Not yet ready for Prime Time? Verizon Wireless confirms the signal problem of its new Android 4.0 smartphone.
US wireless carrier Verizon has tweeted on Monday regarding the alleged signal issue that is reportedly plaguing some Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners, according to multiple reports posted online.
Verizon reportedly confirmed that the first 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is suffering from signal strength problem, but they assured the customers that a software update will roll out soon to fix the issue. No word yet about the roll out date of the so-called signal strength software update.
Is there really a problem? One trusted website said — none.
According to AnandTech, there’s a misconception. The tech site said the signal bars displayed on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the actual LTE signal strength, while other devices like the Droid Bionic or the Samsung Droid Charge are displaying 1x/EVDO.
The site also added that LTE with 700 MHz spectrum vs 1x/EVDO’s 800 MHz and 1900 MHz signal strength comparison is like comparing Apples from Oranges.
The website also describes the issue as “an issue that never really existed to begin with.”
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the first Long Term Evolution Nexus phone in the country, and also the first Nexus device of Verizon Wireless. The new Samsung smartphone is arguably the most popular LTE phone this month and reviews say the device will continue to dominate the Android market next year largely because Android customers now want the latest and greatest operating system version available.
