[Q] OTA 2.3.4 update(Nexus S 4g) Battery, and Signal Strength

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.

Will you return G2X if update doesn't fix reboot?

I sure as hell will. Wondering who here is ready to return if their phone reboots after update. T mobile will be so swamped if it doesn't fix it, and mine recently has started rebooting randomly, not too often. Just wondering if everyone here will return, if so, t mobile will have quite the ride with this one unless they do a recall.

My sentiments exactly.

I don't think LG is going to let it happened. It's something in the software that is conflicting with the hardware. I'm on customs ROM (CM7) and have not seen it rebooted once.

I will sell the phone if I will see new 2.3 gonna be slow than 2.2
(Im ready to buy Samsung Galaxy S II)

If the update or a battery swap doesn't fix my reboots,i would like to return it but I'm already past my 30 days.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I would make them exchange it. How can they not if you tell them it interrupts calls with a reboot. Also someone else said in the topic about the o2x gingerbread delay that the g2x was pulled and he's getting a sensation. Not sure if that's true or not.

That I don't know. Most likely...

When you ask, "will you return it?" you realize that T-Mobile will not take it back for a refund outside the 14 or 30 day "buyers remorse" periods.
If you are outside that period, returning it for a refund or exchange for another phone of a different model is not an option.
And since the phone has not been available for nearly 30 days now, I dont see how ANYONE could still be within their buyers remorse period.
I was on the phone with an executive from T-Mobile today (not a customer service specialist, retention specialist or tech specialist... a real executive) and there is nothing that ANYONE of lower position at T-Mobile can do.
And as an FYI, the issue is happening with pre-rooted and un-modded phones AND rooted and custom rom phones. I have one of each sitting on my desk right now and both of them have the same issues.

If I jump off this ship the I won't get to see this phone mature.
It is such an awesome device and at least with me the reboots are not bad at all. Just like any other phone I had, nothing new nothing major.
This is going to be an awesome phone ones it matures.

There's always the Sensation. I played with one at my Wal-Mart today and it is very light and small. I was shocked, tbh. I have very small hands, for a guy and it is quite comfortable. The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is that new return policy and the chance of a Nexus Two? Three? coming this Christmas.

I will not jump to the Sensation unless they build a ROM that is without Sense. Sense is fun to play with but it's horrendous as a daily driver.
The Slide 4g or whatever does have me intrigued though. I just loves me some keyboard.

There is no way in hell I am getting another one of these. No way. They can't tell me when the update is coming and each phone has these different crazy personalities!
Mine did two completely new and screwy things today. Completely different than the wifi issues and shutting off type reboots, and screen bleed that this forth phone has been doing already.
First, today when I was at the local Walmart trying to see a Sensation, I took my phone out of my pocket and it was stuck in this loop. The notification screen looked like it was pulled half way down. It was spinning around between landscape and portrait, landscape and portrait over and over about once a second. Kind of looked like a slow motion propeller just goin' round and round. Landscape, portrait, landscape, portrait. Bizzarre. Had to pull the battery.... nothing else would work.
Then tonight, my battery was in the red zone. So I change batteries. I have to enter my code on my sim card before I can use my phone. It took forever to get to that sim screen, then I could not input anything. Finally held down the power off button, the power off screen shows but I cannot input hereeither..,,,,battery pull. Arggghhh!
Then I turn it on, and it takes forever....I mean two full minutes, then shows an error message.....
" Sorry!
The application com.lge omadmclient (process com. lge omadmclient) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
With a "Force close" button
When I pushed the force close, it showed another error screen
"Sorry
The application Launcher pro (process android.process. a core) has stopped unecpectedly. Please try again."
This one had two choices.."Force close" and "Make report"
When I pushed FC, it went right to the former error screen.
Could not get out of this loop. Until I did a battery pull. Power off did not work.
This happened three times. Three times. Finally did an on/volume reset. Arggghhh!
More Weirdness.....
No....I don't want another. Thanks.

