[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I just the same issue today as you. It was a ROM issue. I was on PA. I switched to aokp for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
I had this issue on the stock, unrooted ROM after about 4 months as well. I think the cache partition was corrupted. You can try wiping this in recovery and see if the problem fixes itself.

I didn't think of just wiping the cache, so instead I did a factory reset by unlocking the bootloader and everything cleared up.

Now I wipe the cache partition roughly once a month and the phone runs like a champ. Also I use sdmaid to clear the device from junk that accumulates over time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backside floaters:
Thanks for the help, but I already did a factory reset with no success. Data works fine on LTE but if ibtryvswitching to 3g or 2g signal drops as well. If I have full signal it will connect but anything in less it doesn't connect the calls.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Flash factory images then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamoroso:
This happened to me on my non rooted N5 with 4.4.4. Disabling Wifi and/or LTE sometimes allowed a single SMS to get through, but then the problem resumed.

I fixed it by booting into recovery and wiping the cache partition. For some reason that took a long time (about 5 minutes) but eventually it finished and when I rebooted it was all good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpie24l:
I'd try the wiping the cache and reflashing the radio.

I had a similar issue first week of owning the phone any time I sent a text I lost service until I rebooted.

From what I've read some N5's don't like the 4.4.4 radios. Mine likes 4.4.4 but couldn't pick up a signal if it had a 50ft antenna with 4.4.3 radio.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgtgv4:
Nexus 5 Not making or receiving calls

I just had this almost exact same scenario. I started having problems with signal dropping using CM12 nightlies (late April 2015) then eventually I switched over to a NET10 because T mobile was not cutting it to begin with. After the problem persisted on an ATT Sim card with NET10, I started flashing different ROMs. Signal seemed to be more stable and everything was fine for a while. After a few days I was no longer able to make or receive calls.

Eventually I did a complete factory image (still didn't work)

Flashed a 4.4 radio image (didn't work immediately, but the next morning it seems to be working as of now)

I probably could have skipped the hours of trouble shooting if I would have (found this thread first) and just tried flashing different radio images. Or maybe it was the series of other steps combined...not really sure.

Good luck and hopefully this helps the next person going through this mess. Oh and don't event waste your time calling NET10/Straighttalk customer service.

*EDIT* Above did not solve my problem, I actually had to fix the physical radio connections which came loose.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_attack10:
same problem

Hey guys having the exact same issue. Dropped my phone hard and then all of a sudden I cannot make or receive ant calls with my carrier dialer. I can send and receive texts, use LTE data , Wi-Fi. When I place a call, it is silent for about 10 seconds then drops the call. When people call it is silent for 15 seconds, then voicemail.

Called google, said it is out of warranty and LG would have to repair it for $150 just to see the phone.

Have done a cache wipe and factory reset. Is this most likely a hardware issue that I need to open the back for ? Little bit of a tech noob but can work my way around things. Any help is super appreciated as I love my N5 32G and don't have the money.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgtgv4:
Same issue that I had, just remove the back and reattach/secure the radio wiring. It's on the left side and rubs parallel to the battery. It was a petty quick and easy fix.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac_attack10:
So I took the back off and looked at the cables and they were both connected. I took them off anyways and reconnected them. Didn't see anything surprising to my eyes at least. The only thing I did find out was that LTE is the only setting that I can't use data and texts on. 3G and 2G say no cellular network detected. Do I maybe need to replace the antenna cables ??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgtgv4:
Hmmm. I don't think the cables would be bad. I would just make absolute sure that they are staying attached after you re-assemble your phone. I even put a small piece of tape over the end that I noticed was loose. If that doesn't work then I think we had different issues with the same symptoms.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trachyte:
I'm having this same issue. Three weeks now, unable to make or receive calls. SMS and data work fine. Wifi works. LTE works. When I switch to 3G or 2G there is no connection and T-Mobile doesn't appear in the list of networks. The SIM card works fine in another phone so it must be an issue with the device.

Tried everything on the software and settings side, flashed different ROMs, flashed different radios including stock. No change whatsoever. I completely disassembled and reassembled the phone. Nothing was loose or looked broken, all contacts seem to be making contact.

I do vaguely recall dropping the phone recently, so I guess that must have been it. The only other possible cause was that Google Play Services was auto-updated the day before I noticed the problem. Of course that is unlikely to be the cause but just mentioning it in case anyone else had this issue starting around Oct 23, 2015.

