I'm experiencing random WiFi disconnects on my N10 that I just got today. I can't determine if I'm having network issues or if I'm having tablet issues.
Is anyone else experiencing WiFi stability issues?

I'm thinking it was a network issue. I made a few changes in my router and seem to be fine now.

I didn't have any trouble on my home network, but I was having major issues on my mom's Wi-Fi. Setting the tablet to only use 2.4ghz in advanced WiFi settings fixed it for me.

No, everything is fine here. The screen is dazzling!
How often does it happen, or just all the time?
I am also having wifi issues on my nexus 10. I am seeing constant disconnects with my older dlink 825 router that doesn't happen with any other device. Signal strength is much weaker than any other device. I believe it also knocks other devices off the wifi network when the n10 loses its connection but haven't been able to confirm with enough testing. The proximity to router doesn't appear to make much of a difference. I have reset router, changed channels, including testing on both 2.4 and 5ghz. I love the device but this is very frustrating so far

It was dropping about every 2 minutes. I read on another thread that refreshing the DHCP list and setting the DHCP lease to another other than "never expires" might help. This was the solution for me.

Definitely seems to be an Android 4.2 issue. I'm experiencing the same on my Nexus 10, 7 and G-nex since updating yesterday. It will just randomly disconnect and then reconnect. All 3 devices also randomly soft-reboot occasionally.

Out of curiosity, what brand is your router?

Is curious as I heard Belkin has issues sometimes. I'm running Belkin.

I am really starting to believe it is a 4.2 issue as well, it is good to hear that I am not the only one having these issues I have at least 7 other devices that are in use on and off throughout the day and none of them are having wireless issues. I was going to buy a new Router but think I will hold off for a while and wait to see if there are any newer OTA patches that fix this.

Belkin dual band n750 here. I had my nexus10 connected to the 2.4ghz (WPA2) band all yesterday and never once saw a disconnect or problem. I haven't tried the 5ghz band yet because I need to look up the password.
If I tether using foxfi on the my evo 4G lte everything is working well. No random dropouts or disconnects. Only seeing this issue at home so far.

I got rid of the Problem by uninstalling Boat Browser. Since then it neuer happened again!
This devices seems to get the worst reception of any other tablet, phone and laptop that I have had. After getting about 20 feet from the AP I get no bars. Wireless seems to cut off and on. I have a dual band AP. I have tried different settings on the nexus but still the same thing. My Samsung galaxy nexus phone gets twice the coverage. I was thinking that I had a defective tablet but not sure now. I was at my brothers house today and had the same problem on his router.

This tablet has much better reception than my Iconia or my Droid X. On my mom's WiFi it had signal issues until I disabled 5ghz on the tablet. 0 issues since

I have disabled the 5ghz on both tablet and router and its seems i get a little better signal but drops out every 5 minutes while on the web.

So you don't think it's specific to the N10? I was going to call in for warranty replacement as it's doing it again today.
Same thing here. Especially bad with Bluetooth on. Using crappy D-Link.
I've definitely noticed a decrease in service compared to my previous phones, especially the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII. I'm not sure if its poor Radio firmware, or the materials, but it's a noticeable drop. Using a signal booster in my house, I used to get full bars in my bathroom just two rooms away on the GSIII. The Nexus 4 barely gets 1.
Anyone else having issues, and does anyone know if newer radio firmware will be released soon?
feels the same for me, if not better than my galaxy nexus.
Yeah, my connection cuts out quite frequently. It's pretty annoying

I can't really compare how my reception is with my nexus since I am on a new provider, but I did notice something odd with how many bars I have. I assume there is some kind of battery saving function because when I am not really using data I will see 3G, as soon as I use data though it will switch to H. But what I noticed is when I am on 3G I will have like 2 bars service, but when the phone switches over to H I have full or close to it..
Maybe thats normal just thought it was odd?

Normal. Saves data. That's how T-mobile does it. Not sure about the bar part, unless it's switching towers for some reason? Ha.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
Yes it's noticeably worse than any other smartphone I've owned.

In my case, it's the opposite. It's the best smartphone in terms of service quality. maybe because I'm in Belgium !

Weren't you the one that dropped yours in the toilet? If so I don't think you qualify anymore for bug reports

I seem to be having the same reception problem the iPhone 4 had, namely that when I hold the phone, I lose reception.
Flat on desk: -82dBm
Fingers on either side of phone, still flat on desk: -99dBm.
Is anyone else getting the same phenomenon or is it just me? I wanna do a replacement if it's just me, but if it's something that everyone is experiencing, then I'll live with it.
I notice 2 things, 1) in general the reception is lower (4bars with my sensation/hd2 = 3bars on my n4) but I haven't done any real testing so it could be the bars are incorrect 2) big death grip problem, as soon as I grab the phone the reception drops and can cause a call to drop
For the most part I get good reception but yeah in certain parts of the house the phone is unusable.
I wonder if a simple bumper fix will do

Same, going from -77 to -85dBm

Keep in mind that bars mean nothing. Check the dBm / asu, the lower the better. Over ~110 things get dicey/unusable.
When I had my N4 on AT&T, it got better reception than my Capitvate and Atrix 2. I'm on T-Mobile now, and I'm still experimenting.

