[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I do believe this is a software/OS problem as well, but I find it strange that I couldn't find more about it on Google's support forums or even more threads about it on XDA.

I wanted to update everybody and let them know that Google support put in an RMA for my phone in order to try to resolve the issue. I explained to the support tech that I tried resetting the phone to defaults and reloading the latest images that were posted (KRT16M) and could still produce the same issue without fail; I even took a video with my Galaxy Nexus and sent it to them.

And I gave up on being connected to WiFi all the time. Once I connect to WiFi and let the phone go idle all the issues begin, and then I'll have the problem on 3G/LTE when I turn off WiFi. Rebooting with WiFi off will get me back to normal, but this is obviously very inconvenient and putting a serious cramp in my monthly data usage.

I have absolutely 0 confidence that this is a hardware issue, but at this point I'll try anything so my fingers are crossed that the RMA/new device does the trick since it seems such a small percentage of people seem to be talking about this particular issue.

I'll post an update once I get the new phone and test.

I just wanted to chime in and say I've got the Nexus 5 on Tmo's $30 plan and I haven't experienced this at all. All my calls come through exactly as they should...maybe it is a hardware issue or even a Tmo issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I had this problem on Sprint. On one of the Sprint forums (S4GRU), I was told about a Sprint LTE issue. You can read more if you want, but net-net, the recommendation was to switch to 3g in areas where the LTE issue is occurring. Yes, it is a pain in the rear, but it seems to help me at least get the calls that I need. (data is available for me over wifi at this location).

Again, this is specific to Sprint, and only in some impacted areas.

(I did have Google send me a replacement phone - that didn't solve this issue)

There is 2 posts about the same issue on google forum

i can't post link i am to fresh on this forum

but google "Nexus 5 Hangouts SMS messages are delayed" 1st on top

and "Unreliable texting" 2nd

If this is the problem with software why it started like few days ago before everything worked fine

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
I have zero issues on my N5 with Tmo, texts and calls come through right away. I've had many Android phones and have never had any issues.

Are you guys running any apps like Greenify or anything that is preventing the radio from waking the phone properly>

Having the same issue on different carriers with the same OS where all that they have in common is a Google account, I can see one app having an ill effect on the basic phone functionality.

Sprint does have a known delay with incoming calls, it's a CDMA thing they enable on their end, but it usually only adds a couple of seconds delay.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QWIKSTRIKE:
It happens to me and when it does I realize that the phone is locked onto LTE, when a call comes in it is supposed to switch to 1x. The fall back switching on the phone's software is probably the issue on Sprint.

having the same issues. had to reinsert the sim card. tmobile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkej:
I turned off wifi and restart the phone two days ago so far no problem just not using wifi. Hope google will fix it soon
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkej:
Did any one report it to google already ??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
I had an issue with sms not sending until I would reboot phone. I was only able to fix by getting a new sim card. No issues since.

For the people with issues, are you using a lte compatible sim card, and have you tried resetting the device and using it without any 3rd party apps installed (absolutely none)?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Only solution is put in airplane mode until google releases a fix

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
Just wanted to update anyone following this thread, I received the new phone from Google and the problem persisted as I had expected it to. For the time being I'm just leaving WiFi off and watching my data use so I don't hit my limit before throttling. Pretty frustrated all things considered. I'd like to wait this out and see if there is a fix issued in a future update, but don't want to wait so long that I can't return the phone in case the update still doesn't address the issues. I asked the google support what my return on options are, so we'll see what they say.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I had the issue happen after I loaded the 4.4 images on my original unit, and on the "fresh" load of 4.4 that was on my replacement unit that google sent as part of an RMA. I tested both phones directly after the load with no 3rd party apps installed, and still had it occur. It only occurs when I'm on WiFi though, so it doesn't seem like it's a carrier problem on my end.

I'd want to say it's a problem with maintaining connections while 4.4 is trying to save power when idle, but that would imply that it should be a much more widespread problem that it apparently is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
Have you tried getting a new sim card since this problem started?

