Galaxy Nexus getting signal, 4G problems


Verizon confirmed that it was addressing a signal strength problem with its version of the Galaxy Nexus. Owners have been encountring problems with low signal that have led to either dropped calls or to problems getting 4G speeds. The company couldn't say for sure when it would be fixed, but it expected that software would fix it.

Some have speculated that the 4.0.2 update, meant to fix bugs, actually caused the problem. Most owners only had 4.0.1 for a few hours at most, however, making it impossible to say for certain that something was broken. The HSPA+ version of the Galaxy Nexus available in Canada, Europe, Japan, and Korea isn't affected by the signal drop problem.

As the Verizon phone is a Nexus using stock Android, any update could happen within days rather than the weeks or months associated with customized versions.

    w*** where is the out cry?

    Does this mean the "Death Grip" issue is back?? Could someone other than Apple be having a problem with phones and antennas?

    Just curious,

    It doesn't appear to be a "deathgrip" issue because it's not related to how (or if) the phone is held.
