I'm from Brazil and having issues with Nexus S since I bought it.
Before, I was with KB1 radio and could not have GPS fixed and was losing signal several times a day.
So, I updated to KB3 and it fixed the GPS issue but the network signal issue remains or even got worse.
I'm losing the network signal more than 20 times a day and the only solution are reboot.
Could someone help me please?

it could possibly be the signal towers, most likely it is.
you can also try to flash back to a stock ROM + stock Radio and see if it fix itself up
Can I put the Galaxy S radio in Nexus S? Because we have Galaxy S here in Brazil.

very simply... no.
try the JK8 radio? or try flashing a custom ROM to see if its a firmware related problem
also verify your KB3/KB1 packages with MD5 hash to verify its 100%
I'm having that problem also in my nexus S and on my wifes Galaxy S
BOTH are stock roms. Really weird. It enters like 1 or 2 times a day in "Emergency call only mode". Weird thing is: signal bars are FULL but emergecy only text on my lockscreen.
My carrier: VIVO, são paulo, Brazil.

The same here and the same carrier. But I'm using custom ROM and Kernel.
Updated back to KB1.
Results:
Network ok.
Losing 3g all the time.
No GPS fix.
Try to use a custom rom, like cyanogen, it's works grate for me with my nexus in Brazil.

I'm using CM 7 stable.
It's a radio issue for sure.
Nexus S is coming to Brazil next month. Let's see which radio it will use here.
Its really cool seeing us brazilians talking here... You know, I dont have these problems at all but sometimes the 3g bars greys and than reconnect again. This just irritates me when on youtube, when streaming is interrupted.
Abracos,
Thanks

Hi,
You are at Oi, and we are at VIVO. MAybe it's a issue with VIVO carrier.
Here in Rio, using TIM.
Sometimes I get signal lost, but it comes back without needing a reboot.
At work, 3G signal is very unstable. Leaving my Nexus at the same place/position, I get two bars of 3G signal, then suddenly full EDGE signal, then it comes back to 3G.
At home, I get 3G all the time.
There's another thing I've noticed: sometimes when I receive or make a call, after I hang up I lose connection (3G or EDGE). It takes about 10 to 15 seconds to recover it.
I have a Nexus S i9020, 2.3.3 stock rom and radio.
We have to know if that happens in the US. If yes it is our carriers, if not it is our basebands.
Im going to leave oi because the 3g speeds are horrible the max i got was 1030kbps. At Vivo speeds can be 2 times (Or more) better!!!

Bad news for me: I've tried today all radio baseband avaible in XDA and all of them I got signal lost during the day. The worst KB3, K8, K1. In this order.
I don't know what more can I try.
If It won't be fixed soon, I'm sure my next phone will be a iphone 5. I love Android but can't deal with their bugs.
This is issue of the VIVO in some estates like Sao Paulo in a lot of phone models. They just knows about it, and they are correcting this issue.

But why only by rebooting the phone whe can get again the signal. Signal drop is a carrier/network issue but cannot reconnet to network it's a phone issue.

Remembering my ancient knowledge about cellular networks, a cellphone sends a registering signal to the radio-base station from time to time. If the RBS doesn't acknowledge this, this cellphone will lose signal. When you turn off the phone and turn it on, you are forcing a registering. Maybe then the RBS registers the phone, and then you get signal.
What I'm trying to say is that maybe it's not a cellphone issue, maybe it's an operator issue.
Have you tried using another phone with your SIM? Do that and check what happens.

Yes. Before the Nexus S I had a Motorola Milestone and It never happend.
When it lose the singal, the Nexus S can identify the RBS but cannot register. Even If I restart the radio with an app or swtiching to airplane mode and switching again to normal mode, It can't register. What the diference of restart the radio or reboot the phone? Is it not the same "force"?
Hey everyone and tnx for reading this.
I am experiencing some reception problems with my play today.
Just started to happen today.
Here is wat happens. Out of no where (and i really mean out of nowhere!) the phone has no more reception or connection to 3G or wats so ever. Ithe icons show a diff story. The reception level is full and then internet is showing 3G as normal. But i think they hang. Cuz when i use data the 3G icon changes to H.
anyways this has happened over 10-15 times during the past ten hrs or so. My friends are saying ur phone was off or out of service and im at home where i always have perfect reception.
I didnt install or remove any app.
I didnt play with settings.
I try putting it in and out of flight mode. Sometime it worked. Not everytime tho.
I tried restartung the phone. Reinserting sim and batt. Also tried searching for network manually. But i keep losing reception. Any idea?
Thanks

G is slow speed.
E is medium speed.
H is broadband speed.
Go to wireless and networks to change to GSM only (permanently slow but better reception) or WCDMA only (permanently fast but probably worse reception based on how developed your carriers communication infrastructure is).