As much as I hate to do it, I guess I'll have to get a new phone. Just no other solution I can see unfortunately.

For anyone finding this posting through Google, currently there is no VoLTE (Voice over LTE) support in the Nexus 5 on T-Mobile. If that is available when you're reading this, then you might look into enabling VoLTE and seeing if you can make voice calls using that. Based on my reading it seems like VoLTE is a software update (perhaps requiring the provider to support the device as well), but the consensus seems to be that VoLTE on Nexus 5 on T-Mobile is unlikely to happen. But they support it on the Nexus 6, so maybe there is some way it can be done on the Nexus 5. Also Wifi Calling on T-Mobile is not available for the Nexus 5. The consensus there is that the stock Google/T-Mobile ROMs are unlikely to ever add Wifi Calling support for the Nexus 5, but perhaps CM 13 or Android Marshmallow do or will have Wifi Calling support built in, so there may be some possibility of getting Wifi Calling using those.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgtgv4:
Did you try checking the cell antenna? That was my issue, I just tapped it back in place and my N5 has been fine ever since.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trachyte:
If you mean the ones with the long wires, then yes, I checked those. Actually I checked pretty much everything inside the phone. According to this excellent disassembly video: youtube dot com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg , there are lots of antennas and antenna contacts. So many that he doesn't get to all of them until 20 minutes into the video. But still, I checked all of those and they looked ok. There must be some damage somewhere, just too small for me to spot. He also identifies "external test ports" for some of the antennas. I don't know how those are used or if they would be useful to debug this issue, but for anyone else experiencing this, you might try looking into those.

Help

I'm having the same problem on my Nexus 6 and don't know what PA is and how to change it
[T-Mobile LG G2] chogau1:
Hello,

I just bought the G2 used that has 4.2.2 so rooting should be easy; just wondering if there's any mods to be able to use the entire 32 GB storage or if any custom ROM can allow the use of the entire 32 GB of internal storage.

Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2] NicoC72:
The internal storage chip is physically 32GB, so just like a computer hard drive, the file system will cut down on that. So no, you can't use the entire 32GB of storage, ever. However, if you install one of the lightweight ROM's you might be able to free up some space. Not entirely sure, as I just got this phone as well. Personally, I'm a bit confused on how to root this thing ATM. Should I follow Utesred's root guide, minus the reverting to 4.2.2 step?
[T-Mobile LG G2] chogau1:
If you are on JB 4.2.2, use this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869

Roms are around 200 megas, that should leave at least 30gb, can anyone confirm if that's the case?
[T-Mobile LG G2] NicoC72:
32GB of flash memory is actually ~29.8GB. Conversion here. Marketed gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes, but the actual size is 1,074,000,000 bytes. Android partitions the storage just like Linux, so the storage available to the end user is actually smaller than the total. These partition sizes differ based on the phone, so there might be some issues if you try to re-partition it to open up more space. If you want more room for media, best bet is to get a USB OTG cable and a small, high capacity USB drive, or some companies sell drives similar to this.

Sorry, but someone more versed in the LG G2 in particular would have to chime in to give you the specifics. You could try asking on the general G2 Q&A forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2] inspron:
Based on the lack of basic knowledge of drive space. It would be simpler to answer the op original question as a virtually impossible task for someone of his skill level. Changing the partitions size to optimize for space brings up all kinds of problems even in a custom rom.

I have been using my m8 since the day I got it back in early April and have never experienced that issue. I am also on tmo but have the dev edition with stock rom but I live in the city so I always get a strong and good signal.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdrw1024:
Possible solution

My M8 worked great for a month when about a week ago I've started having serious issues with the HSPA data.

After working great for a few minutes the data stopped working.

The H icon showed that traffic was sent from the phone but no traffic received by the phone.

Sometimes the data connection was restored by itself and sometimes I has to toggle the data connection off/on to have it restored.

It both cases the data connection failed again after several minutes.

All the diagnostics app showen that there was hspa connection.

After trying almost anything I could think of I found out what causes my problem:

It's the F**** NFC!!!

I've forgot that a week ago I've disabled the NFC thinking this will save battery life (though the battery life is great).

Turning the NFC on (followed by a power-down/power up cycle) solved all the data connection problem.

