? Hope this is usefull, Saying I'm fed-up would be the understatement of the century....:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooon:
Wifi drops as well...i can simply manage it by turning wifi off and on again. Anyway, it´s not that nice...

WiFi Fixer

This app could help w/ the wifi disconnects:

wififixerDOTwordpressDOTcom/wifi-fixer/download/

(I'm a new user so can't post external links.)

It seems to be doing the job for me. YMMV.

Comes with good documentation re known issues/caveats.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
Just got my phone back from repair for the two issues noted in the OP plus low call volume/low ringer volume.

They diagnosed the RF. Passed 100%

Also replaced "component" doesn't say which. Possibly related to wifi problem, but more likely for the multitouch, since their diagnosis claimed no problems.

They also replaced the speaker and mic.

It doesn't not look like they updated the software since its the same build numbers, version numbers, etc.

One hour after I got the phone it shut off and wouldnt turn back on or take a charge till I pulled the battery for a few minutes.

Also the wifi problem still exists in my handset. On the repair request I got the rep to write down it was mostly likely software related; for what little good it did me.

So now since I got the phone back, ringer is louder/call volume is improved, but the now randomly reboots.

I can scan a copy of the repair service for proof if anyone has problems.

Just a note: I have kept this thing stock the way it comes from bell/samsung. I have done this so they don't complain about these being the case. I am on my 3rd gnexus. If i could get my money back I would.

At least I have the trustworthy Galaxy S with CM9 for a backup. But this is my single biggest waste of money in the alst 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watcherliu:
It's a shame for Samgsun/Google. Lots of guys have the same wifi problem. And they said they didn't know it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
how do u set static ip and like avoid weak signals in wifi settinfs？ cant find it. my phone just refuses to connect to my school wifi when a guy beside me with a gnex connects perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watcherliu:
you can try to edit the connected WIFI network and tick the advance setting. Then you can select DHCH or static IP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimpyestrada:
Maybe not just wifi?

I have been paying closer attention to the connections on my CDMA GNex and I am beginning to wonder if this problem isn't so much a WIFI problem as it is a connectivity problem.

I think I am seeing the exact same behavior when it is connected to 3/4g: the signal has one or more bars, the icon is gray and not blue, and then there is no connection to the net.

Maybe I'm crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daan0:
I'm still having issues with my wifi, since the day I bought this device. It's just annoying that this doesn't get the attention it needs. The fact that I just can't use my wifi because when I do it stops working after a couple of seconds, and even worse the wifi for all the devices in the house stops working, until I turn my wifi off.

I hope that people will look into this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I couldn't agree more about the wifi problem. And I can't believe it doesn't get more attention. I'm waiting for a stable CM9 and hoping they don't use the same unstable wifi code. Unfortunately if that doesn't fix it I'll be starting to look for my next android. Too bad, love the phone except for the lousy wifi and possibly the battery consumption with no available promised Samsung docks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
My GN is disconnecting wifi while screen is off. I have set wifi to be always on but it's not helping. With 4.0.4. Rom update nothing changed. Only workaround is wifi fixer app. that keeps connection on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
i have so many issues with this damn wifi. its annoying as hell. im coming from a samsung gs2 t989 for tmobile and never had issues with wifi. but for some reason i cant download anything above 10mbs (in the market) without my wifi disconnecting and reconnecting like crazy. idk why it does this but i cant stand it. no one has a fix for this? im running the stock 4.0.4. my phone is rooted with the bootloader unlocked if that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Yes, this all sounds familiar. I believe its due to the GN not playing nice with certain network gear. Seems like a lot of people have no wifi issues. AFAIK there is no comprehensive play nice list:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
That's really odd because I've never had wifi issues. It's always strong and stable on my end. I think it might be a conflict with the phone and router.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Odd? I just said in the previous post that most people don't have problems and those that due probably have issues with network gear
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
i am having those issues as well (my internet speed is much faster then this, i will post it in my sig) but i cant even stay connected with wifi. check out my video on youtube to see my problems. i have a hard time finishing a speed test period without my wifi going out. if i cant get this fix some how i might have to get rid of this phone which i dont want to do that but my 3g here is slow. not even 1mbps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mliIsHU9oU

