Mhhhh... it seems to me a bit unlikely, honestly. If ICS is going to appear on mobile phones as well, I doubt it will require such a top level hardware... but just wait and see.

Update: it seems that, just like I thought, Google will keep a low profile on hardware requirements:

MOD EDIT: This modification may very well harm your phone. Read this post for more details, read the entire thread, and most importantly, proceed with caution.

Okies guys heres the breakdown on reception, seems that Nexus S 4g's have antenna ports under battery cover, which seem to be ill placed. Your hand is over them all the time lol. One labeled G this is gps , w1 and w2 on volume side are for wifi and 4g, and r1 is 3g. Do these mods at your own risk, i take no responsibility for damages incurred. Take bread ties that is in your kitchen drawer strip back 1/8th to bare metal, ensure that it is straight before inserting it by the center of r1, use tape to hold in place. This gave me from a no bars 3g to solid 3bars. good luck, tell me if it works for you enjoy !!! :D

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscarthegrouch:
This is just my opinion. Nobody has to believe me. I am not an electronic engineer, but I do hold a radio license that is recognized by the FCC. This mod may very well work, but I think it could do more harm than good. I don't know for sure but these ports could be test points for factory tuning and repair. Adding a random or guessed length of wire to it "could" help the radio. There is also a good chance that you could fry the RF output final transistors in the phone. If the radio was strictly receiving through that port then maybe it wouldn't hurt the phone. If the phone transmits at the same frequency, this random length wire could throw the output section of the phone out of tuning. This wouldn't change anything except the input impedance from the output finals and the internal antenna. This circuit was designed to work together with a specified impedance, that we don't know the value of, and putting a better antenna on it from just guessing how long it needs to be at the frequency the phone is TX/rx is a risky thing. We don't know what the impedance of the antenna is supposed to be nor do we have the proper tools to measure antenna impedance between the transmitter and antenna to get the lowest standing wave ratio for the desired frequency. Also, what I have learned in testing antennas in a much lower frequency range than this phone is that low swr doesn't mean that the antenna will perform well. As they say in a hobby I have participated in is that you can make a wet noodle resonate but that doesn't mean you're going to "get out" with it. I'm already explaining things in a way that would go over the heads of many a lay person if they weren't into and studied in the hobby of amateur radio.

I'm not saying I know better or am better than anyone here. To make a long story short, if you don't have the right equipment, knowledge, and skill to do stuff like the mod is about, then I would HIGHLY suggest you not trying it. There is a very good chance that you could burn up the RF output transistors in the phone and then essentially you would turn the phone into a receive only radio like your FM radio. Putting a random (guessed) length wire on a receiver isn't going to hurt the electronics inside it, it will just make it receive better or worse. With a transceiver (a radio that can transmit and receive), this experiment has the possibility of burning out components inside the phone on the transmit side. I've blabbed enough. This is only my opinion on this, that's all...

This phones radio just sucks period! From what a rep at sprint told me... its not sprints data its the radio antenna itself poorly made.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus S1:
okies this is an update to whether phone has blown up or wot . lol no it hasnt not gone to waste and yes mr radio expert Ocsar :) is correct in knowing bout rf and antenna length this is a test port to plug in antenna or equipment at a shop and test for tuning its is a direct connect to the transmitter/reciever, if u open ur phone u will see that the port actually goes down under the main board to the build in wire that is on pcb.The wire was cut in progression to get best reception, data rate improved slightly will have s/s of data after more testing

I dont see how this would even break your 3g..and if it did oh well i guess it would be worth trying if you are chicken to just do the PRL hack..but seriously i dont see how it would break your radio unless you physically damaged it...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
that is how, physically damaging it. The radio is very sensitive and can easily be damaged, you have to be careful with the antenna.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyheli:
This is a test port for testing the signals of the phone. When you insert or touch the center of the port, you are causing the output transistor to max out and burn out. Only a device that is " Base loaded " can be touching that port. The output RF transisitor is looking for a certain length antenna. Anything considerably less or more will burn it out.

You guys might have better luck using one of those " sticker " antenna booster for the phone and place it on the cover near the port.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervman1:
As previously stated there many factors in antenna design and everything is exact. Adding a random length of wire will in the very least add unwanted reactance and could possibly destroy the transistor. I would also think a patch antenna would be better but without being able to properly simulate your changes I would not touch those ports.

Well...guess what I just got in the mail. My replacement Nexus S 4G. I mentioned several pages back that I tried this mod and then removed it because I didnt see much of a benefit. Well what I didnt realize at the time was that upon removing the twist tie my signal dropped to almost zero. The phone was almost constantly "searching for service" except in areas with the best reception where I would pull 1 bar at times and 0 bars at other times. I rebooted, reflashed, hard wiped, returned to stock, re-rooted, reflashed the radios, flashed 2 different roms (you get the idea) but I could barely get any signal. I finally called Sprint tech support and they tried doing everything on their end, but it was still a no go. Finally they overnighted me a new(but refurbished) unit. Luckily, there is no physical damage (or rather physical appearance) so the unit was replaced at no cost. Be warned, while this may not happen to everyone that tries this mod, there is a chance.

