Wifi Issues

I have a 2.4/5GHz dual-band Wireless-AC network at home that my Nexus 5 connects to just fine. At work there are various wireless gateways that run at 2.4 GHz that my phone can also connect to just fine. However, the main work network, which I need to to connect to is a 2.4/5 GHz network with access points all over the building and my phone just refuses to connect to it after upgrading to Lollipop. It will say 'connecting' for several seconds and then go right back to 'saved'. I have tried disabling and reenabling my wifi, I have tried forgetting the network and reentering the password, and I have even tried setting my phone to 2.4 GHz only (since I had heard something about Nexus phones having strange issues with 5GHz networks), but nothing has worked. I really need to get my phone on this network, so I'm hoping someone can help me.\

In case it's relevant, the 5 GHz band of the work network is on channels 36, 40, 44, 48, and 157, and the 2.4 GHz band is on channels 1, 6, and 11.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheScreamingWookie:
Installed the Dev preview a few days ago and everything was working great. I was on a hangouts call over wifi when the call dropped and WiFi was disconnected. Now my phone doesn't see any WiFi networks at all. I tried cycling airplane mode, rebooting, connecting manually to a network and still doesn't see any networks. It turns off and on fine.

So my next step was to revert back to my CM11 nandroid backup I made before the dev preview. Problem persisted, still not a single wifi network detected. That's when I got concerned, so my next step was to flash stock 4.4.4 via fastboot. Problem is still there. So I'm out of things to try and hoping someone has something for me to test. Short of an actual hardware issue I don't know what it could be.

I'm running the LPX13D Developer Preview and am experiencing some pretty sever battery drain. On normal use, my device is typically down to 60% in just over a couple of hours without any video watching, intense gaming or anything like that.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimex:
Can't be the only one experiencing this, but I went through every Lollipop developers preview thread and couldn't find any mention.

When using WiFi/VoIP calling through Hangouts (Google Voice integration), the people on the other end have an incredible echo. They can hear themselves talking and end up hanging up or telling me they can't talk because it's unbearable. I called Google Play Nexus support yesterday and called them back again tonight but happened to be running 4.4.4 and the guy on the other end said there was absolutely no echo. I had him call me back 2 minutes later after I booted into Lollipop and the echo was back. To double check I had him call me back once again after booting back into KK; no echo.

Anyone else experiencing this?

From my experience you're not going to be able to install it without doing a complete wipe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankmonza:
I wiped already twice to get to this preview, at this point its probably better to just wait for the final release in 2 weeks, even as a developer i dont think its worth the wipe unless someone has issues which i dont.

Anyway thanks, i hoped someone here in XDA found a way to do that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Full wipe is highly recommended if not required. Even google posts it on their instructions for the Dev preview. I know some of you might want to dirty flash or exclude fastboot flashing the user script in the image but I promise you , you will have nothing but issues.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ah that makes sense
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1979Sentinel:
To me it does not. What is causing this difference????
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ah OK. Well deep within android is a file that lists how much battery certain uses take. Or at least there used to be.

The file might say for example wifi disconnected 2mA. WiFi connected 4mA. These are example figures, not actual

So android uses this file to calculate how long your battery has been used for WiFi connected and everything else and works out percentage. It is ALWAYS wrong though. If I stand next to my router, it may be 4mA, but if I'm in the bathroom, it needs more power so maybe it uses 9mA.

A file can never list every scenario so everything is just a guess and has never been right. If all stats add up to less mA than has actually been used from the battery (which nandroid checks periodically) then there is a difference.

Also in android, you would sometimes see the graph go.back up as it recalculates. Interested to see if this replaces that.
