I have not had any issues that i've seen other have on the forums but there is one issue i am having...
After the first few hours of use the antenna has either cut out completely and I see "no service" or only Edge is available.
Rebooting + open/close sim tray does not fix the problem. I am on T-Mobile.
I had to call in and have them "reset" the data on my line in order the get h+ speeds again. Also my buddy said they told him the Sim card that came with the phone, if from t mobile, could be a different type and if I keep getting issues they recommended to go into the store and request a new one. He also is having terrible speeds on t mobile. We are both seeing about 600kbs down and 1000kbs upload speeds. Used to be much better with my galaxy nexus....so I will check with them tomorrow again

I have a similar problem but for me the H icon never goes away. It works for a good time but then all of a sudden it doesn't load anything. It comes and goes and it's really annoying.
Did you guys cut your sim card into micro or is it a real micro sim card?
My reception is pretty poor. It drops pretty randomly at times which can be frustrating, something that my Galaxy Nexus never did. I typically only see 2G speeds though due to my area.

I cut my Sim and having the same issue... Guess I have to get a real micro sim
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I am using a microsim ... the one that came with the phone since I purchased through T-Mobile online.
I think it is the sim card because it looks like there are scratches on it after I had swaped it back to my vibrant with a microsim adapter.
I will go to the store today when they open and get a new sim. Hopefully this will fix this issue. It was working perfectly fine earlier.
My N4 is dropping calls and losing network connection like crazy. I'm using the same Sim that was in my SIII. It had no such issues.

I haven't had your problem, but I did cut my SIM to a microSIM, and the first 2 times I put it in, the N4 would not recognize it. Since then, I've put it in 2 more times and it's been fine. Did you cut your SIM into a microSIM? Maybe the phone is extra picky about placement.
SOLVED
Got a new MicroSIM and It works perfectly. My original microSIM did get scratched too hard when using a MicroSim to SIM adapter (i was testing the microsim on my old phone)
I'm happy now

NVM. Same b.s just happened again with the new sim. Idk whats going on here. The antenna is randomly choosing to be on HSPA, EDGE, or nothing... I'll wait it out for a day or two.. see if things change
Why would I have to?

Ugh. That sucks. Sorry to hear.
what really sucks is that I dont have any other issues with it. Every problem that i see on the forums is not existant on my nexus. I am scared that if it ever gets replaced that the new one may not be as perfect as this one is
I'm Having the exact same problem, except on AT&T. Coming from an Atrix 4G, cut the sim down to micro size, only had a network connection for the first 30 seconds after a reboot. I just got off the phone with a AT&T CSR to activate a new micro sim i picked up earlier today, he said IMEI showed up in their system as Unknown, according to him because "it's an unlocked device, so it shows up on our systems as unknown." After doing the switch anyway, connection held for about 5 minutes, and now i'm back to square one. Maybe APN settings? Is this a problem with the N4, or the service?

I would think it may be an issue with the N4 since some people are perfectly fine with their connection, but then there's others like us who can't get it too work all the time =(
i think its a manufacturing defect
I'm thinking definitely manufacturing defect now, I went into a t-mobile store and tried one of their sim cards - same result. I even tried flashing everything completely back to stock, but the problem remains. Am I the only one experiencing this? I can't find any similar results..
EDIT: You guys think I should hold off on sending it back in until they have more in stock? So I'm not completely N4-less for 3 weeks?
Hey guys lurker here finally registering to get some help.
I have a nexus 4 with T-Mobile. I bought it unlocked through Google and have it on the same plan I had my G2 on.
My problem is every time I get into a HSPA area my service just drops. Like completely drops. I cannot even make a call. It will come on then off then on then off. It makes the phone useless. When I'm on edge it's perfectly fine.
I went to T Mobile and got a brand new sim car and that did not help my problem.
Much appreciated any help I can get.
Factory reset first and see what happens.

That happens when the radio on the N4 switches between 3G and HSPA doing a factory reset won't affect the radio. In other words its the carrier coverage in your area. Try Straight Talk with At&t

I've got a Nexus 4 on AT&T and i've got HSPA (no +, i've checked in settings). It seems when my phone switches between towers i lose service until i go in and select AT&T from a list of available networks. On other phones in this area i always have Tmobile and AT&T, but with this one i'm getting two AT&T's. I usually select AT&T, but the last few days i've tried selecting "automatically select network." It doesnt appear to have made any changes. Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before i factory reset this bad boy.
Factory reset, reflash of the stock ROM using the nexus toolkit, unroot and custom Roms cm10 and paranoid android. Nothing has helped my issue. I have the LTE plan and the WAP APN gives me hspa+. Still getting a signal drop every time I move more than a mile or so.

Why does my phone show full signal yet all apps that use mobile data either run shockingly slow or not at all!! My steam app is constantly reconnecting yet signal is constant! In BBS it's showing i have good signal for a matter of minutes and is mostly showing poor or unknown signal nearly the whole time the phone is on!

Could be you only have full bars of 2G data speed. You are either being throttled for excessive use from your carrier or your carrier only has 2G speeds where you live. Where I work the entire county only has 2G Edge speeds from AT&T even though their coverage map shows 3G for the area. Check your data type and speeds with an app like Network Signal info.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet&hl=en
Happens to me a lot as well. I show full 4g and yet everything times out and wont load because data is so slow. I'm also in a good coverage area where i get 12-14 Mbps speed with other phones and when this one is acting normal.

The towers you are connecting to are probably overloaded. Thin of them as a wireless access point at your house with 1 internet line. If too many connect to and use that line, the connection gets slower. Would be nice if cell providers posted tower stats in your area. Would save a lot of angry calls

Glad im not the only one suffering.. I didnt really have the problem on stock so much.. just since unlocking and flashing new roms.
To the person who mentioned carrier throttling, its certainly not that as one minute i'll get full speed and the next (youtube for example) will just stop and start saying no signal retry and then if i turn the phone off and back on again it will work. How can a carrier throttle you when you only have a 2Gb usage limit and then they charge you afterwards that makes no sense.
Also its not a 2G problem as Signal checker shows 3G and also now EE all around my area. Besides my wife's S3 on the same network is getting full speeds where im not or anything even though im apparently at full strength H
I hope this gets sorted soon as its also affecting calls.. I'll have what looks like full signal while playing a game then suddenly a text to say someone tried ringing me like 3 minutes before!!
probably switching from HSDPA to HSPA+.
did you notice a H on top of your signal bar, that switches to H+ when the lag is over?
I have had this problem for a long time, since I got my Galaxy Nexus and now again on my Nexus 4, and finally got so fed up that I have been testing it all day and getting screenshots ready to make my own post about this so I am pretty relieved to see this post!
I live in Philadelphia and use T-Mobile. I have had T-Mobile here for years and never had this problem before. When they upgraded to 3G I had amazing speed boosts and when they did HSPA+ it got even better but that was on a G1/G2. On my Nexus phones the internet is damn near unusable in center city but what is so odd about it is that in my Google searches about the problem I can only seem to find posts raving about T-Mobile in the city and how Philly keeps getting improvements including the new improved 1900Mhz HSPA+42 but I have never even seen my Nexus 4 on the +42 network the best it goes to is +15 and even that makes no difference because the internet is so slow and unrelaible that unless I am on Wifi, my phone just sits in my pocket useless.
I'm really at my wits end about this and no one, Google or T-Mobile seems to take responsibility or have any advice on how to fix it except the pointless factory reset.
I've seen a brief mention on XDA about a fast.tmobile.com APN and I changed to that and I'd like to imagine that it showed some type of improvements but certainly not with data speeds/latency/integrity of connection. If anything, it may have improved signal 'strength' (used lightly because regardless of what my strength is listed as the connection sucks.
To be clear, I am connected to HSPA and HSPA+ when the connection is being used, like it should, but these are the best speeds I managed to get throughout the day today as I moved around campus trying different spots.
Please, someone have advice!!

I am using the stock kernel, stock radio although not the stock ROM. I am pretty sure I had this problem before I rooted (I say pretty sure to be conservative with my answer since I am not 100% sure but I am definitely 90%)
Is anyone confident about their knowledge regarding APN settings? I have seen like 15 different configurations for T-Mobile's APN and have no idea which one to try and would prefer not to just go through them one by one -- I've got things to do!

Again.. I'm pretty sure i didn't have this problem while on stock but i could be wrong. My GNex was exactly the same. And I'm on orange UK so completely different network to the T-Mobile USA so surely can't be random that we're both having the same problems

I'm on stock 4.2.1. Phone is rooted and boot loader unlocked. For about two days now I'm having signal drops from 4bars, then greyed out 4 bars and jumps between H to 3G. Settings for LTE revert to WCDMA every time I lose reception. Also dialer crashes/ force closes if I have an incoming call and sends all calls to voicemail. I can dial out but at the end of my calls when I go to hang up I see the popup that phone process crashed.
My carrier is Bell Canada and the phone worked fine for about 10 days before this started happening.
Any tips or advice to help me out is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I am from India and I'm using Idea Cellular.
I've been using N4 since Jan, initially it had 4.2 on it, after that I updated to 4.2.1 and later 4.2.2
For the last 6-7 weeks most of my calls were getting dropped, sometime just after connecting.
I tried a lot of solutions:
1. Switching off mobile data
2. Switching off wifi
3. Device reset
and then making calls.
None of the above solved the call drop issue. I finally requested for a replacement device and received it today.
So I put my sim in new phone, copy all my data from Google Play and I make my first call, 12 mins and the call drops again.
Now if this was a hardware issue, the odds of me again getting a faulty device should have been very less. But well here we are - one more faulty device.
If its not, is there any software fix or anything other way of solving this?
Did you try checking with a different SIM?
Hardware issue with your particular phone. RMA
Maybe is your sim cause I can talk for over a hour and nothing happens

I've had mine for about a month and have not experienced any of these issues. Yes, I've had a dropped call or two but it's been in areas that have a weak signal and my previous phones would also drop calls. I'm on the T-Mobile USA network.
It might as well be a problem with your service provider, and it might be temporary, you should check that possibility. If not, then the SIM card might be faulty as well, try it in a different phone and see if calls are dropped.
Tried switching already.. No avail..
Main things that bug me is wifi.. Don't know what the heck is wrong with it..

Using N4 since 3 months in Mumbai with Vodafone never had problem like that. May its your device or SIM or network is getting worse at this time in your area.
High Hopes
I feel ya, man. My phone usage pattern is pics, video, and browsing mostly. The Nexus 4 has failed me on multiple occasions with dropped data and terrible reception. I have tried changing my APN settings, I've even called ATT and confirmed with them that I had the correct data plan allotted.
I know it's the Nexus 4 and not my carrier because my husband, who uses a half-broken iphone 4 on the same network gets better reception and network connectivity in the same places and at the same times. I found myself using his phone a lot of the time to do simple tasks like browse online because I'm tired of re-connecting on my Android.
I still don't want to go back to iPhone because I'm bored with iOS at the moment, so now, when I'm researching my next Android phone, I'm going to make sure to consider radio signal quality.

I have seen issues with SIM working on one phone but acting weird on another. Try checking with 2-3 different SIM cards of various service providers. If all fail, you will know the device is faulty.
FYI, I am on Airtel MH Nexus 4 and haven't faced any issue.
I have the same issue, the call drops when making or receiving a call, and it happens after 20 seconds to 1 minute... The odd thing is I didn't have these problems when I was using it in the states.. Just had them when I went back home..

I have recently swapped SIM on Nexus 4, from BSNL to AirTel. When I was using BSNL, 3G was working fine. Once I switched the BSNL SIM with AirTel SIM. I got 3G the first day (14th March 2013) and after that I was never able to get 3G till now. I even got a duplicate SIM thinking that earlier SIM might be the problem as I had converted it to micro by cutting it. But new micro SIM doesn't seem to be helping either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having a problem with my newly purchased Nexus 4.
I just received this 5 days ago, and I have noticed a problem. Sometimes, my Nexus disconnects with my network provider, and then it won't reconnect until I reboot it. I can't figure out how to fix this issue, as it is annoying and happens randomly. I don't know how to recreate the issue. I know I am supposed to have a connection, because my old Galaxy Nexus sitting right next to my Nexus 4 connects to the network fine.
Just after the last disconnect, I rebooted and allowed Data Roaming, as someone from Android Central said that it might help with keeping my phone connected. Only time will tell if that helps or not, but do you guys have any idea what could be causing this issue? I am on T-Mobiles $30 Monthly4G plan. Thanks.
UPDATE: My N4 also tends to Roam much more than my GNex. Could this be the cause of the problem?

If you are using the prepaid plan, it's going to have subtle differences in roaming and coverage; perhaps that accounts for something.

If its a software bug then why haven't many more have the same issues?
It seems that my signal reception seems to decay over a long period of time. When my phone first reboots, its as strong as ever. But then a day passes and then my phone starts to roam a lot more. Then finally, it just doesn't connect at all. Looks like I am going to have to give Google a call, because this is not right.

Don't have that problem with my nexus, and I'm running stock android 4.2.2 also. Have you tried airplane mode before rebooting? You don't need the data roaming ON, if your not using it. You could try by selecting the network operator manually, or in the worst case scenario, try a complete reset via recovery. You can also try to get the SIM of the galaxy nexus into the nexus 4 (your gonna have to cut it) sometimes the SIM is the problem, happened once on my HTC Inspire, got a new SIM and the problem was fixed. ?Hope you can resolve your issue.
I think its not a common fault but if your network is 3g only then I think this could be the problem and you would only realise that I have only had it for a few weeks I don't want RMA again if this only a software fault . like I said its got something to do with lte and radio restrictions on the 4.2.2 I reckon and Google won't admit it,

Its not even that, why my Nexus 4 seems to LOVE to roam, while my Galaxy Nexus hated roaming. I don't know why. Well anyways, just got off the phone with both T-Mobile and Google, both of them don't know what the problem is. Just had to Factory Reset my phone. But right off the bat, jumped straight to Roaming, so I am afraid an RMA is in my future.
Fair doos at least you know but I still think its a three network problem with the way my network is HSDPA+ and the phone can't handle 3g to hdspa+ could be radio oringated oh well we'l see

Well I actually still don't quite know, it could be my sim card causing issues, but I just hope that my next phone is better and everyone just works out of the box. The reviews for this phone are glowing, but so far all I see are problems.
I have all the same issues and I am on the same plan. My daughter's Nexus 4 is fine on the same plan and I tried her sim but it doesn't make a difference on my phone. Any custom ROM make a difference for anyone?

Sounds like a hardware problem, like mine. I'm hoping to set up an RMA tomorrow. I am also going to T-Mobile to get them to check out my SIM card, even though its brand new. I might also buy a cutter online, because I still have my old SIM from my Galaxy Nexus and it was perfect.
I had this problem with my release day N4 on America's AT&T network. I would very frequently disconnect, even though others around me would not. My old Galaxy S had no such issue. After several weeks of frustration and dozens of threads (really, you should have searched, there's dozens of threads), I got an RMA from Google and they sent me a new N4 (the one before the nipples came out). Now, I still occasionally get hiccups wherein the signal bar indicates connection to Google servers (it's colored in, not grey/pale). However, my phone no longer completely disconnect from network like my original (btw, you can just toggle airplane mode; that usually fixed it for me). I just have to wait a 5~10 seconds for a proper connection to be re-established.
After having read hundreds of posts about this issue; and arguing with ignorant, stock users who were lucky enough to have received an order with a sufficiently working radio (they just assumed that root alone was the cause...), I only have one piece of advice for you. It's been the only solution in all of my research, as well as the one that helped me: Return Merchandise Authorization.
