Further details on the upcoming OTA fix - Nexus S General

Hi All,
I don't know if any of you have had the occasional issue with the home/back button doing phantom long presses but if you have a fix is on its way and will be included in the OTA due shortly to resolve the reboot issues. I posted the following question on the Google support forums and this is what the Google rep had to say:
Thanks Ry Guy,
Is the fix likely to be included in the upcoming OTA fix for reboots? or will it be after that?
Thanks!!

Hi RobMac74,
The fix will be included in the upcoming OTA, so this shouldn't be a problem much longer
Cheers,
Ry Guy

so it looks like we have a fix coming for two important issues, from my perspective this is pretty impressive support from Google....what do you guys think?

Really nice support from Google. Pushing out OTA:s that quickly is impressive.

Apparently they are fixing a security issue with the "SD card" space being accessible. Not sure on the details as I quickly read over it the other day. Google should be able to tell all though if you search for it.

I wish they would include a fix for the poor wifi reception

I just wish they included a change log with these things. It would be nice to know what to expect, or what to look for.

For the bad calibration of the white color she will be corrected OTA? (yellow tint)

I want this badly !!!

Is the reception really poor for you or is it just that the signal strength indicator for WiFi appears to be lower? I, too, noticed this when I first got my Nexus S compared to my Nexus One, however the WiFi does work up to the same distance away from my router on both phones. Maybe they just need to tweak the way the signal indicator is displayed?

In my case, it often disconnect suddenly ... and immediately reconnect.
Very often ...
While I don't have that issue with my HTC Desire.
Nothing has changed in the network.

It works OK just with minimum signal but downstairs in my kitchen I have no signal at all whereas my ipad and palm have nearly full signal. If I move closer to the router to a position where minimum signal returns, it then drops in and out...very frustrating.

Same here frequent disconnects & reconnects aswell as weak signal (probably why it keeps disconnecting). I'm on my 4th NS & they were all the same. Wifes Galaxy S has no such problems, my son Moto Defy has no problems & an IPhone 4 I have also has zero problems.

Is there already a report about this problem on the Nexus S official support forum?

I just manually did mines it feels pretty good to be on
2.3.4 but I haven't really notice to much of a difference

I updated manually. found a little colour change from 2.3.3 which was good. Gtalk is pretty goood, no lag at all.

I'm just glad that there is no more reboots. I do dislike the fact that Google did not address the laggy browser issue though.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Browser is still laggy, the colour has changed indefinitely( I cannot tell if it's for the better or worse, really hard to tell without a side by side comparison, someone with two Nexus S devices should do a comparison and post on here), GPS locks within 2-5 seconds much faster now, G Chat video is lag free however I have not tested on 3g with another Nexus S device, still no Facebook sync support, and no Chrome syncing. Overall I believe Google was smart to make this a small update, besides the fact that they launched Mobile G Video chat, that would have been smart tl put on the next version of Android, but they treated it as such a minor thing. Still the update just fixed bugs and added G Video, next update BETTER fix the keyboard though.

You probably still get "H" but it's just showing the "3G" symbol. I had a Desire too before and my new Nexus S behaves just like yours, based on speeds I'm pretty sure to be on HSDPA though...
Thanks pullermann. Looking at the speeds, I agree that they look more like "H" than "3G". Was just a bit concerned..

The connection icon will say "3G" when you are connected to UMTS or HSPA. It will never say "H" unless you happen to be running custom firmware that has added that in.
EDIT: You can check network type by going to Menu > Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network type. It will say either EDGE (2G), UMTS (3G), or HSDPA (also 3G).

Thats right, i'm running rooted stock have tried CM7 and with it i have a H showing, but not with stock image, there is only 3G but speed is H.

New Evo GPS Drivers

Has anyone tried using the new EVO GPS Drivers? I'm curious is this will help us out at all. Its supposed to work with all AOSP roms I'm pretty sure. I just flshed it and will try it out later.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14534313&postcount=2478
I think the better question is does the EVO and the Shift have the same GPS chip. Remember for the most part they're different phones.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I actually flashed them on to my shift without knowing and they worked great. Got 9/9 satellites in GPS status in less than 30 seconds, but now my GPS is acting wonky, really hard to get a lock and lucky if I get 1 satellite. It would be really nice if we could get a developer to port those drivers to speedy.
what tells you that that driver is better than the one the shift already have?
evo and the shift are the same in name only.

But it appears that your gps is acting up now right? So maybe the phone the drivers are made for gets improved GPS not so much every phone because like ronoverdrive said the only thing the evo and shift have in common is name, internals are totally different

I've never had issues with my GPS.
IT would be nice if there would be an update for the shift GPS drivers, mine always shows me like a block away from my actual location its frustrating as hell. Its the only drawback I have had switching from a Transform to the Shift.

