Mine took a while to connect.
But once it was connected, i found Navigation very good!
HTC Hero running SenseHero 2.1
I agree. Takes way too long to connect. But once it connects, it works perfectly.

Hello everybody,
I just want to give my opinion about my new Nexus S.
I started on android long ago on my HTC Hero. I liked this mobile a lot, but we waited so long to get our update to 2.1, so I used custom rom like everybody. But custom rom are never stable as the original one.
that's why, when I decided to change my mobile, I choose the nexus S. To be sure to always get the google update.
Even I don't like samsung so much compare with HTC, the update part was too important for me.
So I bought the Nexus S two weeks ago. I expected that the hardware and the software match perfectly together.
But now I discover several problem which make me very disapointed.
First, the volume level for call is really too low. I can not hear what people say if I'm in the street.
second point, I can not open the youtube application.
Third point, google sky map doesn't work well, as well as google street view. There is a problem with the gyroscope.
The Nexus S is the mobile 100% google. It's should be a reference for everybody. I can not accept these kind of problems. These 3 points works very well on my old HTC Hero...
I should not be oblige to instal a custom rom just to let my mobile work normally! This it's the minimum we can expect for a google phone of this generation!
Do a lot of people have these problems?
Thanks for your answer.

My incall volume is to low as well pisses me off no way to fix it yet either Google needs to step it up and all these other phone makers

I agree. Kinda disappointed. Still like my HTC Magic and works well with custom ROM. Can't get my YouTube running and the hardware design is not that great. Only thing that makes up for the hardware us pure Google.

Device: NEXUS S
Carrier: TMOBILE
Country / Language: USA
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): 2.3.4
As of about two weeks now, my Google services connection sync and even Gtalk never stay on consistently. Data icon goes from green to gray, after wakeup. hen when it is green, I only then start to receive me push notifications. I never had this problem before and was very happy with the Nexus S. Now, however, I'm not so sure about that anymore, and it's a consensus out there that there is no solution, and that Google is "looking" into the problem. I don't think it's necessarily a hardware issue as everything was fine out of the box when I first got my phone, so its likely a Google server problem? Though it sounds like the problems are isolated to Nexus devices and myTouch 4G phones.
I would call Samsung to try to get a replacement device, but from what I hear, it doesn't solve the problem either, and Samsung's CS really sucks too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am going through the same trouble, too. I think its more of Google server related. One thing tthat I am sure is, it started very recently. About 3 weeks ago.

I have the same issue. It started a few weeks back. Got the 2.3.4 ota...same issue. Came from 2.3.2.
It's been happening to me for a while as well. Even back in 2.3.3 when I was on CM7 and OEM. I seriously think it's a problem on Google's side and they really need to address it because it keeps logging me off of Gtalk which is annoying.
Funny thing is. I notice that it happens alot less when I'm using 2g only....
Wonder if there is something to that..

I am having the same problem since around mid April. This is so frustrating, please guys flood the google help forums, this the only way google will see the seriousness of the problem.

Flood indeed. Google is clueless on a solution to this problem, especially if they don't even acknowledge it..

Yeah I stay green if I'm on 3g, so maybe it's a wifi issue. I would've sworn it was a 2.3.4 issue though.
highly doubtful that this is a wifi issue, with the number of people of various threads stating that they dont even use wifi....worse yet it occurs regardless of wifi or 3g/2g
i posted a video on youtube showing the problem
http://youtu.be/axpyhgdvuMs
i have the same issue, both of my nexus 1 and tmo G2
So I just installed a digital media reciever in my truck. For those unfamiliar with DMR's, they don't play CD's but only audio from an iPod/mp3 player or Bluetooth audio from a phone. The question I have is I have the unit paired with my phone but doesn't automatically connect. I have to go into the Bluetooth settings and manually connect it every time. I know this isn't something with the DMR as I had to do the same thing with my Supertooth Buddy hands free kit. Is there a fix for BT so that I will connect or is it something related to running a GB rom (I'm on humble 5.0)

I don't have the answer for you, but I have the same problem with my motorola bluetooth earphones. I have to turn bluetooth on and off twice before it will connect.
Yea it gets kind of annoying after a while lol. My girlfriend's incredible 2 syncs to the head unit right away everytime but I have to connect manually
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I am having this problem too. I would love it if someone had a fix.
Unfortunately the bluetooth radio on this phone is bugged, like many other parts of the phone. I could never get it to consistently connect to my truck. It would work for 2 days, and then randomly decide it didnt want to work and I'd have to reboot the phone and manually connect it.
I've never had the issue of it needing to be rebooted but it just won't automatically connect. Only once did it actually connect on its own.

