Any feedback on this? I have it for my phone, but would rather put it on my Nook color. I know I had to modify build.props to get gameloft games going, but they're working fine. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Superguy:
Hey all,

I'm curious to how your reception is on the VZ GNex. I still have my Rezound here and it seems like I'm getting about -20db worse on the GNex compared to the Rezound. I'm curious - has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Super
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosympathy:
yeah, and it is killing me. In the same spot in my room I had my rezound, I had MUCH MUCH better signal strengh. I could keep 4G all day, which is why I switched from sprint to verizon. Thunderbolt, Droid Bionic, Rezound, all worked fine. The GN looses 4G consistantly. This might be a deal breaker for me. I am going to try a custom rom in a min when it finishes downloading, but I doubt that will help. Also am on 4.0.2.

on the thunderbolt there was a setting that allowed us to change when it "lost" 4G signal. I.E. it would allow the phone to pick up a weak signal. Does anyone know if there is a setting like this? I know the signal isn't weak in my house from the previous phones, so it is either a setting like this, or the GN has a really crappy radio...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrKleen1:
The 3g and 4g on my Nexus is very bad and not even usable. It is either dropped or barely working. Without wi-fi my phone would have been useless today.

If this isn't correct quickly I will have no choice but to go back to my Thunderbolt which was great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcp2009:
Service at my apartment just sucks but it's getting the same reception as my OG Droid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnyce87:
I had a rezound and was certainly getting a better signal, 2 things I noticed on the rezound was the battery door actually had antenna relays in it, and also there was 3 settings on the rezound for network performance (performance, normal, and battery saver)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyogtha:
I get horrible signal strength in spots, like on my way home from work there are several short distances where it just drops the signal all together.

At home, my phone seems to just drop connection completely and it's having a hard time picking it up again. Noticed this morning it had been without network access all night. Rebooted it and everything was OK (strong signal) in the exact same physical location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnyce87:
does any body know how to update roaming with this phone I tried *228 but that didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I am having similar issues in regards to network dropping out. I can understand why 4g would -being limited coverage and all- but 3g should seamlessly pick up where it drops off, plus my voice signal is much lower -100dBmw vs -85/-90dBm which I got with my OG Droid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] execute_method:
You can't update roaming on LTE devices, as the sim card automatically does it. What you can do is a "sim reset" type thing.

Power off, and leave your sim card out for like 5 minutes. Put it back in and turn on the phone. According to multiple sources, this will cause the sim to have to re-register on the network, thus refreshing/updating your privs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majorhunadadun:
Rezound is way better reception wise. Matter of fact, the Rezound is better at a lot of key things! Ima give this a chance but I gotta say I miss my Rezzy!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrKleen1:
WOW.... my Nexus data was very bad and almost unusable, but now it is fixed!

I didn't want to, but I did a factory data reset and it resolved the data issues. Everything is solid connections now and holding steady. Before the signal was bouncing all over the place.

Give the factory data reset a try if you are having issues. Yes you have to start over but it's better than having a phone that doesn't work.

Phew... now I am happy again! I really thought I was going to have to go back to my Thunderbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
OK. I did some digging. I recommend all users download an app called sensorly. It would appear that the reported signal strength by default is 4G. Currently, my 4G is is teetering at -100dBm to no signal and that shows on my phone as no bars. However, I discovered that my 3G is at -90 dBm (excellent coverage). From what I have researched it would appear that the phone has issues handshaking between 3G and 4G which I am sure will be corrected in an OTA update.

If I go to Settings-Wireless & Networks-More-Mobile Networks-Network Mode-CDMA/LTE and switch to CDMA only my bars come up and my dBm appears normal in settings.

I am pretty confident this is a LTE/3G handshake issue. Just like when you leave your home and you are still barely connected to wifi and the phone doesn't know what to use, so all of your apps fail trying to connect. I think it is just the same.

Anyway, I hope this helps others. It has made me less neurotic finding this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssblood:
I had the rezound and returned it because of the headphone noise. Got the nexus and it gets terrible signal and speeds where the rezound was great. Called Verizon and they are sending me another Rezound and told me it shouldn't have the audio problems. We shall see. I just know that the nexus is unusable in my house due to reception.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
I've been using the mhl adapter from t-mobile but can't seem to get NFL to show on screen. It shows the home screen on the TV but no NFL:( I'm assuming because copyrighted material won't play):

I saw on the market RealHdmi (that will show copyright materials) but its for droidX.

