Really? Let's re-examine the facts:

- 3 phones all manufactured on 12/23 all have frequent voice+data drops. It is NOT just dropping 4G to 3G or even just data. It affects voice and data - all the internal modems seem to get reset/reinitialized

- 3 phones all manufactured in November had some screen issues (which were not present in the 3 above) but their radios never had this voice+data drop (the last one did do it once, but only once in 6 days)

- The day I swap from the "bad radio" one to the "good radio" one, I had experienced 4-5 drops that day already. The "good radio" one had none the remainder of the day and only 1 in the next 6 days.

What are the chances it was a "network issue" that coincided with me swapping the phone in and out? Almost 0.

But I'm all ears if you care to explain how this is not a phone issue. :cool:

Hell no. I can't stand both of those platforms nor OSes. So just because I point out problems with the phone, it means I should abandon the phone and android entirely? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sahakiap:
id say the chances of it being a network issue, while small, are still far, far greater than the chances of you getting 7 or lord knows how many defective phones from different vendors in a row. im not going to debate you nor do i really care how many phones you go through on this quest of yours however you did post on a public forum asking for comments and i just think the issue is not these phones and you would be better suited with an iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
If you had read the posts instead of internally paraphrasing them incorrectly, you'd know that the previous one I had did not have this hardware problem. There are people reporting the same thing in other forums as well as the google bug I filed. I have seen a couple people report seeing this happen on their Nexus while sitting right next to person with another Nexus. It is just way too coincidental that the drops occurred while I had the other one and this one, yet didn't with the last one. But you can choose to believe whatever you want.

Well you apparently care enough to chime in and offer no additional information other than to dismiss a technical problem you probably can't even come close to understanding. Sounds like you're the one who should be using an iphone. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strongergravity:
Before you swap it out, what Baseband is the phone with the good voice & data running, 1515.10 or 1515.09?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
Unfortunately, I have already swapped it.

If you're referring to the LTE radio rev shown in odin mode, it was 10. But this one is a 10 also and dropped 3 times yesterday. Although it's been about 21-22 hours since the last drop. hmm...

Anyway, this is what I saw in odin on the "good" one:

Board Rev: LTE - 10

If it helps, I'm having the same exact issue and haven't been able to find a fix yet

I'm having the same problem... And no, I won't be swapping out for an iPhone/WP7 device... ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dineshbabumm:
Hello all,

My ATT Galaxy S2 had a force close error in one of the application in the middle of its usage. I decided to restart my mobile and it will never boot up. I am using CM7. I am stuck with the mobile screen showing the CM7 startup animation. It has been 12+ minute. I am able to boot into CWM. I tried fixing permissions, clearing cache partition, dalvik memory. Nothing helped. Is there any way apart from flashing a new rom to recover from this block? Any help sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,

Dinesh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Try re-installing the CM7 package (without wiping). If that doesn't work, hope that your phone is in USB debugging mode and try getting a logcat from adb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Boobie Watcher:
in CWM go to "mounts and storage" and mount system and try to flash again!

Did you find a solution to this problem yet?

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

do you mean "mounts and storage" or "update from sd card"?

by the way, did you wipe data/cache as well? will that delete the existing apps?

I have been struggling with the baseband locking up and makes the phone stop receiving and sending calls and sms.

On a hunch I disabled HSPA (2G data only) two days ago and it haven't happened since. This was on cyanogenmod nightly. I missed out on some key issues from the original ROM so tonight I installed ThaiZ ROM. Will report if I get the same success with this.

This is not a good solution but a working phone is more important to me than fast data. Until LG releases new baseband I will turn on high speed and reboot afterwards when I need fast network access.
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
I did this quite a while ago and it's a proven working method.

Reports say that the official 21B solved this issue, which is due to the way phone.apk handles network switching.

I had an HTC Aria(Liberty) running CM7. When I used it in my home location to check weather it would report I was about 30 miles away period, some other location. I went outside to get an actual GPS fix and I t would then fix the location and acting proper until the next time It would get it from wireless networks. 3g HSPA or WiFi.

Fast forward to My HTC Vivid rooted and Running holirader. I'm experiencing the same issues as for reporting false locations, I do believe mine is somewhat tied to my google account in terms of where I'm at vs. tied to my sim card. Theres no reason why these two SEPERATE devices would report the same information.

