Nexus S 4G

It appears Engadget has unofficially confirmed that the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G will finally be receiving their belated Android 4.0 update “in the next few weeks.” But just how many weeks, exactly? Well, I guess that’s the million dollar question now, isn’t it? Yes, we know. Just about anyone could make this same [...]

Those looking for some Ice Cream Sandwich love on their Nexus S 4G should listen up. A new build of Android 4.0 – 4.0.4, to be exact – has leaked online for rooted users. The build for this particular device and release is IMM26. It appears that the build is quite stable but it’s not [...]

Sprint is getting in on the Black Friday action with a few deals to digest post-Thanksgiving. A number of their top smartphones and tablets will see significant price cuts to get buyers in the holiday spirit, including the Nexus S 4G free of charge. Sprint is sweetening the pot by throwing in $25 of Google [...]

If you signed up to get more information about Google Wallet back when Google first announced, check your inboxes. Emails are going out from Google to those customers interested in that information.

Beginning at 9AM today, owners of Sprint’s Nexus S 4G will get the first crack at the latest update to the Swype keyboard for Android devices.

Sprint’s Android 2.3.5 update is rolling out to the Nexus S 4G now, much to the delight of those seeking better 4G connectivity. For those that have been enjoying free tethering with the Nexus S 4G, it’s a different story. The GRJ90 update effectively removes the ability to share your internet connection from the handset [...]

The delayed Nexus S 4G update we first heard would be launching back on July 11th is once again on track to hit handsets, and as suspected the firmware will take the phone’s platform version up to Android 2.3.5. The update doesn’t include anything near as exciting as the built-in video chat functionality found in [...]

As Sprint Nexus 4G owners are probably well aware, the GRJ90 update scheduled for yesterday never went out. For one reason or another the system update comprised of mostly bug fixes (and possibly bumping the Android version up to 2.3.5) was deemed not ready for prime time. A new date has not been set for [...]

Rumor has it the Nexus S 4G will be receiving an update to build number GRJ90 on July 11th, and if the above image is any indication it could be one of the first instances of Android 2.3.5 finding its way to smartphones. The build number pictured is a bit outdated at GRJ85, but according [...]

Skype 2.0 launched with video calling support on only a handful of Android devices, the Nexus S being one of them. The WiMAX-ified Nexus S 4G didn’t get the same treatment. That discrepency was quickly resolved, as support for video chat on the 4G Google phone has been slipped into Skype’s Android application. Hopefully it’s [...]

Amazon has dropped the price of Sprint’s Nexus S 4G, bringing the Google Experience handset down to a wallet-friendly $49.99 when purchased on a new two-year contract. For existing customers wishing to upgrade, the handset will still only set you back a reasonable $99.99. This is a great opportunity to get your hands on the [...]

The CyanogenMod family of devices is continuing to grow, with this week seeing official support of its first Samsung device, AT&T’s Captivate. But that wasn’t the only Sammy phone to gain the privilege. Also added to the ranks were the Samsung Galaxy S, Vibrant, and Nexus S 4G. ROMs for these phones haven’t reached official [...]

Yesterday, we were notified of some issues with the Nexus S 4G’s data radios. Many users at Sprint’s support forums reported a lack of data connectivity and very weak or slow signals. Sprint acknowledged that an anomaly was indeed going on and that they’d be looking into the issue. But just how bad is this [...]

A new device, another boatload of problems storming in. This time, the Nexus S 4G is giving users signal trouble. Users report that they sometimes can not get any type of signal – be it 4G, 3G, or 1xTT – in certain instances while other Sprint phones are getting strong signals in those same areas. [...]

  Just 5 days after Sprint put the Nexus S 4G on sale, Wirefly has discounted the price – you can get it from them for $99.99 after a new two-year contract. Existing customers can get upgraded to it for $150. Sprint debuted the phone for $200 on a two-year contract. The Nexus S 4G [...]

The Nexus S 4G has only been officially on the streets for a day, but already Sprint and Google are pumping out an update for the handset.

As of yesterday the Nexus S 4G is available through Sprint for the price of $199.99 on a two-year contact. The handset is made by Samsung and mirrors the specs of the original Nexus S. The only difference, as is obvious from the name, is the 4G WiMAX radio dropped in for boosted data speeds. [...]

We saw earlier that a few Sprint locations were more than willing to part ways with the new Nexus S 4G a few days ahead of schedule, but now we have the above video showing the catch in all its glory. Android Forums members wallstreet777 gives us a quick look at the handset and confirms [...]

A guy by the name of Saad (@MAFiA303 on Twitter) who apparently “works with Samsung,” made a video call today using the Gtalk app on Android 2.3.4 with his Nexus S. He was generous enough to share his experience on Twitter and noted that “impressive video quality” as well as I/O 2011 which leads us [...]

Although Best Buy got everyone’s hopes up for a Nexus S 4G launch last week, it appears we’re as close to its launch as we’re going to be. The device has just hit the FCC which gives Samsung, Google, Best Buy, and whoever else is involved the go-ahead to sell this thing to consumers. As [...]
