There is a location at work where I have been with all my previous phones. Every one of them, except the Galaxy Nexus, would lose network coverage when holding the phone normally to type a text or email or such. I couldn't get the Galaxy Nexus to lose coverage at work at all.

But I can't say the same for the SGS2, Sensation, and One X.

I just think the Galaxy Nexus has exceptionally good mobile reception, and everything else is just normal.

My one X has terrible reception compared to my galaxy s2 but has incredible wifi signal, wish it was the other way round.

Unless I'm outside, I always have 1 or 2 bars now where as before I always had full signal.

I hope the upcoming software update fixes this issue.

I think it's as much a case of the indicator does not reflect the reality of the signal strengh correctly.
Often I have no signal bars but can make calls and send and recieve texts without a problem!

good to see the thread that this is a common problem as i have noticed this from day one and when asked here, no one replied and i am so confused if it was my phones problem. hope that this is a software issue. all my other phones recieve full signal in my house but One X alone keeps moving between 1-5 bars

I've used HTC One X and Galaxy Note in the same places. The Galaxy Note would pick up signals where the HTC One X would not. Had similar issues with HTC Vivid. The Galaxy S II was better than the HTC One X or the HTC Vivid but not as good as the Galaxy Note. None of these had the kind of reception I would call good. I can't remember the last time if ever that I had a phone with acceptable reception. I would rather have poor reception than go back to the iPhone. As I remember, the iPhone 4 had really bad reception. It was a defective unit but the replacement worked fine. That's when I moved to the Android. But the fact I can talk on the phone or use the browser are only a couple of the reasons I use a phone so poor reception is not a deal breaker. Also, you have to lay some of the blame on the network.
