NEW IN THIS THREAD?
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE REPLYING
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH AN OVER-THE-AIR UPDATE BY GOOGLE. IF YOU SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM THEN YOU SHOULD WAIT FOR THE UPDATE TO ARRIVE ON YOUR DEVICE.
Full details:
What the problem is
The device has an issue of volume acting strangely. Most often the volume mutes very quickly. Sometimes the volume starts 'jumping' between muted and loud very quickly.
This volume issue happens often during phone calls, using internet or receiving SMS text messages.
Some users are also reporting that when calling, they can hear 'radio interference' sounds.
The device is often unresponsive while the problem happens. Power button not working for the brief time has been reported.
How it happens
The problem happens while the device uses GSM 900 network, that is when the device is in 2G.
Your phone is on 2G when it uses E (Edge) and G (GPRS) connections, both data and mobile. If data is used, a small letter near signal indicator points out what you are connected to.
The problem happens while another device that is on GSM 900 is nearby and is transmitting in 2G network. This happens even if Nexus itself is not using any networks at the time (such as when radios are off and the device is in Airplane mode).
The problem is more evident when user is in low-signal area and more 2G information is transmitted.
The problem also happens in bootloader and is not the fault of Android 4.0 itself.
Please remember that the problem does not happen for all 2G networks, some 2G networks (especially outside Europe) do not use GSM 900.
How many users are affected
Every Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset seems to be affected by this problem. Majority of users however are not encountering the problem due to not using GSM 900 2G networks.
2G networks working on GSM 900 are majority of Europe, Africa, Australia, Middle East and large part of Asia.
In UK, the GSM 900 is used by O2, Vodafone, giffgaff, Tesco Mobile.
What Samsung and Google are saying
No official statements from Samsung other than asking people to send details of the problems on their customer support e-mail ([email protected]).
Samsung did post a quote on their Samsung UK Facebook wall that says 'We are aware of the volume issue and have developed a fix. We will update devices as soon as possible.' This quote is said to be originating from Google according to Samsung, Clove, androidpolice.com and The Verge.
Google employee has confirmed in an Android developer chatroom that Google is developing or has developed a software fix for the problem.
Another Google employee, Dan Morrill, shared a post by Lee Johnson on his wall and said that he is very accurate in his estimation about how software can fix this hardware flaw.
Google has replied to a customer support thread that there is a fix and it will be rolled out in the coming week. It is possible that the 'coming week' refers to week starting 5th of December.
What sellers are saying
Handtec and Clove conducted additional testing on the devices and both found the volume bug to exist on their devices.
Handtec stopped the shipments after the problem became widely known. Samsung Distribution also stopped shipments for sellers few days later, delaying shipments of the device for a week.
Clove stated that according to what they heard from Google, that a software fix is being worked upon. Clove stated that according to their sources the problem is in software and not hardware. Clove has not gotten this information from Google or Samsung directly however and refers to their inside research about information found online and their own sources.
While it was originally believed that the shipment delays are because of Samsung flashing the devices with updated software that will fix the bug, the new devices shipped on 29.11 also carry the bug according to Clove. It seems Samsung held the shipments to give Google additional testing time with the fix and held back possible refunds and replacement handsets would have gotten had the shipments not been held back.
Is it hardware or software problem?
All the tests conducted by many users so far indicate that the problem is in hardware and that the device receives signals from 2G that it should not receive due to not being protected from radio interference. This is also shown while the device runs in bootloader.
Many engineers here and in other forums and social networks say that a cheap hardware shielding would fix the problem easily, however Samsung and Google intend to fix the problem with possibly as valid means through software.
If the software fix manages to patch the problem, then it really does not matter if the problem was in software or hardware, as long as the device works properly and there are no after-effects, since some users fear that the software fix of a hardware might cause additional battery drain or unresponsiveness problems. But this is merely an opinion, we will know more once the patch is out.
The flaw is confirmed to be a hardware flaw by engineers, as well as a Google employee (referred to above). But both state that it is common for this type of hardware flaw to be patched with software and it is likely that many devices you already own have such patches in place without you knowing it.
What you can do
Wait for the update to arrive on your Galaxy Nexus. Google is slowly rolling out a fix to all handsets right now. Make sure you have internet or data connection for the update and have your phone in a charger just in case while updating.
Have it on mine
bought from Phones4u in the Trafford centre, Manchester
This looks really bad. While I am sure many people who don't have this problem won't even bother to vote in this thread, the fact that there's just one vote for someone who does not have a problem, is a surprise. I expected 50%-50% at worst.
Bought mine from O2 store in Liverpool. Problem continues even after factory reset.
Phones4u market street manchester.
I also posted the problem on Samsung UK Facebook page, those of you who have a problem should post there too so they are made aware of the problem. This might help get to the bottom of things quicker.

