hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help
Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

gonna try that see whats up thanks.
Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

It wouldn't be Android if it didn't have bugs. I'm just glad they're getting it fixed.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."
Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

I understand the update has been pulled because it caused more problems then it fixed. A new update ifs reported to be released in the next two Weeks, though that is not 100% confirmed.

Its not a huge problem for me. I get great reception almost everywhere I go except for some basements and at work.
I can't take calls while at work so its not a problem.

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.
I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

Hey there. I had the problem with my nexus s in low signal areas too. Try using the phone info code, *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone, use the menu to reselect the radio bands.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Get the screen replaced? How does the screen affect this bug from what I've read its a software bug.

Anyone else have an issue where "Check for Updates" is 100% non-functional? Since I first got the phone, checking for updates always results in the window vanishing and nothing happening. My girlfriend's Thunderbolt always pops up a window saying no updates available. Today when the OTA finally rolled out, her phone picked it right up when I checked for updates. My phone still sits there like it's staring at a wall confused. I've done probably ten factory resets since I got the phone and it maintained the same behaviour each time. Is this a hardware issue or am I not clearing something that the factory reset does not get? Not really a dealbreaker as I can update through HBOOT, but annoying to say the least.

You are probably in a non-4G area and the problem is due to eHRPD. Revert to revision A and then try to update and see if it is any better.
eHRPD has issues... (though Verizon keeps claiming they've fixed it).
I have the same problem and it happens on 4g too. If I press the check for updates button enough it will tell me network isn't available when it is

Sorry to hear that bro, are you rooted? I did glance at you op again and we were having different results. You said your update search window would disappear, but mine would say network not available. I also apologize for misleading you. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware problem, probably more of a software one. But if you really want to I would just root and get the update from jcase's thread or if that isn't the route you want to take maybe Verizon can help. I know, I know, they normally don't but you never know.

I may just go ahead and root. That way my inability to update would be a "feature" and no longer a bug.

Root is definitely the way to go as long as you've done your homework. If you haven't taken this step before make sure you read through everything and understand what you are doing before proceeding. If you have any problems or questions feel free to pm me.
I am having the same exact issue. I even tried manually updating the update.zip file and I keep getting an operation error and phone just reboots. Any ideas why this is happening?

if you are manually doing it the file needs to be in the root of your sd card and named PG05IMG.zip
Will my device be wiped if I use that instead it update.zip?

By doing this, will it wipe my phone or will everything still be intact (like the true ota update)? I still havent received the update and everytime i hit the check new on my phone, the box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now but then quickly just disappears. It seems like it it not fully connecting to servers to check for an update. It has been doing this since day 1 and im getting the feeling I will never receive this update over the air.
I reset. I go 4g only. 2g only. It will work for a while and then just nothing.
Turning on wifi even when there is no wifi seems to help.
Anyone know a better method?

Your really gonna hate this. My simcard was sent to me may 7th .
It is suppose to be the newest type.
Yes when I do get signal the speed increase is noticeable.
But it did not help the drops. Even when it shows a signal. It won't keep it.
I hate having to go in and do airplane mode all the time so I can get a signal and post to xda.

Use Set DNS from the market and wait for the official fix from LG/TMO.
Omg. I have this problem too. I told tmobile and they're replacing the phone. Does replacing the aim work though? Because i've tried that and I still can't get a steady signal.

Same here, just started today and if that weren't enough, for me anyway, The International Data Triangle popped on and I have no voice coverage. I flashed back to stock and got the voice back but the data drops in and out. I wondered if there is some sort of outage. Called in and NADA that they are aware of.
Weird.. Might have to send this one back. This will be the second time. PRL and Profile Update fails.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul Btw.
That's my same situation everything exactly its wrks better wen u unroot but rooted sux signal wise I thought I was the only one having this issue I wonder is it just our phones or did da update have sumthn 2 do with it?

Not sure. When I called Sprint, they checked the tower strength, Known issues in the area and found nothing. So they want me to stop into a store and have them look at it. I put the standard recovery back on and locked it back up. Wish me luck.

Maybe you were watching the local action at Jennifer's and something in your pocket activated the PRL by mistake? Wink wink.

Yeah, on ke5. They did manage to fix it at the store by erasing some network stuff and reinstalling the ota latest update with their computer. Then they said blah blah blah. I told them thanks a bunch. We will see.

Sorry for the highjack, Snoopy. Let's get your situation fixed.
Hey guys--
Sorry is this has been posted but, the xda app isn't exactly search friendly. That being said, I'm having issues.
I'm on Sky JB Base 7.1 update 7.2 and i'm having issues with the radio (UCLF6). It will be connected for a few minutes then loses all service for a few minutes (wifi stays connected though).
Sorry if I'm not giving enough information, but if you need more, I'd be glad to oblige.

Thanks for the reply. Tried to flash UCLF5, and no connection at all. Even at boot up.

Does it matter that the radios were for ICS, or that doesn't matter?

Hmmm.. I've found a few and I seem to be on the right track. Still no good.
I noticed that when I was on base 5. On base 7.1, I'm not seeing that anymore. I'm on UCLF5 and no issues. After flashing the base, it's highly recommended to let it sit and cache. Then start the Google app restoring process. Also check the governor (on demand or performance).

Okay then, guess I'll just start from scratch. I'll report back later today.
Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.
I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

I fixed my reception with 4G accidentally, i flashed the Lightning Zap v3 kernel to improve battery and lo and behold, reception hand off is fixed!!