In fact it doesn't seem that it's a problem which is account related. The only thing I can say is that a-gps isn't accurate alone and you'd better use gps and a-gps together. Have you already tried?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
I don't understand why Android is such a pain in the ass to update? yakju vs. yakjuxw!? Samsung vs. Google? Some people getting 4.0.2 a month ago and some people still not having it!?

With iOS everybody gets the update at the same time and it's simple as pie. You're not going to see one person checking for an update and receiving it and another person checking for an update and showing "Your system is currently up to date." You're not going to see two identical phones from the same area on the same network showing two different status's.

What's crazy is that there are a LOT more iOS devices than there are Android 4 devices so if anything you would expect Apple to be forces to stagger updates! Why is it Google that needs to do this? Maybe I'm just venting b/c 4.0.3 is around the corner and my device is still stuck on 4.0.1. Just doesn't make sense to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
The update for 4.0.2 was halted. That's why you haven't received it.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-0-2-ota-update-for-galaxy-nexus-rolling-out-again/

OTAs are now back in effect.

Not to mention iOS is only on LITTLE amounts of devices. All these devices are unified and share the same features and specs. All iPhone 4S are identical, iPhone 4 identical, and so forth.

Android is open to all so there are more devices. Nexus devices are handled by Google (yakju, mysid). Manufacturers handle their own phones (Galaxy S2, RAZR, etc) and apply their own skins delaying OTAs.

Not to mention ICS is only on <2% of Android versions. You should be lucky that you're running Android 4.0+ you won't even notice much as it's optimization and bug fixes behind the scene. If it bothers you, flash a custom ROM with 4.0.3 on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
Calm yourself. They stagger updates to prevent widespread bug issues. It also keeps the servers from being overloaded like what happens with iOS updates (takes hours to download and update). Also, iOS updates are done through the computer and not OTA.

You'll get the updates when you get them. If you dont want to take matters into your own hands and flash the updates manually, then dont complain. Its really as simple as that. I just got my 4.0.2 update yesterday. Type *#*#CHECKIN#*#* into your dialer and see if that helps push the update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
iOS can be done OTA now.. http://www.macworld.com/article/163526/2011/11/hands_on_with_ios_over_the_air_updates.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It doesn't matter who updates your device and if you have yakju or yakjuux. Everyone gets updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yeah I edited my post again to say it's in effect again. I linked the article but forgot to mention that. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
I understand the update was halted but even when its not, it takes weeks to get out to everyone

iOS 5 was updated on a LOTTTTT more devices than Android 4.0.2.

I didn't ask about manufacturer skin updated, I'm only talking about the Nexus device right now (in particular the Galaxy Nexus). Being that Google and Samsung are updating it for everyone, why is it taking so damn long to update!? Everyone should be able to update at the same time and as they wish (like iOS). Being that manufacturers are all doing their own updates, there won't be anywhere CLOSE to as many Android devices updating at any given time as there are iOS devices which are all always on the same OS and updated simultaneously.

What's the difference if there are bug issues on some devices or all devices?! Either way they're gonna have to be fixed. Official updates aren't released until after testing for a reason!

Apple servers may overload on iOS updates but that just forces users to wait a few hours...not a few weeks! I don't see how that's a bad thing at all. Also, iOS updates have had the option to update OTA since iOS5 was released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
Thanks just tried that but didn't help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Is that a serious question? If you have a bug on 10,000 devices it is immensely easier to take care of than a bug on 100,000 devices. Updates aren't released until after testing but bugs still get out. Look at iOS with their awesome battery bug that got out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
Once again, it's a lot harder to take care of if you're updating devices over multiple weeks. If devices could be updated within a matter of hours it wouldn't be harder to take care of at all. All comes back to the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
+infinity

Google is being smarting updating in waves and seeing what each new wave brings. Then the next wave contains the little fixes like what recently happened with 4.0.2. Really, the only official updates would be 4.1, 4.2, ect. 4.0.x updates technically aren't "official" big updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's what a OTA is, it's "Over the Air" it rolls out in batches.

If everybody got the update all at the same time then downloads for the file would be significantly slower. That's why we have XDA, people obtain the download link before actually accepting it and share it. By sharing it, we can get the link and apply it manually.

All the OTA simply does is tell your phone, "hey heres the download link.. click this and it'll download" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

Google undergoes a lot of tests to bugfix their updates. After these tests are done and verified as stable, they release it in batches via OTA. These batches are like beta testers, and they will beta test it. If all is good, it will go to the next batch and slowly expand that way.

