You might have been in good Vodafone coverage areas but those same areas offer marginal KPM coverage. In that case, the phone could be constantly seeking the 3G signal and all of that bouncing / searching will hurt the battery noticeably.

Of course, I’m assuming that the two carriers don’t share network coverage, but I could be wrong – do they both have independent networks?

I used to have a Vodafone SIM card in there and it works great with 3g continuously and low power consumption. Then I changed my SIM card to KPN (incumbent telecom provider) and it switches between G and 3G and battery life goes down the drain.

Does this have anything to do with the telecom provider?

However, there is a glitch for anyone on a TMobile Family Plan. Nexus One only will let you upgrade a line if it is an “individual plan”. That being said, if you try to call Tmobile and pull a line out to individualize it, that negates your eligibility, because then you start a “new 2 yr.” contract, thus still making your phone line not eligible for the Nexus One through Google. After calling both Tmobile and Google customer care (18888-216-4736), I was disappointed to hear the only way around this “family plan” issue is to buy the NEXUS at full price! I don’t want the phone enough to pay almost $600 for it. So no thanks.

Bucks it would be perfect but no after the upgrade my 3g comes n goes I hate it, I really hope they fix this….by the way I live in Houston good coverage area so is not T-Mobile.

There is also an ongoing discussion on the Google support forum.

Btw, none of the suggested workarounds are working. Forcing the phone into WCDMA only mode will cause a total network loss if 3G isn’t available.

All modern electronic devices of all types seem to have what I call the Microsoft disease: exit the application/computer/room/house/country/etc. and log back it and voila! it works.

And i’ve never gotten speeds over 6Mbp/s with any of my phones, including the 3GS.

See the spec sheet: http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html

On your WiFi, you’ll be limited by your cable/dsl connection anyways…unless you have very fast broadband (over 54Mbp/s).

Is this 802.11n? I have never gotten anywhere close to these speeds with any Nokia or iPHONE.
