[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dajinn:
my signal always drops whenever i start using the phone. the 3G connectivity is pretty solid but that isn't really saying a whole lot. the nexus for me is able to keep a good hold on 1-2 bars of 3G, but i'm lucky to get more than 1Mb down. Whenever I enable LTE I always get nothing more than 2 bars of 4G, and whenever I start using the phone, is when the LTE decides to drop.

bare with me while i explain my use of 4chan. there is an app on the market called chant for browsing image boards, i notice that while browsing threads sometimes the 4G will just drop and take ~10 seconds to reconnect, if it doesnt i get 3G and all in all the process is just tiresome because it HAPPENS.EVERY.TIME. no matter what radios i use, no matter what rom i use(i've used the leaked 4.0.4, codename: android, and android revolution HD). it also happens if i just decide to start browsing the web on my phone. it is VERY irritating!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deaffob:
No remorse what so ever. To me, the reason why I buy and stick with Android OS is because of the abilities that it provides through modding. With my previous phones, MyTouch3G, Droid 3, Fascinate, and Incredible 2, I had to constantly deal with OEM's update delays and locked bootloaders. I'm happy with Galaxy Nexus because we get the updates the first and we have completely unlocked bootloader.

If I only cared about the battery life, portability, style, etc.. I would've gone with iPhone. Android is my choice because I can tinkle with it and this phone is the best phone out right now to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Were you using the T-Mo GS2? The euro variant (I9100) gets much better battery life than the Crapdragon version.

Maybe I'll try the 2000 mAh Samsung extended out and see if that helps at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Yes....I am not that rich to buy phones from Europe unlocked! :p

I sold my s2 for 450 and got the nexus unlocked for 600!

Good read for those who are complaining about 4G signal strength (bars).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The problem is Anandtech never took into consideration just EvDo. I sit at -75 hooked to a tower that does not have LTE enabled on it. My Thunderbolt gets -57 in the same spot.

So while it is great it reports LTE, it does not explain the inconsistent 3G results, or the fact that my Bolt can get 4G where my Nexus cannot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dennis_:
Aye. My stratosphere seem similar to my nexus in all honesty. Obviously your phone is not working the same as your thunderbolt. I was not trying to discount the 3G issue or the switching from 4G to 3G issue. Just wanted to show the 4G reporting because that is how I was understanding some of the issues.

Sorry I can not help further, for me (living about 2 hours north of Seattle with only 3G) I get wonderful signal and only drop signal rarely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dajinn:
i hate whenever i try to look up actual CONNECTIVITY issues or post about them and someone always chimes in /w the "perceived reception" problems. no where am i claiming that i feel like the phone is mis-representing its reception or signal, rather, I am saying that the phone can't hold onto a signal to save its life!

You must be talking about a different AT&T from the one I'm familiar with. All carriers treat their customers like crap, but AT&T is certainly on the cutting edge of customer reaming.

I would happily switch back to AT&T or to T-Mobile if their network coverage was even comparable to Verizon. This is anecdotal, I know, but I've yet to drop a single call on Verizon with my Nexus. I couldn't even hold a conversation when I was on AT&T at my house. T-Mobile's coverage is an even bigger joke.

I truly feel that GSM is a better standard, but GSM carriers in the US happen to suck.

By the way, if you're going to buy a GSM Nexus outright (that is, without a contract), use an MVNO like StraightTalk or SimpleMobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
Canadian here :). I'm currently on an unlimited call/text/data plan all for $40/month. At first I had a bit of remorse going from my iphone 4 to this, primarily for the battery. But after setting up a new ROM, finding apps on the market which are similiar/better to the iphone equivalent, I am completely satisfied with my Gnex. I love being able to customize the software to this degree.

The speeds seem fine to me and it feels like a fully featured phone. I don't have 4g, it's a bit lacking in Canada but I'm not really the type to take full advantage of that. I doubt I will require 4g speeds on my phone, 3g is more than enough.

Overall, as my first android phone, I will never go back to Apple, and I think it will take quite the phone to take my eyes off the Nexus line of phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Some networks work better in certain areas than others. Get over it and go with what works best for where you will use it. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crookone10:
I honestly have great reception and call quality. Im using the unlocked GSM version on ATT and I average data speeds around 5 mbps have seen speeds around 9 mbps before too..don't think I've ever even dropped a call and I've been on Gnex since beginning of December.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
CDMA radio performance is not great. It also wasn't great on the Sprint Nexus S 4G, which is also a Samsung device. All sorts of complaints and "I'm returning if not fixed within 30 days (return period)" when the phone was released. I have no idea if it was ever fixed, since I ended up moving to a different phone as well. My sprint htc evo 3d gets a better 3G signal roaming on Verizon's network than my Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus when they are sitting right next to one another. I like the GNex too much to return it and switch to a phone with a locked bootloader or Sense ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Every post i see on this subject says the cdma version gets just crap reception. But my gsm version honestly gets the same dBm as all my previous phones, which is excellent. Even in areas of -109dBm the nexus matches it.

I feel bad for cdma owners. How could samsung screw up that bad on cdma?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
I'm going to agree with this, at least in my case. I'm in UK and contrary to other people who have no problems with their GSM Galaxy Nexus mine frequently drops network in areas where my HTC Wildfire manages to maintain a signal.

