Hello,

in our german community we discuss this problem, too. The Problem isn't the NFC antenna, it's the backcover! Some user tried with another cover from ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/250846706756?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 and this seems to work better!

Here is a link to the original thread (in german!) http://www.android-hilfe.de/nexus-s-forum/98979-probleme-mit-gps-fix-ab-2-3-4-a-19.html#post2080524

Best regards

[Nexus S General] uberberben:
Yup, that exactly what i considered. It's really funny, because original battery cover is making GPS works like s**t.

If that cover form ebay is really working i might consider buying it, i'll try to read original thread, thanks.

Have you tried that cover? My German isn't that great and neither is google translate. But from what i read this is really working, but i don't know how well.
[Nexus S General] praveenmarkandu:
im guessing NFC wont work without the stock battery cover
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
when did this GPS problem started?

it must be new...
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it will not work without the original back cover

that is the antennae
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Hehe. Put your NFC antenna back on. Google wallet is awesome.
[Nexus S General] chaoszcat:
Hey guys

I have my Nexus S (Blandroid + Trinity T144) tested just now, and now I only realize the GPS unit is on the right side of the phone.

Take off your cover, you should see a black, duct-tape like module pasted on almost 3/4 of the right side of Nexus S (the side where power button is located). That should be the GPS unit.

Tested with cover on, landscape with right side of the phone pointed upwards, I gained a score of 40~41 in one or two of the satellite in my view (GPS Test by Chartcross Ltd). When I test it with cover off, I gained a score of 45~47 in a few of the satellite.

Conclusion is, if you need a better GPS signal, you will need to hold it landscape with camera pointing to the left. Portrait mode will not works too well I guess. I wonder how Apple products can gain locks near instantly.
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
that's what i always do when i want to use GPS for navigation, pull off the battery cover.

it's almost impossible to get a fix with the battery cover on.

[Motorola Droid 3] qudwis:
i'm thinking of buying the 1950mAh extended battery from ebay,

but some don't come with the extended battery door.

so the questions are do i need an extended battery door for the item or

will the regular battery door (1500mAh) be compatible with?

and if i need an extended door, where can i get it cheaper?
[Motorola Droid 3] ubermetroid:
I got my from verizon for ~20$. It fits with the stock cover (very tight), but I live in a hot area and have to deal with over heating so I put the enlarged cover on.

Works in media stand and car stand with large battery cover.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
You are in the US, so get it from amazon. 29$ is a fair price for an absolutely original battery with cover.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Yeah, don't go generic with batteries, it'll only bring disappointment. Also, as previously stated, if you live anywhere that it gets remotely warm, I would get tht cover with it; I'm in Hawaii, so lord knows my Droid will need all the heat-relief and ventilation it can get.
[Motorola Droid 3] alex0409:
maybe you can try a another brand battery fits Droid 3,

Find this from Amazon, 1800mAh, don't need a extended battery back door.just got mine, feel like get 20% or more extra battery life.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
OK. I've looked around and didn't find a thread on this (which if you know of one, please let me know.) I just got Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Captivate today using Odin 1 click. (Very lovely and easy to use, BTW). It's running great and my GPS seems to work now too. Something always has to go wrong tho. I'm installing all my apps from the market and suddenly it's telling me "Error downloading 'Some App'. There is insufficient space on the device." I've got TONS of space. I think I've used about 156MB and it says 1.7GB free on system storage. Any idea what the issue is and how it can be fixed?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj_in_seattle:
I seemed to have figured out my own problem. Lol. It was a market issue in this case. I uninstalled the updates and then market was able to install all the apps and then some. As per your line mrhaley, I did one at a time and all seems to be well. Market has since updated itself again and I have had no problems. :D

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bandit_Kaine:
You could edit the build.prop or download an app from the Market, called "LCD Density Changer". Smaller density the smaller everything gets on the screen, the higher the density the bigger, stock DPI is 240.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bignate78:
Also an app called nitrality. You can change dpi and its stays even after reboot, also you get secret dial codes like angry GPS(test GPS), and more stuff!!

[EVO 4G General] sanreb68:
Reviewed some posts and other sources and haven't found a lot on this . . .

In short, Pandora, IHeartRadio, etc., stream great in GB ROMs for me. Conversely, if I pull down a public stream from radioreference.net or any other source that carries police, fire, or rail frequency scanner streams, the connection times are 1-2 minutes, sometimes more in GB. It's like it waits on a timeout or something. Oddly enough, Froyo of any kind never did this, and I reflashed MikFroyo just to check. It worked great. I've seen a few off-handed comments about resetting proxies, but nothing very useful or anything that worked. My stream app is Scanner Radio.

Ideas? Thanks to all.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenohki88:
So I'm in San Francisco finally getting to user LTE for first time and when I make a call it sounds Hella ****ed anyone know about to call verizon and my bad if anyone else posted this before I didn't look
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenohki88:
Disregard all good now don't know what was up
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
When I'm on a call with 4G LTE enabled, people have told me numerous times they have a hard time hearing me. I hear them fine, but they say I sound muffled. When I disable the 4G they say I sound much louder and clearer. I'm on my 2nd Bionic because of this (3rd one on the way).

