Hey everyone, I am enjoying the nexus s 4g(traded in my Evo 4g) but I have noticed some issues started to pop up after the OTA update to 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22). Also I am not rooted yet(for fear i will not be able to receive the next update that may resolve the issue's listed below).
Note I have updated my Profile, and PRL(Next to flashing to another ROM to mitigate the issue's).
1) Battery Charging, after the update the battery will not charge past ~95 percent.
2) Battery Life when idle, before the update battery life was outstanding with moderate usage. Now the device's battery life drops to ~85 percent after being unplugged for 15-20 mins.
3)Signal Reception, yet again my phone will constantly switch between 1x, and 3g even though my SNR, and DB never hits above ~65DB-~70DB.
4)Data Rate/Bandwidth, I was pulling 3-4 megs down/ 1.5 - 2.0 megs up(I live in the Virginia Beach Area) over 3g, Now I get "**** for speeds"(.3 megs down/.25 megs up. Maybe it is reference to the issue listed above(AOSP ROMS in my opinion provide a more accurate display of mobile network connectivity).
To end it I hope I am not alone with these issues?
Maybe if possible someone has a solution?
The battery thing is a means to keep the battery in better shape its not a bug.

You aren't alone, all of the issues you listed are being looked at by Sprint and Google right now, although like the above poster said, the battery thing is intentional. Hopefuly they figure out what is wrong soon =/
In the meantime, using wifi when possible should alleviate a lot of those issues, mainly battery life on standby.
Many of my battery and network connection issues got mutch better when I turned the wifi to never sleep.

If your constantly going between networks rider is your battery drain thought there. If it was better before then there is hope your problem can be fixed with another ota

The data issues you are having are due to 2.3.4 and they are known. google/samsung are supposedly working on it. But I doubt we will see a fix anytime soon if Samsung is fixing it!
Woa, woa, woa. Wait a second, are you saying that going back to 2.3.3 or whatever the previous version was will alleviate all the signal/radio/data problems? !?!!?
If so, will downgrading stop me from being able to upgrade in the future?

nope. depending on the version you are going back to you'll mostlikely get an insta notification that 2.3.4 is available for your device, you just got to ignore it until they either fix 2.3.4 or release 2.3.5.
2.3.4 is already out. If they release a new fix it will be 2.3.5.
And what the post above mine says about the updates.
I have also seen tat 2.3.3 also has some issues with 3g. But the post I read up could have been all lies
rentaric, you did not answer the question as to whether downgrading will address the signal issues...

OP:
When you "root" the NS4G, you're just unlocking the Bootloader, then installing SU/recovery....I do believe you can still receive OTA updates. The only time you can't is when you're running a custom ROM.

It will install back a stock recovery and it will fail if you alter any system apps other than that the ota will work

That's why you make a backup of untouched stock ROM.
Hey man, I returned the phone yesterday, and then bought a replacement(same model, but in order to avoid sprint's one exchange limit) With regards to the battery issue, it most likely is hardware related because the new phone running 2.3.4.(Build GRJ22), charges fully and does not have the so called "protect your battery feature". Also while i was at the Sprint Store, I compared the signal strength of my original Nexus S to an HTC Evo, HTC Evo Shift, and another Nexus S 4g. Oddly enough even in the store(which has signal booster's all over the place. All of the phones where around -76db. I am starting to think it is either a hardware issue or a ****ty baseband version. Most likely hardware. Kind of reminds me of the Samsung Captivate i had with AT&T and the ever so wonderful bug with Odin(Orange/Blue flashing screen of death that turned my investment into a paperweight. Also after running the *#*#4636#*#*, and displaying the Preferred Network Settings, I noticed on all 3 phones tested, all devices would switch from WCDMA, to Uknown, to the best of my understanding the default should be CDMA_Auto PRL. Very Strange, very strange indead......... Samsung needs to invest into quality control, before lawsuits start.
Damn! I am on wifi and charging the phone. I just woke up and picked up the phone and started using it. I've experienced that using the phone after an overnight charge, but not removing it from the charger, will make my battery go up to 98%. I just saw it hit 99 and was like I need to get a screen shot of this. By the time I downloaded and installed something it dropped back down to 98. I've never seen this phone hit 99 before today. If it does it again I am prepared to archive it.

