Signal is a bit weird on this phone, it loses it far to easily but most of the time if i restart the phone its back to full signal.

Not one problem with signal here.
I have signal issues, but they're most likely related to my network provider (3).
For everyone reporting signal issues here it is most probably this bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40514
It's starting to get on my **** I'm literally toggling airplane mode 5 times a day.

No I get a slightly better signal with the N4 compared to my previous DesireHD. That's on Virgin (who use the orange/tmoblie/ee network)
I'm on the stock kernel (not rooted either), will I have to wipe everything if changed over to franco's ?.

You shouldn't have to wipe if you change a kernel, only if you change a rom. But you do need to be rooted to change kernel. Still, make sure you backup your stock rom before flashing your kernel.
You don't need to root but you need to unlock the boot loader.
The problem is all your data will be wiped when you unlock. Which is one of the reasons why its the first thing I do when I get a new Android phone.

remember to root, you need to unlock the fastboot, which causes the internal storage to be wiped.

I appear to be unable to send sms messages since midnight. Phone, ROM or carrier (giffgaff) problem? Anyone suffering the same?
Edit: It's giffgaff

The network will be getting absolutely hammered at the moment.

Thanks. Bit surprised the networks can't cope, dead on 12 I could understand but it's been down for nearly 30 minutes

anyone else having an issue with the phone not picking up a 3G connection when moving away from a wifi one?
the signal indicator will go grey and just stay like that.
this is usually the case if the phone was on wifi for approx. 10hrs and was in a deep sleep.

Yep, flashing a new kernel wouldn't make a bit of difference to your signal.
