Nexus One 3G Fix Rumor

By on January 20, 2010 in Nexus One

Word is spreading quickly, and not much verification has been provided, so file this one under “Rumor” for now.  However, it appears a user was able to go from no 3G connectivity for 10 days to permanent 3G signal even after some reboots.  The fix from Kevin of JKontherun involves allowing the Nexus One to automatically select it’s network.  Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.  To do this, go into “Settings”, “Wireless and Networks”, choose “Mobile Networks” and go into “Network Operators” section and allow the phone to look for a network.  I’d try this myself, but alas, I’m without a Nexus One.

If you have a Nexus One and were having 3G issues, did you try this and is it working for you?

    HARDWARE, HARDWARE, HARDWARE!!! – if the 3G issues was a firmware issue then ALL the N11 phones would have all the same problem. I don’t trust these guys… I would not put it past them to put patches in the firmware that it would mask the hardware problem just to avoid having to replace defective phones.
    They claim that there are only “A FEW” phone having this problem. If this were the case then why don’t they just replace the FEW phones, test the replacements and then everyone will be happy.
    Google only responds with PHONE SPECS and doesn’t address the problem as you state in your support e-mail, now they are referring you to T-Mobile and HTC just elevates your call to a specialist who promises to call back but never does.

    RUN FOREST RUN!!! Too many firsts here and nothing is going right. Google has no intention in becoming a SUPPORT FRIENDLY company, they can’t even honor their first direct sale to the public.

    We need to stand up to these giants who think that they are above accountability!