He was fine bue wen he tried calling me mine said its out of service. Also i couldnt make a call to him. A few mins later everything got fixed and again it got messed up. As i said at all time the reception bar is full! But its not real since i jave no rec.

GSM and WCDMA work differently and independantly. Your old Rogers phone probably worked using GSM.
WCDMA is not as well supported and could be considerably worse reception even though it is with the same carrier.
Go GSM only and note if the reception is better.

Ye i understand. I'm just trying to throw some idea in the air to help you. I can understand how much of a frustrating problem it could be.
Lets' clarify -
1) You bought Xperia Play, worked perfect
2) After a month, your phone shows a good signal, but when friends telephone you it goes to answer machine as if you had 0 signal?
3) Basically all reception is lost and you have no signal, but sometimes it shows you do, even though you dont.
Here's some things to try -
1) Put your sim card in another phone and note the behaviour. Does it stay a strong signal? If yes, then it has got to be the Xperia Play at fault.
2) Put another sim card into your Xperia Play. Does it stay a strong signal? If yes, then it is actually your network provider at fault. If no, then the phone is at fault.
3) Try resetting the whole phone to default. Does the problem persist? If yes, then it is a hardware fault. If no, then problem solved.

Thanks a lot. I did restart it to factory defult yesterday! didnt help! I even reinstalled the whole software using SEUS. nothing is changed.
I know the service provider is fine since my friend sitting next to me had perfect signal. he is also using the same network as i do.
now I am jus waiting for my brother to come home. he has the arc. same network. im gonna double check the sim cards and if its the phone i will send it for repair!
I am having the same problem with mine and reception, I don't know if 85dbm is supposed to be good but I am used to having full bars in my house. I only get about 2 now.
Reception for me is terrible. Used to be a lot better on my crappy old samsung gravity.
Drops to zero bars constantly, and often says no service when inside the house.
My wifi stops working the second I'm out the front door too. Wifi works fine across the street for all my other devices, including a laptop and a samsung captivate.
This leads me to believe the radio transmitter is a defective design. I'll be calling my provider tomorrow.
Edit: wifi doesn't work now at all.
The phone's wifi icon shows it as connected, but theres no transfer of data, router doesn't see the device as logged in.
Some google searches have revealed this to be a common defect. I for one am not pleased.

Just holding the device lowers signal!!!!
I know that sounds like crap but in the instruction manual it says not to cover the back fo the phone as it affects the signal.
No two ways around it, the phone has issues. I have taken it to carphone warephone and shown them it going from 4 bars to 1/0 bars just buy holding it. As it is over 14 days I am screwed. Whats worse it tha that had stop selling the phone to new customers as it has so many issues.
If you look at your battery life, then click on it you get the graph which shows signal. On mine were it say awake / screen on. i.e. you are holding it, the colour goes from bright green to dull green in perfect unison.
I am currently on my 2nd phone, the first one had 5 different faults. I now have 4 batteries due having to use moxier mail as the stock mail is sh1t. unhappy times

Hi guys!
I'm sorry to hear about your problems with Xperia PLAY.
I would suggest that you try some things before considering leaving it into your retailers for a check by a service technician.
Double check that the problem is not caused by an old SIM card. Old SIM's and new phones can sometimes cause troubles. So please try with a later SIM card if possible.
If that doesn't make any difference you could reinstall the phone software or update to Android 2.3.3 which is under launch right now. When the update becomes available for your device differs from market to market and is also depending on operator customization.

I was having trouble with that also.
I changed my router to 802.11G only. I have devices that do not support n so i went with G. it took a day or two but but it fixed it.
to get it working when it does that you have to disconnect and then reconnect.
Ok hello everyone i got a huge problem in my hands. I bought a HTC HD2 for my girlfriend and proceeded to go through the awesome process of flashing all the recoveries and what not.
Its currently sitting with latest MAG/HARDSPL and latest MIUI rom working great.
The biggest issue i have encountered is the fact that the signal is horrible, wont go over 2 bars EVER, unless it drops all the way down and switches over to Edge then has full bars (witch i don't get) She gets a connection to H for maybe 15 seconds then drops to 3G then drops to nothing.
Funniest thing is once you pick it up you can see the bars just go way down, i have goggled like a madman, researched the most i can, tried different Radio and Rom combinations.
We both are under the Simple Mobile network and i have a G2x and the signal is perfect on my phone her struggles wherever we go
I've been reading this guide and i might decide to do this, unless someone with the same issue has found a different solution to the issue.

Hey everyone,
I just bought a refurbished Nexus S for $200. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Loving the phone so far. However, last night I lost data services. The signal bars which is normally green was "greyed" out. I tried the web browser, twitter and nothing was working. Eventually I got data back in about 30 mins or so. I didn't think anything of it. Well, it happened again today. Signal bars were greyed out again. I have less than 14 days to return/exchange my device. Should I exchange it? Is this a known issue with the Nexus S? Just an FYI, I have 2 lines and data is working fine on my BlackBerry.
I'm running stock OS, 2.3.6
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hate to break it to you but one of the few bad things about this phone is its reception. Check what radio version. Your on. If it doesn't say ke1, go on peter alfonsos web site and download the ke1 radio and flash it through cwm. See if that helps.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I'm assuming that requires me to root the phone? So if I choose not to root my phone I'm going to have this ongoing issue?
rooting and installing this radio won't necessarily help. I have the I9020A with the newest radio and i do have this problem sometimes - I'm losing signal and it recovers in random time. the weirdest thing is that I can find my network when I'm searching manually for networks. You are on rogers (based on your avatar), so i can only guess we have the same model. My brother has the I9020A also, and he has similar yet different problem - when he lost signal due to no reception areas, he has to go into airplane mode and back to normal to recover the signal. he also has the newest radio (UCKF).
You should also notice that rooting your phone will make you lose your warranty, and i guess that also the the right to exchange it.
Yes the model I have is the same as your brother's. I know in general Samsung has bad radios. Is it because it's made by Samsung or is it particular to the Nexus S? I have been reading the same issues with the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm guessing it's Samsung.
I don't plan on rooting it because I know it will void the warranty and I won't be able to return/exchange it.
i have same case , which is , when i am back in my room ,away from streets and lots walls for signal to go through , 3G signal is **** , however, you can switch it to 2G signal in order to no to miss any phone calls and SMSs. but , you Internet speed will greatly reduced ... like max 8 kb/s

You should see if your phone is set to wcdma/gsm mode. My room is a inner room also and when it loses 3g signal, it jumps automatically to gsm mode (internet speed is not an issue, WI-FI FTW ).

Well I do have an ns4g and since these forums aren't seperated by model its easy to see why I would make the wrong recommendation. What are you following me around? Instead of being a troll why don't you post something useful and try and help the op bud.

What Radio do you currently have?
I usually had this problem and I had to go into mobile network settings, uncheck 'Data Enabled' and select 'Network Operators' until it found my carrier.
Have you tried checking the Airplane mode and disabling again?
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* when this happens and you go into phone information, do you see it connected?
I've read around and noticed that there seems to be a lot of people having issues on EE, T-Mobile and orange with this device.
On my S3 the signal was amazing, never and issue but on this its always dropping signal and as for the data there's not much point even trying. Drops every single time you they and do anything!
I've been on several different ROMs and the issue seems to follow no matter what I'm on (CM10.1, PA, AOKP) etc..
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks

Glad I'm not the only one, I posted last night about it. I thought the wireless was the issue too but I think that's the dodgey wireless router in this building. Maybe we need to change APN settings too? I'm on orange.
I tried manually selecting the network instead of automatic and seemed to work for about 10 mins solid but dropped again.

I've tried that too. Tried restarting, switching off all wireless connections, etc. Not working well. Now I can't get the h on my wireless icon either.
http://orangeservicestatus.co.uk/ <--- I think I found out why... :/
BTW I spoke to an orange customer service representative on the phone earlier. He said he'd pass on the information to the technical department since I mentioned that a lot of people were complaining online about connection issues recently. My data connection was back to normal late afternoon. How is yours?
I use mine on 3 Network and must admit it's the fasted thing ever. I thought HTC was good but this Nexus is best by far. I left Orange a short while ago as they're useless.
I'm getting the same issue. On T-Mobile UK(EE) I'm thinking it is a problem with the sim card. Had a galaxy nexus before this and data was great. Got a micro sim from the store for this phone. It appears like the connections on the sim are all to one side and touch the metal sim tray. Don't know if this may cause the issue?

I'm getting the same issue. On T-Mobile UK(EE) I'm thinking it is a problem with the sim card. Had a galaxy nexus before this and data was great. Got a micro sim from the store for this phone. It appears like the connections on the sim are all to one side and touch the metal sim tray. Don't know if this may cause the issue?

Really? I haven't checked this on mine, I doubt this could be the problem? I wish orange had an official service status website or something instead of the 3rd party twitter based one... lol
