Have you tried with enabled "aggressive wifi to mobile handover" under developer options? I haven't play with it but also noticed around 20-30 seconds delay between switchint to cell data. People says this option should speed up switching to cell data.

I don't use 4G so can't say much. Switching between 2G-3G is normal, within several seconds. I use Tasker to automatically switch between bands so some times it does the action while I'm using the phone - never lost a signal.

Basicaly, from my point of using the phone, I haven't seen significant improvements in LP modems. Except slightly higher idle drain.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CamoGeko:
Oh I see, I guess you're on one of the latest LP modems then?

I've tested the LRX modem and I find the drain to be a little high for my liking, so I've decided to go back to the old KitKat radio again. I'd rather have less drain than higher download speeds.

Don't think there are any change logs anywhere. I've been flashing radios for a while and not seen any change lots.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
Tl;dr: nothing's wrong with the radio in terms of drain.

I'd just like to tell you I'm on stock 5.1, rooted, with servicely installed. And I get a battery drain of this:

View attachment 3346209

Here's what happened:

- sync was (and is) on. Not everything was syncing though. Google+ auto upload syncs when on WiFi and charging. I don't sync Google Drive. Chrome sync, gmail, contacts, app data, calendar sync on.

- I do have Facebook installed, but I use servicely to tame the app itself, and its associated push service. That's it. I have push notifications (from inside the app) turned off, so it doesn't drain unnecessarily.

- I don't have WiFi at work (nope. No WiFi. Nada.) So it was on 4G all the time.

- I don't have Xposed installed. I have location reporting off, location history on, and location services on as well (set to battery saving mode). I have WiFi location scanning enabled as well, but don't have my WiFi alerting me of open networks (and I leave WiFi on).

- ConfigFetchService? Disable this service. It locks on the phone for a variable amount of time. servicely doesn't do much in its app to tame this service, so use any service disabling tool.

- I don't use a custom kernel - the only custom thing I have is the microphone and speaker mod, TWRP, and Viper4Android. None of these affect the phone's functionality whilst idle.

- I have signed into G+, but got rid of the syncs. I'm also signed into Skype (hardly use it...I wonder why I have it), Line (have it "hibernated"), Whatsapp, Tapatalk (hibernated again), and the sort.

For any messaging app, when you receive a LOT of messages frequently, it'll drain your batter cause (1) it keeps your phone awake and (2), in my case, keeps vibrating the phone.

0.4% per hour is the LOWEST I've seen on a phone - the previous time I conducted the test (a day before this), the drain was 0.5% per hour, over a span of two hours or so. I've never seen it so low.

My LTE signal was four bars - it sometimes goes to three, but there is signal interference inside the building (since speeds fluctuate when I'm away from the window). I haven't managed to get this low a drain on 3G, which is my next step.

Also, when I tested, I didn't test it immediately after disconnecting it from the charger - I let the phone drain for 5 or 10 minutes off the charger in idle, then run it again...for some reason, there's a dip in the battery meter when I disconnect the phone from the charger, so to counter that effect, I wait a little while before running the test.

I know this is a long post, and possibly in the wrong thread, but I'd like to tell you that I'm using the LATEST 5.1 lollipop radio - so nothing seems wrong about this.

The only fault I can find (in this radio? Maybe 5.1?) Is that when disconnecting from WiFi before leaving for work (the phone is connected to WiFi all night long), it doesn't connect to 4g automatically - there's an exclamation mark on the screen, and I have to toggle airplane mode to get it working. Which is verrrrry weird.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
I had the same problem, but it went away with the latest radio...At least for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
By latest, if you mean 5.1.1, then unfortunately, that doesn't seem to fix things for me.

Either I'll have to do a full wipe (I did once, and it seemed to work fine the next day, but then started screwing up again) or... Could it be a ROM issue?

