Have the Nexus S 4G reception issues on Sprint been worked out yet? I'm thinking of buying this phone but paused when I read that there have been issues.
nope
the issue has not been resolved as of yet

OK, sprint or Google really needs to come out with a fix for this problem. The nexus s only has full bars in certain areas but once you travel out these "spheres", reception drops tenfold. Wtf sprint and Google?
This is pretty inexcusable. Sometimes it gets so bad that service drops altogether aand the only way to get back service is to reboot the phone. I should NOT have to be doing this. Anyone experiencing the same issues?

Picked up new GS3 a week ago. Friends and family I spoke to complained of distorted, underwater, and/or garbled sound when I talked. I assumed that I got a defective microphone so I exchanged it.
I immediately called several people on the newly exchanged GS3 and all of them reported the same issues in sound reception as the previous one.
I have tried adjusting with the noise reduction-to no success. I also tried using the speaker phone and still the same problem persists. I tried using the ear piece the phone came with with no changes.
Has anyone come across the same issue? If so, what is the fix? I love the phone overall but being that I use my cell for business calls through out the day this issue will drive me and my contacts crazy!
Perhaps an app that can help boost of fix the problem? I do not want to root my phone due to bricking and insurance issues with my HTC EVO.
Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated...
Where are you located? This is most likely not a problem with your phone, but more likely the network in your area. If you are in an area that is currently in the process of being upgraded (i.e. Chicago) there have been quite a few problems with the upgrade. I am in the Chicago suburbs and had the exact same issues with call quality on my Epic 4g for over a month while Sprint was upgrading the towers in my area.

I am in the San Francisco, California area. When the I activated the second phone it did an auto update. I know the LTE service is not up and running yet in our area.
Just wondering if anyone else was having issues with your Signal using the 6P on Verizon? Ever since I got it I've been lucky to get one bar on LTE! I switched it from global to the CDMA setting but that hasn't helped that I can notice, thanks!
I recently switched from Sprint to Verizon and I have had multiple issues with my 6P. First of all, voice quality is pretty bad, very low & crackling. Also, when I run a speed test on my phone I will get about 11mb on my device but my wife's s7 will get 21. I live in Arizona near Phoenix, is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Turn off the 4G LTE mode under cellular networks in settings. Should fix that issue if it's similar to the issue I was having. Can't comment on the speed issue. No issues here with that.

Don't have much in the way of a fix, but I've got no issues on vzw in East Mesa.

Turning off LTE as Tu3218 suggested does seem to be the fix for those Verizon customers that have that issue. Just wanted to note that not all of see that issue, though. I have LTE on and voice quality is fine where I live. Some suspect it's a phone issue. If you have Nexus Protect on your phone, you might try to contact Google support about it.
I find my signal strength is not as good as our Samsung phones. My old S5 and my wife's Note are both better at picking up a weak signal and they get better speed test results, although not nearly as big a difference as you're seeing.
I'm on Verizon with my 6P. Recently switched from ATT. Central Florida
Voice quality is great for me. Specially with other Verizon customers (HD Voice / AMR Wideband). Speeds on band 4 LTE are normally >40Mb/s down, >20Mb/s UP. Band 13 is normally ~20Mb/s Down, ~10Mb/s Up.
Have run multiple roms. All seemed fine. Including current rom (Android N Dev Preview)
Thanks for everyone's responses, I have attempted turning off the LTE mode with no luck. Also, if I'm talking to someone with Verizon, voice quality is great especially with HD voice. Unfortunately for me, the majority of my calls are to Sprint customer and that's where I have a bad experience. I will contact Google support and see what they say.

Just spoke with Google support and they will believe it's a hardware issue and will replace my device under warranty.

So for those that haven't heard that is having issues or if you're lucky enough not to. There has been a big issue affecting only the Nexus 6P maybe the 5x unsure there though. If your having issues with your LTE all of a sudden, it's probably not from being a flashaholic. They're saying Google should have a fix Monday August 8th. That's T-Mobile & Verizon, for sure. I've heard all carriers. Apparently it's a GPS Issue. They telling carriers to have us turn off out GPS, & restart our phones while the carrier resets our location. This is helping some.
Are you sure you dont meant the Nexus 6?

I have LTE issues on my 6P. Certain spots will drop to 3G and not return until I switch to 2G then back to LTE.
