Bought my mom a Nexus 4 from the Play Store to replace her Galaxy Blaze (piece of ****) and it loses signal constantly at her house and at work. Just looking for some advice on what to do, as I'm not fairly sure it's a hardware problem.
From what I've seen the phone works perfectly fine and has service everywhere else with good coverage. My mom's house and work never had great coverage (always 0/1/2 bars with Blaze and S2) but she had Wi-Fi for internet and calling/texting always worked; they never lost service completely. Does the Nexus 4 have a lower strength antenna? We got her a new SIM card from T-Mobile and I had done the update to 4.3 while it was on Wi-Fi before we tested it at all.
At this point, I'm not sure whether to root and install different radios and void the warranty, or if it shouldn't be having these issues at all.
Thanks for any advice!
Need a little more info, what region are you located in? How long has this been happening, is it persistent or off and on? I've had similar issues lately in Houston TX. I'm here to help if you need it.

Please review this article http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/26/bug-watch-android-4-3-radio-bugs-causing-cell-connection-drops-on-some-nexus-4-handsets-fixes-in-sight/ from Android Police for your problem. It's a bug with version 4.3.
BTW, I just bought a Nexus 4 from swappa and I am also with T-Mobile and currently using Galaxy S Blaze What a coincidence!!!

Ok thanks taodan! That actually sounds like what it could be. I'll see how 4.2.2 works before I jump to any other conclusions.
Hopefully you got a good price since Google just lowered it to $199/$249 on the Play Store. Their price protection is getting us $100 back even though we got it a couple days before price change.
I had the same issue with the 4.3 radio, flashing the 4.2.2 radio has alleviated my problems.

Hello,
I have a Nexus 4, my carrier is Telus. I have had my phone for 3 weeks now. When I first got it, I used the *#*#4636#*#* trick to get LTE on my phone. It worked great! According to speed test I was getting 27mbps download, whereas on HSPA+ i got 7mbps.
In the last two days, for some reason my phone will not work on the LTE network. I get full bars but they are grey. Also, when the connection used to work, there would be flashing up and down arrows on the signal bars. Now, there is only a flashing up arrow (no down arrow).
I called telus tech support and had them reset the connection to my phone, I also bought a new micro sim card, neither worked.
I do not require LTE by any means, but it is disappointing that I cannot figure this out. Has anyone had a similar problem? I spent the last few days checking other posts and there doesn't seem to be anything similar posted. If there is, I apologize, I am a noob, and I watched the noob video.
Take care

Hey there. Fell Canadian (and TELUS customer) here. I live in British Columbia, and I just checked my LTE and it seems to be working. Are you using a custom ROM? What Baseband version do you have? I'm on M9615A 2.0.1700.33. Hope this helps.

I am in Toronto. I told google that my device makes a buzzing noise (which it does) and they are sending me a replacement. Hopefully the new phone won't have the same connectivity issues.
Did you try changing your APN settings? I know for Rogers customers, there is a specific/different APN to use when you want to use their LTE network on your Nexus 4.
does it work without LTE? if you go back into the settings and change it back to the default, does it work on HSPA+ or 3g?
My LTE works, and is really really fast. download is about 90mbits/s and upload is about 75. I am in Barrie Ontario, on Koodo.
However, the speedtest app will not work, no matter what I do. So I have to use some other crappy app. Anyone else?
Am I the only one that has bad signal with this phone? My Wi-Fi cuts out and I barely get signal in places where I got 4 bars on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this?

Having the same issue with my note 3. Seems to have gotten slightly better the past few days, but still poor compared to my note 2. Thinking about taking it back to Verizon this week. Anyone know how the return/exchange process works? If I exchange it and still have problems then what are my options? Or if I return it do I get my upgrade back? Can I then repurchase it and have another 14 days to test and potentially return it?
This is my only complaint about my phone. No problems on WiFi, but 4G reception is inconsistent and I often find the phone switching to 3G in places my Note 2 wouldn't. In that situation, I can use Tellinfo to force LTE only and I often have reception. The only problem with this is in places where 3G would actually be appropriate, I obviously then have no service.
This leads me to conclude (and hope) that it's a software/modem firmware issue rather than a hardware issue--the device is switching to 3G when staying on LTE would be appropriate. As such, we might hope for a fix.

I am almost certain there is a restocking fee but they may waive that/it may not apply if you are dealing with a defective device.

My first N3 had great WiFi & signal strength, build date 10/2, but had a crooked camera.. I've since had 2 replacements both with WiFi & signal issues, same 10/6 build date.. I will be searching Best Buy for an earlier build date or perhaps one from a more recent batch within the past week if that's even possible.

