GPS is more responsive. I'm hoping it fixes my call problems (I get soundwave voices when the call doesn't connect properly). Overall not too bad

It feels a little faster I'm on T-Mobile forget waiting for a over the air update just
do it manually its so easy its so easy feels good to have a phone that gets updates
Quicker then others

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

You can finally delete your Tags now, btw.

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.

Video Apps broke
Ustream's GoLive just force close now. I think Tango and Fring also quit working. Still, the WiFi improvement and GTalk update made this worth while for me!

Oh no, I am gonna test Tango because I like it more than GTalk to do video calling to Android and iOS.

i have noticed 3 main differences.
improved the reception during calls
improved earpiece, the sound is louder and clearer
and a bug fix, some ppl who uses the european f/w have noticed the wording when you connect the usb as a mass storage, previously it always says usb connected on/off (forgot which one), whether it's enabled or not, now the wording is corrected.

I am unable to get facebook account synchronization to work.

I never seem to get H, but only 3G. I've just got this phone, looked up this forum, and upgraded to 2.3.4. On my previous phone (Desire), i used to get H at home, but only 3G now. Is this a common problem or just coz of 2.3.4?

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.

Further details on the upcoming OTA fix

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

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.

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.

Netflix added atrix!

Just read on phandroid and decided to download it on my rooted atrix and it played but with a green line. This was from the market. Any1 else with the same issue?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
you should read the other 100 threads before asking this again, its a known issue its not optimized for the atrix on 2.2 unlock your bootloader and flash 2.3.4 if it will work fine then
Concur with last post. Netflix works great on HKTW 2.3.4! Just make sure you still have streaming on your account after the new price change.
Nice! I have been using it since I UL'd and using 2.3.4. Works great. I still just checked it on the Market and downloaded it so I can get the updates and such.
I tried it and still had the green line and ghosting as well. I am on 1.83. I did some reading and it had looked like it was still the old 1.2 version in the market. My thought is it should work with 1.83 as I'm guessing they haven't gotten the GB update yet to test the Atrix with. Or did they just assume and not test?
On a side note, after uninstalling Neflix my corporate exchange email couldn't connect to the server any longer. Could uninstalling Neflix have caused my issue or was it just a weird coincidence?

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yep, it works now
Yay! It works... but it looks like crap.
At least on my Atrix it looks like crap.
I own a Atrix (AT&T) as well as a Droid X (Verizon) and I have Netflix running (from the Market) on both phones. Side by side the video on the Droid X phone looks nice and sharp without blocky pixelation and it's only a 3G phone. But the same video on my Atrix which is supposed to be 4G takes forever to load a video and then when it finally plays the picture looks terrible with horrible pixelation to the point where I can barely make out what it is I am looking at.
I am running stock FroYo on the Atrix without any tweaks. What is the deal with this phone? Is it the phone or the network? The Atrix shows 3 bars at my house (whereas my Droid X shows 4 bars) so it looks like it's got a good signal to the tower but the network speed is really terrible.
I was so excited to get an Atrix (since I have a tablet that has a Tegra 2 chip in it as well and LOVE it) but after owning this phone for a week I have to say I am beginning to regret getting it.
I haven't tried using at&t data...I just use wick and it is excellent

Can't Wait
Awesome.... just keeps getting better and better!
It's not the phone; it's the network.
I've found out it's the AT&T network. When I posted my rant earlier I found by using the Speedtest.net android app I was only getting around 200kbps (yup, you're reading this right) downstream on my 4G Atrix. When I tried after 7 p.m. local time the speeds improved to between 1.2mbps to 3mbps. So, at the moment, the Netflix app is playing pretty smoothly on my Atrix.
This is my work phone (paid for by work) and I traded in my iPhone 4 for it because it's an android phone (friendly to rooting/customizing) and it's got the two things I've been waiting for in a new android phone (dual-core AND 4G). All in all I'm pretty happy with the phone (wish the screen was bigger) but really unhappy with AT&T's network.
My personal phone is a Droid X on Verizon Wireless which I've had since the midnight launch about a year ago and I've enjoy it rooted and on the Verizon's dependable network - I love this phone. But time moves on and they are about to release the Droid Bionic which is the first dual-core/4G phone on Verizon. I think it drops in a month and I'll be waiting in line to get it.

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

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 was having that issue with the mobile hotspot. It seems that the problem sorted itself out when I rebooted the phone.
Hmm, haven't used my hotspot in ages, and have rebooted a few times today...
Somewhere in the forums i read someone's suggestion that perhaps the number of bars showing could be better calibrated with the signal. That popped out at me because on CM9 I've never had many, if any bars on either 4 or 3g...been on EL30 modem for awhile and get great bars on CleanGB, as well as CM7. That being said, it did SEEM to me as well that connectivity overall on CM9 is more in and out too, especially with 4g. Don't really have any answer here, but I hear ya.

Are you able to use the mobile hotspot on 4g in CM9?! Soon as I turn on the native hotspotc 4g cuts out, same as with CM7. Third party tether app worked for me in CM7 to use 4g, but not in CM9. Really a bummer because thats one of the main reasons I'm not running CM9 daily now. Tethering at 3g is just too slow for me.

Well I know I am not in the best signal area, but I can usually get a connection and hold it for awhile. It seems to go to idle and shortly disconnect afterwords.
pretty sure people were saying that it will SHOW that you are broadcasting 4G wifi tether but you aren't actually and that it is 3G speeds.

