Hi,
I have a very poor 3G at home...
Do anyone has any suggestion to make my signal stronger?
Do cell signal boosters works for this phone?

Flash your Radio in CM recovery. I noticed slightly better signal strenth from the stock radio. I find that KB3 works best for me. I've only found 3 different radio files what work with my Nexus S.
However, judging from the number of posts you have, I'm sure you've probably tried that already.

Ive noticed generally speaking, my Nexus S has a slightly weaker radio than other devices. At my local college a week ago I couldn't make a call, while the person beside me on a free pay as you go phone was talking up a storm. Made me sad.
Hi guys, i'm having the same problem (i already put the B3 radio but same situation).
Any solution or workaround to make the signal stronger?

apply the HSDPA tweak
I use stickers
I use the same sticker that I was using in my HD2. This only works, as I read, for 2G.

There is a lot of controversy on this stickers but for $1...I have been using them for more than 8 years.
I'm starting to believe that NS + T-Mobile towers have very poor signal.
I rarely get signals inside any classroom. If lucky, Edge connections, if not, I can only make emergency calls.
I see other people using AT&T and Verizon's phone work totally fine, while mine is not.
I tried all types of tweaks.. faster? maybe. signal strength? same as before.
Using KD1 radio.
Ehh I'm pretty sure its the internal antenna placement or poor cellular radio quality because signal on my ns4g blows (like 1 bar or more less than my HTC hero) and I know many others have this issue....

I'm sure in my case is a phone problem. I have also an HTC Desire and a Acer Liquid and with the same operator and in the same place the signal is stronger.

On the positive side, Nexus S4G/GSM radiation level is almost/less than half of the HTC Hero.
Nexus S4G 0.64
Hero Sprint 1.13
Nexus S gsm. 0.51
This makes the Nexus S safer & healthier for you.

Yes but at the end i have a very powerful device that more or less makes also the coffee but doesn't allow me to have the basic function like calling and browsing the net
Any success with signal booster?
Ok...time for ranting...
WTF, Google!? I have been waiting for months for the Note II to be released, then caught wind of the Nexus 4. "Ooo...new Nexus phone...Snapdragon Pro...mmm...might have to wait..." I thought.
It is leaked to hell-n-back but there's one thing I don't remember seeing in all the leaks...
NO LTE!!!!!
WTF, Google/LG!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
You trying to be the iPhail 4S?!?!?!?!?!?!?
The Optimus G has LTE!!!!
The Nexus 4 tainted my want of the Note II with its inferior CPU only to leave out something I used to knock the iPhail 4S for...LTE...I'm legitimately annoyed with this...
Why can't Google EVER get a Nexus device 100% right? Hell...even 95% right would be doable...
Am I the only one that's like "WTF, GOOGLE?!"
/rant
I pretty much agree. I can deal with the lack of storage options, but the lack of LTE I think is a deal-breaker.
I don't know about you but HSPA+ is plenty fast for me plus lte is a battery drain.

We knew it didn't have LTE from the FCC docs. So it shouldn't have been a big surprise.
Guess a ton of people choose not to read FCC docs, those weirdos.
Honestly, though, I probably hate you if you have to ***** about something as trivial as LTE.
The Nexus 4 sucks....

To the OP,
Pls stop your whining. A little more research and you'd be able find out why the Nexus won't have LTE. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus had LTE...so why Nexus 4 doesn't? Simple. To achieve LTE it would mean to have both radios built in to the phone. And that sacrificed a lot of the user experience. You can ask every single Verizon Galaxy NExus owner and they'll tell you how much laggy it was compared to its international version without LTE. Another reason why Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE is that, tactically, Google wants to make sure their devices are available for use for every single network on the planet.

