Nexus One OTA “in the next week or so”
By Taylor Wimberly on Jan 26
Nexus One owners should expect an over the air update soon that is set to address some 3G issues and possible other fixes. I have had absolutely no 3G problems with my Nexus One, but a limited number of users have reported problems which has led to a flair up on Google and T-Mobile support forums.
Google is taking the issue very serious and Eric Tseng revealed on the Engadget Show that Google, HTC, and T-Mobile were working together to solve the problem by sending engineers to visit customers who complained. It appears Google has already developed a fix and is testing it now.
From the Google Help forums:
I know we have quite a few readers with Nexus Ones, so please sound off if you have experienced any 3G connection issues with your phone.

Google testing 3G fix for Nexus One
Posted on Monday, Jan 25, 2010 by Phil Nickinson
Help may be on the way for those of you with the Google Nexus One who have been experiencing 3G issues on T-Mobile. Google says a software fix is in the works, though obviously it won't help much if you're on the edge of T-Mo's fledgling 3G service or outside of coverage altogether. Says Google:
Our engineers have uncovered specific cases for which a software fix should improve connectivity to 3G for some users. 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. It may be, however, that users are experiencing problems as a result of being on the edge or outside of 3G coverage, which a product fix cannot address.
So look for a fix coming soon. Or you can just force your phone into 3G all the time, or try jkontherun's little trick, too. [Google via TMoNews]
