4G or regular - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I feel so stupid because some roms tell me I'm on a nexus s 4G and I know koodo doesn't have a 4G network but is there any way to tell ?

I don't quite understand what your question is?

The roms for nexus s 4g are only for the cdma sprint version of the phone. May work on other cdma carriers, i just don't know.

nexus s 4g gets no signal in germany, so that already answers your question. also check the label under the battery, would say D720 if it were a 4G. (guessing yours reads gt-9023 -> SLCD-screen)
if your roms show 4g-things, you're flashing the wrong stuff. ^^

Power off your phone. Hold volume + and press power, until you're at the fastboot screen.
You should see a screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If next to bootloader and baseband version the number starts with D720, you got a Nexus S 4G.

4G Speeds of 1-2MBPS?

Running CM7 Test 4 on the new radio. Finally got 4G to switch on and stay on but my speeds are terribly low (0-2mbps). I believe im running REV A enabled per the advice of someone in the CM7 thread.. Any idea's? I was so happy to see that 4g icon light up but its still running like its on 3g.

It might be the network? I'm not saying it is but it's something to think about.

It would be helpful to know what area are you from. Could be network issue.
If you're in NYC the speeds should be normal.

I think it's something with cm7 and the recent 4g outage. Pretty sure slayher commented about it on his twitter. I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update soon.

For anyone interested it was the network. Rom works fine once its got a lock on 4g. Had it stable all day. Speeds shot back up without a reboot or anything

Man, that white battery cover is sexy as hell. I so want it and can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I also got the white one for AT&T.
One thing you'll learn quickly is that with the official radio on the i9020a, the data speeds are capped in the ROM. You should probably read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
You will need to unlock the bootloader and root the device in order to apply the fix but after that you will love the speeds you can get on your NS.
What radios are working well for you all? I haven't had a chance to read up on them yet.

I've got the white one on ATT as well...
i have it and love it! Although, I am considering getting the Galaxy S2 unlocked

From what i've read so far, the KB3 radio is the best for the AT&T version (i9020a)
One month later.
Do you guys regret paying full price now that the nexus s is officially on at&t. I did for a minute but then I was reminded that it have the white one so I don't regret.

whats the best rom for nexus s 4g ICS

What's the vest Tom you guys have found for the Nexus s 4g? I want to be able to use facelock and all. Please let me know and where to download from. Thanks!
I'm sorry. I mean what is the best rom.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Here you go. It was just released yesterday, fully built from source, works amazing. Has face unlock and every feature the GNex has.

OK that's the one I just downloaded. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded it from my phone and went to recovery and it won't install it.

OK I think I figured it out. I think I downloaded the nrsus s file instead of the nexus s 4g file. Would that do it? Lol

Yeah, lol. You need the 4G version. The other one isn't made for the sprint one, two different phones, actually.
I think you'll like this ROM better than the SDK port.
I hope so. So I can download the file on my phone and install it? I don't have yo do it on a computer?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Nope. It'll just be in your download folder on your USB storage/sd card when it's done. It would be faster on a computer though, but it can be done on a phone.

Still waiting for phone to download. Computer internet is slow. So iis this the actual version of ics?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Yup, pretty much. It's a combo of some ported Galaxy Nexus drivers, the source code from this past week and some other stuff. It's pretty legit and awesome.
Face Unlock is a little iffy though. You gotta hold the phone almost arms length away from your face or it will say it doesn't recognize you.
I got it. I like it. Why doesn't mmswork

Note5 on att

I have a t-mobile note 5 on t-mobile right now. Well my problem is the area I'm moving to t-mobile sucks. So I can pay off my note 5 and see if it will work on att network or get sprint.
So my question is does it work on att network?

Yes, but you'll need to unlock it first

I'm doing just that. Popped sim in and it worked fine. Didn't even need to add data settings

I just switched to AT&T from T-Moblie due to bad data coverage and poor signal quality.
I paid off the device and unlocked with the T-Mobile unlock app. Got my AT&T sim and pit it in and profit.
One thing you need to do is make sure you call tech support and have them provision the imei to make sure you get max data speeds. Below are my data speeds with AT&T. Blazing fast compared to T-Mobile.
