Wrong kernel can cause this.
Try to install new ROM. There are plenty available for you on the ns dev sections. Find one which is suits for your NS.

Sensation 2G Network Speed ?????

Someone help me understand how this is possible please.
I just got a new sensation today. I don't have 3G/4G in my area but so far I get the best signal with T-Mobile.
I was checking my speed via the stock browser with www.mobilespeedtest.com and here are my results.
I put my sim in an HD2 running WP7 and did the same test and get pretty much the same results. But there was one that just blew me away.
10728kbps ?????
They cant be true. Something is either wrong with the site or I need someone to help figure out how I make my phone have that kind of connection all the time even while not being in a 3G/4G area.

[Q] I9020A Radio Problem..some help??

Good morning.
I have a problem ..
I have a Nexus S I9020A and installed the ICS of the beam, but not really like.
But now the problem is that sometimes I get no network! and I can not make calls or send messages ..
already moved to the radio KF1 and this happens ..
Last night everything was ok, but today morning it was with this problem ..
Rebooted and is now working ..
what can I do?
Now I have the new rom of oxygen with the kernel of the franc.
Thank you!
Well, now I went to an area where the network is low, and sometimes do not even have.
Turns out I've been moving in the part where I choose the network automatically or manually, and now when I have network, I get no service, and it appears over a triangle with an exclamation point to say that the network tmn is not available, or something like this ..
I too would like a fix... I just bought the phone coming from a vibrant thinking, sprint, 4G, Google nexus s, hell ya! The minute I left I noticed service was surprisingly low compared to my vibrant. I figure throw a custom rom, kernel, modem package would fix it.. nothing. Full 3g at home on the vibrant... lucky to see 2 bars (in fact I haven't EVER seen 4 bars on here anywhere) . Pretty close to returning it... I thought the now network meant faster speeds... just a catch phrase I guess.... I've flashed the 3 radios posted and all three didn't change my signal at all....

4g connectivity

I know that the radio was a problem on the NS4g last summer (my friend got one, then returned it for an evo because she couldn't get a data connection) and I thought it had been taken care of by now. My wife's phone was stolen last night and I found a NS4g for 120 (only used for 2 days!) on craigslist so I went for it. Anyway, I tried connecting to 4g and it is sporadic. I placed my e3d next to it and they both showed 1 bar, but my e3d achieved 3.5 Mbs and her ns4g got 800 kbs.
So my question is: does 4g still suck? If so, can I mitigate that with a different rom (I am completely stock at the moment). Please help me out since we both use 4g pretty regularly.
Soooo, I guess by the large amount of views and lack of responses, that I have stumbled across one of those questions that I am not supposed to ask. Perhaps this is one that has been asked ad nauseum and is thus being ignored??? I do apologize if that is the case, but I can't seem to find the right search terms to bring up a discussion of if the radios were ever fixed and if there are any ROMs which mitigate the weak signal. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be appreciated, if not, I will let this thread die.
Well I am sorry as I am on T mobile with an I9020T ...... Not sure about Sprint network .
But from the numbers you mentioned , 3.5 megabits per sec isn't that high !! even on 3G I get sometimes a higher speeds ... I think I didn't miss much going with a 3G device not with a 4G one !!
BTW , what android version and radio you're on currently ? did this NS4G got any OTA as you start using it ? did you ask Sprint about the issue ?
Goodluck

On the sprint network 3g is like 1x. LOL I usually get somewhere around 300k on 3g (thus the importance of 4g). To be fair, I only had one bar on 4g (I usually get around 7-8 M on wimax). Anyway, I made sure to manually request all the updates through the menu and I am all up to date. Android version is 2.37 I believe, but am unsure since the wife has the phone and is away at the moment. radio? not sure. I haven't asked sprint about it yet. I just wanted to check here to see.

is my phone blocked??

bought a nexus s with a properly smashed screen off ebay and replaced it with a new one. when i insert sim card and search for a network it says cannot connect to network please try later. does this mean its been imie blocked?? bit pissed off to be fair but hey ho always a gamble when you get off ebay
I believe that you would still have to activate that with carrier and if it's blocked they can tell you

it just registered on network then it cut off again,could it be the antenna? anyone know the location of the antenna on the nexus s?
when connected to network calls and texts dont work but 3g internet does. help appriciated
This sounds like a job for Odin. Get the newest factory image from here and be sure you flash everything....rom, kernel and radio, especially! This is the best way to see if it's a firmware or hardware issue. If it still happens after a factory flash you'll know it's hardware related.