I tried to like this phone, but I have come to the realization that I just don't. No bumper, charging mat or screen protector has helped me enjoy it anymore. Getting this device to work correctly on at&t is a nightmare, I'm having connection issues to this day. No apn, imei or change of plan has fixed it. The phone has light bleed, which is frustrating to look at and buzzing which is annoying to hear. Rma is not my thing it takes to long and I've heard to many horror stories.
Stock android is nice though I feel the experience of say the note 2 is better. I'd rather have a skinned version of android and then when I am looking for a vanilla look and feel I can ROM aokp or cm 10 which seems to be the better version of stock android anyway with added utility and customizations.
Think my run with at&t and my nexus is over. Time for a new beginning with Verizon LTE which is available 100% in my area where at&t is not and I think I'm going with a droid DNA.

Good choice man! this device is not for everyone :good:
As for me AT&T works fine in my area, never had any problems. Had a few friends not getting signal earlier with their sprint iphones and I let them use mine to make a call :silly:
Hey man, it's your choice! Pure capitalistic decision here. You are not satisfied with the device, which you have every right to feel that way. It doesn't fit your needs and you like the Note 2. You don't need some AOSP zealots approval to move on. I hate AT&T personally. They treat you like crap, and though they are the No.2 carrier, with GSM, I wouldn't go back to them for all the tea in China. If I was a high roller, I might consider Verizon as they hands down have the best coverage in the USA. Their 3g is slower than my T-Mobile... and even sometimes their LTE, but good luck getting ANY 3g coverage in upstate NY (aunt lives there) on T-Mobile outside Rochester proper. If you would be served better with a Verizon Note 2, go there brother and be happy with your purchase! I personally don't want to go back to touchwiz (been AOSP too long), but the phone is awesome! Has a beautiful screen, expandable storage, great processor, 2nd best Android battery life (Razr HD Maxx being No.1), S-Pen, multi-window multitasking, etc.
Don't think you have to have a Nexus or the acceptance of the Nexus crowd. Vote with your bucks and your feet. Wish you well with the Note 2.
Are you going to sell the Nexus?
I personally have had zero issues on AT&T via Straight Talk and love this device. I would highly recommend sticking with a GSM provider though, if you have service in your area, T-Mobile perhaps? As GSM unlocked devices gives one much more freedom to move carriers, plus, I suffered hell with Verizon, they are by far one of the worst companies I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with; never again.
Either way, good luck.
It's called T mobile?
I honestly never see the purpose of these threads. The forum isn't your personal blog. And I don't think any body necessarily has any care what you're saying (as mentioned previously by the person who said cool story bro). If you don't like the phone that's fine, just be on your way. Not being mean or anything but the general forum isn't ones blog

either the galaxy nexus or nexus 4. dont get a gn for sprint, a gsm gn on att would be better(would be best on tmobile). sprint data speeds are terrible, 3g and lte.
I guess first thing we need to know is what carrier. People will say DNA, note2, gs3, nexus4. In the end any phone will compliment the n7. I have a thunderbolt and does just fine for me. I tether to my n7 and sit the phone aside while I use my n7.
One thing to keep in mind about the gnex is battery life is very poor. People has posted it lasting 4 to 5 hrs tops. In the end any phone you get will be fine and no phone will have an edge over another. Only thing a n7 needs from a phone is tethering.

not true. galaxy nexus battery life is very good(gsm. lte versions are a bit worse). i easily get 4-5 hours screen time on my gnex. if i use it lightly, it can last for days. if i use it heavily, itll last all day easily.
I would have to say any of the nexus phones or mkbhd's "super nexus" what is a routed

Not true at all. The galaxy nexus battery life is very good. I easily make it through the day on a single charge. Obviously if you play games and watch videos non stop then it will go like any other phone, but like I said. The battery life for the gnex is very good.
Also I would say to the OP that a nexus handset would compliment the nexus 7 very well. Either the galaxy nexus or nexus 4 would be a good choice. Depends on preference really.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Nexus 4 or a GNex but like people have said the N4 is sold out so I would get a Gnex. DROID Dna or One X+ are also great phones. I wouldn't go with sprint I hear nothing but bad things about them. My father has sprint and half the time I get a bad connection with him and he gets dropped calls constantly. Data isn't very good either. I'm with at&t and have no problem with them but if I hadn't been with at&t for 8 years I would go with T mobile.

