Just when you thought it was safe to take a break from writing about the Galaxy Nexus — here we are again, writing about the Galaxy Nexus. In today’s installment of what’s beginning to be the most played-out soap opera since Days of Our Lives, it appears owners of the Verizon LTE G-Nex have experienced significant signal strength issues. Some folks are even dropping calls left and right. As you can imagine, this leaves lots of room for an irritated bunch of Verizon customers — none of which are afraid to voice their experiences.
Well, good news for you, if you’re in the Big Red Galaxy Nexus crew. Verizon has owned up to the issue, and is working on a fix to take care of it. Unfortunately, there’s no time frame for the update’s release, but it’s nice to know that the issue has been acknowledged and is being looked at by The Man. Here’s the tweet from @VZWSupport:
We’ll be sure to keep our eyes and ears on this story for an update. Once it is available, we’ll gladly let you know. For now, we want to know how your experience with the Galaxy Nexus has been thus far. Signal strength issues got you down? Are you asking everyone you know, “Can you hear me now?”

Maybe they’re holding it wrong? I don’t know.
Read alot of the signal strength issues people are having. If I had seen them first, I would not have purchased it. I have 2 verizon phones, one cheapy built 10 years ago that has never once crapped out on me, and the nexus which I have had for 2 days and lost signal strength dozens of times and has crapped on me 3 times so far. For people to say that it is not the strength, but a bar issue – they obviously have not used one – or just got really lucky because there is an issue and I hope samsung or verizon don’t just wash it over with stupid comments like it really doesn’t exist, or really isn’t a problem.
I think there is a definite software issue with handling the radio. My Nexus S which I loaded 4.0.3 on is having trouble holding onto the wifi signal in my house, and the SSI displayed now is lower than before ICS. I’m not having dropped call issues, but I am in a strong signal environment most of the time. Now if they would just pull the CIQ data and get it fixed! lol