Anyone reported to Google support forum?
dont have the device yet so would be hard for me to respond when google asks for logs etc. That would be the best thing to do though.
According to this video, it seriously looks like a hardware issue, so letting us know where you got the phone would be even more helpful.

I haven't noticed any problem with my phone but I have locale installed so I'm not sure if that is masking the problem.
to those trying to replicate, try turning off wifi, then disabling 3G (settings - wireless & networks - more - mobile networks - use only 2G networks). When it connects, get some data going (load a large website for example), or make a call, see if that sets it off.
it may not work 100% of the time (if it's really radio interference, there are a lot of variables) but it seems to be related.
I do have this issue. Got mine at the launch event at the Oxford Street Phones 4U.
Anyway in the other thread it looks like people are narrowing down the problem to something related to 3G or Wi-Fi signal. I think that might be the case since it had only happened to me while I am outside and not connected to Wi-Fi. (I use JuiceDefender to automatically disable Wi-Fi if it doesn't find any known spots)
I got mine from Oxford St. too. Same problem here.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
had this problem yesterday with my vodafone sim.
been using it with my o2 sim today and not had the issue occur.
doubt the network would be an issue but thought i'ld just throw it in there.
yep, I have the problem too. I got mine from Phones 4 u On the lauch day in Oxford Circus. Hope this is not HW related!
I seem to have this problem intermittently. Thought it was just me doing something wrong.
Got mine from O2 over the phone.
I'm assuming it can be fixed with a software patch.
Im also having this issue. Purchased from phones4u today 19th nov 2011.
Dosnt happen all the time though. It did happen when i had my old desire next to it and was loading spotify on my desire....
What software version does everyone have? Hopefully the next (assuming 4.0.2) will fix it.

This may have been posted already, but having searched the forum I've not been able to find any answers to this...
I have a Desire on Orange and I've flashed it back to factory spec. Before doing this and afterwards, I'm finding that when the data status bar displays 3G, I cannot receive or send data. If I try browsing like this, it eventually switches over to HSPDA and I get good data transfer.
I know it's a 'feature' to swap onto HSPDA, but I reckon that if I have four bars of signal and it's displaying 3G, I should get some connectivity, no matter how slow.
Is anyone on Orange or any other network experiencing this? I tried phoning Orange, and they were next to useless, trying to tell me that there were 3G masts down in the area (and getting very confused when I asked them why I could get on the 3G network with no problems).
Hope this gets sorted out soon and it's not a problem with the handset!
You're not in the City of London by chance..?
The reason I ask, is that I'm on Orange, and I too have problems with 3G data transfer there - but like you, when the H appears it works just fine. Normally I just get the 3G with an 'up arrow' but nothing coming back down.
That problem only occurs where I work, and I'm not alone. At least 3 of my colleagues in the office with Orange iPhones have the same issue.
I spoke to Orange about this and they acknowledged that 2 of the transmitters in the area have known faults (one of which is ongoing since something like the 22nd March). Until they fix these, it's likely to continue to be problematic.
Interesting, because I'm in Bristol and they told me that two masts were down as well. Coincidence or lying about not having a clue?