Now I leave 4G disabled unless I need to go online. Royal PITA. Has anyone else noticed anything like that?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenohki88:
Well alright then! Ok I guess I have to start asking for a new one now cause I don't have 4g in my sts I never knew about this issue but I noticed this while using 4g over the weekend damn...I wonder if I can complain enough where I can get the prime....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I wonder if we can get more people to test this out. It's a really simple test if folks wouldn't mind trying it out. This test requires you to be in a 4G coverage area.

1) With 4G LTE enabled, call your home or work phone and leave yourself a message...maybe about 20seconds long. If you can't think of enough content to fill up 20seconds, simply read this post aloud as your message.

2) Go to menu, settings, wireless & network settings, mobile networks, network mode, select CDMA only. Again call your home or work phone and leave yourself a message.

3) Check your voicemail and see if you can hear a noticeable difference between the volume and the clarity of the 2 calls.

4) Please post results back in the thread - even if you don't notice a difference. Also it would be preferable to tell us what city you're located in when performing the test.

5) If you do hear that your 4G call sounds less than desirable, please contact Vz and/or Motorola to report the issue.

Vz Wireless: *611

Motorola: 1-800-734-5870

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenohki88:
So I was having some pastures with my contacts where I couldn't add a new contact they had me hard reset my cell ****ing pain in add trying to get everything like it was while on the phone I complained about the issue with call quality over LTE tech said LTE wouldn't effect call quality because its a data connection that had nothing to do with making calls...I kept going on to no avail so I guess I'll ***** about it some more when I go back to the City
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
Well it's true that the 4G connection is only used for data...but that doesn't rule out the possibility that it can cause interference when you're on a call. From my home in Gainesville FL, every call I make with 4G enabled sounds bad to the person I'm calling. When I disable 4G and call back things sound great. FWIW I'm in the office today, located in Tampa FL, and my wife said I sounded fine with 4G enabled. So perhaps it's a geographic issue. Hopefully some other folks will chime in with their experience.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenohki88:
Yea let's see how it goes I really like my bionic and I'm thinking if getting the dock so I plug it in and use it in the field and the new one looking like its going to be light weight with new keyboard but if and when I get 4G and this continues I might just bail on bionic if the issue isn't fixed...not bothering me now cause I don't have 4G coverage but let's see how it goes when I do get coverage

[LG Optimus 3D] Motawa88:
Hey Guys.

Im gonna buy a Optimus 3D and my girlfriend a Galaxy S2.

My question is. Can i play (lets say dungeon hunter 2) in 3D while my girlfriend plays the normal HD Version(together in multiplyer) on her S2?

Or do i have to download the HD version?

Or can she install the 3D version(of course without using 3D)

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Since its GameLoft, sorry to say, you need to get the Optimus3D version for your Optimus3D and she'll have to get the GalaxyS2 version for her GalaxyS2.

You can get the HD or 3D version, won't matter. I believe the converter can convert the HD to 3D, but don't hold me to that because I haven't tried it.

Anyway, even if you bought the 3D version, it wouldn't work if you install it onto the S2.

Its just some stuff Gameloft does to "ensure" compatibility.
[LG Optimus 3D] Motawa88:
So, we cannot play together?

Im wondering how many people are there to play online with? If there are different verions for different mobiles?
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
If its a mmo then you two can play together without any problems. The different versions shouldn't affect any of that.

I was only saying that you two can't install the same version on two different devices.
[LG Optimus 3D] Motawa88:
That really sucks. I dont think that there is a same version of any game for the S2 and the 3D(without 3D)
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
What I meant is, if its an mmo then that usually means the game is played on their servers. If that's the case, then you and your gf can play together without any problems. Differnet versions of the game still leads to the same game on that server.

If you are playing a one player game meant to be played on the phone only, then its impossible to play with her together. Closest thing is to sit next to her and play at the same time and... pretend you're going through everything together.

I don't know what game you two have in mind since I don't touch Gameloft games, but you can do a quick google to see if multiplayer is available for that game.
[LG Optimus 3D] Motawa88:
Im talking about dungeon hunter 2. asphalt 6 and so on and so on. There are many wifi/bt games from gameloft.
[LG Optimus 3D] Benz-Driver:
You already got an answer to this @ www.android-hilfe.de. Why do you ask here again? The answer is clear. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 3D] smackdownn:
you can play asphalt 6 on both devices but you have to buy them seperately thats because both use different CPU and GPU so both phones have different apk's of the game.
[LG Optimus 3D] Motawa88:
Its not about running both devices. I want to play multiplayer with my GF. As many peope say, you have to have the same version to play together.

So, lets say version 1.0 of Dungeon Hunter 2 supports the Galaxy S2 and the version 1.2 Supports the Optimus 3D. That means we cannot play together?
[LG Optimus 3D] sbrownla:
Havent tried but as long as the versions are the same I dont see why not. By versions I dont mean 3D and HD. I mean the game in general.

So the question is, has anyone played and noticed other players in multiplayer who dont have the 3D version?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madballs:
Did you do "fastboot oem unlock"? You have S-OFF but does not mean your bootloader is unlocked. If you don't like the lock on your bootscreen, you can do "fastboot oem lock" to lock up the bootloader after you have flashed your recovery. This is possible when you have S-OFF.
