Nexus s 4g - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife's nexus s 4g she just got in the mail as a replacement from her stolen nexus s is not having any service at all. In our house she used to get good service now she doesn't have any at all? Is there something I can do to fix it or do I have to send it back??

[Q] Nexus S from Captivate

I'm looking at getting a T-mobile Nexus S. I have ATT and plan to keep this service. Do the benefits ogre this phone exceed my loss of 3G?

you are crazy if you give up 3g and go back to edge on any of these android phones. they are data monsters which thrive on 3g. kinda stinks without it. plus on edge you may miss calls alot if data transfer is in process.
the ATT nexus s version is coming out in a few weeks, so there is no reason to not wait for that version and buy it for ATT.

Really? The ATT version is coming out in a few weeks? I've heard some rumors, but no confirmation anywhere...

2 week old Nexus with odd issues, maybe you can help?

Ok, I have had a Sprint supplied Nexus S 4G, they replaced my Epic 4g with this because I went through 3 Epics in 4 months. There are more than a few odd issues and i'll list them.
1. 4g will not connect even after restarting phone, the Epic always worked in the same spots and it has the latest prl.
2. the whole outside 1/4 inch of the screen seems to not register my fingers.
3. The battery is horrible compared to the Epic, I am running the exact same apps on both and during a movie tonight the battery dropped 30% while not being used and in airplane mode, I would only use 10% to 15% with the Epic.
Has anyone else had these issues or is mine broken? If i take it back to sprint should I demand that they give me an Epic back or another Nexus? If this is normal for the Nexus s 4g then I would like my Epic back. I mean my Epic's weren't rooted so they were probably running more apps than the Nexus in reality. Any help would be appreciated.
Definitely sounds faulty. Take it back IMO
Thanks, went by sprint store and they ordered me a new one, 5th phone in 5 months.

Sounds like they gave you a crap refurb. Make sure its brand new out of a nexus s box.

Agreed. Having used both I had similar problems on the epic but never on the Nexus

They swear they can't give me anything but refurbished phones. If this next one has problems I will call the Executive customer service line.

Verizon phone antennas.

My Verizon upgrade is due in February and though I love my galaxy nexus the reception is terrible constantly in 3g. I had an s3 for about 6 months always had 4g but just missed my nexus to much and switched back despite the constant data drops..
Which phones on Verizon have the best/descent/worst antenna?

Google Nexus Phones on Tmobile lose signal outside USA!!

Has I missed but has anyone tried using the nexus 5 with a T-Mobile Sim outside USA? It doesn't work. I never knew it was the phone until I took a old unlocked from Att phone with me and as soon as my nexus lost signal I popped my Sim in the iphone and got full signal. Next I tried with a T-Mobile Galaxy s4 nexus lost signal S4 worked like a champ. Called google and the first person I talked to told me it was a known issue and her husband takes a back up phone when he travels. The next person told me to call Tmobile.

This is the nexus 5 thread and why are you posting this in a dev section anyway
^ because he wants a magical elixer, secret potion, or flashable .zip to cure his problems and increase his benchmarks.