Not to mention, 4.0.2 was released on Google's website with STOCK IMAGES. You could of applied this yourself and have 4.0.2. Don't complain if you're unwilling to take control of your phone's updates when the resources are there to manually update your phone to 4.0.2 or even 4.0.3.

And you never said Galaxy Nexus, you called out the whole Android OS. You compared Android OS to iOS (hence "Android update system" compared to "iOS"). It a simple fact that manufacturer skins delay OTAs because they have to waste time and money to port their skins onto the new update.

All I'm saying is that the sources to update your phone are there. You can't say it "sucks" when the links and tools are out there but you don't want to manually update it. Instead you want a popup saying its available for your phone. Manually updating your phone doesn't affect future OTAs.

Edit: here's the link that the OTA would give you..... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21320324&postcount=82

manually flash it in stock recovery (or CWR.. shouldn't matter).

All the OTA is a simple popup saying update is here, click here to get it. It's simply just spoon feeding you the link. It's the same exact file you'd get from the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
Fair enough...I should have said Nexus vs. iOS b/c that's the only fair comparison. And are you saying if I direct my device to the appropriate link in the thread you posted that my phone will update? If it's that easy then I stand corrected...otherwise, I stand by what I said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yes I just editted my post with the link that the OTA would give you. Someone obtained it with a logcat (or app that keeps track of what goes behind the scene).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21320324&postcount=82 just manually flash it. If you use stock recovery then rename the file to update.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard.

Edit: and if you're rooted... https://market.android.com/details?...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ.. use that to keep root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
the obvious answer to this thread is that apple is one company that controls everything. this nexus has two companies involved, each wanting to do updates for one of the versions. dont ask me why this is, but its easy to see how this type of setup could not be optimal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
Haha well I just went to check for updates and lo and behold 4.0.2 was FINALLY there! Irony at it's finest...updating now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Yeah mine just came through as well... I have to say, barring updates being halted (very rare occurrence from Google btw), they always say and allow themselve a couple of weeks, but I have always gotten my update within about 4-5 days of first reports, and usually within a day or two.

And having lived through the past few generations of both Android phones (mine) and iPhones (my sisters), there really isn't too much difference (except up until iOS5 a few months ago she had to sit around a computer). Sure she might get them that night, but it takes her literally ~5-6 hours because everyone is rushing to download it, when within a day or two I usually have it.

What is truly annoying is when you are on a non-Google Experience device (AKA G1, Nexus line, Xoom, etc are Google Experience, almost everything else is not), and waiting 4-infinity months for your upgrade because of BOTH custom overlays AND carrier testing/bloat.

The beauty of Android that is not and will not be open to iPhones is that we have extremely capable devs who watch the AOSP repositories like hawks to bring everyone the latest and greatest they can, in near real-time, direct from Google engineers. On iOS one has to wait until the carefully controlled dev releases get pushed out from the magic garden to get a sneak peek.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Not sure what is wrong with your sisters internet but I've never had to wait 5-6 hours for an iOS update to download on the day it came out. My biggest issue with the roll out is that there is no communication from Google at all. The users had to figure out that the update was halted only after nobody reported an update for a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
All in honesty though. Seeing that the OTAs was back in progress since late last night. And considering it hasn't been 24 hours, I think this voids the idea that "Android system updates suck" even if you don't manually flash the update.

I just think it's a lack of announcement on Google's part on announcing the halt of 4.0.2 where I only read that there was a halt on 4.0.3 for Nexus S.

@s.m.knipe: Agreed with manufacturer skins. Try using a Galaxy S where Samsung will refuse to update Galaxy S, a best-seller phone because it cannot fit because of TouchWiz... or all of these other manufacturers releasing phones (CES 2011) with Gingerbread. The only non-Nexus device manufacturer I trust will be ASUS because they come out with timely fashioned updates. Be grateful you're running ICS in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Really? It's Comcast with the Comcastic speed of ~24 MBPS down or so. She used to set it up as she went to bed, and would send out a batch text that her phone would be out for a while. Every time I'd ask her how long it took, she'd say between 5-6 hours and complain about the internet connection speed. The speed has been fine for me (although to be fair, that 24 mbps is fairly recent, it used to sit at around 9-16 until they did some upgrades).

Google is not, nor have they ever been, particularly good at relating stuff as a company as a whole- the individual engineers have almost always been great about info (when they aren't too busy to answer). I agree though, a good PR campaign on this stuff could work wonders for them though, and more active communication on their end would nip some of the frustration people feel in the bud.