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------

I had a nexus 5 from the first batch that were sent out and I had the SMS sending issue, but I also had a messed up vibration motor so google sent me a new unit. Before the 2nd unit arrived I had switched sim cards and the issue went away. I have never had the issue with the 2nd unit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I went to T-Mobile and tried swapping out the sim. Same exact behavior after I connected to WiFi and powered the screen off. After about 20-30 seconds, I could not receive a text message and my calls from a blackberry and landline both went straight to voice mail. I waited about 30 seconds without receiving any notifications, and right after I turned WiFi off I received the text messages and the voicemail I left.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
Maybe a tmo provisioning issue? Not sure. Have you checked the access points? Probably a long shot but maybe check the settings there and compare to what they should be. Do you use google voice or any other Internet based calling?

Other than that, send it back and get the moto x for 350 right from Motorola!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
No Google Voice or VOIP type services. It's weird, like I said in the original post I don't have issues with anything outgoing. It's just when the phone goes idle it's like I lose my connection to the cell tower. I can send a text or make a call and whatever SMS/MMS or voicemail notifications that were queued up pour in all at once.

What really sucks is that it doesn't seem to happen on when I set the network type to 3G, so I'm basically just using a Nexus 4 with better hardware right now :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Advocate512:
I am also having this same issue. Although they insisted over the phone that I had the correct SIM card type, I went ahead and went to the t-Mobile store and got a brand new one that was definitely and LTE Sim. It worked for a little while, but as soon as I got back into WiFi range at home,. I started missing calls. I am going to try to turn off the WiFi and see if that works for now. Unrooting my phone seemed to fix it for a while too, but then eventually it goes back. I've tried setting it to only 3G, and it still does it. They are having me go in and ensure that I have manually selected T-Mobile as my service provider, I will post it that fixes it. thankfully still have my Nexus 4 that does not have this problem (but does also not have 4.4 on it yet).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I'm interested to see what you find out. I already went through 2 SIMs, a factory reset, loading factory images, safe modes and am on my second Nexus 5 and still have the problem when I'm on LTE.

Interestingly enough, I went to Virginia for a few days and everything seemed to work fine, but when I got back to Florida it started up again so it really has me curious what the problem is for it to be so sporadic. Makes me wonder if there is a problem with how the N5 handles a certain frequency or something (I think T-Mobile uses 1700 and 1900). Thankfully leaving it on 3G works fine in my case so I can still use the phone, but this is really frustrating.

What carrier are you using? I'm wondering if AT&T users are experiencing this problem.

EDIT: Just re-read your post and saw you have T-Mobile. I'm very curious about the AT&T users now. I wonder if this is just a T-Mobile issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinity03:
Not just T-Mobile as I am having this problem on Sprint. And yes my area has functioning CSFB.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Advocate512:
Google is sending me a new phone. I am able to reproduce the error by having wifi connected and LTE turned on by hitting the power button to make the phone sleep (screen dark). All calls, voicemails, and text/SMS/Hangouts/XMPP messages do not come through until the phone is awakened. Either turning off the wifi or disabling the LTE makes it receive calls when slept. The reason I could not reproduce it at the T-Mobile store is that they had no wifi for me to connect to. I will drop back by there to see if they will let me use the store wifi or have them do it on one of their $100-extra Nexus 5s.

For those who are posting about Sprint issues, understand that it may be a while before your problems are fixed. A very long time if your goal is to be able to talk and surf the net at the same time evidently:

Were you guys able to get free sim card replacements when you went to the store or did you have to shell out 10 bucks?

Cause I'm suffering from the same problem and setting it to 3g does not work. I just have to disable my wifi to get texts and what not. Sending them works perfectly fine with wifi on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I received a replacement device from Google about 2 weeks ago, and still have the problem. Best of luck to it taking care of you though, because not being able to use LTE without worrying about your phone ceasing to be a phone really sucks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I bought my first SIM since I went from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 5 and had to get the micro SIM. My second was given to me since I've been with T-Mobile for over 10 years, so your mileage may vary with depending on who you talk to.

I'd advise talking to customer support on the phone first, and seeing if you can get someone to mark your account for a new SIM so then you can go pick one up in the store.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
I'm going to add this to my original post as well, but I just wanted everyone to see the Google Product forum threads that this issue is being talked about.

