Lost Signal Event?

I have been getting A LOT more Lost Signal Events on my Nexus. So many that I installed No Signal Alert on my phone to track them. It's been happening like 3 - 5 times an hour. So far I've noticed it's only when I'm on 4G, and most common when I am at home (even though I have full signal strength when I do have signal).

Like I said, it was getting pretty common, dropping out on phone calls and what-not. So I reflashed to AOKP 33 and updated kernels to franco's Milestone 3 thinking this might fix the problem.

But, alas, it did not. Still have the same problems. Happening WAY too often. Is this a hardware issue? Think I can swap it out with Verizon? I've read around and people seem to still have the problem even after swapping out. I mean, it's a PHONE first and foremost. So if I can't use it as a phone, what's the point? I REEEEAALY don't want to trade a completely different device, but it looks like I might have to. I mean, the Nexus was supposed to be first in lines for updates, right? It looks like Verizon is crippling that and now the network issues? What's the point?

I have the same issues. I read that turning off 4g and using 3g fixes the issue.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Verizon to fix it. This phone's been out for months and they haven't done anything to address it.

I thought about turning off 4G but am honestly not sure how to to that without disabling all data. Plus it sort of defeats the purpose.

What do I do, just select CDMA as the network of choice rather than 4G/CDMA?