[HTC Sensation] yaddamean:
Walking into T-mo store, I was thinking the the Sensation is $199 with two year contract. Well it was $249 after mail in rebate. So I would have to pay $299 plus tax... Is that what they really are at every T-mo store? They were also telling me this deal where I pay $249 plus tax but I pay $10 a month for the phone for 20 months? That sounded ridiculous honestly. :eek:

That was just too much for me so I hit up my local costco and they have it for $129 after $50 mail in rebate. :D

They also give you a free bluetooth earpiece, leather case, and car charger on any new phone. Costco is the ****tt!!! BTW, their MT4Gs are 29.99. damn costco gots the hookup!!!
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
The $10 a month thing comes with a lower service plan cost.

Target has the phone for $99
[HTC Sensation] yaddamean:
There pricing is very similar to Costco. Is there a mail in rebate for that as well? If so, with no tax, Sams Club is offering one hell of deal as well!

I paid $179 + tax. $219.86 out the door. No activation fee and a $50 mail in rebate. I hate rebates but whatever, I'll take it. They also give you free accessories. bluetooth, car charger, and leather case. In the end, I've learned to never walk to into a T-mo store ever again. $299 - $50 rebate... JEEEZZZ
[HTC Sensation] yaddamean:
Are serious!!!!? :(

thats target online and you have to wait, costco they give you back your activation fee on your first bill. also you have a 90 return policy at costco... sams sucks, target sucks. if you want to buy a cell phone go to costco first. and the mytouch in my area is actually free
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
Sadly no mail in rebate. But still a heck of a deal.

Don't know if still is the same price but I got my sensation for $160, that includes tax, at walmart

Would you need a new 2 year contract with this deal they offer at costco or sams or can you get this deal if you already in a two year contract?? For the MT4G :-)
[HTC Sensation] eleven26:
One benefit of costco is that you can return your phone within 90 days and get a full refund or use it as a credit for another phone.

I am holding on to the sensation until the galaxy S II comes out. If I dont like the galaxy SII i can always go back to the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Teslarage:
Oh how the times have changed.

I paid 149.99 for mine at Virgin Mobile Canada, no contract, phone on tab.
[HTC Sensation] nduran87:
costco has a different phone on special each week. last week here the costco had the mytouch for free the galaxy 4g for 30. if you just wait to see when the phone goes on special you get a hell of a deal and if you get it then next week your phone goes lower you can ask for the price difference back with in the first 30 days. the Only down fall is they have different pricing for new contracts and upgrades.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
I wasn't fully upgrade eligible, so my only reasonable choice was to go through T-Mobile. My.tmobile.com and the T-Mobile retail location bother wanted $329 before rebate + tax + upgrade fee. It would have cost like $375 up front and I'd get $50 back in the mail. I called customer loyalty and they gave it to me for $199 + tax, no rebate necessary and waived the upgrade fee and shipping cost. Total I paid $136 up front and the other $100 split over my next 3 months bills. In all I saved about $150 by calling. I didn't have to complain or threaten to cancel or anything like that.
[HTC Sensation] teiknarfy89:
My sister and brother inlaw both got theirs at target for $99 actually my brother inlaw traded his rooted hd2 in got a 105 back for it so he pretty much walked out with a free sensation.. in total they paid about 100 something for both phones.. I was shocked.. no rebates no nothing just a family 2 year contract

:)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
thanks for the heads up on target,, confirmed im picking one up tomorro in the store for 99....no extra fees just the "upgrade" fee (which i will try to get tmo to waive bc its ridiculous)... they also have a trade in option... I have an old blackberry 8900 curve they are going to give me $40 for.. In all, I will walk out with a new sensation for $60 !!!! crazy deal

by the way, the deal is only thru the 30th
[HTC Sensation] escapism2to1:
Bought mine from Costco too for all the same reasons mentioned in this post....great price ($249 + $30 tax = $279 - $50 mail-in rebate for a grand total of $229), free accessories and 90 day return policy. Sweet! Right? Well, I went to Walmart a few weeks later and saw the phone advertised for $149 w/ the same 2-year contract renewal...and NO mail-in rebate needed to get this price. Seeing how I don't use the free bluetooth or leather case that Costco packaged w/ the phone, I would have much preferred to walk out of Walmart w/ the phone for $80 less. (boo-hoo) Oh well, you live and learn to shop around 1st.
[HTC Sensation] yaddamean:
$249+ 30 tax is a bit high for Costco... You must have bought yours right when it came out?
