Google Set to Fix Nexus One 3G Issues

Tweet

We reported back at the beginning of the month concerning a fair number of Nexus One owners reporting issues with the Nexus One’s 3G reception and now its been confirmed that Google, HTC and T-Mobile are working on a fix with engineers apparently having narrowed in on one particular (unnamed) issue that could affect 3G Nexus One reception in ‘specific cases’.

“Our engineers have uncovered specific cases for which a software fix should improve connectivity to 3G for some users,” says a post on the Nexus One support forums. “We are testing this fix now, initial results are positive, and if everything progresses as planned, we will provide an over-the-air software update to your phone in the next week or so”.

As stated above, no specific detail as to what this fix is, or what it specifically addresses (hence giving an insight as to quite what’s up) has been provided and, interestingly, it would seem that though a fix is confirmed as pending part of the problem could be users “being on the edge or outside of 3G coverage” which a “product fix cannot address.”

Of course there are many on the support forums that would argue otherwise (having tested 3G reception with alternative handsets when experiencing difficulties with the Nexus One’s 3G reception) so it’ll be interesting to see just how this fix goes down when it’s (expected to be offered) sometime next week – though a specific date has not yet proven forthcoming.

Of course, we’ll be keeping out eyes on the support forums and will report back on user feedback once the aforementioned update is available.