+1 I love sense for the eyes but sense bogs down the phone too much. I want my phone to be snappy as possible but it does look like a nice device.. Although I dont think it makes sense to jump ship for it. I think by late fall(which is only a few months a way ) something better will be out and I'll upgrade then The mytouch 4g slide does look interesting as well(I had the mt4g and loved it) Wonder how thick it will be. I really dont have any reboot issues with my g2x. I do have some screen bleed but I'm going to try to fix that I actually have 2 g2x's that's why I dont mind trying to open one up just to fix the screen bleed. The other got sent back to "LG" (really Steller Wireless) for major major screen bleed/screen separation. I hope that one comes back perfect but I'm not holding my breath. But I want to try to fix the one with minimal screen bleed myself

Oh I am going to stick this out to the buyer end... It is a beast... It had me at hello...

[Q] Reset to stock ROM, nothing works

I had too much trouble installing Infused so I just Odin'd back to the stock.. but nothing really works anymore. When I try installing an app from the market it says "Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
and every once in a while
"Google talk authentication failed"
I can't log into anything with 4g or wifi. What do I do? Will AT&T fix it if I just say everything is deleted because I had too much junk on it and it doesn't really work anymore?
Yes I did the market fix. no work.

wow, that's a problem. I'd try to download the unbrick package again, move everything on the SD cards to the computer, do a factory format HARD RESET by dialing *2768*3855# ( not sure if this is applicable to the infuse but it couldnt hurt to try) and if needed hit the call button, if that doesn't fix it on its own then reflash via Odin with the pit file (not generally needed, ususally if you need to use the pit the phone doesn't boot but use it just in case).

Get the stock-rooted-Froyo rom here:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...s&txt=Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.zip
Unzip the zipfile into an empty folder on your desktop
open odin PDA option and select the PDA_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_v2.tar.md5 file.
remove battery from your phone
depress both volume buttons at the same time don't let em go.
replace the battery and you should see a large yellow triangle on phone
let go of the vol bottons
plug in usb cable
check to be sure that in Odin you see the [COM: ] light up with a number in it.
If all is good, click START on odin.
Try not to move the phone around, put it on the desk.
Let the phone reboot and settle down.
Then the last step is go into settings of the phone and select
privacy then select Factory Data Reset.
The phone should reboot, if not power it off and back on again and you
should be good to go!!!
Good luck!

Going against my better judgement, I'm going to flash the ROM from the guy with 200 posts..
dude what the hell is this? This isn't the infuse ROM..
YOU GINGERBREADED ME WHAT THE HELL there aren't even stock ROMS with gingerbread for the infuse in the US. Where did you get this from?
Whatever you did to get it.. it seems to work pretty well except for the rainbows that are really scary and keep making me think I killed my phone. It boots in literally less than 20 seconds.
Edit: Ugh... no camera........ wtf?
Also, how in the hell did you enable 3g? It's an HSPA+ phone. How the hell does a ROM make a phone 3g when it's HSPA+?
another edit: oh it's rogers...
How did you manage to give me a ROM for the wrong phone dude? Now I have to do all this **** over AGAIN for the 5th god damn time because 300/50 network speed is NOT OK.
Finally back to REAL AT&T stock ROM, working after a factory reset. Dani deserves a bj or something.

the rogers rom is all we got for gb right now. it half works. but i went back to the older infused rom as well. the bootloader situation is getting sorted out but it could take a long time. t appeaes that samsung locked the bootloaders, not ine the motorola sense where they prevent rom flashing but the bootloaders cant easily be changed to the ones needed for 2.3.3.
dont put gtg down for getting this out to the best of his ability. i couldnt do what he did. just realize that he put a beta label on it because he knows its not complete unless you have a rogers phone. and it may stay that way till att releases gb because even with good bootloaders there may still be issues with mhl, not to mention att has more noise cancellation features in settings and the dialer.
you will always see a rom frenzy if a new os version is released. thats just xda, it doesnt mean the new rom is better. i dont think any forum is worse than the captivate section, part of why i spent all this money on a similar phone was the fanboyism for broken roms and kernels and noobism to he point of belligerence. read user experience first, realize they are probably talking it up not down. take critiques more seriously than praise. then you wont feel like you were talked into flashing crap. beleive me it gets worse than it is in this forum.

