well i was concerned about it, but i didnt post it on xda. so it must have been someone else. i think mine is imported. its not the one sold in the the google play market. so i figured my warranty will not be good in the US
2 Issues with Galaxy Nexus: Wifi + Multitouch, temporary fixes inside!
- Thread starter mohitrocks
- Start date
No, not good in the us but if it was purchased through expansys or negri they will send it back to the uk for repair on your behalf.
yeah i just straight traded for my gs2 for this phone so the warranty would be no good. but i do have tmobiles insurance and one of the guys at the store said my insurance would replace it with another phone just not the galaxy nexus since tmobile doesnt carry it.
Cool. I used to buy TMO insurance but found I never needed it. Decided to just self insure from now on
what a mess
my good old Galaxy S has done 2MB/s as my Asus TF101
my Laptop is between 6-8 MB/s on 811n and big files without any problem
but the Galaxy Nexus i9250 GSM goes not beyond 1MB/s
this is far to low :-(
I saw article where they talked about 4MB/s maybe they mixed up MegaByte and MegaBit because 4 MBit is what we get
even my daughters PSP is faster than is Galaxy Lexus

FWIW, my Internet connection at home is 20Mbps--and my GN gets this speed whether it's on 11g or 11n.
Since yesterday, without changing anything in my Gnex or my router, I am having wifi drops (the wifi disconects and reconnect in seconds)
Haha my wifi has finally been fixed! I, like you, have never had a working wifi on gnex, and was pissed at google.samsung. Until now lol. Thank you jellybean. Seems like somehow they fixed the wifi issue. For the rest of you having issues, try jellybean and see if it works for you.
So I have successfully downloaded 160+ apps, had wifi on all day without a hitch.
I am esteemed that I have a fully functional phone and won't be having to buy a GSIII or paying any extras for Data overages.
I had even sent this thing out for repair, and they still didn't touch the WIFI.
The only thing is that google could have been a little more 'up front' about this issue.
Hmm now I'm on V2 Bixie ROM and wifi seems to be ****ed up again. It's a little(very) better then before but still unusable. I have flashed Franco kernel, maybe that ****ed wifi? Anyways, how is yours? Still working?
Okay guys, i just tried changing my router settings from 802.11n to g and both my phone and transformer infinity are working GREAT, NO disconnects! Havent noticed any difference in speed on other devices when going from N to G. Phone on 4.1 and Infinity on 4.0.3. Try this and see if it works!
WiFi seems to be working fine on mine. 4.1.1 here OTA stock no root GSM Play Store version.
However, I still get a serious multitouch problem and screen sensitivity issue consistently when I:
1: unlock phone
2: go to messaging
3: go back to the home screen
4: go back to messaging using the recent apps menu
5: now try to type out a text quickly (stock JB keyboard)
After this typing fast on the keyboard tends to miss half of what I'm typing, leaving out tons of letters. Solved when I lock/unlock the phone again, but I shouldn't have to do that. It comes back every time the above 5 steps are followed. Anyone else get this problem?

2Issue 1: Multitouch issue
- As far as I'm aware of, there is no fix yet and a lot of people are experiencing the issue. What happens is whilst in landscape mode, sometimes, if one finger is placed at the bottom left of the screen, and another is placed on the bottom right, it'll fail to recognize the second touch (bottom right). This doesn't always occur, but does happen at times.
Simple fix: Lock the screen, then unlock it
Issue 2: Wifi consistently dropping
While downloading files, or sometimes even watching youtube videos, the wifi icon will disappear for a split second, then come back and an error will appear along the lines of " File could not be downloaded due to an error" or in the case of the market, it'll just stop downloading and give an error.
Fix: Sadly, the only fix that I have found so far for this issue is to get a new router. See my post here I used a Linksys WRT300N
EDIT: Another potential fix is to change some settings with the router but I'm not sure exactly what settings are needed to be changed.
EDIT2: I've created an issue about the wifi issue over here and according to marantz777@gmail.com:

Hey everyone,
I have had my Galaxy Nexus from Bell for a few days now, and it is a beast Everything runs smoothly, no lag (even with live wallpaper) and helps me accomplish everything I need from a mobile device ( a hell of a lot better than the milestone - international version of the Droid)
However, there are some prominent issues throughout the device.
1.) The wifi constantly times out, it will stop working at random times even if im 1-2 ft away from the router. Also, when I was downloading SD files for a game (asphalt 6 - 524mb file i think), i had to restart the download at least 10-15 times to finally get it to download. Is this a hardware issue? Can this be fixed through a software update
2.) The multitouch doesn't work at random times. For me, whether its plugged into the charger or not, at random times, when you touch the left side of the device in landscape mode, the device will not recognize touch inputs on the right side. HOWEVER, if you lock the screen, then unlock it, it works flawlessly. I am determined this is a software bug (may not be though) and if it isn't could someone please tell me? Thanks. And a lot of people also have this issue : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385587

I have two question for you awesome people at XDA.
1.) Could someone please either post an issue to Google regarding these two issues or direct me to a website where I can post them?
2.) Could any of these be a hardware issue? Do you think I should return it and get another one?
Thanks so much guys,
Mosh1
sorry dario, but you obviously are too much of a "quick-answer-guy"
if you searched a couple of minutes for the wifi issues on the GN you would definitely know that it has nothing to do with any routers
people around the globe are experiencing wifi issues with ALL routers in ALL places. wanna reconfigure all of them to make them work with the GN?
read before you post such pseudo.expert advise
again: sorry that i sound a little bit offending, but i just am done with samsung AND with people always going at the routers, when all other devices are working perfectly with these routers. from a technical point of view this approach is just pure nonsense.
i talked yesterday with a samsung partner repair shop and the guy admitted that allthough the GN on the paper is just perfect, in reality it is just too poorly conceived and will bring harm to a lot of people. google and samsung are acting out of big pressure and hammering products out of their labs without the necessary time and quality testing.
and we, the consumers, are going to be their employees in disguise. but instead of getting paid, we pay ourselves with our money AND our time.
so. that just had to be said.1I too am having wifi issues, it's just not stable and keeps spiking
I can't even watch youtube as it is now, takes a minute for a vid to load and once it starts it only buffers to like 25% then stops there for over a minute. I've tried loading the same clip from both my galaxy s2 and samsung tab 10.1, from the same WiFi ofc, and they both load it instantly without a single hickup.
Using static IPs for all three devices and i've tried swopping these around aswell, still its only the GN giving me trouble.
I've been running speed tests on the GN and the S2 and while the S2 provides a very stable graph, the GNs looks like a freaking mountain pass. It's maxed out one sec to then jump right back down to basically zero.
Not really sure what i should do next, very dissapointed1I don't think we should have to mess with our routers to get the WIFI to work.
As I've said earlier I've had no success with teh wifi In airport or other public areas. Its one thing for me to change my WIFi setting on my personal router. It is a completely different thing for me to have problems on public connections. What am I supposed to do? Go to the customer service and ask them if they can reset their router or change their wireless settings?
So even If I am able to get my phone to acheive a stable connection in my home (which I am not) that doesn't even matter If I cant use it when I am out of the house. Which is what MOBILE phone is for.