Hmm interesting. Thanks for this info I will probably go to Verizon Wednesday for a replacement or to at least test signal strength side by side with another device
I have luckily had vast improvements. Reception has been much better my note 3 compared to my s3. No more dropped calls. Always have a 3g or 4g signal as where I never had. Always on wifi at this location but finally sending out pics with ease.... This has definitely been some thick icing on the cake. I love it

I had the same problem with my wifi (slow link speed "5mbps" even tho I had great signal) I solved the problem by changing the channel on my wireless router from channel 11 to channel 10 now I have awesome Internet speed "75mbps" compared to what I had before.

Mine has a build date of 10/02. I'm hoping this is just a software issue. The signal is not horrible by any means. But it seems to be slightly worse than my note 2. I had a few dropped calls the first few days I owned it(never had one with my note 2) and areas where I would at the very worst have 1 bar of 1x I now have no signal(fades in and out constantly). Sometimes I even struggle to send texts in areas that it was never an issue with the note 2. Now you've got me scared that I'll get an even worse one if I exchange it. Did you get your replacements through Verizon? How painful is the process? Also any experience getting Samsung to fix an issue like this under warranty? I'm not sure what my best option is but I only have two more days before my 14 day exchange period runs out. Fwark.
Not sure of the build date of my first Note 3 , but my second Note 3 has a build date of 10/2 and both have wifi stability issues

Tested my note 3 tonight side by side with my girlfriend's S4 and they had about the same signal strength(note was about 10dBm worse at first but quickly adjusted and was actually better for a short period). But after watching them for about 10 minutes they seemed to be almost identical. My signal seems to be a bit better more recently than it was previously(did a soft reset last night and cleared cache as well). The only time the poor performance is really noticeable is in my living room at home where I now have no service 90% of the time making it very hard to send texts and mms. Previously with my note 2 I had at least one bar of 1x most of the time and rarely lost service completely. Hoping this will improve with a software update. I don't plan on taking mine back since it seems likely to get the same or worse performance from a replacement
My wifi is strong 50mbps, its the 4g thats my issue this radio sucks compared to my 3 year old droid bionic.
I wonder how much of the signal issues has to do with the power management. The radio and s800 provide

I am in downtown San Francisco and at best have only 1 bar showing on 4G. I spoke to VZW service, the rep told me it's counter intuitive: yes San Francisco is saturated as best as VZW can as far as LTE is concerned, but because there are so many people using LTE in such a small area, connectivity is virtually "0".
Is this horse manure?
If the stupid "unstable" internet connection thing were to get fixed, I think I would finally have a perfect phone. And please don't say it's my router or that it works fine for you.... The wifi thing is a problem, and this is my second Note 3, and they both do the exact same thing. Everything else works fine with my router setup (FIOS), so to suggest that something needs changed there doesn't make any sense.
So, simply, does the OTA fix the WiFi connectivity problem?

I can't answer that unfortunately. I used to have the same problem at work (they used DLink access points which have problems with Samsung). They just replaced them all with HP hardware and I haven't had the error at all any more.
What I can say is that everything radio seems better for me with this update. I get 2 more bars for cellular reception as well as much better bluetooth clarity.

Service bars are just a visual thing. You have to check the actual reception numbers to see if your cellular reception has improved at all. I have been using my D-Link router with my Note 3 (as well as my previous S3) and the WiFi connection is rock solid. Maybe some of the networking equipment you had at work was older, but Samsung phones and D-Link equipment can connect without issue.

I'm aware that the bars can be played with by the carrier.
I used to lose my call twice on the way to work every day. Today I drove all the way without garble or a dropped call. I think the bars are real this time. I haven't checked the actual DB signal strength before so I don't have a good comparison.

I will not tell you that it's your router, because I don't think it is. However, I will tell you that I think it must have something to do with the software/hardware interface or there is something conflicting in the phone, because I did not have the "unstable" wifi issue on MJ7 at all, and after the update to MJE, I get the error every now and then.
Just my experience.

Fortunately for me, I do have the unlimited data, so I always have the option to just use the LTE signal. If I didn't, I would have had to return the phone or my bill would be through the roof. Everything else works fine with my home WiFi, but the Note 3 gives me the "your internet connection is unstable" message, regardless of my proximity to the router i.e. sitting right next to it!! At this point, with there being 2 or 3 "updates" since the phone was released, I have to say it's looking like a hardware problem. Otherwise where's the fix? BTW this is my 2nd Note 3 as I returned the first one thinking I got a lemon. The new one does the exact same thing. Wifi is a pretty basic function of a phone. If they can't get that right, I may have to think twice before I buy Samsung again. Do they not do any testing?