Our GPS like many Android phones are not pure GPS units and are actually Assisted GPS (AGPS). Rough location is first acquired from the network tower's or WiFi address's geo-location while the GPS attempts to get a satellite lock for a more refined location lock. This network dependence is why you can almost always get a fast lock on your phone and not on dedicated GPS units.
Well i had not openen maps or anything since my last flash and with no network on and no wifi on my gps still found me within 3 meters

Ok so I have to ask. Why do you say "turn off the setting for use WiFi Networks" ? I'm not saying your wrong I just want to here your logic. Because, any time Google Maps or Navigation has any issues locking on a location. The recommended thing to do is Turn On WiFi . Here's some interesting reading for you:

Because it turns off the Network Assist and forces your phone to get a true GPS lock instead of just timing out. Network Assist is needed for when you can't get a location lock or to speed up the process. As far as Google Maps is concerned a rough location is better then no location when a narrow location GPS lock is taking a long time to acquire.

Very true, and I'd like to keep wifi assist off if possible but it seems that it just doesn't work that way. I think that might have been the problem I was experiencing was due to having wifi off.

The thing is I was able to get a GPS lock indoors in my house with 9/9 satellites. Don't remember if Wifi assist was on or off. But I'm trying it in the office right now with wifi assist on and can't get 1 satellite with wifi assist on.

Having the exact same problem. So annoying!
i have the same problem... nmy apps report an internet conncection but doesnt download everything.
this seems like a packet loss problem to me but I'm not 100%
i can have full bars on both 3g or hspa or be on wifi and same problem
can anyone check to see if there is some sort of packet handling issue
Same issue here. What's worse is that the phone indicates everything is fine, until you actually try to retrieve some data.
I've found that cycling Airplane mode for about 30sec usually fixes this. I just added the Airplane Mode widget for now. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.
anyone have battery issues as well
i have also noticed another big issue....the batter stats is never correct....so lets say you have 15 percent battery left....reboot your phone and upon unlocking your phone your phone says that you have 50% battery left. or you use the internet or call for a bit and after 30 minutes your phone still says it has 100% battery left
pettion for upgrade to the new atrix 4g coming out soon. it is said to be a rumor that there is a new atrix coming but i spoke to a support rep at att and they said that there will be a new atrix coming soon that was an hour ago

Do you have the newest Market version on your phone? I was having that exact same problem. I CWM'd the older version of the Market and poof, no more problems. Might be a place to start.
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188740
If you have the latest Android Market installed, it seems that it's affecting connectivity. Some have reverted to the older Market and confirmed that the issues went away.
I am still on baseband .15 and the new market works fine.
I guess I'll wait for confirmation before I update my baseband to .30... It's really too bad because I am having random data drops with .15.
the new baseband improved my connection

I really dislike how the Nexus 4 can't do simple things well

Such as staying connected to my WiFi, or my cellular data connection, or being able to reliably turn Bluetooth on and off. Seriously, these are the things that should just work. On every other phone I've ever owned I've never had a problem with any of these things, let alone all three.
Overall I like the N4 and the positives outweigh the negatives and I plan to keep it for quite a while. But I sure hope these basic things will be corrected in an update soon.
I can help you with that. There is a app that will make you life very easy, it's called "power toggles"

Can you be more specific on how/when you get these errors? I'm not experiencing any of these problems on my Nexus 4 and I use both WiFi and Bluetooth regularly.
We can help you, but you gotta provide more info.

If so, ROM/kernel?
Also, what errors are you exactly getting? Or you can provide a logcat.
This has been the absolute best and fastest device I've ever owned or played with. Makes me sad when ppl aren't experiencing the same thing I am. So hopefully we can help you.
None of the problems you are having.

I'm having the exact same issues. When attempting to browse the play store I constantly get the " cannot connect to the play store" and I have to hot retry several times before I can continue. This happens every 10 minutes or so and it's driving me crazy. Also when skiing any type of downloading on my Wi-Fi I get awful speeds. I'm talking an hour to download a podcast but it only taking my iPhone 5 approx 10 minutes to download the same podcast. Something is definitely wrong however I bought this phone from someone else so I can't RMA it so think I'm screwed.

You might want to try a different channel or something with your router if you are seeing disconnections a lot. Also is this happening on multiple wifi connections or just on your home one? With Bluetooth I don't really use it so cannot comment on it.

For here the WiFi signal until it looks good on the phone, but no data transfer occurs. From what I've been reading this is happening to many people. I think google should be manifested.
If hardware problem until I change the router, but at least tell me what works. They are anxious to get the phone's SD reader to avoid confusion and leave this problem in WiFi. Just missing they release the next nexus without WiFi to avoid this kind of problem.

it could be a weak modem, but i'm keeping my hopes that it is software related
I noticed this only happens with certain roms even when I had my HTC One, it's one of the reasons I stay with CM more often than not is I never get drops with it
It happens in certain areas more than others, in some cities I get an incredible signal and can download to my satisfaction, in others I can't get more than 5mb downloaded before it slows and drops and I have to restart the download. Download managers with resume capability are a help.
