Google Nexus One 3G To Remain Unfixed

Despite persistant complaints by end users who are experiencing poor 3G performance with the Nexus One Android phone, Google has ceased to investigate the matter. No fix.When the Nexus One launched back in January, a number of users reported poor 3G performance. The device was initially available to T-Mobile subscribers. T-Mobile uses the 1700MHz band for its 3G. The Nexus One was later released with support for AT&T's 3G network (850/1900MHz). There haven't been any reports of problems with that version. Google also has announced a CDMA version of the Nexus One, and both Sprint and Verizon have said it will work on their networks, though it has yet to go on sale at either carrier.

Google and HTC did work on a fix for the problem, and offered a minor software update that was supposed to help. Even after the update, the problem remained for some users. Though customers still have poor 3G performance, Google isn't going to do anything more the help.

A Google spokesperson said in the Nexus One support forums:

Yes, you read that correctly, Google just suggested that you move somewhere else to see if the reception improves. Yeah, thanks a lot for the help. What kind of suggestion is that?

If you were an early adopter of the Nexus One, it looks like your 3G is going to remain as-is. There will surely be more Android handsets arriving in the next few months that will make the Nexus One obsolete anyway...