Otherwise, no major issue with the radio thus far.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Longpinky:
Would you flash this if you're having issues with service because I'm getting no service on mu
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Yes, was referring to 5.1.1. That sucks that you're having issues... Good luck
[Nexus 5 Android Development] thomstrack:
I can use the radio's kitkat in lollipop 5.1.1? I have a very high battery depletion in iddle and am pretty sure that is related to the phone signal.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kfjunky:
Yes you can, I'm using the KOT48 radio, which is the best for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] thomstrack:
Thanks! :)

What is the difference between the radio img you have here in the post and those that are extracted from the factory image? I could just flash the img extracted the factory image?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] uconnpat:
Is this what I think it is

So I'm running a kk rom with a ktu84p base (Which I love and is my dd). but I still want to try 5.1.1 roms... with your radios could I copy them both to my sd card and flash them as I need them? So backup my kk rom then flash your radio install a 5.1.1 rom and then flash your kk radio and restore my kitkat rom? The Question I'm asking is can I go back and forth

hello guys! recently my friend's Nexus 5 got an official update and when he update he lost his wifi connection, (when wifi is turned on its stuck in TURNING ON WIFI) so he gave it to the LG service center the downgraded it to kitkat but it dint worked, then i asked this question on the HELP thread on N5 and was suggested to flash factory image of 5.1.1 which dint worked though! so now the phone is rooted and is on CHROMA ROM, so i decided to flash the 5.1.1 radio which is -

LMY48B (5.1.1)

M8974A-2.0.50.2.26

AAAAANAZQ20500024

QUALCOMM Incorporated Mar 26 2015

but the build number in the ROM is : LYZ28E

so is it safe to flash the 5.1.1 radio? please do reply, thanks!!

Is there any way to unlock lte 2300 mhz band 40 on my nexus 5? The late service in India works on band 40 and I don't think nexus 5 supports but as per my knowledge soc 800 does support it! Can anybody suggest any solution?

Google it. You can enable some extra bands, not sure if this is one of them though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ToYeD:
I'm rolling back to KitKat 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5 because, although I loved it at first, I've grown a little tired of the material design. Also, I really miss stable Xposed.

But I want to ask. When I do roll back should I keep the radio that came with the 4.4.4 factory image(version 2.0.50.1.16), or should I upgrade the radio to the one in the 5.1.1 stock image(version 2.0.50.2.26)? I don't want to miss out on any possible radio optimizations from the newer version but I'm also not sure if the lollipop radio would be worse on KitKat than the KitKat one.

PS: I have searched, but all it returns is things like instructions on rolling back to KitKat or how to flash a radio which I already know how to do. Nothing about using a lollipop radio on a kitkat rom.

Radio is not ROM-dependent. Use the radio you want.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Unbenannt0412:
Hello,

I was running the LMY48B-radio, then was flashing the KTU84Q-Radio because I've read that the GPS performs better, the .zip file had no .img file to flash, so I went ahead & just flashed the KTU84Q radio via recovery, now I'm experiencing very weak GPS signal and no lock.

I've tried to re-flash the LMY48B radio, didn't fix it.. I think I've maybe done something wrong, so I'm gonna write down the steps of how I flashed it:

1) Bootloader mode

2) flash radio.img via fastboot

3) reboot bootloader

4) boot into recovery

5) flash radio.zip

6) reboot

Is there anything I've forgot? Or didn't do properly?

I'm running Cataclysm ROM/LP 5.1.1 (Stable release, 20th June 2015) and ElementalX kernel.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] coolek33:
Flash via fastboot or in recovery. No need to do it twice.

works so far, will test new rsap implementation during the day.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikejeep:
Try SignalCheck.. http://bluelinepc.com/signalcheck

Also, I'm not so certain the older radios that reflect stronger signal strengths are necessarily "better". I have no particular knowledge of the specific firmware changes, but I do believe it's very possible that the newer radios are just reporting more accurately. It might make you feel better to see -65 dBm instead of -75, but if -75 is the true reading, wouldn't you rather know that?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] slmklc:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
You have to compare with other modems then you'll keep the one with the best signal strengh.