My data download has sucked since last Thursday/Friday. It takes 5+ minutes to download an app from the market(some <1mb) and I get "Download Paused" 5-10x per market download. Also, my speed test results are strange. I checked my data usage on Friday and I was only at 4600mb, yet my download was still horrible.
Current speeds:

Average speeds in the past:
My billing cycle ends today. I guess I will find out tomorrow if my data resumes. I have been over 5gb a few times in the past, but never had an issue. Maybe I am not being throttled, I have tried all the fixes I have found for the Market issue. I formatted my memory card, delete .android_secure, have tried 3 different ROMs, same issue. If anybody has any suggestions, I would love to get out of the sub-dialup speed range!
No they are having network issues again. LTE for me is slower than yours lol.. If they throttled you to 5kps, they would be on the receiving end of a class action.
It still says I have 3g, I would only assume that 1x is faster than this. My buddy has a Thunderbolt and his works fine, but he is about 20 miles from me so he may be on a different tower?
Try rebooting your phone. Could always be something simple. Its possible that you are on a different tower thats having an issue. My 3G is great right now, but my LTE is slower than dialup. Think its their end not yours or your account.
Have you by any chance flashed the latest radio? I noticed that once I flashed the latest radio leak, my upload and download speeds dropped significantly. I flashed back to the old (stock) radio and my speeds have gone back to normal.
Reading through some threads, there seems to be others that have had the same issue, while others have had success with the leaked radio.

What's the status? Been having this issue ever since the network went down about 10 days ago. 3g hella slow.
I am still having issues. I took it into my Verizon store today which was a waste. The Vzw guy just called their tech support and he said that he did some stuff "behind the scenes" and that the new radio update should fix the issue.
I installed the radio update in the Thunderbolt Radio thread and I am still having issues. This is rediculous Verizon! It has been over a week! Makes my phone not worth using anything that uses data

To anyone who cares or was questioning the update. My update is running very smooth, GPS updates super quick, battery life has improved and all my apps are working perfectly. I must be lucky.
First of all, previously to the update I was running CM7 RC-1 with morfics kernel which ran great first of all. But of course i wanted to update to an "official" if you want to call it that.
This is the guide I followed thanks to TGA_Gunmann for posting first.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/23/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2x/
I made sure all the steps went exactly as they were supposed to. And i followed them perfectly.
Now i have this.
My version of OS im running.

Battery
Battery life with my normal to moderate usage. It has been better than my experience with froyo.
Been using this all day as well. Widget and background (bg is a Live Wallpaper also)
If someone were to ask me if they should update, My answer would be yes. I have not had any problems yet. Just make sure you follow the instructions CAREFULLY! Maybe someone will find this at least a little useful.
People are complaining but I rather have the update than be stuck on 2.2. Only. Things worth noticing is the stock camera, but we have to wait 4 more months on the update.

Mine went fine as well but I un-rooted first via 1-click, then did a factory reset, and unmounted interanl SD and format before I attempted. BTW, my battery is about the same but have you been able to uncleck the 2G and have it stick? Mine keeps checking the 2G box.

I now notice it only seems to get stuck in the checked position if there is also active wifi connection, otherwise, if the phone is on 4G, the 2G box can be checked/unchecked and the selection sticks.
I agree if anyone wants to update they should, but the only down fall is losing the nice LG camera. That is the only reason I went back. I take a lot of photos of my son who is 2 years old and I need crystal clear pictures like you get with the LG Camera. I think if you want a stable gb rom, do the update. If you want the LG Camera like I do then do not do the update. Just my two cents.
I can agree. I noticed the camera was a little dark. But I can deal without it. I take meaningless pictures unlike you. Pictures of your son is a good reason to go black. I would probably also jump on board if I were to be using it for tthe same.reason