The only thing that actually started this poopstorm was that AT&T doesn't appear to actually ever be releasing a gb update. Samsung and AT&T are the worst updaters for phones, together they rarely produce anything it seems like.

We will have official gb sometime before Dec. Stop crying about EVERYTHING.

itll be here by the end of the year. dont know why they are so slow but some people think it is to control market values. the captivate will get 2.3 at the same time.yet the i9000 had 2.3 before any other non nexus model phone. the roms are interchangable and the kernels have only a few diffs. the captivate coulda had 2.3 months ago and the infuse coulda been released with it. but it seems att doesnt want to upgrade the captivate to prevent it from devaluing the infuse and doesnt want to upgrade rhe infuse maybe to make the gs2 look better? who knows? Google may get involved. they said all capable devices should see icecream sandwich and that they would work with manufacturers to get the updates out back in janurary. so maybe next year carriers wont play this so much.

I agree, we'll see GB by December knowing att. This it's the last time I buy a phone with out the latest update. I'll probably buy the Hercules coming out on T-Mobile same spec as the infuse but dual core and gb pre install works on att 4G bands. With out the proper bootloaders Rogers Gb infuse will have all sorts of bugs. Hopefully GTG will find a way to flash the bootloaders. Google needs to step in and clean up this mess

I know every one has moved onto bigger better things in this thread, but i thought i'd let you know that this is most likley caused by root promissions not being restored correctly. I would flash using odin, and then run SuperOneClick and press unroot. This should allow for any errors to resolve in the subsystem. I was getting this error all yesterday, and this was the simplest fix for it.
Hopefully that works for you.

question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

i could not update the TiBu that came with the rom but once I removed it and re-installed from market then the key no problems.. i did not know that about freezing the apps Ill remember that from the future, i just uninstalled the add on apps anyways I.E. ext4, reboot etc... so hope I will be good to go, if not gotten really good at odin and reflashing lol. Need to learn to just leave stuff alone and quit messing with things lol!! thanks for all you all's help and hope the development doesn't stop for the infuse.

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

I found that the status bar settings has not changed anything that I could see, others have confirmed this. If it doors change anything I think its limited to the lockscreen if any changes are being made at all.

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .

has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.

Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

i thought something may have got messed up so i just odin back to stock before i read this sorry dman, if someone say "me" was going to start back from scratch..... just odin, root, flash community kernal to get CWM then flash rom? should just leave kernal and modem alone? i know everyone has there own personal preference but as i talked to experiment just need to leave stuff alone lol. in other words with this rom what would "you" set up with i.e. kernal, modem, tweaks/ no tweaks, etc.... thanks for the feedback

Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!
TIA for any ideas.

No it cant be shut off...part of the doctors programming...you can tirn the volume down

Q. So I've just got my shiny new One S..... How do i unlock the bootloader ??
A. Congrats First step to unlocking bootloader is via HTCDev which can be found HERE You must make an account first and select your model (if model is not shown select 'All other supported models').. Instructions are on there
Q. Awesome. How do i use ADB ??
A. Check out THIS thread for in depth details with pics. (Credits to MLIGN for creating this)

A. To get CWM + Root please look HERE (Credits to TORXX for creating this)
Q. Ok, Now I Have **TAMPERED** In Bootloader, Does this mean the world is going to end ?
A. No the world will not end, Not today anyway, **TAMPERED** is Normal when using custom software, Such as ROMs / Recovery, It will disappear when you revert to stock. Also, If you get SECURITY WARNING, This is also normal(ish) You will have to relock bootloader and run an RUU to restore equilibrium in the universe
Q. Help my phone is in a bootloop and I can't remove the battery
A. Ok calm down, Hold down the Power button for 10 - 15 seconds... This should force a reboot
Q. Thanks, You're Awesome. Now Where can I find a Custom ROM ??
A. I know, All custom ROMs are in the Development Section found HERE
We have no Kernel Source Code yet, So not everything is possible. Please be patient