The first one is the most recent thread, but I'd suggest that anyone that comes across this XDA thread post in both of the Google forums to show how many are really having this issue. So far nobody from Google has acknowledged there being problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Advocate512:
If you call tmobile, they will call down to the store and let them know to give you one for free. But that's only after I was able to reproduce the error for them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intake:
Hmm, this is weird, I contacted tmobile's live support the other day, and they did some setting changes on my account and that fixed my problem for about an hour or so, and then the problem came back. Today, I noticed that i was able to receive texts through wifi again. So it seems like the problem fixed it self, or tmobile's settings finally kicked in.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmar22:
Hey guys, Let me chime in on my experience and maybe this can help some of you out. I am on my second Nexus 5..the first one had screen bleed issues and T mobile replaced it with a new unit. The unit I currently have was having the same issues, delayed messages and call issues left and right. I was furious and called down to my Tmobile store and they said to change the SIM card..ok..so updated that, reset device, unroot, etc and STILL had issues.

I was going to go in again to have them replace this one too but decided to try one more thing before I gave them hell:

1.settings

2.more

3.Mobile networks

4.Preferred network type changed from LTE to 3g

5. Rebooted

Since doing that I haven't had any issues at all.

Now I know who wants to be on 3G right? Well I mostly use my device on WIFI and I know that at least around my are they are doing a lot of network work and merging towers with Metro PCS so the network has been spotty regardless.

I do have to admit that when I made those changes my issues stopped. I tested making calls from different phones before and after the changes and it worked for me.

Going forward I am sure that there will be a permanent fix for this that doesn't involve having to go to 3G.

Hope this helps someone!

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
kmar22 - Thanks for the info. I posted the 3G "fix" a little earlier in the thread, so hopefully people see that this thread will get the idea that it can be a possible workaround. Another poster in this thread, Intake, reported that this didn't work unfortunately, but it seems to be the consensus over at the Google Product forums on how to get around this problem for the time being.

Please follow one of the links in my original post and comment over in the Google Product Forums. The more people that are vocal about it the faster (I hope) they'll release a fix.

Here's hoping that 4.4.2 addresses it, heh.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cral:
Does anyone knows if by going to a custom rom this issue might get solved. I've been reading all this threads and some people say that it stopped happening to them when they went to a different rom. I'm having this issues on both of my phones, they are both stock.

Got this problem aswell and it temporary fixes by resetting the apn for me. I have T-Mobile by the way

Edit: I leave it on data mode, no issues for me but I turn on wifi when I need to. Its temporary but works
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A51Janitor:
LOL. Agreed. One of the threads I have been watching on the product forums had a poster come in and basically say that XDA folks are aware of the problem and the solution is to flash the original 4.4 radio. Well, that is not a solution.

Seriously. Why have no media sites picked this issue up for reporting? The only way to really light a match under Google's behind is to start pushing this issue on sites like Android Central, Droid Life, Android Police, GSM Arena, etc. Having to give up LTE and accept only allowing 3G connections to ensure the phone maintains a connection lock with the mobile network is unacceptable.

I think this is the fascinating part. This is a legitimate, major phone issue. iPhone Antenna-Gate worthy. Why the silence? Why the sweeping under the rug? Is it because so few of us (android users) actually have the nexus 5?

All I'm hearing from google and android sites are crickets and I want an answer. Having a phone that literally won't function properly on its advertised radio frequency is a deal breaker.

Pulling up an old question since I just learned of this issue on Feb 24. I was just about to purchase a new N5 (T-Mobile) when I saw this problem noted in a post on Android Police. So I echo the same question as above.

Always On Push Notifications android app

I am not sure if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I switched to StraightTalk about a month ago, and have been experiencing huge delays in my google voice notifications as well (among other things). I've tried several different apps to get this resolved, but none have worked for me... so I decided to write my own. It was published to the google play store this morning (Android 2.3+ currently).

Phone is rooted with latest TWRP, Cataclysm rom, and Franco kernel. It started happening when I flashed r11 Franco kernel and when I reboot the phone, it shuts down instead. I couldn't start the phone holding down the power button and I held it for over 20 seconds. I thought I bricked my phone. After few minutes fussing with the buttons, it finally booted up. However, every time I reboot my phone, it'll do the same and I had to fuss around the buttons keeping them press down for several minutes before it'll boot up to system or boot loader. As far as I can see, it can boot to recovery & system with no issue. I'm wondering if I need to flash to stock and reflash it again. Anyone knows anything about this or had same issue, please help. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Listen like the kernel is the problem. So flash another one (easy way) or go back to stock.

If it's working fine then, it was the kernel which made this happens.