Just install the latest CM7 nightly. GB without the bull****. Stopped my SODs and reboots.
Hoping someone can help me out here. For years, I have been able to maintain good signal strength with pretty much any Gingerbread based phone/ROM.
After purchasing my Moto Razr, updating it to ICS for my wife and purchasing the SGS3 for myself with ICS as well, we can barely maintain 1 bar of signal strength anymore. I have been into the VZ store several times, even had BOTH phones replaced, but still have the same problem.
Remembering how much success I with my former HTC Evo and the various ROMs developed for it, I turned to XDA to begin the same process with my SGS3. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader using the methods prescribed in this forum. However, no matter what ROM or modem I flash, I still have the same problem.
I verified with VZ that the towers in my area are working correctly and even checked with my neighbor to see if he was having the same problems (he's a transplant from NY). He also has the SGS3 with the same problems. BUT, his wife has a Moto Razr that is running Gingerbread and consistenly maintains 3-4 bars of service. She REFUSES to update her phone to ICS because of the problems her husband has had. SO I know this issue is not limited to just me and my phone.
My question to everyone is, WHY is the signal strength so crappy on ICS based phones/ROMs unless you are in a major city? I live 6 miles from the nearest VZ tower and never had these problems until now.
Here are my current specs:
Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM - BeansTown106 Custom Stock Build 9
Kernal version - 3.0.41 - leankernal-0.2.2+
Baseband version - I535VRLG1
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
One side note, BeansTown ROM has given me battery life that lasts ALL DAY LONG! If I can just get the signal issue fixed, it'll be PERFECT!
Development is for releases only.
Not trying to be a jerk, just filling you in.

Nothing is wrong with signal. Ics reads signal different than gb did. Bars aren't everything.
I actually have no signal problems. Im getting 4 bars of 4g 90% of the time. With my sgs3 and my galaxy nexus. Could be your phones or area

If that applied to just where I lived, I might be able to accept it. However, since I have replaced my phone twice already and still have the same issues in major cities like Raleigh, NC....I'm not willing to accept it.

It's got to be your area, man.
Your house -- does it have thick walls? Your office? Work around a lot of computers? My old office had several death spots.
The reason I think it's your phone? I've had both phones with impeccable signal strength. Tell Verizon you want a new one sent out.

Definitely can be about walls or area. I'm on the 17th floor of my building and my signal is bouncing so far.
Synergized GS3
Yea, I wish it was the walls. I'm on my second unit now. No change.
Managed to get a cell site rep from VZ come out to my area and test.....all is good (according to him). Of course he was not carrying an ICS based phone....ugh.
Just got wifey another Razr, running GB. She has 4 bars consistently through out the house.
Again, I maintain it is some difference with ICS vs. GB radios.......I dropped 3 calls just today.
Sigh......
Right now as im typing this, i have full signal @ -69db. So no it has nothing to do with the rom being ICS or JB

This and this. When comparing signal strength, the reported db is going to give you a much more accurate reading than the bars listed on your phone.
I'm definitely noticing a difference as well. Just have to be patient and wait for them to perfect the antenna...

THANK YOU! I know I'm not the only one having this issue. :good:
Ics reports signal strength differently than gingerbread. Use the dbm or ASU. Also, the network authentication Verizon uses for 4G is different than for 3G. This causes some data problems when switching from 3g to 4g.
A link for those who still contend that there is nothing wrong with the 4.04 OS and it's inconsistent radio and data issues:good:.....

Still on 8.0.10501.127
Unbranded HTC 8X in The Netherlands.
Do you have battery life issues after updating to 8.1? I have the preview for Developers app as well and updated and noticed the battery life is horrible afterwards and my cell slowly discharges on USB. Only a wall/car charger will actually charge my 8x after updating to 8.1. I figure it's probably a driver issue.

Well, guess the GDR3 driver from HTC won't help me than. I have a T-Mobile 8X that T-Mobile never updated past GDR2. Seriously considering switching to AT&T as T-Mobile sucks for WP. Only way to get the Lumia 1520 is to buy it full price from Newegg for $625 and it only took like 5/6 months for the version with T-Mobiles frequencies to finally show it's face.

