[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjmense:
I just was wondering about this new Sim card t-mobile gave me it is a ISIS NFC Sim. I just turned off NFC on on my phone and it seems to be better but need more time. Just for fun I think I may go to T-mobile and ask for a regular Sim card and also check the APN settings on the N5 they sell to see if they match mine. I also left out my Sim card last night and ran speed test when I woke up and maxed out the results for my service. That is the first time it has had good speed when I wake up without toggleing WiFi off and on. If it still doesn't work I'm Calling Google to see about replacing/returning.

I just keep thinking why only some people have this problem. Unless we all got bad phones, then it is a Google account thing pulling foward or it has to have something to do with Sim cards/carrier problem. What else would be different from user to user besides these 2 things?

WiFi works great for me . but when I've had issues in the past with phones a reset of the router ( unplug for few min ) and delete of the network on phone ,reboot then reconnect wifi and re add network to phone has always fixed it .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjmense:
Just a update. One new Sim card and and another new gmail account made before puting in a new Sim card. And still having issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
So we can eliminate it being the "syncing WiFi settings from the cloud on a new phone" issue again then. At least we can put that one to bed for certain.

Was the new SIM for a different network than before? If so, same band or different band? Do you generally get a 2G or 3G signal at home?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjmense:
Same network T- mobile just older non ISIS Sim. I get E network at my house but at work I get no signal in the building most of the time and it slows at work too. I'm going to give it the weekend and call Google on Monday to see if I can get a new phone and try that. I still think it is just 4.4 causing issues but I want to try it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
It's been a week now after turning Mobile Data off, and still no problems with WiFi.

4.4.1 is currently being rolled out so I'm going to see if that fixes the issue properly.

If it doesn't I'll see if getting Tasker to turn mobile data off whenever WiFi is on, and turn mobile data on whenever WiFi is not connected to anything, is a viable workaround.

My other N5 (same settings + router) has still never had this issue once, so right now I'm reasonably sure it's something to do with Mobile Data on 2G/Edge (as opposed to 3G/H) and/or Mobile data on the 900MHz band (as opposed to 1800MHz), or the APN settings.

I'll come back when anything new comes up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
The problem is still there on 4.1.1 for me.. First thing I tried

Where WiFi goes slow while 2g data is on sometimes. It's a very odd bug imo.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
At some point over the week this trick stopped working for me and I'm down to pitifully slow WiFi speeds again. Slower then my non-LTE data even.

I had my Locations off completely over the week and recently enabled it. No combination of radio toggling seems to be recovering my full WiFi speeds as I was able to last week. Hopefully 4.4.1 helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
So it had been 11 days since I'd had this issue (after turning Mobile Data off). Previously (with Mobile Data on), I'd not managed more than a day or so without the issue occurring.

I was forced to turn Mobile Data back on this morning as I was away from home. Within an hour of returning home (with Mobile Data still on, but connected to home WiFi) I'd encountered the problem again.

Therefore I'm about as sure as one can be that turning Mobile Data off prevents the issue occurring for some reason.

I'm now testing a Tasker based workaround, where I have a Profile that triggers when connected to my home WiFi and runs a task that turns off Mobile Data, and an Exit Task to turn it back on (i.e. when not connected to my home WiFi).

I'll report back if this doesn't help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
Also just got 4.4.2 and it still occurs on that.

Still testing a Tasker based workaround...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavin-phelan:
Tasker based work around?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
As described above :)

Using the application called Tasker, you can program Tasker to automatically turn Mobile Data off when connected to a given WiFi router(s) and back on when you disconnect from said router(s).

Tasker is by far the best automation app for Android, if not the best app ever created for it. If you don't know about it I suggest Googling for some examples of what you can do with it. But the short version is you can react to pretty much any event or state the phone is capable of detecting and then perform actions which are pretty much anything the phone is capable of doing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
can you post the script somewhere?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
It really is so short it would be less hassle to provide instructions on how to make it. So, in Tasker...

New Profile -> give it a name -> State -> Net -> Wifi Connected -> hit magnifying glass on SSID -> Select your home SSID -> Back -> New Task -> give it a name "Mobile Data off" -> Add -> Net -> Mobile Data -> Set Off -> Back -> Back (should be back on Profiles list now). Long press "Mobile Data off" -> Add Exit Task -> New Task -> give it a name "Mobile Data on" -> Add -> Net -> Mobile Data -> Set On -> Back several times to home screen.

Done.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
great script but you must be on verizon or another CDMA. The toggles apparently only work on CDMA unless you have a plug in. My plug in, secure settings, was apparently broken by the 4.2.2 OTA. I'm looking into a fix. Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
I'm on GSM in the UK (we don't have any CDMA networks). I saw the message in Tasker about it may not work, but it certainly does. If you tell it to turn Mobile Data on or off then go into the actual phone's settings you can see it has been toggled correctly. Furthermore you can see the H / 3G / G icon on the signal strength disappear/reappear. It is certainly working fine for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
Interesting. I'm on T-Mobile GSM in the US and it definitely wasn't toggling for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
T-Mobile in the US, Android 4.2.2... it works, but I can understand why you would think it doesn't. Because you're changing the setting it from under the Android settings widget, you might not see the setting toggle in system settings->More-> mobile networks.

Instead, test that it's working in tasker. Disconnect from Wi-Fi, then load the disable data task and click the play button. You should see the signal bar lose the connection (no E,3,H). Now load the enable task and click play; it should reconnect.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Llama allows you to easily automate Data on/off as well. However as I mentioned though this worked for me at first I believe it has more to do with the Location mode.