At my desk at work I get a decent 4g signal, but next to no 3g signal (3g is effectively unusable) i was able to tether to the 4g and get decent speeds from it.

Seems to be even getting worse, I am lucky if 4g will connect at all...
Actually, it won't connect at all, not even outside... wonder what is wrong...
I'm using the A3 as well & I guess I'm the lucky one because I'm not having all that many connectivity issues with it (yet).
The alpha tag says it all when it comes to anything not working quite right do your part and report it in the bug tracker.
The Epic CM9 guys are on the ball with there **** if they can reproduce it (assuming they don't already know about it) they should be able to fix it.

Good signal strength but Internet not working?

This is perhaps the biggest issue plaguing my phone.
I'm getting intermittent periods of the above mentioned, when my signal strength indictor is good and it's showing that I'm either on 3G or H+, but whatever I'm on doesn't seem to load. Browser, Reddit is Fun, XDA app or even Whatsapp. In the same areas my Galaxy S2 consistently loads data while my Nexus 4 seems to just sit there doing nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what's the cause of this?
PS: I tried looking for some sort of email to contact Google and possibly send it back, but strangely I can't find anything!
Not sure what your issue is but its easy to contact Google.
Go to the play store on a PC ( could do it on a browser from your phone as well ) and go down to the bottom of the page and find my orders and settings. From there all your apps and devices show up. Go the the nexus 4 and help. From there you should find all the ways to contact Google.

Do you have the same issues while on wifi? If you do then I would think it was an issue with the phone, if not then there's something wrong with your service plan apn settings. Are you sure you set your service plan up correctly in the phone's settings?

The phone works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi. As for the APN settings, that has occured to me but as I understand it they are loaded on my SIM card by my provider and I'm pretty sure they are correct.
Looks like I'm gonna have to send it back somehow. I'm hoping it's a software issue that can get fixed relatively easily.

Are you with TMobile? I had a similar issue and I called up TMobile tech support and they reprovisioned/reprogrammed my data and while I've still had some data dropouts, they're not nearly as frequent as before.
Are you sure it's not your APN? I had a similar issue and assumed the APNs would be right from my provider. I looked them up online and entered a new APN. That fixed it for me.

I will check it again, but then if my APN was wrongly configured I think my mobile data won't work 100% of the time right?
I'm having this exact same problem but only in one specific location.
My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.
Any thoughts?

I'm having this exact same problem but only in one specific location.
My signal on Tmo is good everywhere. The bars show medium to full strength and that is backed up by the reported metrics in Phone Info and Settings. However data is next to unusable at my office near Times Square. I only get "bursts" of data and if I try to use the browser, refresh mail, open Twitter, check FB, etc, the connection times out. At home, around Manhattan, and around the country Tmo gives me great HSPA+ speeds. I have checked my APN settings and they are corect.
Any thoughts?

Sounds pretty much like what I was experiencing. I see that the latest few CM10.1 nightlies have several HSPA commits. I'm gonna give the latest nightly a go and see if it helps. Was on CodeFireX BR10.1 during all these.
Edit: Observing the behavior of my signal icon, it seems that it idles at 3G. If I touch a link or initiate any action that loads data, it stays on 3G for a while before switching to H or H+. I'm wondering if the problem lies during this "transition" period.
Edit2: 5 minutes into the 13122012 nightly, I'm noticing that the phone stays on H+ much longer and the transition from 3G to H+ is much faster now. Will monitor and report back!
Just an update: After one day of usage I can safely say the problem is gone. Flashing to the 13122012 nightly of CM10.1 fixed it. I'm not sure what particular commit fixed it though.
Anyway, the configuration of my phone when the problem occured was CodeFireX BR10.1 and franco r13. I'm currently on CM10.1 13122012 and franco r14.

Same thing here. I have a rma unit coming in a few minutes or so, and I'll test it out. This happens to me around Midtown as well. The data speeds in Manhattan are at a crawl though around peak but that doesn't explain why it stops downloading data when there is full service and a stable data connection.

OK so I have the RMA unit in hand and it looks like its been used before but I can't really tell. The reason is because the screen protectors are off and there's no little part to grab and remove it. And the screen had looked like it had been wiped before.
Other than that, its running 4.2 and the data seems stable for now. Still need to test with something else.

Glad I am not alone. I'm very curious to hear how your new unit works out. Thanks for updating and I'll be waiting for more!

Well that is sure curious. I'll try CM10.1 again over the weekend and pick up franco as well. Please let us know if it resurfaces!
I'm having the same issue on Solavei (Tmobile) in NY im getting horrendous data speeds lik ping around 70ms-800ms Download speeds at .09mbps - .14mbps and even worse upload speeds... Im all stock and called them up they said long island and Manhattan are having network issues and it may not be fixed until the beginning of the new year... Im going to try cyanogen 10.1 and a new kernel. I know my friend who doesnt live so far from me isnt having this issue but then again he never messed with carrier settings apns and system info settings like i did X_X
OK it's not the phone at least, that's what I think. I'm on edge right now because of spotty service, where my HTC sensation used to pull full bars with hspa, I'm having edge and 2 bars here.
I think its something with the stock ROM on here, is everyone that's having the problem running stock?

The problem still isn't happening, or at least it isn't happening enough to make me notice. When it occurred I will be fuming throughput the 45 minutes of my daily commute. Now I'm happily using Whatsapp and Reddit is Fun
