Nexus One 3G Problems: Are You Having Them?

[ecb]

My issues are not as bad as some others. I get very poor 3G speeds at home (a solid 3G area) but I have 3 - 4 bars and never fall into EDGE.

At work I am stuck in EDGE, though my office is in a 3G area. I had thought it might be because I was inside, but I checked again outside and I was still in EDGE.

As I got closer to home, I did go back to 3G so I have a feeling this will be resolved with a software fix that will tweak the cellular radio.

Lauch Date Nexus...Zero 3G issues whatsoever. Iv had nonstop 3G since day one. I live in Louisville

More of an annoyance for me; im in the Philly area (Conshohocken, PA) and it's a toss up between if im on 3g or Edge at any given time; i never see it switch over; but if im looking at it at 8am; i may come back at 12pm and it'll be on edge while it was on 3g all morning in the same spot.

Hasn't affected my use; Pandora still plays HQ streams without interruption; but i haven't needed to talk and web yet while on edge.

No problems in San Diego (east). My N1 gets the exact same reception as my G1 always has.

Hi there, I just got my N1 this morning after passing from iphone 2G,3G&3GS to Samsung Galaxy before going Crazy for this baby
I was having weak 3G signals with those 3 devices where I leave, but nothing with my N1,
I can surf internet, stream music and watch youtube video without issues.

No problems for me on Vodafone in the UK.

Same sim from my Hero

I just got mines a couple of days ago. I havent had any real issues. It usually stays at 3g whenever I get a good signal. btw I'm in Philly.

Yes. Had the phone about a week, now..although, and I don't know why, the 3G has been much more stable in the past few days than when I first had it.

ETA:

I've been both on the Google support forums and T-Mobile as well letting them know my troubles...

Hi, I must be one of the few users that has the Nexus One in the Netherlands. Currently using T-Mobile as my operator, I have not experienced issues with using 3G whatsoever.

 

[raremage]

RMA'd mine last week pending the VZW version, but I definitely had these issues, so voted yes.

 

[Rusty]

Nope, UK Voda seems fine

sofla here.

my 3g goes in and out. like most cell phone operations it works better in some areas. and it is the best outside.

i am quoting myself, and to be honest i do not remember saying this. somehow it was edited and i did not change this. i know what i wrote and i even have an email confirming that this is not what i wrote.

how in the world did someone change my post!

my 3g does not work at all unless i set it to the "only setting"
if i go back to the prefered the "3g" notification will be on untill i try to use data. then it goes right back to edge.

but the big question is....who changed my posting?

 

[chaz_uk]

I'm on Orange UK and seem to have the same level of signal compared to my old HTC Hero.

No problems at all.

Google: Nexus One 3G issues result of poor coverage, bugs; patch possibly within a week -- Engadget

So does the update really work Ry Guy?

i call shenanigans on this article at engadget. google is trying to blame it partially on poor coverage? please read my above post.

3g works great in my area. all other tmob phones my friends have always have it. when i set my phone for the 3g only it works great. so in other words the coverage is there and working fine...but obviously the phone is not.

T-Mobile
Downtown San Francisco

No real problems

 

[turbosol16]

Mine works fine too and I travel in and out of 3g a few times a day.

you must live in one of those mythical upgraded areas.

Not me= I'm not having any of the problems everyone is talking about.

T-Mobile HSPA 7.2 is fantastic here in NYC.

you must live in one of those mythical upgraded areas.

I live in Wichita and used Speedtest and the same server. I got 575 down and 422 up. This is in my house. I have run the test outside away from the house and got "0 Down" at times.

Again, I wonder if the OTA update will be for the radio as a whole for those who live in poor 2g areas - 3 bars of signal to nothing when the phone is picked up.

Yes, we know that the radio is in the base of the phone so that no one gets a fried head, but no other phone I've ever used has suffered this badly. This I see as a design fault and the radio is not fit for purpose, unless the purpose is to force the user to hold the phone unnaturally to get a signal...

What say you Ry Guy?
