The radio fix - Nexus S General

Has there been any indication as to when Google is fixing the radio issues on this bad boy? (Its been a while, and the Nexus is supposed to get updates asap, correct?)
My battery life is killing me - I have the Sprint version.

Eww you call your phone "bad boy"? I call mine Beverly, but she's a dirty girl I can tell she gets around due to all the finger prints.
You ever try to spank a phone? Its harder than it sounds but oh so worth it.

Thanks - hopefully soon then

There's supposedly a patch coming out soon to remedy this radio issue. I believe it'll make our phone into version 2.4.

Maybe there is a 2.4 update that will coincide with the radio fix patch?

I have got my Nexus inactive now, waiting for the update. Can't use it when battery is down to 60 percent by 10 am. (I am back to my Evolution for now)
Has anulyone found undervolting to he worthwhile?

But that is for GSM phones last I checked

Thanks - these seem not to be for the Sprint phone though.

Also gouthamsn, in what ways is it working great? Thanks.

The problem with the 2.1 ROMs we have now is, even though they are spectacular, they're not 100 percent. There are some things that are broke.

Some people just don't get that even thought most of us are running a 2.1 rom - there are still issues.
My wife still has Audio issues with hers.
Not to mention we don't have legit .29 Kernel source...I have a feeling Toast may have something or just a really bastardized .27 kernel source.
Everyweek we got new news about update. And the update date is always on Friday.

All of the "reliable" sources and posts are coming from people with low post counts as well as info from Sprint Reps. When have Sprint Reps through the online chat, phone, or store ever really been accurate on phone updates?

How did you you find out maps 4.4 was killing your battery?
No delay here.
I didn't get a notification, but when I initiated the system software update its comes up. I am thinking that i am going to wait to see if it gets rooted then go for it.
guess that little rumor was wrong haha

Typically there are no significant differences between leaked updates and the final.
I still haven't updated to DL09, I think I'm going to sit tight until Froyo or GB.

I think if it were significantly better, they would tout that improvement in the release notes. I've not run the leaked version though so I can't provide you with a definitive answer.
Well, must be a batched release. Here in AZ I still get 'no new updates avail' when I try to OTA update.
Probably later tonight or tomorrow I guess.
Anyone able to DL it yet?
not updating till froyou is available
VZW typically does a gradual roll out, so certain groups of numbers get it first, then the next set, etc. If they just blasted it out, their OTA servers would get killed.

so technically the OP isn't right yet, it was not OTA just yet unless some actually gets it OTA.

Updates, updates, updates. At this rate birdman's Gingerbread will be out before Froyo.
Well there are some improvements over DI01. We've been away from that release for a while, thanks to these great devs, so it's easy to forget. I figured there would be no improvements seeing as to how they need to test and DL09 came out so recently, but better safe than sorry. Hopefully someone more skilled than I will take an interest in poking around.
Me too, I'm sticking with dj05 until a major release if ever.

Perfect, I may soft brick and get a replacement because my screen has a dead pixel, and instead of gray, grays are RED. The whole screen has horrible yellow and red tinges, unless you're at 100% brightness, and it still has issues.

You can send it to Sammy for repair/replacement without having to soft brick. That issue falls under their warranty. I sent mine in last week for a similar issue. I'll get it back Wednesday (which is pretty good considering Samsung's otherwise ****ty service).

They do. The blog article is probably wrong. Though Sprint may work with Samsung on radio firmware.

That was my thought about the rumor. It didn't make sense considering an update to 2.3.4 would come from Google. But, it seems that the signal issues are directly related to the 4G radio or its accompanying firmware.
My guess is that Google would need to work with Sprint and possibly Samsung to address the issue.
The whole reason I purchased the Nexus S was the updates for the OS would come from GOOGLE not Sprint. They did mention in the article that radio sucked and was testing it. I am not sure if 2.4 would drop our way or not. I am coming from an EPIC. The updates were far and few. They were real buggy also. Great phone but the last 2 months developers for the EPIC dropped like flies.
The article clearly is misinformed. The update will only effect the radio on Sprint's side and Google would send their part as 2.4. Now, unless their tipster is completely off, this would be the only "collaboration" Sprint and Google would have. And Samsung... I'm not sure what they are supposed to do. They made the device. What else can they do?

I doubt a bug fix for a single device would merit a full .1 version increase. But who knows, maybe they don't want the phone OS to skip a letter before Ice Cream Sandwich. 2.3= Gingerbread. 2.4= Haha, Jk.

Sounds like they are working on a driver fix to push out with 2.4 os only thing is that 2.4 won't be out until late august at best. They'd going to be googles biggest os push to so many devices. The nexus and some dual cores will see out first then the test of the dual cores maybe some high end single cores will see it up to the manufacture if they put it out our not.
