I also have poor 3g signal, and thus poor battery life. But daily whining all over the Net is dumb. Luckily Fixxer is going to return his phone so we don't have to listen to his stuff any more. (Please.)

Nexus S Has Terrible 4G Radio, Terrible Wifi Radio, and Wifi Tethering Crashes Data

it's not whining, it's trying to come together to find a fix or help the companies. im not sure what the issue is on this site as i see no one else complaining. are you guys telling the same to the upset evo3d users? just suck it up and deal?
Again the issue has been acknowledged by all three companies, everyone in that company may not know, but the important ones do. Let's just keep it neutral.. Stop saying nobody is taking care of it. A Google employee confirmed it was being tested and looked into.
Your a huge hit on bashing things huh? Personally looking more into this with you, it's obvious your trolling and trying to cause major problems. Drop it

Geez, you are on every day, here and elsewhere, with the same unhelpful complaints. When are you returning your phone, again?

I'm not having any of these reception issues. I don't doubt that some are, but there have been acknowledgments by Google that they'd investigate. Give it some time or return in the 30-day window.
theres been zero acknowledgment from anybody. all hearsay on the forums. prove me otherwise. whatever.. im done on this site as some of you are ungrateful that people care enough to get an issue fixed. and spl, you seem like a troll to me and contribute nothing what so ever. quit spamming my youtube and following me around. over 40,000 views to the sprint complaint thread, yeah id say that's more than just a few users having issues. i believe gbhil even said he was concerned about it on the nexus.
Thanks so much fixxxer1022 for the wonderful tutorial that explains so much. I now know what is going on and I hope that Google, Sprint and Samsung take notice and fix this problem.

Google has acknowledged on their help forums they would investigate:

Enough said.. Oh I have more links I can post to. Do not call me out on being a troll, since every post I have posted has been backed with proof. I also have not been flooding every single forum out there with this nonsense in every single topic that can be found. Again it's been acknowledged.. Either return the phone, or be patient like everyone else with the issue has to be. Stop causing problems in this forum. Also my thanks meter proves otherwise that I don't help in this forum. Seriously man if you don't have anything good to say, vacate the forum.
Don't make this personal. Disagreeing is fine - calling people trolls is not. If you have a problem, report the post and a moderator will handle it. That's why we're here.
Can the people who are having trouble with a wireless signal can u download speedtwst and tell me what speed you are getting. Along with who is your provider and router. I'm curious to see what e eryone is running.

Tonight is not a good cell signal night. My phone shows that I have been without signal 55% of the time 
I heard a lot of ranting and raving in your video with no testing of this phone with another SAME IDENTICAL PHONE for true comparison. And you seem to have a lot of videos on your TouTube page slamming Sprint for all kinds of stuff. None of that really helps your case.
Oh, and by the way, 18,734 views of a thread does NOT mean they all have the same problem. I have NO problem whatsoever with the phone, and nor do lots of other people. And since I do work with Sprint, I can say that we have had LESS THAN 1% of the total number of NS4G's sold in MD come back for signal problems, and those that did were reset to factory defaults in the store and the problems have NOT come back (I check with some of the customers who came in to my store with this issue to confirm).
The issue has been confirmed by Google, Sprint, and Samsung, and they are working on it. They have stated this numerous times in emails and on numerous forums. There are even links to there comments on THIS SAME THREAD!
There has been so much whining on this issue by the same people that this thread is almost useless.

That's bad. I have never been more then 1%.

Well said. I wonder how many people have tried doing a factor reset.

I wanna take a second and chime in here.
First off, everybody involved here needs to tell ragnarokx, KSmithInNy, and Adrynalyne thanks for the work they do in the Nexus S 4G forums. You guys certainly are keeping them busy
Now for the meat of what I'd like to say --
The Nexus S 4G has signal problems. How do I know? Not because I have one, but because of the sheer number of issues and questions people, who aren't hackers but fell in love with the look of the NS4G and the screen, and found Android Central's help & tips email to ask about things. These are normal people coming from non-smartphones or another platform -- they're not trolls or people with an agenda, they just want help with their phone.
Having said that, not everyone is going to see these problems. If they aren't affecting you, GREAT! They do exist, and it's going to take work from Sprint to get it fixed. The Evo was the same way. The Epic was the same way. The Shift was the same way. New hardware, or existing hardware on a new network is going to be buggy. People unsatisfied aren't automatically trolling. They want their phone to work.
But -- fighting and feuding, driving moderators out of their minds, or attacking each other isn't going to do a damn thing to fix any of the affected phones. I know we are all passionate about our smartphones -- I am, too. But please remember two simple things:
I'm here, asking as your friend. Let's keep it calm, because we are the face of Android. We're scaring newbies away.
Thanks

My phone is now reading 11% time without signal. Seems to be improving. I can hardly wait until I get my new Airave. That may help
Lot of passion around here! Well I hope the people responsible for fixing these issues have half as much passion about there Jobs if so we should see a fix any day.

Radio reception is definitely not good. I'm coming from a Samsung Moment which already had horrible 3G reception and this is worse. Even Wifi radio isn't that strong.
Have any of you had better luck with your second or third Nexus S? I'm considering exchanging mine to see if I have any luck before the hard 30 day deadline, but I don't want to waste my time.
