Mobile Networks with Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi can anyone help me with my mobile network connection please?
I'm currently living in Canada and my cellphone provider is Wind Mobile. Every time I go on the skytrain I need to switch off my mobile networks but it's such a hassle and I sometimes forget. Wind sucks at getting signal in the skytrain stations, so I was wondering is there an app or feature to quickly switch my mobile networks on and off so I don't need to search for Wind Home every time I get out of the skytrain stations to find signal?
Thanks so much!

How do you block certain cell networks?

Hey guys,
I live pretty close to the border with China and in a tall building. every so often, I notice that I am roaming on a chinese cell tower when I am at home!
This is an immense pita so I went into settings and under network preferences, I made sure the offending network was unchecked and moved all the way to the bottom of the networks list.
It still connects to the roaming network. Am I using this wrong? I used to have a similar issue with my P3600i and eventually switched to manual networks as it was the only thing I could get to work.
Is there a way I can tell the phone to never connect to xxxxx network?
Thanks

Leo always jumping networks while roaming?

My HD2 seems to act funny when I am abroad/roaming networks. At home on my own network (orange France) its stable and always has very good reception. When I am abroad for work mostly in Germany its constantly jumping networks...You check the phone/quality of network and reception, one minute its on T-mobile with a good reception, then when you pick it up it starts searching for a new network wich takes a long time. One minute its on O2.de then E plus or T-mobile. This all takes place when network selection is on auto or manual! When on manual network selection it still changes networks without any action from my side, this is not normal!! Also its draining my battery alot faster...This way I cannot use my phone when half of the time its searching for a network. I dont have edge or 3G subscribtion, just using the gsm network and wifi network while I am in the hotel...
I am running Artemis 7.0 wwe and have radio version 2.09.51.03_2. Anybody any idea/tips? I would like to avoid doing a hard reset/new flash because the phone is stable and completely setup the way I like it...

Mobile Signal Strength

Hello Seniors,
Wanted to know that is there any application which will show the signal strength (in some number) of all the network provider in my area.
Say, I have a Vodafone sim and in my area there are 5-6 different operators. So is there any way where I can check that in my house, out of all the mobile providers whose signal is the strongest?
So I am looking for a tool which will check the strength of all and then I can come to some conclusion.
Again, there is no network signal map which is available in my area, so need to depend on some app or some software etc.
Looking forward for your guidance.
Regards,
Anoop.
There is an app called as Network Info II on the playstore. It gives you the strength of the signal for the sim that is currently registered thru the phone on the network.
It wont give for other available networks..
May be somebody else can suggest some other app..

[Q] Help! Diagnose network connection issues

Hi guys
My n9005 has been having mobile connectivity issues for a while now. I'm not very knowledgeable about mobile networking and standards so I need some help diagnosing the problem before I either find a setting to alleviate the troubles or get some hardware replaced. For your reference i think has been caused by dropping my phone quite a few times so there is likely a hardware issue, i just want to better understand it to see if theres a workaround before i go spending money!
My phone works flawlessly when it displays its connect to 4G or H+ networks. However when it drops to 3G it usually does not send or receive any texts, calls, and I have no data connection.
I have fiddled around in the service menus and tried setting the band preferences to GWL, WCDMA & GSM, LTE Only, etc etc, with not much luck either having no connection or having the same issue. For reference I don't have 4G coverage at my home only H+, but when I was on holiday in the middle of no where at the National Park (I live in New Zealand) I had 4G connections the entire time with no dropping.
Now I have no idea what mobile networks use what standards/protocols so if you could recommend a setting change or identify what I should get replaced that would be great!
Cheers