Edit: ok i did a speed test straight from the wireless router to my phone. i can stay connected but i only get 3-4 mbps when my internet speed is much faster which u can see in my signature. but my upload speed is 4mbps so that is fine. there is something differently wrong with the wifi on this phone. ive never had an issue with any of my phones when it comes to wifi. how does google not fix this damn issue? this is pretty huge if u ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patricklph:
I am with Telus using the Simens SE567 router. My phone keeps turning off wifi after the screen is off. I have set the wifi to be always on under the advance option. After many days of trying different roms/kernels, I finally realized it should be my router's problem. I went to school and wifi works flawlessly without screen on (I can still receive notification such as email/whatsapp when screen is off). However, once I get home, I am not able to receive anything using wifi unless I turn my screen on. Anyone got any suggestions? Or should I try to go back and exchange for a new GN..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:
yes as you tipe hude issue but as i see we need some dev to look at this problem becouse it is not our routers problem its software (i really hope) problem.

I try change everything i can to get this fixed but nothing helps. What speedtest do in your video is exactly what i get signal just drop and AccesPoint is 3meters far from me...I try change some seccurity TKIP/AES/WPA2/PSK etc. changing channel number etc. sadly i can not change RTS threashold on my router but it will not help anyway.I PMed to francisco (top kernel dev) but he dont answer me so i dont know what to do...warranty will not help with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
Yeah I used speednet u can find it in the market. I don't see how Google hasn't fixed this issue. For me its a very big deal not being able to download anything on wifi. But I love this phone so much I don't wanna have to get rid of it because of that 1 issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castaway1:
me too! i dont give up and i will keep search for fix/solution as i find some ill post it here. For now..seem little helped set channel 2 on Router. Browser + youtube videos are loading fast now but im losing connection on speedtest aplication..i cant even measure... :( (planning try download some file asap)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Just curious, is anyone here on 4.0.4 yet or see a change after going to 4.0.4? I think 4.0.4 uses a different radio.

Also has anyone with the problem tried a custom ROM such as CM9, AOKP, or gummy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Also, I have found that my connection is usually much better with bluetooth turned off or when using a 5ghz wifi channel. I think bluetooth interferes with 2.4 ghz.

Unfortunately for some reason I can't get my GN to connect at 5ghz any longer:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
The 4.0.4 code has some fixes for it, but the fixes do nothing/it is still horribly broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Ummm... I use WiFi at work and at Home. 2 different routers. Work is a Netgear and Home is a Linksys E3000 running Tomato. My Galaxy Nexus is on Verizon, latest Radio, and LiquidRom 4.0.4. My WiFi is always on and connected to one of those 2 networks 90% of the time.

I haven't had a problem with WiFi at all. I've always downloaded large rom files to flash. I also download huge game files for Gameloft (~800mb).

I keep my bluetooth turned off, but use a program called Bluetooth On Call from the market. It automatically turns bluetooth on while on a call, and off when you disconnect. Works great for bluetooth headset while keeping the bluetooth radio off most of the day.

I do notice that my Transformer TF101 always receives PUSH exchange email from my work like 10 seconds faster then my Nexus, but I think that is because this rom has account polling turned down.

I see lots of people giving problems to issues but aren't saying which make/model they are referring too. GSM/Verizon/Sprint/Android Version/Radio Version/etc

I'm on Verizon and never had issues. Lets try to narrow this down to a specific group. Maybe we need a poll setup.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Were you the one who was going to trade someone on craigslist but were concerned about the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
well i was concerned about it, but i didnt post it on xda. so it must have been someone else. i think mine is imported. its not the one sold in the the google play market. so i figured my warranty will not be good in the US
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
No, not good in the us but if it was purchased through expansys or negri they will send it back to the uk for repair on your behalf.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s10shane:
yeah i just straight traded for my gs2 for this phone so the warranty would be no good. but i do have tmobiles insurance and one of the guys at the store said my insurance would replace it with another phone just not the galaxy nexus since tmobile doesnt carry it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Cool. I used to buy TMO insurance but found I never needed it. Decided to just self insure from now on:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mac_7:
what a mess

my good old Galaxy S has done 2MB/s as my Asus TF101

my Laptop is between 6-8 MB/s on 811n and big files without any problem

but the Galaxy Nexus i9250 GSM goes not beyond 1MB/s

this is far to low :-(

I saw article where they talked about 4MB/s maybe they mixed up MegaByte and MegaBit because 4 MBit is what we get

even my daughters PSP is faster than is Galaxy Lexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
FWIW, my Internet connection at home is 20Mbps--and my GN gets this speed whether it's on 11g or 11n.

