[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashad1:
1. There is not a phone in the world with an actual 4G radio, since the technology doesn't exist yet. Rebranding 3G (WiMAX, LTE, or HSDPA+) as 4G doesn't make it 4G, and is very misleading.

2. Because a phone is comprised mostly of plastic doesn't make the quality any lower than one that incorporates metal. The Nexus S is a well built phone, it's not going to fall apart.

3. Notification Lights are useless for something that is in your pocket, the majority of the time, when not in use. There are Apps, like NoLED, which take advantage of the AMOLEDS local dimming, by using a small number of pixels to display an icon which acts as a notification.

1. How many of you have scratches on your phone? Have you dropped it? Did the plastic dent at all?

I don't have any scratches, but the back will eventually get a few light scratches just as any uncovered plastic or metallic back would. Especially if the phone is not well taken care of

2. What's up with the screen coating? Some users are claiming that the coating is wearing off and smearing even more than usual.

This problem has been recorded by a handful of users. I personally have not experienced this, just as the overwhelming majority of users have not.

3. How are your capacitive buttons? I've been hearing that some are dim/unresponsive.

This problem has been recorded by a handful of users. I personally have not experienced this, just as the overwhelming majority of users have not.

The buttons are dimmer than those of the Galaxy S line, and they are not visible when unlit. They are only unlit when the screen is off.

4. After a few weeks, how fast is your Nexus S? How often do you experience lag in the web browser or launcher?

This is the snappiest Android phone I've ever used. There is never any lag outside of the browser. I have experienced lag on websites with heavy flash content. That said the Flash can be set to "on demand", in which it will not load until clicked.

5. Are any of you running out of internal memory? 16GB is probably enough for me, especially since my music library is pretty small and I don't use my phone to watch movies. I do play a lot of games though. A single GameLoft game can nearly consume 1GB of memory.

I've got 14 games installed (4 3D games, and a few PSX roms), 40 or so apps, back ups of those apps, music, videos, and I have 10 GB left.

6. Battery life, how is it? I'm on a MT4G and battery life is simply amazing. I never have to worry about how my battery life is. It easily lasts 20+ hours and on standby mode it doesn't use any juice. It also charges VERY quickly.

The first Nexus S I owned had pretty bad battery life, I would struggle to get 10 hours out of it, with light to moderate use. I returned it because I read reports of phenominal battery life on these forums, from most users. I don't know if it was from not letting the battery die when I first got the phone or pulling the battery out a lot without properly shutting down, but the battery on my 2nd Nexus S was great in comparison. I got 14 hours of moderate use on its first full charge. I consistently get 15-17 hours of use out of it with moderate to heavy use. I bought a $7 OEM battery, and a $5 external charger just in case. The battery takes a while for it to fully charge because it is a 1500mah battery, which is large for a stock battery.'

By the way, this thread is in the wrong section, it should be in the "Nexus S Questions" section.
