Dropped calls on Galaxy Nexus

[bruski]

This seems to be a common problem. In fact, it's been posted on all the android forums, and posted here elsewhere.  Both my wife and I have had it happen on our phones. Its always during a 15+ minute call Its annoying, and I hope a fix is coming soon. Some people have had luck after they change out the Sim card. Bad batch?

The only call I've dropped was in my office, everyone there on the first floor with Verizon gets a bad signal.

I talked to my brother the other day for over an hour.

Not everyone has the dropped call/data issue.

I could understand this if it was actually a call being dropped, but my signal stays strong and I can hear the other person perfectly. They can't hear me - just very brief sound bites every second or so. The only fix is to hang up and re-dial and hope it doesn't happen again. Like all of these phones, the problem isn't with everyone's unit. We just are the unlucky ones. We both bought from the same dealer within 2 weeks of each other, so I'm starting to think maybe the Sim card might very well be the problem.

I am also experiencing the issue of one-way audio.  All of a sudden, the other party can no longer hear me.  The call does not drop, but I have to end and redial for the person to hear me again.

I am on my second Nexus and SIM card with the same results.  Thus far, I have not been able to get anyone with support to acknowledge that there is an issue.  This is very frustrating!

I have until 1/15/12 to return the unit.  If anyone has received confirmation from Verizon that there is a known bug, please post any information as to who you spoke with at Verizon.

Exact same issue here, and I'm also on my second GNex and results are the same. Friday is my last exchange day and I'm seriously thinking about bailing to the Rezound. I travel 100k miles a year so connectivity and calls just have to work.

The next time you drop a call check your battery log. It shows how long you were connected to the network.

It is not really a "dropped  call".  It is a one-way audio issue that forces you to end the call and redial the other party.

Switched to a Bionic... Oh well.. the Nexus is great at everything except being a phone!

I can vouch for the one way audio issue not being specific to the Nexus. I had a Droid Charge before this phone and would have the same problem, I would talk for so long and then I could hear the other party but they could not hear me. So far I have concluded that it is either A) a Verizon problem, not a device problem, or B) a Samsung radio problem, because both the Droid Charge and the Galaxy Nexus are Samsung phones, and I have had issues with one-way audio with both these. Any thoughts?

I have not with both versions(GSM, and LTE).  All I get are blips of 20-30 seconds of connection loss to any services which shows up on both versions. I have talked on both phones during conference calls for 3-4 hours before and never had the problem.