This might be premature, but when installed Jelly Bean to my Nexus, WIFI; for the first time ever seems to be working. Ill update again later to see if this is actually true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Haha my wifi has finally been fixed! I, like you, have never had a working wifi on gnex, and was pissed at google.samsung. Until now lol. Thank you jellybean. Seems like somehow they fixed the wifi issue. For the rest of you having issues, try jellybean and see if it works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solipsism:
So I have successfully downloaded 160+ apps, had wifi on all day without a hitch.

I am esteemed that I have a fully functional phone and won't be having to buy a GSIII or paying any extras for Data overages.

I had even sent this thing out for repair, and they still didn't touch the WIFI.

The only thing is that google could have been a little more 'up front' about this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armanisafarai:
Hmm now I'm on V2 Bixie ROM and wifi seems to be ****ed up again. It's a little(very) better then before but still unusable. I have flashed Franco kernel, maybe that ****ed wifi? Anyways, how is yours? Still working?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metal571:
WiFi seems to be working fine on mine. 4.1.1 here OTA stock no root GSM Play Store version.

However, I still get a serious multitouch problem and screen sensitivity issue consistently when I:

1: unlock phone

2: go to messaging

3: go back to the home screen

4: go back to messaging using the recent apps menu

5: now try to type out a text quickly (stock JB keyboard)

After this typing fast on the keyboard tends to miss half of what I'm typing, leaving out tons of letters. Solved when I lock/unlock the phone again, but I shouldn't have to do that. It comes back every time the above 5 steps are followed. Anyone else get this problem?

[Android Apps and Games] lordJudass:
Hi, I wonder when we could see some custom skins and widgets for PowerAMP we all know that since version 2.0 that is possible.

On the other hand I thought of the possibility of some application to customize the widgets using the PowerAmp public API, I could think of something like Bowtie for Mac or Windows CD Art Display where the users could have the option of make their own skins or install from other users, just like Widgetlocker.

I have created a PowerAmp widget "mod", it hasn't been easy to do and it is not suitable at all because I have used many widgets to create the "skin" so it create more system processes, so if we could have an application to do that for us it would be great.

I have no programming knowledge so the changes I made are purely visual, with help of Photoshop I have achieved a result similar to what a developer could get in a single apk (of course only if this is possible).

Look at the screenshot below to get an idea what I mean.

I hope some developer can do this (of course, if it is possible), I know that many would buy an app that can do this, and many others would donate to them if they can work on something like this

Please leave your opinion even if you don't like the idea and think that this is stupid and I'm only wasting your time, any feedback is appreciated.

If this thread is not supposed to be in here please move it to its right section. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Pickx:
I was thinking about this just the other day - the Android userbase kind of sucks. I mean, you get a piece of software as well-made as PowerAMP and we still have zero custom skins and zero custom widgets?

Barely anything even uses the PowerAMP API...

I guess fragmentation is to blame once again

I've been searching for poweramp themes as it just is the best player that gives the best sound quality ever! I came across this one:

http://androidforums.com/android-themes/532036-extreme-skin-poweramp.html

It's not very popular yet on the market as you also have to pay 0.76 euro for it. Have not tried it yet but hope this may help :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witchcraftz:
I really like the look of this theme, it's transparent black without completely being so. I understand that it's actually done in these screenshots by a combination of paid apps from the developer mentioned on this page, but I was wondering if there was a theme for WolfBreak or just for the X10 which would give this kind of look. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Look in appman for transparent theme
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witchcraftz:
Thanks for the suggestion. The transparent theme is too clear though. I'm looking for something only 80% clear and with a black feel to it like the above screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atiasdudi:
I love my gn but this one thing really bothers me!

Im a heavy talker, i use the phone app more then any other app

when Im not in the phone app, android caches it so i can get back quickly later

but if im doing something that take memory like browser/youtube/facebook android just clear the phone app from cache (ive tested that with the built-in app manager)

then when i go back to lets say, call log, it takes 2 sec to load + scrolling down the list lags so much! (when i reach down the list, android caches is back again so everything is smooth now)

any way of forcing it to stay cached? i found lots of apps in the market to clear cache, not one app of doing the other way around?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Whenever you are done using an app that's not the Phone app, just use the built-in app switcher to close that app (swipe the app off the list to close it). That way, the phone app won't get bumped out of memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mnemoch:
Uhhhh..that doesn't close anything, just clears it from the list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I thought that too.. it seems to close fruit ninja.. the browser... so I assume it closes apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I don't have the phone yet, but in the emulator, it is able to close any app that's not running a service.
