Why I am saying good by to my Galaxy Nexus.

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for 13 days and I enjoyed it but it is time to say good bye. I had no problem with build quality and I love pure ICS but the radios are not up to par. I can't get an signal in the same places my 3D could. So as much as I like the phone it as to go.

In the same boat and may return mine today to order an EVO LTE.

Question - do you actually have trouble getting a signal (3G/wifi/GPS) where you could before? Or do you have a signal, but the bars are just lower than expected on your GNex? I certainly have low bars across the board with mine compared to my other EVO 4G and EVO Design, but I haven't actually dropped calls or had no signal when needed. Concerned about not having a signal when traveling though.

Overall, I really like the GNex more and more each day, but I'm at the point where I need to return it probably today or tomorrow. The fact that it's a concern at all is probably enough for me to return it. The EVO LTE will be just as nice or better in some areas, so I'm not really losing anything major for my heavy business use.

With my Evo 3D I could sit in the middle of my living room and get a signal. Even though I only had one bar it never dropped a call. But with the Nexus it would drop calls, or I could not get out at all. I never had a problem with gps and the wifi signal is strong in any room in my apartment.

Yep, my EVO OG would pull wifi throughout my three level house, but the Nexus is struggling. 3G same thing. GPS? Forget it.

I think the EVO LTE will be a good upgrade for both of us coming from your EVO 3D and my OG.