never had any issues about signal with any modem, actually.Used to use KRT16M with 5.1.1 until this day.Trying DP3.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
You won't have any issues but your battery life should be better with a stronger signal ;) That's what I noticed after flashing/testing all modems.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
Up to -90 its a great signal, after that (-90 to -100 and up) is worse signal. Too low isnt good either, best would be around -60 to -80 if i remember correctly.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] dakore:
In my case (and many confirmed) it has less idle battery drain. All LP modems gave me bad idle drain and I wrote aboit this... this is NOT related to wakelocks. Ussualy I got 1-2%/h - that is much higher than I got on KK roms.

After flashing KK radio I got significantly less drain. Today I still have 0,4 %/h on wifi and 0,7 %/h on full LTE signal, always with sync/location on.

Few weeks ago I've tried latest LP modem to see how fast it switches between 3G and LTE... idle drain was (again) higher so I revert back asap. Didn't even complete my tests.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
Why???

This ^^^^
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pringled:
Yeah, I'm also curious about how this works. You'd realy think LG would only bother releasing the new radios if each subseequeent version improved o nthe last in all areas, or at the very least drastically over all. Is this one of those "I got nearly 4h of SoT with FrancoKernel. FK gives nearly 4h of SoT" when buddy neglected to factor in that he also had literally every single thing on his phone with the option to be deactivated turned off kind of things? And if not does the difference borderline negligible?

Pardon my cyniscim., btw. Starting in the area of late June of this year I've had MASSIVE issues with network signal reception inititally and although that cleared up ever so slightly for about one builds worth of time a bit over a week ago now it's back, albeit to a MARIGNALLY lesser extent than it was at it's worse, with the added caveat of my mobile data quite simply NEVER working on almost every ROM I've tried that's released a build in the last 2-4 days or so.

I've always been someone who habitually clean flashes ROMs and whatnot, which ruled that out so I started doing as such even when dirty flashng would suffice, I've done so many factory rests in the last 6 weeks that actually installing stuff on my phone seems entirely pointless, but all of that has made zero difference. I've also flashed every single applicable radio in the vain hope that it might be the magic cure since people seeed to swear by one kind over another... and it made not one iota of difference in ANY noticeable capacity.

What gives? Is persona choice of radio splitting hairs, am I radio-cursed or are LG completely incapable when it comes to this aspect of the Nexus 5?

EDIT: I just reread that and some of it came off as snarky to me. If anyone else reading this and gets that feel from it too, please trust me when I say none of it's meant to convey ANY snark whatsoever. Severe annoyance at my radio blues, and the fact that I've been unable to get ANY help from ANY quadrant of the intetnet, be it customer service or forum, despite the fact that this issue seems to be the very definition of rampant? Snark at google and LG for seemingly semi-ignoring and giving jack-sh...t in the way of substance in what few non-answers they've deigned to throw out there? When the issue has been going on, from what I've gathered form my reading at least, since the very beginning of Lolliop on the Nexus 5 (and 6, 7 and a few other non-Nexus phones as well) Hell. Yes. Snark at radio type enthusiasts? not at all. Y'all are some cool dudes.

EDIT2: As soon as I posted this I realized the lack of logs robs me of all credibility ,and since I have FINALLY found a ROM I love that doesn;t turn my phone into a PDA I'm not really in the position to attach any n terthought. Now I just look like a ****.

EDIT 3: I also do sincerely wan to know if you guys find a major difference between radios from your personal experiences, and if so if anyone knows why LG or google or whoever bothers updating them at all when such big sacrifices are made and some by all accounts are an outright step back.