Anyone know what we can do about that?

Or should I be able to see NFL app already?

Any help/knowledge on this would be appreciated....

[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
Look but don't touch huh? Ah.. maybe this something I should already know. I saw a couple other threads but no one mentioned the limitations of mhl/hdmi.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I'm guessing netflix would be the same. Not sure if there is a way around it. I don't have the cord to try it out.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
I just verified that the when the MHL adapter is plugged in, you can't watch the videos or live TV. The TV is black screen. When you back out of the video the content on the phone shows on the TV again. Sounds like something some dev needs to try and take care of. You can watch it on your phone but not output it? That's dumb!!!

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

I got rid of my netflix account so I can't try it!
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
NetFlix & Slingbox work fine for me, only the NFL app is blocked.

~John
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
NFL likes doing these things. you pay to watch, but that only includes YOU. they don't want you showing games on a TV with other people around because they won't make the money off it. pretty sure netflix output works, haven't gotten me an adapter yet. but blame the NFL (unless it works on other phones?) although it could be possible to hack the app to turn off detection.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Sorry but hacking the NFL app is like asking to be sued back into the dark ages. Those are some of the most richest and money hungry people around and they don't take kindly to people using their copyrighted(out the wazoo) material in a way that they don't approve of.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
If you have to have that app so bad, go to T-Mobile. :)
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
I'll except any annoyance from the NFL. They've earned that imo. Just hoping someone knew a way and I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything to prevent it myself.

Also..... droidTV is working which is more than good enough for me. Might have to re-subscribe to Netflix.

[Nexus S General] nickmv:
So, it's been a hell of a year. Just 1 year ago, we were talking about how awesome Gingerbread would be. And now look where we are.Tons of ROMs, the latest and greatest always at our fingertips, the first shot at ICS, and now Gingerbread is.....well, that OLD system that others use :D. The superb kernels, the undervolting, the backlight notifications, deep idle, the list goes on.

Anyways, tomorrow, Dec 16th, marks the 1st birthday of the Nexus S.

Everyone celebrate and crackflash yourself the latest ICS kang.

:p:D

Nexus S + CM9 kangs = Awesomeness ;)
[Nexus S General] frenchbigdog:
Hope Google will sent to NS owners a present for his first birthday tomorrow ! Like, I don't know, an update for exemple ! :P

NS, my favorite.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
I was looking for one single reason to exchange my NS for a GN, but I cant find a convincing one. I have it for 11 months, it is working perfectly and I really love it. I think official ICS will stop my desire for a GN completly :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I was doing the same thing but as everyday passed by, I became more and more obsessed with the galaxy Nexus and gave in. Definitely a huge improvement from the nexus s.Everything feels a lot smoother and responsive. Not to mention the beautiful screen size.
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
I rly love the amount of stuff available for the ns! Lets hope the devs don forget where they came from! Haha and keep developing for the ns although they got a gn! ;D

Also hoping for a birthday present! :P
[Nexus S General] mmas0n:
I bought mine early that morning and still love it. One year old and still getting faster and smoother. Also still the best phone for its size in my opinion. GN is too big.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
True.. I bought mine in september :D. GN is way too big.. galaxy note is 5".. :| why are they keep getting bigger and bigger :(
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Don't bash the screen size until you actually try one out in person ;)

Nexus S is still a great phone, don't get me wrong on that.

Just after using a big screen for 5 minutes, it gets me addicted to it :p

Keep in mind that its not actually 4.65" fully... a portion of that screen size is used for screen navigation buttons. So it scales down to 4.5ish" maybe?
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
I will be getting the GN regardless of ICS for NS4G but I will be getting it when a 3rd party company sells it for $100

I dont justify spending more than $100 on a phone regardless let alone $600

Its a recession!! lol

OK I give if I didnt have to pay rent ($600 is almost what I pay lol) I would get the GSM international one and put it on TMO (or att not sure)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
$100 for a non-contracted phone? good luck! that could happen in 2013-2014 but not anytime soon lol.