At the very least it's an issue with interference from different antennas.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
I got the same problem on my nexus 4 too. It was fine for a whole year, then when KitKat came out for it....... boom.......problem with slow WiFi when connecting alongside 2g.. so it has to be an error in the KitKat code.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
I stand corrected. On closer inspection you are indeed right that it does work on US T-Mobile. I'm anxious now to engage it and see the wifi improve.

Many thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
Right after this is a good time to do "Add->Alert->Flash" and enter "Disable Mobile Data". Then repeat (with different text, obviously) the same in the task that enables mobile data.

These will give you a nice Toast when your tasks run, which can be useful for troubleshooting if you suspect they aren't running for some reason.

Must say, seems to be working great so far. I've had 50Mbit all day. Normally it drops down to 5Mbps after 30 minutes or so.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
Still working here too.

It may well affect Location too. Even with WiFi and GPS on, the phone will still access the Mobile network to get a low accuracy location because knowing your rough location vastly speeds up getting a GPS lock (that's part of Assisted-GPS).

Interestingly, this is what the "supl" part in the APN Type is meant to toggle, but I didn't have any luck changing that. Not all networks support APN Type strings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Forgot to say setting 2.4Ghz on my frequency band is what fixed my home WiFi issues permanently. Auto would be ideal but my home network is 2.4 and it seems to cause the random issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
Definitely didn't fix it for me. Tried 2.4 only, 5 only, Auto. The problem here is that there are many things that can make your WiFi slow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muEcke*:
Hmm seems to be hardware specific. Can't force the problem here with FRITZ! hardware...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
More likely to be network specific. I've got two identical N5s purchased at the same time. I have the issue on one but not the other. Only difference is the network.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
Extorian, just a note to tell you that this N5 runs like a different device after running this script for a few days. Seems you really nailed it. Thanks again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t2002:
Yes, I've been running this for a couple of days and all my problems have disappeared.

Good work!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
Yep - can report the same here. Working fine since using the Tasker workaround.

I wish I knew the root cause though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norwoodesteel:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bosscellular.wifi.boost&hl=en

this app temporarily fixes the problem. maybe the app holds some clue to the real problem?

but you can see how it degrades down to 30-40mbps and then i hit the app and it immediately goes above 200 mbps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
I think its bull shting your speeds lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
if those are Speedtest.net results that's testing more than wifi it's actually testing internet speed as well. I've never seen an internet connection that fast and I seriously doubt that there's a mobile phone capable of downloading at 300mbps. I've at least never seen anything near that speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norwoodesteel:
well you are both wrong nexus 5 is capable of "up to" 300mbps. i have 1 gig fiber and a netgear R7000 router with wired speeds usually 900-930 mbps up and down. those are the wi-fi [5G] speeds i get, wish it wouldn't degrade like that it's definitely a nexus 5/android bug
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norwoodesteel:
here's the FCC test
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
The app disconnects and reconnects the WiFi connection, so either way it being able to temporarily fix the issue this thread is about is something we already know. If you manually disconnect and reconnect WiFi it does the same.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Did a factory reset it fixed it now
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extorian:
I'm willing to bet that'll fix it for as long as tuning WiFi off and back on fixes it (about a day).

The Tasker solution I came up with is still working absolutely fine for me. So that's the fix I'm going to recommend to the world until Google fix it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Didn't have anything important that was saved on device so might aswell reset it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
I did a desperate full wipe off the phone, flash-all.sh and all. No luck. Tasker trick (ie toggling mobile data off) does not fix it for me. With multiple APs around the house with overlapping coverage though, I decided to block wifi access to the router in my own room and instead use the basement one. Yes connecting to the basement AP provides a faster and more reliable connection. That's how absurd this problem is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
The first two screenshots are my N5 on 5GHz, and the third one my N5 on 2.4. On the other hand, my N7 gets up to 55Mbps on 5GHz. Unfortunately, the Tasker workaround doesn't work for me.

EDIT: Wait a minute... Why do I care about 5GHz when I'm getting such great speeds on 2.4? Duh.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
I've got 3 APs with maybe 5-10% overlap. They switch best for me if I actually leave them set to the same channel and the overlap doesn't seem to affect performance. The tasker script has solved it for me and my particular configuration.

I have had my nexus for 4 days now and I'm not impressed with this issue. I'm sure there will be a fix at some point, and I'm hoping it's soon because I'm not interested in providing work arounds with apps, and scripts. This is my 4th nexus device and the first one I've ever had any issues with. Pretty annoying for brand new hardware. However, I knew if there was a way around it that xda would be the place to check.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
I guess I have a different take. Because its a nexus you at least have the opportunity to apply a workaround. With other carrier phones you are simply "stuck", totally dependent on the carrier who may/may not provide a fix and most likely it won't be timely one.

That said this particular work around doesn't even require a rooted device.

Additional investigation on the router side:

Router is an Asus RT-N16 running Tomato Firmware v1.28.0503 MIPSR2Toastman-RT-N K26 USB Ext

Changing wifi driver does not work (went from RT to RT-N)

Updating firmware does not work

Changing wifi channel does not work

Being a good or bad neighbor does not change anything

Changing SSID name does not work

Forcing B/G/N mode does not work

Hard resetting (30-30-30 + NVRAM wipe on upgrade) does not work

Changing MAC address does not work

The last one is very telling. To the phone, this is a new AP, but the behavior is still identical. With this finding, although it's still very very likely a phone software (ie. wifi driver) problem, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the router configuration has a fault in it.

How does the Nexus 5 know when you want to use Sprint?

I assume if the SIM of a GSM carrier is in the phone, it uses that SIM.

If you remove all SIMs, does it then act like a Sprint phone without 4G?
