[Q] Signal Lost with Screen Sleep

------------UPDATE--------------
Confirmed that I had no issues after flashing back to 4.0.2 stock. Went back to stock 4.0.4 and the problem surfaced again. Tried B29 of AOKP and utilized a minimum CPU setting of 700 MHz which resulted in no issues with the phone signal after going to sleep. I was able to duplicate the problem when I set the CPU to a minimum of 350 MHz. Went back to 700 MHz minimum and everything is working fine.

I'm wondering if the stock 4.0.4, in an effort to squeeze more battery life, lets the processor speed dip down below the threshold require to keep the phone "listening".


-------------------------------------
I've had the same issue after upgrading my phone to 4.0.4. It started life as a 4.0.2 GSM GNex with the Samsung ICS build on it. I flashed the Google version, then manually updated to 4.0.4. I've been searching the forums and found quite a few people with the same problem, but no real solution yet. I'm going to try a few things before taking a swag at a new radio.

I have a GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Vodafone, and within about 2 minutes of the screen sleeping, it loses connection to the network. When awakened, it will re-establish the connection within 5 seconds or so, but it is intensely irritating as I have missed lots of phone calls with this bug.

It has occurred on both my 4.0.2 patched to 4.0.4 and a clean install of 4.0.4 from google's website

I am about to revert back to 4.0.2, but if anyone can fix it in the meantime I would be eternally grateful.

-------------------------------- UPDATE ---------------------------------------------
I concur with warhummer. After rooting my Nexus again after the 4.0.4 update, and installing CPU Tuner from the Market place, I increased the minimum CPU speed to 700mhz (up from 350mhz) and it appears to be keeping its signal now. This would also tally with the fact that while my Nexus was doing things in the background it would maintain signal, but as soon as it was idle, within a few minutes the signal would die.

I've confirmed a fix (for myself anyways) that if you can get a CPU app that can modify the processor speed, try that via the stock 4.0.4. I'm going to flash mine now.

I have the exact same problem. I was on a Rom stock 4.0.2 with root, and after flashing the OTA, I had the problem when the screen is off.

To be sure I flashed the factory image in 4.0.4 but I still had the problem.

I looked at logcat and I had this error that seems to be the problem:

I'm going to send my phone to repair and hope they change it, or if someone has a solution.

Right now I flashed the 4.0.2 factory image to be able to use my phone.

PS : maybe someone know how to contact a Google dev ? To report the problem to them ?

How to sort out the problem of losing signal when GNexus goes into Standby:

1. Install 4.0.4 Stock ROM

Either use the OTA patch or do a clean 4.0.4 install from the Google Stock ROMs page.

2. Root your GNexus
There's lots of info about rooting you GNexus. I used CWM to root mine.

3. Install SetCPU

4. Run SetCPU, and raise the minimum CPU speed from 350mhz to 700mhz. Then tick "Set on Boot". (see attachment)

This should now mean your phone functions perfectly well again, and you benefit from the other good stuff in 4.0.4.

Thank you for the solution, but I don't want to achieve it that way for me there is a real problem with probably a hardware piece or something.

I contacted Jean-Baptiste Queru on Twitter, and he said that he will see who can talk to for this.

In the meantime, my Galaxy Nexus is going for repair in the hope I will have a brand new one

i'm having this problem too. but would it be a hardware problem? i don't remember this happening in 4.0.3. you might just be returning it for another phone with the same problem if you update to 4.0.4

It might be a harware problem caused by a some code that was not in Android 4.0.2

I tried CyanogenMod 9 which is on Android 4.0.4 (same bootloader and radio as stock 4.0.4) but AOSP and I had the same issue.

It's really stranged because there are not a lot of people that have this issue.

Let's hope we will have news from Google soon

I stopped having this problem in 4.0.2 and 4.03, when I updated to 4.0.4.

then that's called a software problem lol
