It's been awhile, how's 2.3.5 treating everyone?
- The update had made a world of difference for me. I'm getting bars in areas that I didn't before. I can't say enough about how much i'm loving this phone. Everything is sweet.08-17-2011 04:08 AMLike 0
- Not a big change change for me. Slightly better reception in 3G and 4G. Better 4G speeds. No issues.08-17-2011 08:31 AMLike 0
- Not much of a change in signal strength, but I think that's more of a coverage issue.
I'm having issues with my wifi.
Seems like every time I start my wifi connection it hangs and I have to toggle airplane mode or completely restart.
And the amount of memory I'm using under "Running" seems to load up quite a bit.08-17-2011 10:04 AMLike 0 - I guess so. Thanks for letting me know what was really going on. There must be a lot of 4G towers in the Boson area. Just today I was driving into work and a had to swerve to avoid hitting one.08-17-2011 11:34 AMLike 0
- i agree totally. this thing flies if you are in an area with good coverage or outdoors. but the minute you go in a building it sucks. its must have a very weak antenna or something. my 3g speeds are down after the "update" too. im on my 2nd nexus and it stinks that im just learning to live with it until my next upgrade08-17-2011 11:59 AMLike 0
- After 2.3.5 I have noticed small but measurable improvements in 3G data speed. I have no problems with wifi connections since the update - to be fair,I had very little issues before. 4G is not currently available on my area so I can't really test it.
There was supposed to be some improvement on the speaker/ringtone "quality", I have noticed none on my unit. The rest is essentially unchanged, which is actually a good thing - nothing broken by the update.08-17-2011 03:22 PMLike 0 - Mine has been good since I got it with slight improvement since the update. Interestingly, my daughter got one a couple of weeks ago and even with the update, she is dropping calls and had has poor wifi even when she is close to a wireless router. I think there are hardware problems with some of these devices.08-17-2011 05:31 PMLike 0
- Unfortunately I have nothing to compare it against. My phone upgraded the day I bought it. It does seem that the number of 3g bars I get is consistently low. In addition, when I'm not on Wifi or 4g the internet speed is awful. My pre internet seemed much snappier.
Is anyone else seeing similar results?
I will say, however, my voice calls seem crystal clear, even when I have low signal strength.08-17-2011 10:24 PMLike 0 - Unfortunately I have nothing to compare it against.

Honestly if you got better coverage with a different phone on the same network and you notice a real world difference take it back and get a different phone. Especially if you usually keep your phones through the whole contract. I hear the Photon gets great reception.08-18-2011 09:11 AMLike 0 - I've noticed improved 4G and WiFi speeds. Unfortunately, the WiFi signal reception is unchanged. I often use WiFi with my phone sitting on my kitchen table. Prior to the update, this was right on the edge of my home WiFi. After the update, it is still right on the edge.
The 1x indicator must have been removed, mine always says 3G. Every week, I drive through WV where I used to be on 1x for extended periods and I knew exactly where those were. Now, it just says 3G anytime I have service. The speeds are still the same 1x though. I don't like this change, I used to be able to tell when the Sprint data network was overloaded in my area as I would get bumped down to 1x, now it just decreases my speed without indication.08-18-2011 04:39 PMLike 0 - After reading about these issues, I felt the same way, but I decided to try the Nexus S 4G anyway and I'm really glad I did. It's true that the reception isn't the best, but it's quite as bad as some people make it out to be. Besides, if you get it at Sprint, you get a 30 day return if you don't like it.08-20-2011 05:36 PMLike 0