galaxy nexus or the new nexus 4 are great with a nexus n7. Using the n7 means i use the phone less to browse and youtube meaning i get great battery life out of both, but the galaxy nexus is always there ready to google something if i need it.
I usually get 3days battery from my galaxy nexus
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There's too many variables to suggest you a new phone. It's you that matters.
Do you love taking photos with a phone? Would you take advantage of a replaceable battery? Do you like to play a lot of games? Do you like a huge screen or would you prefer better one handed use? Do you like a screen with realistic colours or one with in her face colour saturation? Can you use 4G where you live? Do you use your phone as an mp3 player all the time?...
The list goes on. What is a great phone for someone else may not necessarily be a great phone for you.

I'm considering getting one instead of an N4. I just love amoled screens, and the extra processing power of an n4 is not important to me since all my real gaming is done on my N7 now. My phone, like someone else mentioned in another thread, plays WiFi tether ***** more than anything now.
To be honest I'm still perfectly happy with my galaxy i9000. Since I've already bought an N7 though I'd go for the galaxy nexus for the HD amoled screen mainly. The only thing making me wonder was a guy a few posts ago saying the battery life is poor on the gnex, although at least its got a replaceable battery. But like you say the development on it is similar to the huge development still going on for the original galaxy s which is what I want. Although the n4 will have huge development too.

If you want unlimited and you're looking at going with a contract there's always T-Mobiles unlimited option, their unlimited value plan is 70 bucks for legit unlimited. And I would recommend a nexus phone also. If you can't get ahold of a nexus 4 maybe try to find a used gsm g'nex.

The nexus 7 is the most valuable electronic device for the money in my opinion. Therefore the phone to accent it should be equally priced well per pound. Nexus 4 then skyrocket s2 or t mobile s2 before galaxy nexus because of SD slot.

My GNex got great battery life much better stock than my N4 now I gain much more battery on my N4 with custom kernels than I did on my GNex but battery was never a huge issue for me with it. I'd rather not go AMOLED anymore but if I did it would be a GNex again over a GS3 that's why I kept my GNex and didn't sell it. But if u can hold out a lil longer the N4 is to me far superior. I agree with the post above about now that I have an N7 too I use it more for my browsing and entertainment activities except while at work where my N4 is still my best friend. Better battery life now for my N4 as I use it far less cause of the N7. If u like AMOLED go with the GNex:thumbup:

Like the title says I'm thinking of switching my the galaxy s4. My main concern is for the battery. I know this is extremely different for each person, but more than not I see people complaint about the battery life.
I average 4.5 hours of screen time and just wondering what most people are getting. I browse the web, do some email and texting and may use Pandora for a few minutes. Not a heavy user, but I do get on it at times.
If anyone else has made the switch what re ur likes/dislikes so far??

I have come from the s4 and have never looked back. The Samsung was not a bad phone by any means, but IMO this phone by far outshines it. Battery gets me through the day and than some with moderate to heavy screen time, two push email accounts, tune in radio, etc. I noticed that the Samsung lagged and stuttered at times, not the case with the HTC. Dual speaker beats audio, can't beat them. Only plus for Samsung is remove able battery and micro SD. But HTC comes with 32 gig which is plenty, if not store it in the clouds. I can go on and on, I have spent a fortune switching phones, I have owned just about all top tier phones in the US, and the HTC far exceeds any other that i have used. Hope that helps you out with your decision.
I have thought of coming over from S4 as well but heard there was problems connecting to lte is thus true
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I think the people saying it has trouble connecting to lte must be in cities where it was recently deployed because I haven't had any lte issues. Wherever my S3 gets lte so does the HTC One. I'm in Atlanta which was one of the first four cities to get lte so we have it everywhere.

I agree, I have the s4, icrap5, and the HTC. If I get lte on one of the 3 the HTC picks it up as well. I believe it just depends on how complete the towers are in areas of use.
I live the design of the one but will prolly out a case on it. With specs being pretty close I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I think the screen on the one looks better.