Not sure if it is faulty hardware, sub-standard components, software issues, SIM card or whatever, I've been naively hoping that an update would arrive from google to save the day but that looks increasingly unlikely.

After spending £500 on the thing I would like to get to the bottom of the trouble - I like the device for doing the non phone related tasks but as a phone it is proving unreliable for me.

We nexus users have had ics for months....other major phones don't even have it and probably won't for another couple months...by then, we will have jelly bean! Go ahead and downgrade yourself!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Have fun with Sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
This right here. There are other phones out there that are better hardware wise than the GNexus but nothing is going to come close to the dev support and the fact that it's vanilla Android. Some people don't appreciate that but after coming from Motoblur and Sense, there is no way in hell I could go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crimsonshadow774:
I've had my Gnex for a month and I've never had a problem. Always have great signal, and speeds. I travel a lot too btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gmanunited:
There is a lot going on behind the scenes that Verizon is not willing to share with the general public about their network. Big Red Clearly has the best network coverage and they are reinvesting in their network.....BUT CDMA technology would keep up capacity consistently as well as with the number of users so this is why they are putting so much into their LTE Network.

I think the hand off between CDMA/LTE is the issue with the GNEX and other phones on their network. This is why so many people are having issues leading to negatives about the GNEX experience. I have a GSM model no LTE but HSPA which is fast enough for me. To Big Reds credit they seem to be forward thinking even getting the GNEX on the network is a positive. But unfortunately their Cell tech. is an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well said. I think people are having trouble realizing that believe it or not, Verizon's LTE network is in its infancy. They're still having problems with basic network performance and devices that are to be expected with a new network. Everyone running LTE right now on VZW is a beta tester for their network.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
pretty funny stuff here. Try this: pick any random phone from the myriads of devices represented on XDA Developers over the years and you will find a thread identical to this one. All of the exact same issues too. I can't begin to recall all of the radio related threads I've participated in. Bottom line is that each new phone has its own set of reception idiosyncracies. Other phones will always perform better in certain areas for God knows what reasons. There are so many people who own any given phone that statistics alone predict this sort of thread.

For those who got the bad end of the stick, I feel your pain; you need to find a device which works best in your area if that is really your highest priority reason for owning a device such as this one.

I have good coverage in Milwaukee WI with my GNex. I also had a real good coverage in the Norcross GA region when I was there recently so I'm lucky I guess. However, in the past, even with bad coverage (my TyTN was horrible but when it lit up "3G" for the first time ever one day, the feeling was indescribable to me) I've held onto phones for different reasons that were personal to me. The GNex is a developer phone which gives it the clear lead in my mind. There are myriads of ROMs and the leading edge of Android to its credit. Everybody who sees my phone loves the saturated colors of its AMOLED screen. Most importantly, with its unlocked bootloader and full AOSP support, I can start developing again. The AOSP knowledge base is far better than anything I ever had on Windows Mobile!

Yeah, I'm sticking with this one for a while.

You can't do it yet on aosp. Anything above 185 will do. Try 200, it will be nice. Also, use Nova launcher.

Hello I could not find a answer on this. I ran the new rc6.9 v6 supercharger. My wife's phone is stock rom and rooted. I have it 50% supercharged but it is not letting the min free men to stick. I know on my eclipse I would have to delete the min free from the 98 tweeks file. Do I need to do the same for a stock run? If so what file I can not find it. Thanks in advanced.

Edit: I know most people including myself are on custom roms. However if you happen to want the stock blur crap then you need to make sure you do an additional step to make the values stick. Besides running the script as root you also have to go into the V6 folder and fing 99supercharger.sh and run that at boot. Then your new values will stick.

How or where do I find this "original stock kernel (zImage file)"

can somebody tell me how I can speed it up
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Rock:
flash galaxytask 14 and use an alternative launcher if you want.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
The best way for anyone to help you get to where you want to be is for us to know for sure where exactly you are;)

I agree your best bet is to switch to Task 14 and if that happens to be your custom ROM already there are more steps to help you get rid of the lag than just the ROM.

If you can't figure which custom ROM you're on, it would be best, IMHO, to start by going to the development section and Task 14 thread.

Hope this helps.

[Q] "The process com.android .phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again...

Yes, I'm a noob! I hope I am in the right place.

I have an LG P505R. It was locked to Rogers. I purchased a set of unlock codes, and entered the appropriate one - it says the phone is unlocked.

All is well when I use a Rogers SIM. However, when I install a T-Mobile SIM, I get the error: "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close." every two seconds or so. Practically makes the phone unusable! :(

I would have said it was the SIM chip - except that this SIM chip works in a V3, and V3i, and a Samsung Galaxy SGH-i896 with no issues!

HELP!
[General Questions and Answers] lloydvh:
Update...

OK, took the phone to a cell shop. They reflashed the phone for free (just in case). This is a Rogers phone and I was trying a t-mobile chip. The problem persisted with my chip.

The guy at the store had an active t-mobile chip which he installed, anf his worked fine! :)

I was heading to the US anyways, so I was going to go talk to T-Mobile about this. However, as soon as I crossed into the USA, the error went away! I was in the USA for 3 days, no problems at all.

As soon as I got back into Canada... the error shows up again! :confused:
