Hi guys,
My nexus 4 drops my signal every 10-15 seconds, the signal coverage 80 percent of the time remains showing full signal/3G etc but data drops constantly.
I have tried stock and custom rooms with little effect, my network provider blames the phone. I haven't had a chance to test it on another network but before I do was hoping to see if others may have experienced the same!
Below are some screenshots from a signal monitor.

Same problem for me

Hmm, what ROM are you using? What country? There must be a cause or just a hardware issue?

Flash stock kernel. It will fix the signal drop for few sec.

The stock kernel will fix it you say? Surely that is was I had originally? Or is it something different?

Doesn't seem to have made any difference. Can anyone suggest anything else?
Interesting, mine started with this yesterday once I upgraded my rom to a newer version.

What was your old ROM? I may try it as I am clutching at straws here. Radio, music, youtube... anything that requires data streaming just buffers every 10 seconds for 1-5 seconds. It is frustrating to say the least!
Stock Kernel didn't let my phone boot, Franco Kernel seemed to make it worse! I don't get what the issue is

Im using Paranoid Android with an older radio for LTE but the newest update seems to be when my signal went funny somewhat. I am on the .33 radio with matrix kernel right now but my phone signal seems to be lower than it was in many areas after the July 22nd update. Could be coincidental.

Just received Nexus 4 from US friends to here in India. I am getting constant reboots. They are very very frequent. Like once in every 10 minutes. Generally occurring when I make calls and into it 10 seconds. Seems like its hot reboot.
I received it in Android 4.2, which I immediately updated to 4.2.1, so I have no experience if it had the issue in 4.2.
I tried the following:
1) Factory Reset
2) Putting it back to Android 4.2
3) The latest nightly build of CM 10.1
The issue existed everywhere. I also have logcat constantly recorded before the reboots. Here is one of the instants:

Any suggestions or advice? As of now I am planning to send it back to US for getting it replaced. But I want to try every possible solution in case it is a software issue..
Thanks in advance
Flash a custom kernel such as Franco. Kernel is what throttles your phone in temperatures etc.

Lemme try that, though CM 10.1 build kernel had the same issues.
Tried franco kernel. Still the same issue is there.
CPU Spy is not showing more times at higher frequency. Is temperature throttle possible?

I doubt these are thermal reboots.. It is probably something wrong internally that is causing it. Bad eMMC maybe?

My Nexus 4 is constantly losing signal as seen in this video. I'm on my second Nexus4 (replacement device) and I'm still experiencing the same trouble.
I wouldn't be concerned if it just lost a couple of bars, but it always jumps to NO bars.
Please help!
Thanks

It could be your carrier. Did this happen on your old phone?

No I've never had a problem with my other phones. This happens everywhere with my Nexus 4, even when I know I'm in an area with a good signal.

What rom and radio are you currently using? Did you try factory reset or flashing other roms/radios?

I rooted and installed stock 4.2.2. The device came with 4.2.1 and was experiencing the same issue.
I just logged a ticket with Telus but I'm not sure if that's going to do anything.

My Nexus 7 was becoming very unresponsive and pissing me off. Was on older JB version and Paranoid Android. I flashed back to stock/wipe all and then allowed 4.3 OTA update, rerooted. Now my Wifi is EXTREMELY slow. Buddy and I at work put my N7 side by side with his iPad on the same wireless at work and his was flying through sites, with mine timing out left and right.
Any ideas why the radios are so crappy now? Did I ruin something in the flashing processes?
Would love if someone had an answer for this. I have a stock N7 (2012) and have the EXACT same problem. Ever since it updated itself to 4.3 my wifi has been remarkably slow. Can't stream any video at all. I do speedtests on my S4 right next to my tablet, and the phone is 12mbps down with the tablet being about 200 kbps. It's unbearable, I can't figure out whats going on. Tried all the usual fixes with no help.
What normal fixes have you used? I'll see if they fix my issue.

The usual. Clearing caches, factory reset, reseting my router. What i ended up having to do was root it and put an android 4.2.2 rom onto it. Immediately solved my problem and I am pulling down around 12mbps now and can stream video :laugh:. I can't believe you and I are the only ones out there with this problem but maybe. I hope next update google will fix this, i like having the stock firmware on a nexus device.
Oh, ok. Thought there were some 'normal' tools/apps to try. I'm with you, hopefully something is found soon.
Quick question, what type of router do you have at home?
Try doing a clean install of 4.3
I'm not having any problems with download/upload speeds.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried. No luck with that. Like I said once I switched back to a 4.2.2 based rom the tablet's internet has been as fast as it's supposed to be.
anyone having trouble with 3g reception, my phone seems to turn off the radio entirely every few minutes, it's either full bars and decent 3g or nothing at all, just no network messages

Are you on stock or custom? I usually just flash the most up to date radio when I have problems like that

both stock and custom (namelessrom) i havent been able to leave base much (USAF) so it might be some sort of interference from something here, but my old phone had no problem getting signal here (galaxy s2)
It seems as if anytime someone texts me, and there is a message being sent at the same time, the sent message fails and i have to hit retry on it. Im not sure if this happens on stock roms, but definitely happens on custom roms. Is there anyway to fix this?

Me too. I thought it was a radio issue because my signal at home sucks. I just sold my MDK S4 and bought the N3 and the signal difference at home is very noticeable.

My note 3's signal is also atrocious, much worse than my thunderbolt and note 2 were in the same location. I can barely get a signal from my home. My service also seems to be even worse with wifi on. I am actually just about to make a thread to discuss these issues

I hope so. I just made a thread showing how it is possibly a software issue, at least in my case:
