Google ‘no longer investigating’ fix for Nexus One 3G issues, advises ‘changing your location’

Looking back through our archives, you’ll find plenty of user dissatisfaction with the 3G reception on Google’s Nexus One. Blamed alternately on T-Mobile’s inferior 3G coverage and on software bugs, the problem was expected to be banished with an over-the-air update in early February. The update came, but the trouble also stayed. It might now be time to finally lay those last lingering hopes for rectification to rest, as Google has directly responded to calls for a bigger and better OTA patch by explaining that it’s no longer working on “further engineering improvements.” That’s a pretty conclusive sign that the problem is in the hardware, particularly when you peruse the support thread in question and the reception comparisons users have been doing with other handsets. Well, at least you know for sure now.
