Nexus S Weak Radios/Battery Problems

[franklights]

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I like the phone but the lack of signal reception is bothering me. I haven't dropped a call yet though. As far as the speed it blows away my old phone! I don't need to go to 11!!! lol

Well, I did it. I traded in my Nexus S 4G for the Evo 3D on Launch day. It was the end of my 30 days and I could not let it go. The antenna problem was huge for me and I have always had great reception with my previous HTC Touch Pro. I hoped the Evo 3D would deliver on the signal reception and it did - and then some! I am seriously happy with the Evo 3D. The only drawback is the netflix not being available on it yet. Apparently there is a problem needing to be resolved before they release it again but it will come - as opposed the Nexus S 4G which in my opinion has a design flaw that no amount of software programming will fix. If anyone is debating the switch - do it! You won't be let down. I did not want it for the 3D but it is a serious BONUS!

Just wanted to bump this to see if anyone had any updates.

I got a Sprint, Nexus S and my reception is pretty horrible. I'm listed as being in a "good area" but roam quite a bit. In fact, compared to my HTC hero, data reception is horrible.

Just curious if anyone has any ideas or suggestions? Responses on the Sprint forums have said to take it in to the store, but I bought my device from ebay so I'm unsure if they'll be willing to help.

Take it to a corporate store anyway...doesn't matter where you bought it.

Thanks for the tip. Do you have any thoughts on what they'll actually do? Is it possible to "test" a phone's signal strength? I've had mixed experiences a the Sprint store. I've found place and employees that are exremely helpful, others not so much.

I'm curious if there's any "at home" I can do between my HTC hero and Nexus S.
