Hi everyone, does anyone experience a weak wifi receiver. I have compared it with my gtab. I usually got 3 bar signal by using my gtab but with galnex i only got 1 bar by average on the same place.

So a coworker just got the galaxy nexus phone and we tried yseing the android beam feature. Almost every time we use it it fails to send the pictures I try sending him. I have sbeam off on my phone and everything else that should be on is on, on both our phones but still no success. Any ideas? Thanks.

Oh I can get the picture to start sending but it fails on the Nexus.

I don't think sbeam will work unless it's another Samsung phone that's not nexus. It has to be a touchwiz model.

Hey all. I'm temporarily using a galaxy nexus (man, I missed this device) but I've noticed some real flaky WiFi behavior. It constantly disconnects and reconnects. Not to mention the range ain't that great. Don't get me wrong--i know what a special device this is, I'm just wondering if b/c maybe its a few years old this is simply as good as it gets with the WiFi radio it has. I've been using the galaxy s4 for a bit but I just sold it and am waiting for the note 3. This nexus is my "back up" device.
Thanks.

WiFi isn't related to the radio. Its controlled by the kernel. And for the record my WiFi works fine.
PS- I am also looking forward to buying the note 3 :beer:

I'm running paranoid android on 4.2.2. Can u recommend a good kernel for better WiFi performance? After a bit more testing yesterday I realize that the range is really the issue. If I'm close enough to my router I have no problems. But with my other phones I don't have this issue anywhere in my house. On this nexus tho, if I'm in my spare bedroom the WiFi goes in and out constantly.
Thanks again.

Try fancy
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4
are you using 5ghz oder 2.4ghz wifi?
the range on 5ghz is really bad, but on 2.4ghz it has a average range compared to other phones.

I have it set to auto. Should I switch to 2.4?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
give it a try, check if your router uses the 5ghz band.
my router is capable of 2.4 and 5ghz using the same ssid for both.
always had the problem that my phone connected to the 5ghz and lost connection to wifi through 2 walls.
after setting it to 2.4ghz only it got better.

Thanks man. I'll give it a shot. I'm also gonna try that fancy kernel. Any other good kernels you've tried?

big fan of stock image with stock kernel, especially since the 4.3 update.
i did not expierience a increase of wifi range with custom kernels, maybe a little bit more throughput.
but if you want to try a custom kernel its up to franco-kernel.

Go to your wifi settings and go to advanced. If avoid poor connections is checked then uncheck it

No release is bug free for me it fixed some anoying bugs like the data drops without bringing new ones.
And i have the impression it gave the gnex an other speed bump.
Im just wondering if anyone has been able to put any of the tab 3s into monitor mode like you can with the gs2 using bcmon. Without having to get bt5

Oooh I'm telling, your trying to crack a WiFi network, bad, bad boy. Probably not or at least no method I have seen yet and I am constantly on the boards over at AirCrack. Your better off going with a Nexus tablet for that kind of thing, works flawlessly on my Nexus 10 and my buddies Nexus 7 v2. The LG G Pad is also a good tablet for such things, just make sure to get the Google Play Edition. If you have an old Samsung Galaxy S2 laying around they also make a really good phone for BCMON, use CM 10.1 or above on it and you won't have any problems.
Dear all,