I think in my case they were fairly genuine with their comments. The person I spoke to gave quite specific details about the faulty cells and when I spoke to my colleagues who'd also been having difficulties, they actually commented that that date in March was about when their iPhones started playing up.
Interestingly, one thing she suggested as a workaround was to shut the phone down and take the battery out for a minute or so. What she said was by doing this, the phone would 'forget' all the local cells and stop trying to connect to them when I powered it up again. The idea being that the phone would always give priority to cells that it knew of, ahead of any alternatives that may actually be working.
I'm not sure how true that is, but to be fair to her that does actually seem to work very well when I'm having problems - although I actually found simply shutting the phone down seemed to be just as effective.
I did however enjoy telling my colleagues with the iPhones that all they had to do was shut down their phones and take the battery out for a minute!
They said the exact same thing to me. Haven't tried it yet, but I will give it a go. Thanks!
I have an original Desire bought in Norway, and imported (and hence VAT free!) to the UK, using my T Mobile SIM that has worked perfectly well in my G2/Hero.
Every few minutes or so, irrespective of how many connection bars, the network will suddenly drop off, and I get the "Cross of doom" on the reception icon.
If I am in the message app (standard HTC messages), and this happens, it will kick me off any message I was composing at the time, and I have to start again when the connection is back. It will also have no messages in the inbox until the network is back some seconds later and everything loads. It's almost like a blackout all of a sudden.
It will drop calls for the same reason, and 10 seconds or so I am back on connection.
I sent it back to HTC using the Global Warranty Scheme, who have changed the Main Board, FOC, and collected/delivered by courier. Very efficient service BTW. I was so disappointed to find it still having the same problem.
I have also exchanged my SIM with T Mobile for a new one (Same number). I have ordered a Vodfone PAYG SIM just to experiemt the likelyhood it may be the network provider. However, it looks more like the radio suffers a sudden loss of power, and conks out.
The APN settings have been set to WCDMA only (changed from AUTO/WCDMA) as it seemed to sort it out, but I got excited too soon.
At my wits end, as the phone is miles ahead of my G2 in so many ways, and I love it, but I don't know whether it's a T Mobile issue or if I should send it back to HTC again. As it's not provided by T Mobile, and I have another 7 months left of my contract, I am stuck if it's network related.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
OK...have now popped the PAYG Vodafone SIm into the phone, and it barely has reception and drops out too.
...so have phoned HTC again, and UPS will once again be collecting it on Monday. I asked what happens if a fault is still not found, and after the third return I can apply to have the phone replaced by HTC. It's not ideal, but beats having to pay for a flight to exchange it abroad.
Still, if anyone have any suggestions, please let me know!

Just an FYI, but I too am on T-Mobile, and recently replace my G2 with a Desire.
I find the network reception on the Desire is much better than on my G2, and I've no problems with dropped connections.
I know this doesn't help you, but it does point to the problem being your particular device.

Thanks Dave, this does strengthen the case thinking it's the device. HTC were pretty swift in returning the device last time, so if it means a week X 2 being without it, I can live with that as I can then ask for it to be replaced on warranty direct from HTC.
I have the same issue with a Stock Desire from Vodafone..
Signal drops but more often it fluctuates like hell ... calls are dropped...
or other people can't hear me properly ...
Maybe it is an issue that will be resolved with a "Radio" update from HTC ?
Does someone know maybe this happened in the past with other HTC handsets and got sorted out later..
It is really buggy...
my girlfriend is having the same issues with her Desire
we applied the official update that was released a week or 2 ago (with a new radio) but that didn't solve the issue
sometimes she also hears a weird sound before the call goes dead..
did anybody have any luck in getting this solved?
will a custom rom fix the issues?
thanks!
coming from a htc hd2 (switched for this particular reason) i can report that this has happened on many htc phones, it is NOT a device problem, it has been mostly linked to your location and interference (buildings etc) as the frequencies used by the latest htc antennas use a frequency which does not penetrate as well.
you can read the 50 or so pages of it for the hd2, SOME progress has been made but never fixed, the only hope is HTC releasing a fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614119
thanks for your fast reply!
I checked the thread you mentioned but it seems to be all about internet issues
my girlfriend never uses mobile internet so the issues she has are call related
these don't happen every day but every few days
about once every 3 weeks she gets a total signal drop which can only be solved by rebooting (this seems to be something mentioned in the thread)
then again most probably internet, call and signal issues are most likely to be caused by the radio so it could be the same problem..
is anybody experiencing the same weird loud static noise sound from time to time before a call gets auto-ended?
I just want to get all the facts straight because she is planning on sending it back to HTC for repair but if it's a new radio flash she needs there is no point in sending it back
sorry for the long post
Why don't you try setting it on AUTO, or GSM only, even better?
Sound like sudden loss of WCDMA connection.
tried that this week but the issue still remains..
is this something that can be fixed by flashing a custom rom?
or do we need to wait for HTC to provide another radio?
Maybe....
Maybe this is not your case but I want to share with you.
I had the same problem with Hero and then with the Desire. It was very frustrating. Then I got it: all the programs like auto-killer. task-killer etc were acting killing (apparently random) my voice call. Incredible ! Now I have the same Disre, but I haven't installed any task killer or task manager. The device works good and I don't have dropped calls anymore
Again, maybe it's not your case. Maybe could be helpful for someone else...
Just try if you have some task killer installed. Uninstall it
I occasionally will lose data connectivity out of no where. Half the time it happens after a soft reset. The 4G/LTE icon is still on the screen when this happens (mostly with full reception bars), and I still have access to voice.
The only "fix" I've encountered is turning airplane mode off/on three times, then powering the device off/on, repeating this process at least 3-4 times.
My sim card is provisioned correctly (obviously it works since I've had data before).
Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