I've verified several times that NFC disable is indeed the cause of my problem.

Hope this helps others on this thread.

Hi all. My Verizon Moto X is unlocked and I've been trying to get a custom boot animation on it by switching out the bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder (using ROM toolbox to facilitate this). Problem is every boot animation is too small and has a huge black border around it when I boot up. I gave up and downloaded the stock one and tried to go back to that and... STILL the black border. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrhomiec:
tomorrow i will be receiving my Galaxy S4 in the mail, and basically i just want to make sure i will be rooting this phone with the most recent and preferred method.

i found this guide from 2 different sticky threads "[HOW-TO] The ULTIMATE All-In-One Guide - I337M & MDL - MF3 - MK2" and "Frequently Asked Questions"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297900

but i started to see thing different than what i'm used to on the GS3:

(1) "This will not work on Build Number I337UCUAMF3"

is this comparable to the bootloader on the GS3? kinda like how there's a different guide to root a GS3 on the MJB bootloader.

(1b) what version will come out of the box?

should i root it before even putting my SIM card in it so it doesn't have a chance to auto-update?

(2) CASUAL

it sounds like this is an all-in-one, do-it-all Windows application? so i won't need the use of Odin to flash any files?

(3) what's the preferred custom recovery?

i've been using CWM for so many years now, it's just my go-to custom recovery.

SOLVED, see my last post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Chances are you'll get an S4 with a newer firmware. This means you won't be able to use TWRP or CWM, and you can't run AOSP ROMs. You can still root and flash other Touchwiz ROMs.

1) Yes, that's exactly what it is in fact. Bootloaders MF3 and above do not support the only exploit we have to install AOSP ROMs.

1b) Like i said, probably a newer one. Check on the outside of the box and it will have a label somewhere about the software version. If it's not MDB or MDL then you can't use the exploit to get an AOSP ROM.

2) Yes, it is an AIO Windows app, but it won't work unless you get one on MDL or MDB again.

3) If you get the newer firmware, Safestrap is the only recovery, and Touchwiz ROMs are all that's compatible

If you want a better explanation of anything, PM me and I'll be glad to respond as soon as I finish the essay i should be typing at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrhomiec:
so in short, MDB/MDL = awesome.

i really hope i get one of these then. i always flash CM on whatever phone i use.

if i do receive a phone that's MDB/MDL, i should NOT insert my SIM card, and NOT connect to wifi then? that way i can root first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Exactly, do not let it connect. Just use CASUAL and then either use your root to disable the OTA updater or go straight to a ROM. Then just remember that if you ever have issues and need to flash stock firmware only flash the same and never a newer one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrhomiec:
aw man. just got the phone in, and it's already been updated.

found these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52167774

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 (edit, upon more searching, this method seems the most mentioned/preferred)

and i'm wondering if i should even "root" this phone anymore. i feel like if/when a real root method comes out, i can root it then?

i guess the benefit of rooting now, would be to freeze/uninstall Samsung apps. also, would it be any easier to real root after sorta rooting?

edit, some more searching around, rooting right now (and with Safestrap Recovery installed) has a whole bunch of scenarios to be aware of. this is kinda overwhelming coming from the GS3 and Nexus phones/tablets.

edit, what are ROM slots? this sounds like dual-boots to me.

and also, since my phone came with NB1, what is the proper terminology for this situation? because i'm reading references like "NB1 users who took the OTA" and "NB1 users who started out there".

another edit! so i think i'm going to just root, and stop there, is that possible? or do i have to go one step further and install Safestrap Recovery?

i tried to follow the guide above (2nd link), and in Odin i got a FAIL message when i loaded the *.pit file to the PIT slot, and the *.md5 file to the AP slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:

9. Flash super su update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rhymey:
flashing DVMT is optional. any modifications to the kernel will void his warranty (Knox 0x1). i'd advise looking into PurifieD or any 'stock' variant rom that does not require a custom kernel to be flashed, at least until your year of warranty goes by. Any post saying 'flashing period will void your warranty' is incorrect. On PurifieD with knox 0x0.

Yup, you got it. Go into advanced wipe on Safestrap and tick all of those. I never bothered with either of those zips. The only thing you might need to do is reflash SuperSU, but I never had an issue using the stock rom, just custom ones. SuperSU DL here.