A. Well my friend its your lucky day ! Check out this awesome tool HERE (Credits to HASOON2000 for making this)
Q. My phone is faulty... How can i get it back to stock before sending it for repair ??
A. To go back to stock, Run an RUU (available in Development section) If you cannot find one that matches your CID, Extract the rom.zip from the RUU and modify the android-info.txt, Re package it and flash the rom.zip in recovery, WE NOW HAVE SUPERCID, CHANGE TO WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO GET THE RUU WORKING !!.
Q. Help, I did some crazy **** and now I'm in a boot-loop with no ROM on my SD to flash !!
A. Ok, Firstly WHAT THE HELL !!! Secondly, Calm down, Try a full factory reset, or restore a nandroid if you have one, If that fails, Look at THIS guide on how to push files / Flash ROMs via ADB.
Q. Ok, Thanks, But that didnt work, I have error mounting SD card, I think its a brick.
A. Ok, Slap your self in the face 3 times, then stub your toe ! Now look at THIS guide on how to fix your issue

Hi,
Great idea...

Is it known how well the camera will work in a stock ICS ROM, ie Cyanogen etc? What with it using the ImageSense chip and all. Will drivers be an issue?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Way to start the thread off !! you couldnt have asked a simple question could you lol
I dont think its clear to anyone yet how the camera will be on CM9 - Theres a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594470 To CM9 ROM for the One S, But hardly anything is working yet, Including Camera..
I guess its down to the developer of the CM9 ROM and the code & drivers they use, But as for now its anyone's guess...
This phone hasnt been released still in some parts of the world, So at the moment development is slow..

OK how about this one: 5GHz 802.11n WLAN support? The spec sheet on htc.com is kinda light on details.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

Yes HTC One S supports that !
Check here http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s-4574.php

Cant find that info on gsmarena, it states 802.11n support but not if 2.4 only or 2.4/5GHz...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

I thought 'N' Was 5ghz ?
802.11n works in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, it is compatible with legacy 11a and 11b/g users

No, it can be either 2.4 or 5. 5 is better as 2.4 is very polluted with microwaves from various devices, also bluetooth operates in the similar if not the same range, so you get worse wifi connection when using wifi and bt simultaneously.
No idea wherever One S supports 5Ghz though. I guess some info on it will pop out sooner or later.

Most likely there will be massive problems due to proprietary drivers for image chip.

Ok so ive got a question.
What radios are currently available with the One S ?? I got the One S because of signal issues with my Sensation.
Signal is better with this device, But Still not full bars like it was on my SGS... Im on a 'test' period where i can test the device for 7 days before committing to it.
Id like to test some other radios and see whether it improves my signal

I think its a good idea too. We had a similar thread over on the sensation forums. It was incredible. Every one chipped in to help each other like one big team
Id like the same thing to happen to this thread.

My router only supports wireless n on 5 ghz and my s can't see the network . So unless I'm missing some setting it does not support 5 ghz

Hmmmm... It seems you're right !! My router supports both 2.4 & 5ghz
I switched it to 5ghz, It disconnected, I switched it back to 2.4ghz It connected straight away..
Looks like the One S doesn't support 5ghz Wireless. Bit of a bummer really.. Ive had this 5ghz router 6 months, I dont own a single thing what supports it lol

Sometimes (maybe always?) when you enable 5Ghz 802.11n on a wireless router/access point it will be as a separate SSID and you have to set it up with security etc. This is the case with Netgear WNDR3700 (DD-WRT) at least.

My HTC One S just died on me and somehow I can't turn it on again. I was just playing GLWG and it got really hot, then left it for a minute, the screen turned out and when I turned it on again, the screen was strange, so I tried to restart it by long pressing the power button. It turned off and now it only blinks five times when I try to turn it on. Somebody got an Idea?

Hi,
I have seen this with other phones.
Try taking the battery out and leave it twenty minutes ,then try again.