I asked VZW tech the same question "Don't you people test the device before it gets sold”? Like you sir this makes my 2nd note 3 I bought my first one on the edge program around the first week of NOV of this year. Do you have talk signal bars when your WiFi drops or have you noticed? What I've noticed is that when I lose signal "talk"not "WiFi", then my WiFi drops. I talked to VZW tech yesterday and they said Samsung is aware of the WiFi problem and that Samsung is working on a patch that will fix this problem. I hope Samsung fixes this problem soon because if it doesn't get fixed I will never buy another Samsung device, I'll go back to Nexus.

i went to connection and choosed my network to get signal back
then after 2 hours i tried to call my phone several times and it was giving me an answer that my phone is off althoug carrier signal pars were full!!, and had to restart phone to get it work back
what is happening?
which is a good app by experince can alert me when i lose signal?
tried reset signal app but it crach each time i try it, may be not compatible with 4.3
found no signal alert but never updated since August 2012, trying it now
is there any way to get a log when i lost the signal
I got similar issue. My note 3 network strength is worse than my old note 2 was.

I have a slightly different issue. My data stops working even though it shows 4G signal connected. The up arrow is blinking but the down arrow is not. It happens randomly and will also start working after some time and then stop working again. None of the services work when its not working like opening any site with the browser fails. I am annoyed with this. The same SIM when used on my Nokia 920 doesn't do this. It's constantly working for days. Something with my Note 3. Not rooted. N9005 LTE. UAE. Is there any way to diagnose this? If I restart the phone it starts working again immediately. I don't want to do a factory reset.
there r some apps on market which will alert u if lost data connection and allow u to reset the service by 1 touch

My Three sim card was awful for signal on my note no matter what area I was in, but turned out it was a bad card.. My O2 sim has full signal and full 4G connection though all the time anywhere.
My Vodafone 4g had been pretty sheeeit since I've had it. They can't explain why. So last few days I'm on stock and just rooted... Not that many mods and it seems to be holding much better signal and showing LTE as well. Getting 91db whereas it was 101db before.... I dunno what's going on

From previous experiences... Signal was always the best but it's been 3 years since I had them..... And boy have they gone shhhhit. I got o2 contract as well but not 4g as they hadn't rolled any out and weren't even promising to do so.

It appears many other people that having the same problem with not only the S10+ but other S10s on other carriers as well. Supposedly Samsung is supposed to release a software fix, but Sprint is also having people return their S10+s and get replacements because supposedly many of the first ones made have a hardware issue causing this. Anyone on Verizon or other carriers having similar issues and any update on the fix software or return and get new phone or otherwise?

Sounds like the same problem I had on TELUS in Canada. Took it to Samsung and they told me they had to replace motherboard. Fought with them like cats and dogs and they refused to give me a new phone. After waiting over a month for them to fix it, I immediately sold it and bought a Huawei P30 Pro. Will never have another Samsung Phone after that fiasco...
Not sure. Supposedly the first few batches but I'm not sure of date ranges. All I know is this has been the worst reception of any phone I've had and it happens alll over. Drop LTE and if i hit Airplane mode on and then turn it off it comes back. In fact I just had to do that right now to reply.

Am having the same or similar issues my internet is working all fine and out of nowhere i loose internet while still having full signal bar. I tried airplane mode and nothing seems to bring back the internet only thing that works for me is a reset am on AT&T
This seems to effect all s10 models regardless of the carrier.
I have a Verizon s10 plus that I pre ordered.
My LTE will have poor speed and randomly not work even though the status bar shows a signal in spots with good Verizon coverage. I also noticed that my bluetooth will randomly disconnect from devices and is very glitchy. Also the battery life has been not great. Only about 5 hours SOT with lot of apps disabled and all settings adjusted for maximum battery life.
Also I noticed that if you go into settings/connections/mobile networks and observe the signal strength it is always either -120dbm 99asu or "not available" which is not good.
I Noticed the LTE issues after an update(not sure which one it was)
I tried Updating to the latest ASD9 and there is no improvement.
I did all the basic troubleshooting through verizon(new sim, provisioned the device again). No improvement
I reset the phone with no improvement, I flashed the factory firmware ASD7 with odin.... no improvement.
Finally I brought the phone to a local Samsung experience store.
They tried to run some tests but it would not complete them. They were well aware of the problems with sprint phones but were surprised to see these issues on a Verizon phone. Eventually they agreed to replace the motherboard but had an issue flashing the serial number to the new firmware so now finally im going to get a new phone. Fingers crossed, this has been such a headach
