has anyone had issues with EDGE on their nexus one? somehow i get way better performance using the internet at home with an HTC Tilt htan i do my nexus one. is there anything i can do?
i don't live in an area with 3G coverage, so i don't think that's the issue.
No Edge issues here. why dont you just use y5 + wifi at home?

Phone shows 3-4 bars of 3G and I get nothing but errors like , Page unavailable...this app needs data connection....etc. Sometimes if I disable mobile network and re-enable it it will work for a few minutes but then gone. Am I the only one ? I searched briefly . Nothing informative . Help please .
Call att and tell them to connect you to the specialist, i had the same problem and i was literally on the phone with him for 10 seconds and he fixed it

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

My note always receive low wifi singals n low speed while other devices like ipad n sensation have full signals...can someone help me with that...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA Premium App
The wifi signal icon sucks.
Its mean nothing...
If you wanna see the real strength of your wifi, check with "wifi analyzer" or similar from market...

Bt even the download is slower thn other devices
hey dude from th photo the note has 3 lines full which is same with i-pad
just joking hahahaha
I agree about the Wifi. In areas where Wifi is weaker, my iPod Touch performs far better than the Note in connecting
Same issue with me from past two days of usage.
Which version of OS are you using as mine is DDLA1(Unrooted) and I am facing the same issue, I can say this because I have used older firmware version(DDKL1) earlier that was rooted and wifi was excellent.
Never had this problem with all the version I went through. Now I'm on stock rooted LB1

I agree completely. The Notes wifi is quite weak. Can a new modem improve this?

the wifi signal is comapriably slower than my old hd2, side by side they are both connected via n signal to the router, note is showing 52mb and the hd2 running android is showing 58mb
I get much better connection on the other side of my house than any previous phone or tablet. I must say that even a couple of metres from the router I can get only a couple of 'bars', but download is still very fast.

Even i have been experiencing the same problem and with that my wifi also loses its network some times. ....also its slower my other phones
Modem does not control wifi.

I am on basebans lb1 and build lb2
In my case I experience the same low bar and slow speeds. But worst of all, I can't connect to my wireless N router (only G) , the Note doesn't even see it!
I'm on ICS MidNote 2.0
Any ideas?

Do a search (not being mean/rude, just not at a computer to find it for you) about WiFi on the Note in either this or the Q&A section. I read about a month ago that there's a text file that contains the authorized WiFi bands for your country, and since there's no US ROM the bands listed are incorrect. Of course you have to be rooted to change it (which you are), but I'm not so just living with G.

I rooted my device yesterday and flashed AbyssNote Kernel 4.2 and Wifi seems to work fine.
i also got this wifi problems, the htc desire hd got a much better signal
This is a big issue with my Note too. Sometimes signal will be showing aa strong, but then I get message....cannot connect to the server. Compared it to my s2, and the s2 had no problems making a connection.

Why there is no 3G model for this tablet, aside from the beautiful display 3G is a breaking point for me. I could use USB modem but it uses the same port used for charging so it won't be so practical. Any ideas if Google might or might not introduce a 3G model later as it did with the nexus 7?
Sent from my JW101A using xda app-developers app
I think they will introduce a 3g modal. But for now just tether with your phone!:
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
I agree. 3G + SDXC support would have made this tablet a market killer.
I don't want to pay for a separate sim card when I can tether to my s3 on a 3 unlimited data plan. Besides prob not taking mine out of the house much, when I get it.

Buy a MIFI which gives you 3g without using the USB port at no more cost than waiting for the 3g version to arrive.
You will also get better reception with a MIFI for it is designed to do just that and you can place it in the best place to get a good signal and use the tablet where it is most comfortable.
If you own a laptop or other tablet then you can use the MIFI as a hotspot for those as well.
It also means your tablet can be used when your phone is not nearby to tether.

MIFI devices normally have batteries fitted and some have a display showing signal strength and the amount of data downloaded so you can keep an eye on cost.
Check out Amazon which have a good selection,

Thanks for the info, do you know what kind of battery life to expect on them? Would it cover a 3 hour train journey for example?

You should have no problem finding a MIFI with a battery that lasts -3-hours.
I have no sim for my Nexus 4. I tether to my VZW Galaxy Nexus. However, it seems I'm being throttled. While connected I run speed test. It starts slow then jumps up to normal speeds.. 20mbs. When I download or get on the web my speed is very slow. To download a 120mb file takes at least 30 min.
When using my works WiFi, speeds are normal. Downloads are as they should be. It's something to do with the hotspot. I've searched for another thread with this issue and can't find any answers.
I've also tethered my Nexus 7 and laptop to my Galaxy Nexus and speeds are normal. This only happens with the Nexus 4. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated... Sorry to add another thread in this maze.

Man, I just can't find a fix for this. Been through many different ROMs on both phones, searched the net and settings and can find no answer. I put an active att sim card in to no avail. Such an odd situation. Unfortunately this is my only access to speeds above .5 mbs at home. Again, any ideas would be great.

I'm seeing the same results. I'm using a LTE xoom as a hotspot, and getting terrible speeds on the N4. Other devices, including the Galaxy Nexus, are all doing fine.
Why would you buy a Nexus 4 only to connect to a Verizon hotspot????

Who said I bought it? It's the only way to get wifi at work. Cant get AT&T or T-mobile signals in the building
I have unlimited data on VZW and LTE everywhere I go. However, at my home, no one offers home internet besides satellite. I get much better speeds on VZW hotspot.
I love nexus devices. I wanted the nexus 4. So I bought one. Luckily however impractical, I can afford all this. T-Mobile and att have no service at my home, so getting rid of VZW isn't an option.
I do now have att and T-Mobile plans. Having an active Sim didn't make a difference. I didn't think it would but I held out hope Lol.

I am having a similar issue with my Nexus 4 (with Tmobile Sim) connecting to my Hotspot on my Thunderbolt (Verizon). When connected to my hotspot, my download speeds are stuck around .5 mbps but upload speeds are normal. The Nexus 4 has no issues at all when connecting to my wifi at home or at work, and other devices connected to my Hotspot have no issues. My friend who has his Nexus 4 flashed to CM 10 (also with TMo sim) has no issues when connected to his hotspot on his Note 2 (Verizon).
It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back

It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android
If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.
