Pattern emerges for Nexus One 3G problems, points to baseband firmware
In an effort to minimize the apparent scope of the problem faced by at least a sizable plurality of Nexus One customers this week, Google has issued a statement to the press. It essentially acknowledges what we've all seen with our eyes, that users are experiencing widespread 3G connectivity issues, but it offers no information as to what measures are being taken to address those concerns.
"We are aware of the issues that have affected a small number of users, and are working quickly to fix any problems," reads the statement from Google to Betanews this afternoon. "We hope to have more information soon. When we do, we will post it to the user forum."
It looks like my initial suspicions have been confirmed. There is a radio ROM problem with some, not all, of the N1's that Google sold. If this is TRULY the case, a radio ROM upgrade should fix the problem, once the differences between them have been identified and resolved.
