The fix is to allow the phone to look for a network: go to “Settings” > “Wireless and Networks”, choose “Mobile Networks” > “Network Operators”, choose “Select Automatically.”

This did not work for me as stated …..

My original problem was the same : 3G to Edge to 3G as many have stated.

HOWEVER, comparing the nexus one settings to my HTC MyTouch settings, I found one small difference, and making the following change seems to have made a difference for me:

Menu –> Settings –> Wireless & Networks –>
Mobile Networks –> Access Point Names –> TMobile US –>
Authentication type –> Then select “None” (was not set explicitly by default)

I will keep a close eye on this (has been good for the last day or so every chance I got to check) and will keep everyone here posted on new findings

Hope this is helpful!

I think it is a Software and or hardware problem , This guy has a Nokia 900 and he is getting 6 Mbs on T-Mobile, while we think 800kbs is fast. We have to be more vocal and light a fire under T-Mobile's ASS! If the N1 is not fixed soon we should return them all and get the Nokia N900 (its a a bit heavy but it works) See the speed the Nokia N900 has here

What if the Nexus One can actually pick up the true signal strength that our G1 and Mytouch didn’t. What if those earlier devices didn’t have the technological capacity? From my own experience 3G is working fine for but I did notice a drop in speed compared to my G1 and Mytouch. If my G1 has full bars the Nexus One will have 2 or 3. In my opinion it’s not a hardware issue. It’s definitely a firmware or network issue.

According to Cyanogen on twitter the problem is that the signal is switching between UMTS and HSDPA, which I am not suprised to hear. They upgraded the network right before the launch, dumb move. If the developers can come up with a method of locking to UMTS or HSDPA, I believe it would solve the problem, other than that I would believe all 3g equipment would do it if it were a network problem as all 3g phones are supported under the new HSDPA

I am also a die hard Nokia fan/user and I am am trying to decide whether to remain with Nokia by buying the N900 or switch to Google/Android and get the Nexus One . After reading more than 20 reviews about the Nexus one I have to admitt that even with the 3G issue , the Nexus one will be my next phone . I will just be a little patient until the 3G issue is fixed , then I will buy the N1. The price may also go down .It is just not a good idea to rush and buy a new phone on day one as in most cases the first buyers may end up having problems .

I still don’t know what the big deal is with this Nexus One phone. It seems like about the same as the Motorola Droid so I can’t figure out why everyone is making such a big deal over it. Compared to the Iphone you can see differences but it isn’t apparent to me. Is it because its a Google phone?
