Canadian Nexus S Owners OTA - Nexus S General

As a fellow Canadian nexus s owner I have been manually updating my nexus s via the downloadable zip files here and there.
But I'm curious has anyone ever received a over the air update instead of manually downloading a zip file from forums like xda?

You mean... wait...?
Just the initial OTA after getting the phone, manually upgraded to 2.3.2.

I mean all the ones release so far

Not to go off topic but....
How are you guys liking the phone so far? I'm assuming you're on Wind or Mobilicity. Are the data speeds good?

Im on Wind and the service is terrible at times.

i've got no complains
and the only signal issue i have, might be a software bug
as other people are having it in other countries as well, so i doubt it's Wind's fault

I have received all updates OTA

how's the coverage using MobilityCity + Nexus S?

My Nexus S was 2.3.1 from manifacturer.
I received the 2.3.2 OTA from Italy (UK device).

For rthe past 3 weeks I've been using mobi and wind, wind has been a massive fail, calls go to VM with full signal, texts come repeated sometimes 3 of the same text, and data is an absolute joke for anything but browsing, hockey buzzer sounds before outgoing calls, half duplex call audio. And its been getting worse not better. They appear either in denial of the problems or unable to correct them. Mobilicity has been saving grace for me, flawless service everywhere I need it, even have service in my underground parking. No comparison at all Mobilicity > Wind.
I should add, I'm in Toronto

working great with Mobilicity here in Ottawa as well!
If anyone wants a no I line. Please let me know. I am a dealer for them.

I have received all my updates OTA as well pretty much as soon as they're released so far!
As for the service - I'm with WIND and have the usual probs..I live in the basement and get exremely poor reception even thou I'm in a WIND home zone with a tower right around the corner!! I also get that buzzer sound on outgoing calls - Was thinking of trying Mobi, but now not so sure if WIND gets LTE

If Wind is even allowed to operate after the their licence is now in jeopardy.

Guys,
Seems like Tmobile's advertised 4G network is really fast and Samsung hardware has proven better than the competition:

That is what I'm going to find out when it comes out. I've heard rumors that all of 4G's hardware is all similar to the Vibe...

From what I gather, thats all what's needed, just that modem... Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

This hardly matters given T-mobile's poor 3G coverage compared to practically every competing major carrier in the US.
It's sort of like the Evo/Epic 4G. Yea, 4G was nice but it's not like I'll have it anytime soon. I'm waiting for Verizon and/or AT&T to launch LTE, or maybe go back to AT&T and get an HSPA+ device. All I need is about 1.5 mbps consistent download speeds and I'm more than happy, TBQH. It's just a phone.
They should make their coverrage better.

Yawn.
Lookie who's back to threadcrapping.
OK I get the want for 4g. I dont see the point in buying a phone with close to the same specs when we have such decent phones around the corner.
Galaxy s 4g is not worth the upgrade for a 2-3 seconds faster page loads. I will hold onto my Vibrant and my soon to be HD2 until the tegra 3 arrives next year.

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

I contact Sprint customer service and they told me that there is a temporary outage since 8/22/11 and technicians are working on it. I asked if I would get reimburse for the time without service and the CSR told that I would get reimburse once the service is back and running again.

Wow. Yet another d-bag move from sprint/HTC

After installing the latest OTA, (I'm 100% stock no root, don't hate,) i had to go back into the ##3282# menu and zero out the proxy values. No problem, I've been used to having to redo this after updates/rom flashes ever since my EvoOG. However, this time around, as soon as i did the mod, my Youtube videos stopped loading! I would IMMEDIATELY get a server error and tap to retry message. I went and restored the stock proxy values, and sure enough, the videos now work like a charm every time. Thanks Sprint/HTC, if you spent as much time getting us Jellybean as you do making our lives difficult, maybe your inboxes wouldnt be flooded with complaints =] i wish you and your devs uncontrollable diarrhea while stuck in traffic tonight.

To improve 3g speeds with streaming and netflix. And because the last update did more harm than good. Again, i have not gotten into rooting my phone yet, I'd rather wait it out until there is a stable set-in-stone solution without HTC finiding out about it. (believe me, its killing me too, i had my evoOG decked out all nasty.... One day my lte will follow suit)

Poor Wifi on N4?

Quick question to the pro's
Whilst I haven't put a SIM card in my lovely new N4 yet (awaiting mico SIM from Vodafone) I thought I would set it up over WiFi.
I can connect to my router, home network and home server fine, but it is just sooooo slow and continually timesout. I have changed the settings, frequencies etc, restored router to factory settings and back to saved profile, but nothing seems to help.
Play store spits me out, and I have reset the N4 to factory 3 times now.
I will try on other Wifi networks over the weekend, and on mobile data when SIM card arrives, but was just wondering if I am doing something obvious wrong or it other have have similar experiences?
thanks
edit.......I did manage to do a system update, and now on 4.2.1
In my experience it is really fast. I get 30mbps down, as fast as I get on my desktop.

My N4 connects nicely to the router as follows from the settings
Status - Connected
Signal Strength - Excellent
Link Speed - 72Mbps
Thinking (hoping) it the talktalk router, as since I updated the firmware I have had other problems...........need to test elsewhere I think first!
Thanks
wifi issue is for sure
Look at other posts you will find many people are having wifi issues. I don't think you did anything wrong, it is just the problem of nexus 4.
Let's wish google would fix it soon.

Thanks, did find a limited number of similar issues listed when I did a basic google search, but hoping it was something else.
SGS2 in one hand works lovely, N4 in the other not!
As I didn't manage to test test it before the update to 4.2.1 I don't know if this release is the issue!

Something definitely wrong. My coworker and I are on the same WiFi and his signal is 100 times faster. I get 1000+ ms ping and .04 down and he gets 80ms ping and 3 down.

Seems like the WiFi problem is either hit or miss most people including myself have a perfectly stable WiFi while some people have terrible or not working WiFi at all. Not sure what's behind this buy hope you can get it fixed.

This issue was starting to annoy my experience with the N4 tbh
I just changed my router back to my old one to test, and its now working perfectly!!!! Others have reported issues with D-Link routers, of which the one I was using was a Talktalk supplied D-Link.
Lightening quick now........

I looked at Sammobile for an unupdate for N910T and I did not see anything - the only thing listed is the Original Stock Tar for this phone - maybe they haven't updated yet?
Maybe just for octa core version?

Well there is one, but it's for the general international version. As history has taught us these devices get updates the first. T-mobile has to decide if they will implement this update (which they normally will) but this usually takes weeks (or months).