No battery issues for me. except for when i bought the phone it was on GDR2 ota update from T-mobile and was stuck in a constant bootloop. once i disconnected and reconnected the battery from the som all the battery problems went away. in fact since GDR3 ive been able to play one solid game for 8 hours and still not use all the battery. i havent messed with the phone much lately it does seen like when its sitsin a deep sleep it still using too much juice.
maybe a new ruu will come out with 8.1. the other day i had success extracting the ruu_accord_asia. maybe some fiddler2 and some reverse engineering will reward 8x users with custom Rom Upgrades.
...Maybe "plop" a multibootloader in one of the boot files. i found my uefi certs along with hundreds of embedded certificates which reveal direct download links to microsofts certficate repository when dumping the system root to my pc. uefi certs were in a compressed file that did not have a file extension.
Has anybody noticed that some of the .dll files contain ELF headers instead of PE/COFF? Maybe a hint to port windows phone 8 on android?
htc 8x - windows phone 8.1 preview
HTC 8x
Took long time and 3 restarts and lengthy data migrations but works in the end ....
Maybe a bit bigger battery drain but will judge after week observations.
Important is that NFC payment started working !!!!!! ..... Finally year late ....
i would have to say i dislike windows phone. the only reason being app provisioning. there store sucks. i swear there are only 25 apps in the windows phone store. its just that the developers have published there version of the app over and over and over again. its been interesting and a nice break from android. it is amazing how much faster the htc 8x runs than my evo 3d. windows phones handle memory management much better than android.
hi there...
just bought a 8x but when i try to upgrade to 8.1, after download de upgrade, its says it was tranfered but cant be installed... error 80188309.
am i missing something or do i just have to wait for microsoft to solve this issue?
thks in advance...
New update seems to have fixed battery. There was an update I found yesterday by manually searching for one. It's is an update to the 8.1 update from MS. So, not anything from HTC. I did it yesterday and after 8+ hrs at work, my battery has 75% juice left. It would be below 30% before by the time I got home with the original 8.1. I'm now on OS 8.10.12382.878.

I think that HTC has given up on windows Phone. I don't expect many updates anymore from HTC. There have been rumours that microsoft has given permission for dual boot (android and windowsphone) to htc. It would be nice to see a HTC one with wp.
Volume multimedia Issue
I have a very strange issue, when I play music the volume is allright, but I pause the music, I left the phone for a few hours, and when I play again music the volume is low: i put in vol.15 and i hear very low, i put in vol.30 and it sounds as vol.20. I have the "Stop the Music!" app, I stop all and play again and the problem is solved.
All in all is it worth to update?
I read the problems everywhere but no one tells us the positive side. Some people write that the battery drain issue can be solved with the newes update and a soft reset. Is that true for the HTC 8X too? Because for me that is the biggest hold back.
My unlocked Rogers 8x (C625a) has this weird problem, I am using Fido (Rogers MVNO). The phone will work fine with my Fido SIM on Rogers' network. However when I insert my T-Mobile SIM (roaming in Canada), it refuses to connect to Rogers network, it will connect for about 1 min and disconnect, showing "No Service" until it can connect to Telus or Bell. Upon doing a network search, it will show Rogers as prohibited.
The same T-Mobile SIM goes to my Lumia 521, it will connect to Rogers immediately without dropping off.
I think this is the wp8.1 issue and there is a battery drain and warm phone as well. I hope this can be resolved.
Sorry to barge in...can any one plz send me the 8x wallpapers...the stock ones??
Plz...thanks!
Wondering when HTC is going to release the official update. Nokia phones are getting it.
my 8x useto be sim unlocked now after the 8.1 updates its locked back to tmobile again.

Obviously Samsung weren't happy with their efforts to launch this device with a broken email app. They've gone one step further and broken all push notification support in 4.4.
No longer do I receive email notifications, app notifications, or pretty much anything else.
I have to unlock the phone before I'm told that I had an important meeting an hour ago which had a reminder set 30 mind before. Nor will I receive those stupidly funny pictures of cats with bread crusts on their heads on time.
But it's OK, because calls and texts still work just fine. Who needs important emails as long as you have that text telling you to pick up milk the second it comes through.
There must be laws somewhere to protect us against this stuff. Samsung are shocking.
I would suggest doing a factory reset. I have none of these issues. I have multiple email accounts and calendar reminders that never fail to go off unless the battery is dead. Both the first 4.4.2 and the current build (which is much cleaner in general performance btw).

