It has only been a few days since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus began to receive the long-awaited update to Android 4.0.4 in bulk and some problems are already emerging. From different parts of the world, users of this mobile are reporting that their devices lose the GSM signal with Ice Cream Sandwich. Google developers are already up to date and looking for solutions.
The first notices of problems reached the official Android page as soon as the month began, but the messages have accelerated in the last three days. Up to 200 posts report connectivity problems on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
They explain how, being the mobile at rest, with the screen off and no applications running in the background, GSM radio signal is lost. This will be causing some incoming calls to be missed. The problem disappears when the phone is reactivated.
The problem is having it all over the world. In the thread of the official Android page there are messages from the US, France, Brazil or Spain. Also, the loss of connectivity not only occurs in the official version of Android 4.0.4 downloaded to the device (OTA), it also happens in the modified ROMs based on this update.
Google engineers and developers already know of the incident and claim to have been working with it. First they have asked that those who have installed the latest update (but only the official one) and have this loss of radio signal, send them bug reports through the Bugreport service.
La issue seems to be CPU related, with the processor. When there is an application running in the background, the problem does not appear, only when the CPU stops having workload.
Although this update has also been released for other terminals, some practically identical, such as the Google Nexus S, there have been no reports of signal loss on mobiles other than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In fact, after four days with the update on my Nexus S, I have not detected this problem and I have not been able to reproduce it by following the steps indicated on the Android page.
The fact that two terminals that are 99% identical, with the same update (only the baseband version changes), one has a problem as serious as losing the signal and the other does not, shows again that fragmentation is the most important point. weak Android ecosystem. If you have encountered this problem, please let us know.

The same thing happens to me in SGS2 with official ICS 4.0.3 from Movistar
I upgraded to GS2 in Argentina and started to have serious 3g connectivity problems, applications crashing, a real disaster. And I understand that the problem is massive. Conclusion, wait for a patch? uninstall and go back to ginger?
I have bought a Chinese android 4.0, the Dapeng A75 and it does not connect to the mobile network. It only does it for Wifi and I don't know what to do. It is not the operator's problem, because I have tested it with Orange and with Movistar
Hello, the same thing happened to me, the solution was to restore the phone with the factory settings. I don't know what it is due to but the problem was solved. luck
I have changed the 3 phones for Samsung Galaxy Y with CLARO services and they all have a problem similar to the one they are reporting, eventually they are left without a telephone connection, they cannot receive or send calls or SMSs.
The problem is solved by turning the phone off and on, although this is not a definitive solution since you only realize when you want to make a call or someone who complains for not having the phone turned on.
I have not found a common cause but it has happened several times when I have moved from one area to another, it seems that the cell phone cannot refresh the connection to the new cell if it is not turned off and on again.
The Android version is 2.3.6 (GINGERBREAD), in Claro they have limited themselves to changing the SIM and blaming the lack of signal, which is absurd since turning off and on the equipment in the same position restores the service.
Ilizar I updated the Sony xperia arc s from version 4.0.4. Since I connected my phone to the laptop and he suggested updating to optimize the operation and I found myself with the surprise that I can no longer use my computer as a modem in any way, neither by cable nor wifi nor by bluetooth.
And now I do not know what to do, who previously used the n8 Symbian and I never had this type of update problems
I would like to help me with a solution to at least return to the previous version to improve this problem
guy No, I don't get that at all on either phone. HD video looks great on both those dapyliss. I've been in the video industry for many years and have a good idea what constitutes a good image, and both the Galaxy Nexus and the DROID RAZR look very good. Neither has any blocky artifacts I can see Bob at Wirefly
Quadrant is an app that you can download for free from the Android Market. When you run it on your phone, it tests your phone's itearnnl components and creates a score. You can use this score to compare your phone with other phones. It's called a benchmark test Bob at Wirefly