wow, of all the reviews, all the conversations with owners and testers, you are the first to mention this. Are you in an lte area? I know a higher concentration of drops appear to occur on lte areas
We'll all have to watch this one.
I think you have a bad phone. You will likely need a new phone to fix this. I know becuase this is what my 1st Droid Razr did. Does the phone get hot when this happens? does it seem slow as crap data speeds, like you can't even get a 360p youtube to load and web pages take forever. when this was happening my H+ S2 would make my RAZR look like it was on poor 3g/good 2g.
My isuse it some times droped EVERY thing or some times all data, but voice worked. A few times I fell back to 1x ( verizons 2G) and a lot of times 3g. (good day there 3g SUCKS and if any one tells you diffent take a 50 cal and .... ok you get it.)
Any way hope it gets fixed.
WPCentral has a review out (http://www.wpcentral.com/wpcentral-review-att-nokia-lumia-900) and noted the same thing. Possibly a bug: "We have seen an odd occurrence where our Wi-Fi connection can receive data but outgoing data crawls. We’re not sure why that is but haven’t seen it before on our other Windows Phones which causes us to raise an eyebrow. We’ve also had a few reports from early users noting the same behavior. Toggling the Wi-Fi on/off for a few minutes seems to do the trick but we’re a little concerned that this may an early bug."
Whats interesting is that users (like myself) who have moded their phones to re-enable the internet sharing option on devices that originally had it disabled - encounter the same issue. Leads me to believe that it could be a bug in the OS itself relating to internet sharing.

Should've been more clear, I don't have a lumia, but a Focus.
turns out to be a software issue with an update coming on 4/16. id post a link to the nokia site saying so, but i dont have enough posts, plus im sure you guys already saw it over all the tech blogs.
I have this issue as well.
me too! no data
Problem will be solved by April 16... Will need to update software...Also every lumia purchased until 21st will be given $100 credit towards attach bill.. Pretty much getting this phone for free!

Dear forum elders, dear friends,
About 1.5 months ago I bought 1 Mi 10T, 8/128 device and until 2 days ago, the strangeness started in the device, which was working flawlessly with everything;
By the way, for 1.5 months the phone bootloader was off and I was using everything original.
When I was shopping after work, I noticed that the telephone network was gone at the grocery store I entered, there were frequent commutes, I didn't care much, but when I had a job with mobile banking, the situation got serious. My line is Pttcell, by the way ....
I asked the informal cashier friend if the operator and his phone were working, Turk Telekom and he said it works (Same infrastructure)
Then I went home and saw that the network had improved and I thought it was a temporary problem until I got back to the market place ...
Afterwards, a fire fell into me, as you know, the device is abroad, a long time passed and a sudden malfunction started ...
What is written above is the occurrence and development stages of the fault, by the way, in the device; no tumble, fall, crash, dislocation, change, dye under the skirt, etc. You know, if I drop it for once, I won't be sad ...
Then I talked to the supplier and got advice, he is a friend who does not understand much about this business, he only sells, but he said that such problems are usually software and if I open the bootloader and do a repair, the device will most likely be fixed ...
In previous tests, I found that the device had no problems with the capture, and usually stuck in band1 (2100), band3 (1800) and band7 (2600mhz). The application I use for this is "Network Cell Info Lite" and after unlock / repair it is widely used as "Network Signal Guru".
I am dealing with semi-professional repairs myself. Normally, such errors are caused by the IC called RF_Amplifier and pass as an antenna problem, the device loses the network unconditionally at all frequencies, the call is interrupted, etc. But in band 3, 1 and 7, the device has no problem, so neither draw nor break, etc. While at home, I actively use everything including VoLTE, I do not have access problems and interruptions.
When I manually switch the network to other modes Except 4G and 5G, it completely goes away. In modes such as 2G (GSM - Edge) 3G (HSDPA - WCDMA), there is no network signal on the device.
After trying with 2 more operators and clarifying the situation, I decided that there was a baseband malfunction and wanted to share the situation with you, dear Masters. If there is anything you want to ask or want me to try in detail, I look forward to your valuable help / comments and suggestions.
Transactions made so far;
Originally, 2 types of sim cards have been tried with Vodafone and Turk Telekom, both have the same symptoms (I couldn't find Turkcell, but I don't think it will change the result)
Bootloader unlocked, repaired with original QCN, repaired with Qcn taken from a different device, the result is still the same ...
The questions in my mind;
Does modem software cause such a problem?
Is there a possibility that it is from the Modem Chip?
Are there any chances of it being one of the Network Switchers (IC)?
If you encounter this kind of problem and have a solution, I expect your help, otherwise my new phone will be a very expensive tablet ...
Best regards.
A few users have been complaining that the Pixel 6 devices (Pro and regular) have been suffering from losing the mobile data connection. The phone seems to lose the connection to 5G/4G/LTE, then the signal shows up that there is no network connection (exclamation mark with the triangle). It takes up to a few minutes until the phone catches up (you can speed up the process by switching airplane mode on and off again).
From my impression this happens esp. when switching the air tower to which the phone connects, but I might be wrong.
However, Google has promised a fix for March - issue still persists. I just received an answer from the german Google support acknowledging that this is a software issue and that this will now be fixed with the June patch. Bummer, waiting another three months.
What's quite disturbing... here on reddit a few users said that swapping out the phone with one which was manufactured more recently fixed the issue for them. Some say that only phones built within the first few weeks are affected. So this might be a combination of h/w and s/w issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/tkfs5p
My rma fixed the issue. It's definitely defective hardware.
If you can post the first 2 digits of the serial number for your current model for comparison that would be interesting for me.
My launch day unit with connection issues was manufactured September 2021 and my rma unit was December 2021. I theorize the first few runs of phones had defective modems. Somewhere between September and December the issue was sorted.
The first two digits of the serial number:
First digit: year of manufacture should either be a 1 or 2 for 2021 or 2022
Second digit: 1-9 (January to September) or A-C (October - December)

Glad that everything works for you.
The statement is not that all early units suffer from this issue, but it looks like that most of the affected units are from the early production days.
I have tried both - eSim and physical SIM. Same behavior.
I had several connectivity issues before march build (had zero connection at home, couldn't get SMS/make phone calls). March build kinda fixed that, meaning at least I got SMS again and was able to make phone calls from my home office, but connection in terms of MB/s was still bad. I just updated to april and will see if that one continues to improve on top of it.

I'm already in April and it didn't get any better.
I have the feeling that things got worse with the March build, but I can't prove it in any way.
Next thing... I will try to get T-mobile to swap out my phone. I'm really sick of all the connection issues
It happened to me a couple days ago. I was outside listening to Spotify. Suddenly the data indicator started showing "E" and it wouldn't change back to 4G until I restarted the phone. Annoying.
I havent had any issue with my pixel, I wonder if this is a hardware issue...
Today someone from T-Mobile Germany customer service gave me a hint that there are a few of these lemons. So... I have initiated a replacement - really, it bothers me so much. I often use my mobile phone when I need to have information quickly or get things done quickly. My blood pressure goes up whenever I see the mobile data connection going off, which happens quite often.
Hey I got this every so often, more less recently.
I have found switching off the "automatically select network" on T-Mobile to work so far. Not sure if this is an end all, but seems to also fix not being able to call out sometimes.
I've had calls drop multiple times after the April update even after factory resetting my phone. The call will just turn off like I was never in a call in the first place. I've tried updating to the QPR beta and it's still happening. I do have a better signal with the newest modem but seriously, Google needs to fix this. In the meantime I've been forced to use my work iPhone as I can't afford to have dropped calls with clients.