I've done 5 factory resets in the last 2 weeks.
Notifications SOMETIMES work for the first 2 days, before they stop altogether.
Doesn't matter if I have a clean start with no apps installed, having all the bloatware disabled, etc. It always breaks.
I've tried just using the normal battery cover as opposed to the Samsung Flip cover, makes no difference at all.
I've also noticed that Cell Standby is top of battery usage regardless of what I do. Tested different batteries, sim cards, forcing 2G/3G instead of LTE, etc, also with no luck. The battery reporting is also way off too. 100% to 50% drains stupidly slow, then after 50% it craters to 0% within hours. Again, doesnt matter which battery I use (all official batteries btw). Wiped everything via recovery, nothing works.
Am I just one of the victims of 4.4.2? Because I'm starting to think the phone itself is broken.
Also worth mentioning that its only a few weeks old, so 4.3 hasnt been tested, and now obviously I can't go back due to the bootloader update.
My note 2 runs beautifully on both 4.3 and 4.4
I would take your reset one step further and flash the current firmware via Odin. The factory flash you have might be corrupt. Not likely but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it.

Whatever your situation is it's your situation. I've been on 4.4 since a leak was released in January and haven't had any of the issues you're describing. The Gear is dependent on device notifications for its feed so its forum would be lit up like a Christmas tree if what you're describing were common. I can't imagine it's h/w related because there's no specific component that would touch the things affecting you. From what you said, I'm assuming your device is receiving whatever's supposed to trigger the notification but you're not being alerted when it arrives/occurs. That sounds like an app conflict or problem in settings.

Strangely enough, notifications work fine when paired with the Galaxy Gear I got free with it. I just rarely use it due to the nature of my workplace.
I probably should have added, the notifications only come through a few seconds after the phone is unlocked. You can visibly see the phone begin to access the network via the icon, and once it downloads, notifications pop.
And worth mentioning that this happens regardless of wifi access point, and on both 2G/3G and on LTE.

I'll give that a go thanks.
I know you say it's unlikely, but I've tried for hours to find people that have the same issues as me, with no luck. Here's hoping it's just one of those rare cases.

I posted the firmware a week or so ago. That's the build that was just released.

Mine doesn't do this. In fact mine is the opposite, it checks my email more often than what I set it to, kind of annoying.

Thanks but I'm running the international version.
Decided to bite the bullet and use the latest NE3/NE4 update from Asia, as a few people have reported it to be fine for the n9005 model it was intended for. I can always flash back later.
Will update in due course if anything helps my situation.
I had the same problem with WhatsApp notification
And I figured out that was happening because I hibernated google play store app
Just a quick message to say that the NE3 build seems to have fixed my cell standby issue, but ofcourse this is more than likely down to the full odin flash.
Hopefully it stays that way. Will test notifications during my work day tomorrow.
Yet another thing I forgot to add. Notifications have always worked properly when there is music playing to an external device. I assume this is down to the fact that the phone is always awake, and not in deep sleep like it normally is.
Android system and Android OS are both firmly back at the top of my battery usage as per the 4.4.2 norm. Strangely though I can't get the screen usage up at all.
weird. I have had 0 problems with NE3. Are you sure that you didn't greenify \ deactivate \appops stuff you shouldn't ?
i would love to have cell standby up on top as opposed to Android OS \ Android system though i did see a big leap in standby battery life comming to NE3 from ND3 and they were still on top.

Sounds like background data is off.

NE3 seems to be significantly better than the ND6 build I was originally on. I can't judge battery life as ND6 was completely broken where tracking battery health, charge, etc was concerned. But I will say that it seems much more accurate.
So far notifications are working flawlessly while I have my flip cover installed. Hopefully it lasts.
