Josh,

It comes with Tmobile selected as default. However, if it worked for you than that’s great.

I only had the 3G problem once thus far in an area that my G1 also experienced the same problem. However, I am getting slower 3G speeds on N1 that I did not get on the G1. Still no HSPA 7.2 speeds and I’m in a solid 3G area.

I live in Phoenix area and get 3g sometimes. BUT My Nexus has spotty coverage and dropped calls every day on both 2g and 3g. Where as my Mytouch has way better reception on 2g and 3g at my house and around the Phoenix area. So I know its not just a 3g problem. Its a reception problem in general on my phone. So that means its a HTC and or Google problem. HTC made the phone but Google designed the hardware and software. So Idk maybe even android 2.1 could be the problem and not the hardware at all. That’s what I’m hoping for. But if I had to guess its probably the hardware on a lot of the nexus units. Maybe they cut corners to make it thinner and lighter?

Someone from google posted in the google nexus one forum. He only stated they are aware of the problem. There no sure if it’s hardware or software. They would get back to us soon. In another post from this employee he stated the 14 day trial has not been changed? Basically continue to let the clock run out on returning the phone for a full refund. What a deal, assuming the cost of the phone is 175 dollars and they charge 45 dollars and get the phone back it’s a good deal for google. Why would anyone want to take the risk on google at this point. I would expect we will get another vague response on Monday to again string everyone along.

Mine has been working pretty well too, but the 3G speeds are a little slow compared to my bro’s G1. Either way, I’d like to see a fix for the affected N1s.

You don’t think it could be helpful for Google to know that not every handset is affected by this? I think it would help them troubleshoot.

3G on my N1 is slightly weaker on the outskirts of the 3G coverage zone, but certainly not like those complaining make it out to be. I love this device without any doubt, both beautiful and beyond fast, no regret ever getting it.

Is it really helpful to post here that you are not having problems with your Nexus One 3g signal? I’m sure you beleive those of us that are having serious 3g issues. But it is not helpful as Im sure Google, Tmo and HTC view theses posts. Any delay in resolving this issue really blows don’t throw a wrench into the works you are not helping!!!

Hey everyone, I just got my Nexus One (I had a MyTouch 3G as of yesterday) and noticed that my Nexus One was NOT getting the 3G signal at my house like my MT3G did. Anyways, I was messing around in the settings, under “Wireless & Network Settings” I went down to “Mobile Networks” then “Network Operators” then the phone searched, AT&T and T-Mobile came up, I think by default it was selected to set Automatically, but I clicked on T-Mobile as the preferred network, and BOOM, instant 3G like I normally had.

Not sure if this is the fix, I kind of doubt it…but give it a try, might work for you if your having the problem.

I wonder how many of these phones actually have this issue. I’ve had mine for a couple days now and (thank God) have no idea what this problem is all about. A few people post this on a blog and all of a sudden this is the worst phone/network ever. I love my Nexus and i haven’t had any reception problems/issues and i’m coming from verizon.
