just got this new nexus a couple of days ago. i have not done anything but download a couple apps ebay and fidelity.

it is randomly disconnected from the network both voic and data.
when its idly if i turn it off and back on it will cycle back to connected.

if im in a call and it drops it will cycle right back to connected.

when its connected its 4 bars blue 4G.

any help is appreciated this is my third attempt at a dam working phone.
i had verizon blackberry bold from my company that worked flawless everywhere i traveled for 3 years. after they canned me and took the phone i cant get a working replacement on the android system.
first i got the prevail with boost - didnt work good.
then i got the SG SII epic 4g (love that phone even better than this nexus)
but didnt work. rumor arround town is sprint has a tower problem and wont be fixed until july. lots of people in my town of oswego, il 60543 upset and leaving sprint.

so i went to what i knew worked verizon, got the best phone they have nexus which my brother also reccomended and his is working fine.

i cant change phones or numbers a third time, so please help me figure this out. thanks guys.
 
Have you tried an OTA update? I know they must've released one, the Nexus was having reception problems at launch, but by now you would think it would've been fixed, seeing as it wasn't a problem with the physical antenna. Anyways, your problem could also be the network. Verizon uses eHRPD to authenticate it's 4G phones and devices, it's relatively new and still has some bugs. According to your original post, you have 4G coverage in your area. If you didn't I would advise disabling eHRPD. My Stratosphere disconnects from the network all the time when I've got eHRPD enabled, no matter what type of coverage area I'm in. If speed doesn't matter to you, you could probably just disable it and not worry at all. You'll even save some battery life.
 
there hasn't been an OTA update since the launch. Everyone for the most part is still struggling with krap radio signal...me included.