[MENTION=3276129]Phazmos[/MENTION]

I'm on Rogers in Canada, but from what I've read in tons of threads and articles around the internet (I don't know why I felt it necessary to qualify that these threads are situtated online. I highly doubt you would have otherwise assumed I subscribed to and found them in Leaseweb or Webmaker Quarterly) is that the problem is liekly carrier specific because Sprint, Rogers Qantas and a number of others seemed to be reoccurring names/ a lot of people's replacement phones left them high and dry as well. Also I read it was carrier specific. Why do you ask?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jcsww:
As a former Rogers customer if over 15 years. I would blame their degrading network over the device. I have never used Sprint personally but the friends I have that swear by them, only live in the greater LA area.

For any of the Canadian carriers, I have usually stuck to T-Mobile's flash for the Nexus 6. Then again, I use Telus currently for Canada and T-Mobile for the USA. A friend of mine on Fido in Toronto, had no service in her basement apartment on the stock firmware but using LYZ28E has given her a couple of bars of service. Upgrading to the J has maintained that for her. Most of the people I know are on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pringled:
While I agree with you about Rogers being in decline in terms of service (in terms of both wireless and customer, am Iright?!?!)

but in this case I know for a fact that for me the issues are software related to at least some extent for starters because location has absolutely zero to do with when it craps out, and up until recently toggling airplane mode on and off would fix it (I know it;s present when an "!" appeas next to the signal icon), but also because Cataclysm hasn't ever given me even the slightest of a HINT of this problem, whereas various other ROMs cause me grief in this exact manner to varying degrees, and it was getting steadily worse all across the board (except Cataclysm) until miraculously about a week or so ago for liek three or four days straight I flashed build after build of any ROM I pleased with impunity and I thought I was finally out of the woods, but then the problem rebounded ever so slightly altered. Except for a few dead or dying threads on XDA that petered ot with no hint of an answer all of the threads I came across with a large enough nest of replies to make piecing stuff together not seem fruitless were on lie the Rogers forum or other not very tech saavy sources though, which measn that while the issue might vary in intesnsity based on the invidiual ROM and build of that ROM, stock is far from immune. Yet not even one person in the hundreds and hundreds of cumulative repleis I read. nor the 4 or 5 website articles dedicated to ti and the accompanying user comments, even hined at anyone anywhere knowing the root cause. Frustrating. Maybe M will fix it. Until that time comes, though, I'll give

Have you gone back to completely stock via fast book? I am not too sure why this is but radios tend to take a couple of days and a few reboots to settle. When I had issues with my Nexus 5 on Rogers, I had tried just about every radio with very little difference. After trying a Telus SIM in my phone, I got 4-5 bars of service where I had none before. In Toronto, I found that to be quite surprising.

I have never experienced the drop outs that some Nexus 6 owners have. I do travel a lot and rely on my phone quite a bit. Currently, I am up in Cobourg, Canada with my Nexus 6 with the T-Mobile 5.1.1 J on my phone. I will be in Toronto until about Labor Day once I leave here but signal strength has been solid. Because Canadian providers can share networks. See what you have available where you are and try and force your phone on a particular band from Bell, like band 4. Otherwise, grab a PAYG SIM and give that a try in your phone for a day or so on another network to see if you still get the drop outs.

Fwiw - I never use a recommended gapps package. I've always used a minimal package as I don't really use any Google apps, I just need contacts and calendar sync. I've never had any issues such as yours, and I've run most of the roms out there.

I don't see where gapps would make a difference though. They really don't have anything to do with how a device connects to a carrier.

The only time I had such an issue, and this was like 5 years ago, was when my carrier, Verizon at the time, was upgrading and installing towers. When they would bring 1 up and take it down for testing, things were pretty screwy. But once they were done, which took like 3 months, everything was good again.

Maybe you are in the same boat. Not that it matters now as it sound like you have a defunct device, which could also have been the problem with the connection issues.

Anyway, sounds like you have a new device coming, and hopefully that'll fix everything for ya.

I wish you the best of luck - I know I'm lost without my phone!
