How is the battery life with the new radio and update leak?
I'm actually thinking about flashing back to ke1. This new one and the previous seemed to get worse reception in my area. Ymmv depending on where you live...

Laying on my couch i previously got 2 bars. I see no difference so far in the 2 hours i have had it flashed. I like being updated though since i assume something was changed for the better. I'm running cm7.2.
While my signal has not increased, I will say my 3g speed has almost doubled on a consistent basis.

I thought it was just a coincidence or a setting but I have been using the new radio for 2 days and checking my 3g speeds diligently and I too have had speed gains. Getting the highest download speedtest scores I have on my device in my area.
Upload speed is about 1/2 of what it was (who cares? Not me.)
I hope it sticks and is not just a fluke.

Any battery drain, the ones from that previous leak torn my battery up, for me atleast

I seem to have better reception and faster 3g as well. My battery life also appears to have increased. This radio is way better than the radio in the previous leak. I'm in Houston by the way so I guess it depends on where u live.

I had very poor reception (even wifi) with the latest radio and a prl/profile update. Reverted back to KL2 today and all is well.

Okay after a little more observation speeds are about the same I have run the speed test periodically throughout the days I've had the new radio and it seems like my high speeds are coming from low traffic in the early hours of the morning I am still trying to figure it out.

Yeah I'm getting the same mixed bag :/ I'm getting much more reliable data speeds but that's it, and I'm not sure that the 4.0.4 leak isn't half the reason for it. I'm in a backwoods area on the edge of Sprint's coverage and on KE1 I could make phone calls no problem, with a few dropped calls here and there. With this new one I can't make calls unless I step outside... Data speeds are more stable and texting seems more reliable but I can't make phone calls worth $&%#... In town and at work it seems much nicer, but then I think some credit has to go to the official 4.0.4 as well, not the radio.

I'm seeing faster 3g, don't have 4G in my area to compare. Reception seems the same.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Oh and that's compared to KE5, which was the better working radio for me previously.

Hi to the Nexus S users. I got a brand new Nexus S 4g this past Saturday coming from a DINC. I'm running CM7 stable. Is anyone having signal issues/slow 3g speeds by the way?

Can't say for sure since I have a Tmo NS but having had Sprint I can tell you my wife and I had those issues with all Sprint phones. Their 3g speeds SUCK.
Make sure you have ke5 or ke1 radio

Having the correct radio will give you better reception, which will give you a more reliable connection. As a result you may see increased speeds. Keyword is may. You can decrease your ping by setting a local server ip your phone first connects to. Search for lowering pings. For radios, flash using fastboot. Please be sure to read up on radio flashing as a mistake could be catastrophic. Good luck

I am also new to the NS4G, having switched from evo 4g. Sprint 3G has always sucked the big one and I don't notice any appreciable difference between nexus and evo speeds.
The phone reception IS quite a bit weaker than the Evo however.

What are the stages where this is at right now? Fully usable? Still Alpha? I currently have a Galaxy S2 and love it, but it is big and I really want ICS. Is ICS helping with battery life at all? What are people experiencing performance/battery wise? Things like data speeds? Is image quality any better on the device?
Thanks!
Another ICS thread? Ever thought about joining one of the other 10 threads on this subject and actually read what others have been already saying about it.

The ICS dev threads have hundreds, if not thousands of posts. Makes it hard to find information. I don't currently have the phone so it makes it hard for me.
Real simple is to jump to the end of a ics dev thread and read the posts backwards. You will see the most recent info. In short the rom I am running is very smooth, few things need tinkering with to get them working, no 4g but that is expected with a non nexus 4g source. I will also say that after using a ics rom as a daily driver since last weekend the rest of the world who are waiting on ics for their device will not be disappointed when it finally gets there. As far as the battery life goes I have had the best daily usage out of my nexus as ever, true story.

When everyone says 4G, they mean Sprint, right? I have T-Mo so would HSPA+ work?
well there are roms being developed for all variants of the nexus s. But yes I have the nexus s 4g on sprint.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I'm not sure about hspa+, isn't that just t-mobiles way of saying 4g? Like lte and wimax? If so then I doubt the ability to connect to it works without the official sources being released by google yet.

Excuse all the thread police. Apparently some on here have OCD and treat the threads like their personal panty drawr (nice and neat). But to answer your question: ICS is pretty far along on the device, battery is better than ginger, performance has the potential to be better when source drops (right now it's faster sometimes and slower at others), data speeds are about the same, and image is great. In all, the ports we have are daily drivers for MANY, including myself. Although most of the bugs seem to have been ironed out, I can see there is still a lot of potential. Our DEVS are pretty gangster so we will surely see much more progression.
I agree but keep in mind that Ginger was developed fromour phones CPU. Hummingbird. In which why if runs so fluid. Ics is for the what's ever in the galaxy nexus. No other phone will run ics smoother than the gn as no other phone had ever beaten this on Ginger.
My point is that we need source code so we can make a ron with other elements intwined to the framework. Show me how to sign a Tom and I'll. Dev the crap out of it

I'm using Brainmaster's V2 and it's a daily for sure. I haven't updated because I use A2DP a lot, and the newer versions built off of Koush's rom lose that.

yes most of the roms on ICS for i9020/23 (3G) are lying.
seems like ALL of the 4G Nexus S is working. I found an updated radio image i9020xxki1, but i didn't have the guts to flash it to see if it works.
I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.

mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed
Not only that, even 3G improved in my area.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

No you haven't. Wimax used to be capped at 1mb now it is capped at 1.5mbps. Clearly your screen shot would have shown the 3mbps upload had it really occurred.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?

Speaking of which what's funny is my Epic will have 2 bars out of 4. But my NS4G will have 4 and in most spots they are the same but usually has better signal. But on my epic even with 4 bars on 3g I can't get decent speeds. and on 4g with 2 bars the best I can get is 400Kbps even though it speedtest says 5Mb/s I never see those speeds at all.

I agree but the 3G/4G terminology is a bit screwed. The current "3G" release is 100x faster then the original 3G release. Yet the current 4G release is only 2.5x faster then the current 3G release.
Which is why Android refers to it as H. It should probably stay that way.
But I get 22Mbps on my N4 on DC-HSPA, which isn't as high as you, but I know how you feel. But I live on a continent that's completely GSM/HSPA/LTE, so I never really had the CDMA 3G problem.
Is there anyway to enable 3G/wcdma only after rebooting??
