Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software coming

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

I too am concerned. I can't deal with my phone getting barely any quality signal in my house. I'm probably going to flash the leaked radios and see if they help. If they don't, the nexus may be going back.

Please let us know what you find if you do flash it.

I agree, let us know how it goes. I just got back from Verizon and the rep told me that 3g/4g isn't good in the area I live in. I live 1 mile away from the LTE tower. Interesting..

I said that once to a Verizon rep back when I was having with the tbolt. The rep told me the tower might be too high over me. :what:

AnandTech - Investigating the Galaxy Nexus LTE Signal Issue

THat is no investigation. It happened right infront of my eyes last night when I was using the phone last night and this morning when I showed it to my friend, this is what happened, Using it for 30 mins and boom the signal dropped and no data for 2 mins, then it came back on. This morning, my friend looking at my phone and it happened again. It does not happen all the time but it does happen.

I dont give a damn about dbm's I want a stable signal. I had razr for 3 weeks and boy I never lost 4g in a 4g area, including my house, that is included in bloody red color of 4g.

Nexus goes form 3 bars to no bars sometimes and that should not happen. I admit it doesn't happen all the time and happens probably every few hours, but there is something wrong with the radio software.

This guy seems like went out to prove his own opinion and tried to make users dumb and droid-life and phandroid post it on their front page and calling 4g issues an imagination. Really? It is not like some google engineer took his euipment and showed us that it wasn't an issue.

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

I did call Verizon and spoke with a nice lady. She mentioned that the people in the stores are tools so if I don't get any help there, she'll hook me up. I'm not sure what that means but hopefully this patch or whatever does something.

It was interesting that the Razr got 15Mb/s Download and my Nexus gets 3 - 6Mb/s. *sigh*

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

I am experiencing this a little as well. Never a super strong 4G signal and sometimes drops to just regular service but comes back in a bit. Probably not supposed to happen but not even close to a deal breaker for me. A fix will come and we should get it quickly. I love my Galaxy Nexus.

This Is Why Your Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Or Other 4G LTE VZW Phone) Is Losing Its Data Connection

Cool your jets and actually read what he wrote. Dropping the signal is NOT a reception issue. As a matter of fact, it has jack squat to do with what he was writing about. There is no reception issues on 4G with the nexus. Period. Frankly, I'll take the word of someone with extensive RF engineering knowledge over you or anyone else here any day of the week.

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

Been reading this forum past three weeks to help me learn all I could about the GN before buying. Great info on the boards. Thanks. But, officially joined JUST now, though, to share what I've just witnessed on my gn as I was reading this thread...kind of ironic.

Been noticing drops in my data connectivity, too. Thought Verizon in my area was having issues. Was kind of embarassing yesterday when I was bragging about my new phone when I realized I WAS having connectivity issues...and it was my phone...not Verizon. "oh yeah....nice new phone you got there." Anyway, because I've been having bad battery drain, I turned off my 4g to see if it would help. So I can tell y'all its NOT a problem that occurs due to the phone switching between 4g going to 3g because I have 4g turned off. While reading this thread, reading my dad the comments about the issue, sure enough...bam...internet randomly dropped. I wasn't moving around--just sitting on my couch. I need to mention I live in Salt Lake where I first noticed the problem. But am now 1.5 hours north, and thus, obviously not on the same towers...but still same issues, and seem to be getting worse.

Same here I have random drops in service specially on 4G, never happend with Razr. It happens a few times a day. Thats the only complain I have, people say it has nothing to with bar, which could be true, but no one cares to explain that why 4g drops when all the bars drops? Yea thats what I thought. All bars drop and than 4g symbol goes away and takes it 30-60 seconds for it to pick up the signal again.

So my personal experience doesn't count? I am too dumb to understand that when 4g drops and there is no signal that it is not a signal issue, or my razr could connect to 4g signal 24/7 in the same coverage area? I don't give a damn if someone is an RF engineer, 4g drops in best coverage area where the other phone never drops is an issue. Sorry I am educated enough to understand this , I would take my own experience of two phones over some guy on the internet who clearly calls it my imagination. I am calm, I am keeping this phone in hopes that Google will take care of this.

Droping a signal is not a reception issue? Common man! May be you call it something else but I certainly call it a reception issue when it can't recieve a signal. I never said it happens all the time, all I said was it does happen, if I had not been looking at the phone I would have never noticed.

LEAK: New CDMA/LTE radios for the Galaxy Nexus

This looks promising...

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

I was having weak 4g signals in a typical heavy 4g area. But, like I mentioned, I switched LTE off to save battery. But, data did drop on 4g and now I see it happens even when I'm straight 3g. I also noticed, when the net goes down...I'll have full bars for calls, but the 3g icon suddenly disappears and the bars go gray instead of blue. It takes a few minutes, I'll hit refresh button, turn the browser on and off, or I give up and do nothing, then randomly the bars turn blue again and the 3g icon pops back on.

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles, but the leaked radios show no improvement whatsoever. Reported signal is identical, speeds are identical (if not worse), and handoff to 3G is actually significantly worse. I'm very disappointed right now. I really don't know what the deal is, but the speeds are sort of pathetic.

damn.... that isn't good.

Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi

Just for kicks when I restored my phone to stock, I reinstalled 4.0.1 and its radios. Speeds were MUCH improved, but the radios were completely unstable. Wonder if that's why the shipping radios ended up being slow.