Are you using the phone stock out of the box with EE4? If so that is part of the problem the BT software is a little lacking - If and when you get the OTA update that should fix the issue, or you can manually upgrade. My Charge connects no problem with the DMR I put in my truck
I'm on humble 5.0 and haven't gotten around to going back to stock for the OTA. I may give that a shot in a few. Also what DMR are you using? I'm using a Sony DSX-S300.

I have the same model, but the model number ends in BTX
I do notice that the first time after I flash a new ROM I have to tell it to connect, but after that it connects just fine by itself after that. The only time I had any issue with BT was on EE4 every GB rom I've used has worked fine. I've not used Humble 5, but Humble 4.x worked fine. I do like the DMR in my truck, I also got the external microphone, the jog dial is a tad funky, but I'm getting used to it

I also just flashed the Humble 5.0 ROM yesterday and am having issues with my BT on my truck stereo. I have a Tundra with a stock radio that I have not had any connection issues with at all. I'm going to go to the Humble 5.0 thread to see if I can find anything there.

Yea mine is the S300BTX. For $170 you can't beat it. The jog dial is a little weird to get used to. Thank god it came with a remote lol.
I'm going to try going back to stock since I don't have anything better to do today. I'll report back and let you know if it made a difference.

I found this thread while browsing the frontpage of xda. If you're having problems with gps locking on, check this out. Just follow the directions and test it out.

I'm currently on creamed glacier 7.0, with stock froyo radio (which has never given me gps lock problems or data problems) and I was getting VERY slow gps lock ons.
I checked out this thread, flashed the google specific cwm flashable patch 3.1 and bam, it worked miracles. I got a lock in like 2 seconds.
Also...I was tempted to post this in the dev section, but I want to avoid the bashing for a day.
I've been waiting all day for someone to respond to this and say it works. Thanks for posting this!
Edit: Just tried the T-mobile specific files. Seems to have worked well, but I'll find out tomorrow for sure.

Yea, you kinda just have to sit down, test them out and be patient. When I first glanced at it, I was like no way, but I didn't have anything else to do so I sat there and read through it and tried the latest google specific one cause he recommended the google specific ones and it worked.
Thankyou

What fantastic timing that you posted this. I was just searching all over this morning at work because I had no functioning gps. Saw you posted, hit up the T-mobile centric files, and it worked just fine.
Someone should tell that guy that it works on the Glacier too.
Edit: I was off by a month, but the message is still the same. Easiest and most effective fix I've attempted yet.
I installed same fix.
Now although it fixes very quickly, in Google map Nav. it says "GPS signal lost" every 5 minutes. I need to restart the Nav. to get the gps lock again. Any one has the similar problem?
update: seems radio is the root cause. I was on the latest radio. After I flash to original tmobile one, this issue disappeared.

I don't know about you people, but some ROMs appear to have the gps configured differently than others. I found for those that the gps locks on slower I use "GPS Status" from the market and it seems to help.
Apparently I have been having trouble since this morning with connecting to my google account. It has been saying that I can't sign into my gmail account. I am on Paranoid Android build on Sep 2. It was working before, I tried a reboot but nothing has worked. Should I just update Paranoid Android or is there something else I can do?
I'm on CM10 and I have this issue, too. Is this across most/all devices or only a select few?
I'm getting the same error on synergy r73, my google services work fine but its telling me that i'm having issues signing in. Even tried changing passwords to try and trick it into thinking it was syncing fine but still pops up.
Yes, same here
It seems its a global thing, I too get the error on my Galaxy SII with CM10
Might be a bad route somewhere, because I've been logged in all day from home and then from my phone.
EDIT: Seeing later posts, I don't have or use Google Now - this is a stock, unrooted phone.
- ooofest
I just started seeing the same thing on my phone as well. GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Good to know its not just my phone. Wish i had known that before i changed my password =/
im not getting it on my GS3... maybe only some people are?
Ive been having this problem too. Im running stock rooted 66. All my normal Google apps work fine and my options in account sync across the board. The issue, with my device at least seems to be the google "now" search i flashed to my phone. Trying to get to that and see my cards initiates that error.
Did a little googling and the gnex users are having problems too. It seems like its connected to the google maps update. Google said they were changing some stuff to have sync across devices like when you search on your comp, the search history will show up on your phone. Im guessing google search card trying to pull maps is the issue for me? Can anyone confirm if you also have google now and having these issues because of it?
I wonder what is causing it? Especially if it is happening on multiple devices.

Most likely a Google Now issue. Go to settings, apps, all, open "Google Account Manager" and disable notifications. Its a temp solution till Google fixes
