Google To Fix Nexus One After Patchy 3G Performance

Google’s Nexus One looks as if it is hurrying a patch for it’s flaky 3G connectivity, much in the same way as Apple was forced to do when it introduced the iPhone 3G.

Thanks to some particularly sharp characters at Cnet’s Deep Tech, we gather that word of an update first arose in a Nexus One help forum in which an apologetic Google representative named Ivar wrote that, yes, Mountain View is aware of the 3G problems and that help is on the way:

“Our engineers have uncovered specific cases for which a software fix should improve connectivity to 3G for some users,” he wrote. “We are testing this fix now, initial results are positive, and if everything progresses as planned, we will provide an over-the-air software update to your phone in the next week or so.”

Google’s 3G troubles echo those of Apple’s iPhone 3G, which also had a tough time from the offset when it came to 3G connectivity.

The iPhone 3G’s OS had to be patched up twice before the problems abated – but but only after Apple was threatened with a class-action lawsuit due to its poor initial performance.