I bought the Galaxy Nexus for $685 from Negri Electronics. Actually pretty satisfied with it but it was really hard to justify the purchase, but once I started using it... I just felt like that was how the Nexus S of should of been day one because Nexus S was released when dual-cores were already making their way to phones.
[Nexus S General] mmas0n:
I've held and used one. I don't have impish hands or anything but I find the GN to be just barely too large for comfortable one-handed operation.

The larger screen is nice and I'd LOVE to have more pixel real estate but for me the Nexus S is the ideal chassis size. Plus, I have a 10" tablet so the larger screen on the phone is less appealing.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Yeah I have a tablet too (same one you have actually). I guess the thing that really enticed me was the 720p HD display with the resolution.

The resolution was the big seller for me with 1280x720. Everything just looked less cluttered. But definitely agree with you on that part that with one hand it feels a bit weird but the GN feels better in the hand. Hopefully it will become more comfortable over time as I have a case coming in.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
LOL I meant on contract of course I dont mind giving my soul for another two years

I am patient lol

A factory reset is NOT needed!!

---------------------------------------------

i decided to do a fresh restart of my phone so i poewred it down, and did a battery pull after the phone was completely off. turned it back on, gets to lock screen, i unlock......sits..loading...screen goes black, and whattya know, white HTC splash screen. a few times. it's bootlooping!

Basically, with the cover off, it stopped bootlooping..therefore, it was a NETWORK ISSUE.

EDIT* this WORKED! anyone who has this issue please do the following: (source http://www.droidforums.net/forum/htc-rezound/184994-rezound-stuck-boot-loop.html)

STEP 1: TAKE BATTERY COVER OFF. this will prevent the phone from trying to connect to the network.

*#*#4636#*#* Under phone info you will find that the network is factory set to WCDMA Preferred... I guess the SIM card decides sometime along the way that it doesn't like that much... Setting the network to CDMA EVDO/LTE - Auto completely corrects the problem

another poster said that after you do this, hit home, power down the phone, pull sim card out, put it back in, then reset it. i didn't do this; i just went back, put the battery cover on, it froze like usual, reset itself, and now it's working perfectly.

**UPDATE** A few people are saying that along with taking off their battery cover, they have to REMOVE THEIR SIM CARD AS WELL! i did not have to do this, but some people did. take that into consideration!

(brockeverly stated:

You may have to take your SIM out for this to work. I did even with the back off. Aside from that, this works fantastic.)

for some reason, this is what happens: under phone info, as it says, it will reset to WCDMA Preferred for NO reason whatsoever! this must have happened when i shut my phone down; other people are reporting that doing "reboot" does this frequently for them! this is the first time in my month of ownership i saw this happen, so this was new to me...but thankfully, we have a fix!

As another way of doing this, Marclile said:

"For anyone interested, you can download this app and get straight into that config menu.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geoffreybuttercrumbs.lteswitch

I use it to switch from "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" to "CDMA auto (PRL)". The CDMA auto setting doesn't seem to have the reboot problem, so you should be able to put it on that if you don't want 4G turned on all the time."
[HTC Rezound] MrHawaii:
This happened to me also. Take out the battery, press and hold the volume down button and press and hold the power button. This gets you to the boot leader menu. Use the volume keys to move your selection up and down. Use the power button to select, I forgot if you select clear storage or factory reset. Best of luck.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
thanks dude.

seems that right now, i can boot it with the back cover OFF.

once i put the back cover on, the phone FREEZES and then reboots itself.

has anyone seen this issue before?!
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Hmm

So freezes once signal is involved? Hmm. Bad sim card? Faulty Hardware?

Sorry to hear about your problem and hope you get it fixed easily.

Good luck Bro.

[HTC Rezound] ppmp22:
This is exactly what happened to my first Rezound. I tried to reboot, but got stuck in a bootloop. The phone would boot normally with the battery cover off and stay functional until I put the cover back on. After that, it would start bootlooping again. I'm scared to even reboot this one because of this issue.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
ppmp, read my first post! there's an EASY fix! it's because the phone sometimes switches network modes when you shut it down or reboot it on it's own....nobody knows why, but i guarantee your old phone was set to WCDMA when it should be set to CDMA/LTE Auto
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If you use an LTE Toggle app it will get you to the same menu without having to remember codes.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:

Had this happen while I was temp rooting Friday. Figured it was a problem with the tool... Factory reset fixed it, but I wish I would have seen this sooner.
[HTC Rezound] skynet3132:
has happened to me twice already. first time was the morning after i bought the phone, and the second was a couple weeks ago. both times i had to do a factory reset. NOT happy that it does this, and have expressed this to big red (like they care) for annotation purposes on my account.

good to know there is a fix. next time this happened, i was gonna jump ship for the GN. having doubts after seeing it for myself at the store tho...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
personally, i think this should be a sticky....no, not because i'm the OP :P but because it's a problem a lot of us are seeing.
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Agreed. I would have loved not to have done a factory reset
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
stickied :) thanks steve!

i was THIS close to doing a factory reset..this all happened at like 1am one night when i had to be up at 8 for work, and i was so mad lol..i was frantically searching for a solution..and thankfully one was found!
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
Hey jayochs... Looks like the link got messed up when you quoted me in your OP.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
whoops! fixed!
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
cool. thanks for the quote by the way :)
[HTC Rezound] f3liC:
This seems to happen to me every time the phone dies and runs completely out of juice so for me, the best way to avoid it is just to not let the phone die.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
really? interesting. my phone died COMPLETELY last night and thanfully when i turned her back on, she was fine.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
i honestly think it is completely random. it happened to me again yesterday. all i did was reboot my phone 2 times in a row. i didn't even change anything or install anything... first reboot went fine, i immediately rebooted again and when it came back up, it started bootlooping.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
You may have to take your SIM out for this to work. I did even with the back off. Aside from that, this works fantastic.
[HTC Rezound] dustintheweb:
Came here to say this. +1
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Mine was set to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" out of the box.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
they all are. that's standard. that's 4g mode.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
The first post said "Under phone info you will find that the network is factory set to WCDMA Preferred" so I was expecting to see that in my phone.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, that's what's listed when you have this bootlooping issue.

when the phones normal, it sohuld say the cdma/lte auto.
[HTC Rezound] DaPitt84:
IM confused by what exactly to do with this. Cleared storage and factory reset. And still infinite loop.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
have you tried what i wrote? take the back cover off, let the phone load without a signal. then go into that menu, see if it's on WCDMA; if so, change it to LTE/CDMA Auto like it says..then reboot and put back cover on.
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
This has happened to me many times, it seems to be mostly if I Temp Root and/or if VZW is having Signal issues.

What works for me EVERY TIME that it happens:

-Pull Battery out.

-Pull SIM card out.

-Put Battery back in and boot normally.

-Go into: Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode

-Whatever your phone currently says, switch to the other option. (You have two choices: LET/CDMA or CDMA Only)

-Power off phone

-Remove battery

-Insert SIM card

-Put battery in, boot form normally.

I have done this at least 5 times and it has always worked for me. The battery cover can be on or off during the process and it works either way.
[HTC Rezound] DaPitt84:
I get it now. The phone was done. No matter what it wouldn't boot. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
This problem is just really messed up. So I haven't rebooted my phone in a couple of days and just for the heck of it, I went into that config menu and it was set to "WCDMA preferred". As I was sitting at that screen it changed by itself back to "CDMA auto (PRL)".

And now, if I go back into that menu, it is back to "WCDMA preferred". And if I change it to "CDMA auto (PRL)" or "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto", exit out of that menu and go right back into it, it's back to "WCDMA preferred".
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
uh oh, that's not good. wtf. gotta alert htc of this as well now :\
[HTC Rezound] ScottAA:
Thank you so much for posting this fix - if I hadn't found it my night and most of tomorrow would have been shot.

I wonder if I should expect this problem to recur. At least if it does I'll be able to fix it quickly.

Since this fixed my problem I didn't need to contact HTC or Verizon, I wonder if there's somewhere I should report it so they know the problem is affecting people.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Ugh, I just had this issue. This is such a dumb problem to have!

Everytime I put the back on my phone it does it.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

This is still happening, even with playing around with all options in those settings.

It also turned off my data roaming and set it to Deny.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Working, for now. I think the network might be down over here because when I have signal I barely hold 1x. I typically have full reception in my house.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
wouldn't surprise me if the network was down lol...so it keeps bootlooping with the back cover OFF!? it shouldn't..if it does, thats a new problem :(
