I just received the galaxy nexus and got it from optus Australia, ever since geting it 4 days ago the reception keeps dropping out and data fails to work at optimal speed as it used to in my HTC wildfire or my iPhone 4, I've flashed android revolution hd , kang, and currently using foxhound and all have updated apns. Wonder is my device just a doggy one or is everyone else in Australia getting the some problem?

Try putting a different baseband on your phone. You should be able to find your countries carrier on the forums here. Just search.

LMAO! Rough man.
On-topic though, all good with mine on Telstra bud. Have you tried the latest APN at Ausdroid? Not sure if the Optus one has been updated recently... May also work if you try setting your radio to AUS by default, link and how-to coming shortly (I'll just find it).
haha im with telstra, brought it from optus.
do you happen to have any links to the baseband download? thanks.
I figured that as soon as I posted You should resurrect that Australian traders' thread in the MP.
- Go to the Dialer
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information
- Press MENU, "Select Radio Band" and select AUS2
- Reboot for good measure
This is supposed to optimise your radio to maximise use of the 850MHz band and stop it hopping off to 2100MHz in Metro areas.
Also use the following APN settings:
Name: Telstra Internet
APN: telstra.internet
MCC: 505
MNC: 01
Authentication: PAP or CHAP
APN type: internet
Some people recommend putting 'wap.telstra.com/wap' in the Server field. You should only use this if you need the Telstra portal, otherwise it just adds another link into the chain that isn't really necessary. TelstraOne will work just fine without it.
Let me know how you get on.
Yeh I've got same problem but after the update to 4.0.2 it got slightly better , I'm also on optus but got my phone from mobicity.
Its little annoying.

when i click the AUS2 Band and it came up with "Set [AUS2 Band] Unsuccessful is there an issue wioth my device? :S
also, i acccidently changed the network prefered type, what should it be?
hey ive got it all done, ill give you a heads up tomorrow and see how it runs for a day, because previously i was in the CBD and it was still slow as hell so ill give you a heads up if i have any problems, but the signal is on full when it was on 3 bars before

Not necessarily. Perhaps flashing the DVKK6 baseband (Telstra) may help. Unsure. If it has an Optus radio they may have done something to prevent it favouring 850MHz. This is just speculation on my part dude, it works fine on my Telstra unit. Perhaps this is one of the 'optimisations' Telstra made on their model.

No worries man, I hope it goes a bit better for you. I'm rural and getting 3.3mbps down, 1.2mbps up which is marginally better than my Galaxy Note. Considering I'm probably on a 5.7 or 7.2mbps backend, that's pretty good. No drop-outs either.
Good luck buddy.
ive had probles flashing the DVKK6 Baseband, it came up with "cannot load (radiio name in this case the DVKK6.img) is there something wrong with it? :S

Make sure you use the trimmed .img in post 6, not the one from the OP. Unzip it first (before you try and flash it) as it contains the MD5 hash also and this will stop the process (or worse).
Use fastboot to push it to your Nexus.
alright, thanks, it worked! thanks juzz! number 1 to come to! haha, ill see how i go with reception for the week. Cheers.
Juzz!!! I flashed the new basebands but i cant send text messages!! But i can make calls whats wrong? ):

You may need to change your SMSC buddy. I think it's in the menu where you change the radio to AUS2. I'll need to look up the correct number for you once I get to work. Sit tight man
EDIT: Okay. Enter the *#*#4363#*#* code, then go into phone info. Scroll to the bottom, you will see a field for SMSC. Refresh the field, and see what it contains. Mine is this:
07911614786007f0
You could try putting this in if yours is different. Let me know how you get on.

That's fine. It will only handoff to GSM where there's no 3G. As long as you're on AUS2, preferred order is 850, 2100, GSM
Hey all. Im not sure what it is but I have called att and they clame it is my phone and not something on their side.
Anyway ive been traveling from PA to NJ and VA all getting hspa+ connecfion but my download speeds are 50kb/s and not much better upload. The exception is connecting to lte but everywhere else is utter crap. Im sure I was getting better speeds when I got the phone so im not sure what I did.
I tried to flash another rom. Flash the stock modem again.
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Well their is two versions of hspa+ you have hspa+ & hspa+ combined with enhanced backhaul. According to the documentation that came with the phone hspa+ combined with enhanced backhaul is the one capable of 4G speeds, but this is only available in limited areas and your phone can't distinguish which hspa+ network it's connected too. So you may be connected to just hspa+ which may not be much faster than 3g depending on the quality of your connection.
Well I just placed my sim into my GS2 (had to line it up) and I was getting 2.5 MB/s down with that phone and only 300kb/s down on the Note 2. So something is up with my phone. I have reset it back to factory and used triangle away in hopes of returning it to get a replacement.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try? Im willing to try anything
I managed to fix it!!! I went into the service mode **#197328640#) and changed some values. I set the cdma to be automatic and reset two other values and BOOM! Reset the phone and now am getting 6MB/s down and 2MB/s up. Glad that I don't have to send the phone back!
What other values? I live in that area. At my house I get about 6 down but everywhere else is been .5 and 2 mb/s.... And I have Wifi at home so the house speed is irrelevant.