I have a tpu case on mine and it hasn't made a difference, actually the thing that works for me is switching to 2G + wifi when I'm home and of course 3G when out and about, I just wish nfc task launcher or tasker could access that "toggle" on the stock rom.
Hi
Different phone different reception patterns. No two phones will be exactly the same in terms of their signal strength, you might find an improvement compared to a previous phone, you might find it is worse, most will see no difference and it's very dependant on environment. I've seen no difference personally. Given some time and feedback from various carriers can improve things with radio updates, such as the phone being more or less aggressive in switching between cells, or protocol fixes that help prevent drop outs during higher error rates when the signal is lower and cleaner/quicker hand-off to adjacent cells.
It should be noted the main antenna is at the bottom of the phone like most mobiles these days, so holding it at the bottom cupped in the palm of your hand will see the signal reduce and battery consumption increase as it tries to transmit through flesh. There are diversity antennas towards the top of the phone, but these are for reception only and do not transmit.
A bumper is unlikely to help unless it was extremely large to make the distance between a hand and the antenna several inches! The iPhone was a different issue, it was because the antennas were not insulated and were being de-tuned and shorted by being touched when the phone was held.
Regards
Phil
Hi,
I'm loving my new nexus 4. But I have been getting very low signal bars for my mobile carrier. They are generally hovering around 1 or 2, especially when I'm indoors. I do not face any issue while using data. But then that is used when I'm outside. Overall, both network and wi-fi connectivity are lower than my earlier phone - the HTC Desire.
Has anyone of you faced a similar issue?
Thanks in advance.
I'm experiencing inconsistent signals. Sometimes I have full bars, sometimes none. Of course, this is at my house which is about a mile from the tower.

Same situation here. I think this affects everyone unless you are in a super steering signal area then it will penetrate your java easier.

Whatever the case is, i'm not liking it.
I didn't have these issues with either my iPhone nor my S2.
It'd be a shame to get rid of it after only 4 days.
Ok... feeling somewhat better to know this is not an issue faced by me alone.
I've noticed that signal bars go down to 1 or 2 when laying face up on my desk. As soon as I pick it up, it goes up to 4 bars.
The issue is I never faced this problem with my old HTC Desire!!
I hope its a radio problem which can be fixed by an update, and not a hardware issue.
Anyone else facing this problem?
Are you basing your signal quality by the representation of the bars as your signal compared to your previous phone?
Settings>about phone>status would probably a better place to get a reading to compare.

Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a weird problem i'm noticing with my international LG G2 D802, running D80210b-HKG-XX.
I have on the desk next to me, signal shows 4 bars for strength, however once I hold the phone, it drops to no signal, without moving the phone more than a centimetre, tried rebooting, checking for software updates, changing to GSM only, no difference. Is this sounding like a faulty unit or is there something obvious i'm missing?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Yes unfortunately this phone suffers from death grip like my previous nexus 4 and galaxy nexus.
I have similar issues but not that exaggerated.

So would you think getting a cover for it would solve that then?
I am really trying to love this phone and not go back to my Galaxy S8(Which I also loved). Without blasting about how or why or whatever else we could come up with to be derogatory, please tell me in the poll what service you are using with and if the signal is the same, worse or better than your previous device on the same network. Thanks in advance!

Verizon here. Signal seems to be on par with all my previous phones.
Previous device: HTC 10 - PH-1 is Better, significantly.
Also have a S7 Edge as a work phone - PH-1 is Better, not but by a few dB but still better.

I'm on AT&T and my signal is horrible with this phone compared to other phones I've used at home. I usually get a strong signal but I'm having a horrible one and constant drop outs. I posted in the t-mobile signal thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73653547&postcount=34
I saw your post, my signal has been subpar to say the least... I am wondering if this phone is having issues with GSM and dropping down to HSPA or something. It doesn't even try... My other phones would do that if the signal was atrocious but rarely needed too. It seems like this one just is horrible inside buildings as I get "decent" signal outside. Before, my service was on par with Verizon IMO.
Cricket wireless on par with other phones used. Just as good and no worse.

are you in an area that gets good ATT reception?
I'm on AT&T also and my signal is much worse. I have a weboost booster in my house too and I watched the signal drop from full bars to nothing at like -120 dBm and back to like -90dBm several times. I already switched back to my pixel XL till I decide what I want to do. I should have solid signal with a booster in my house.

Same here in Hayward, Ca.
T-mobile here in Bay Area. Seems faster than my old Sony.
So with limited results it seems the issue is intermittent?
I tried a Verizon sim in my phone and had decent reception, I swapped my tmobile sim for a brand new one at the store and I don't think it made a difference... I don't know what to do
Verizon here. For me, it's hit or miss. After being on Wi-Fi, it takes a while to reacquire a good data signal. Also, I seem to be dropping a data signal in places where I never did with my Google Pixel.
I'm hoping some kind of update might fix these issues. Until then, I am going back to my S8
AT&T Florida, same signal quality as the last two phones, S8+ and Pixel XL.
The thing I never thought would bother me is not having a case at all on the phone, I mean its slicker than snot.
I never even thought about it being designed to NOT have a case before I bought it.
But then how would you attach the camera with a case on it.
I do have a skin for the back of it on the way, hopefully it wont affect camera attachment.

I'm just needing a case so I can connect the phone to the CD slot mount in my car. Just a lightweight, basic case for that usage. And somehow there are no cases available at all.
Where did you buy the skin?
I went back to the s8 for the time being, I need a phone that is reliable and at this time that is not my essential device
MetroPCS - Atlanta coming from a 6p I get better signal everywhere. Calls sound clearer.