Sorry, been away studying. Ill try to remember.
Mind you I have little knowledge of what these values do so I take no responsibility. Maybe someone who knows something about them can post what they do..
First off get into service mode with the dialer code mentioned above. Than:
CDMA>Common>REBUILD
" > " > PREF Mode Set > CDMA_HDR_LTE_ONLY
" >Control>CDMA_band_select>Automatic
After that I did a reboot and it was working again. Let me say this will only apply if your speeds are in the ****ters everywhere. I was only getting a max of 500kb/s download everywhere I went (I traveled a few states recently and it was all bad except for LTE areas).
If you think its your device check another device before. I put my micro sim back into my Galaxy s2 (had to fidget to get the sim to line up) and ran a test and it was 3mb/s vs the 450kb/s on the note.
If this helps anyone Ill be interested to hear, I'm pretty sure I screwed it up in the first place but maybe ATT just sent out some bad devices and I did not notice till I tried.

i rooted my phone using the galaxy note 2 toolkit and have been suffering from constant loss of reception, whereever i'm at. in fact, it seemed worse downtown than in the suburbs. sitting in my office downtown i couldn't even send text messages or make phone calls, i would constantly be losing network connection.
i went back to stock EVERYTHING and i still had the same problem. it was so frusturating. thanks for the help!
all i did was rebuild CDMA and that fixed it! didn't try the other things you did.
I have a GT-9100 galaxy s2 that I use with the media net unlimited data plan and wondered if this phone works with it or not.
I have read that the S3 and HTC one unlocked get pushed to the smart phone plan just wondered if AT&T has done the same to this phone.
Thanks
It just depends on the phones imei. Sometimes they will be marked sometimes not. Samebwith EVERY phone out there.

Yea I am using it on AT&T. My speeds are on avg 3-5mbs down load and 1 upload. I can get 6-9mbs down load at night some times and in a few places was able to get over 2mbs upload, but that's rare. The highest download speed I ever got was 12mbs download and 2.6mbs upload.
Sadly even with 21mbs H+ built in the phone, AT&T only uses H+ 14/7mbs. So that really sucks. But on the good side I have gone over 100GB two times with out issue. No throttling or any of that.
On avg I really only use 5-20GB a month, I only used the 100GB when my ISP failed me. ( Screw you time warner Cable, will be glad to be rid of you soon.)

Can I by any chance see your APN settings? I just got my zperia ZL and I was on the $15/month unltd. plan. But AT&T switched me over to the expensive plan. Maybe my APN settings can be tweaked to allow me to stay with medianet.

Any luck with the ZL on Medianet?

I have been on the phone with TMO about the same thing for over a month, plus my issue goes a little further. I will lose connection to a tower and not get texts or calls until I reboot the phone.
TMO had me replace the phone and SIM card, then opened a ticket with the Engineers in Las Vegas to troubleshoot, their response was that it was a known issue and would be resolved in the next weeks or months.
Everything ran fine until they pushed out the 4G LTE update, after that the service has been horrible.... even after that update that was supposed to resolve it...
I am wondering if there is a ROM out there that someone built to address this issue as I have about had it...
I am rooted but haven't thrown a ROM on it .... yet

Im guessing you updated your phones softwarem if so, you may want to downgrade to a 4g non-lte radio, and set yourself up on a 4g apn as well. It should help at least until rhey correct their tower issues. 4g is still pretty fast and at least your mms / signal will work as you will be back in the 4g towers instead.
Edit
Actually try this:
Settings--> wireless and networks / more settings --> mobile networks --> network mode --> and select the automatic 4G /3g /2g setting
Then go to access point names and add a new one. The only 4 lines you need to edit are as follows :
Name - Tmobile 4g
APN - epc.tmobile.com
MMSC - http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
And
Apn type - default,supl,admin,dun,mms ( no spaces inbetween the comas )
Give it a shot and let us know if it helps. It should force you back onto the 4g towers which use a different frequency. If you still have issues, then keep all these settings active THEN try an older 4G radio.

It's screwed from coast to coast. Been back and forth driving from california to pennsylvania, and the network is spotty on LTE within LTE markets, otherwise it runs great until it hiccups.
Seems like you get the equivalent of 'buffer overrun' issues from cd burning. Gert a bunch of data quickly, then stops for a minute to sort it out, then another data burst.
Seems like it happens to deliver a handful of megs of data, then practically loses network service for a few seconds, then another couple megs of data.
Just what i've seen running around nationwide.
LTE is fast when you find it though, nowhere near the speed of my verizon LTE service, but I can live with it.
Hopefully once they finish the LTE rollout it'll be back to normal.
i use Menu Code *#197328640# to get rid of LTE on my Note 2. The option to switch to 4g only came on version 4.1.1. now its permanently off from the phone... no matter how many time i restore my phone.. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I think some people are too obsessed with this notion of battery life. Sure, LTE might degrade it a little, but is it really worth disabling completely? I'm sure I wouldn't, I want the full features of a phone, whether that is data speeds or other features. Unless you don't have a LTE plan, then I understand completely.

I think that's backwards move there! Because I love my LTE speeds I get, almost faster than some WiFi at home!!
If you don't want lte speeds, then don't get a LTE PHONE!
And another thing if your really concerned about battery life then purchase a extended battery! They start out at 6200 mAh, 6500, 7600, 9300. Don't think they'll have to worry about battery life with one of those!:thumbup:
And tons of external back up batteries also. I have a16,000 mAh backup battery

Automatic can drain battery if you're in between two towers, like I am.

Is there a way to permanently disable Edge? That would prove more useful for me.
Often time, there is a "4G" signal nearby but for 10 seconds I switch between Edge and HSPA I loose data connectivity.
