I'm in Arizona with tmobile and I sometimes have my network drop maybe at least once a day.
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
No network drops in Vegas...
[Nexus 5 General] mikka06:
Definitely it's a N5 issue. I'm in Europe and I have this problem. I remember reading in forums about that when I bought my phone. As long as I was on 4.4.2 I never had a single issue. After updating on 4.4.4 I have network issues few times a day.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
its called a network issue for a reason. its an issue with your network, not the device. i didnt have issues on on 44, 441, 442, 443, nor 444. network issues relate to your network.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Well if it is my network, how come when i lose the network, sometimes the phone will also reboot. Dont think thw network would cause that
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
just as your phone shouldnt be rebooting. so your "network issue" can be related to whatever you are running on your phone. that would be on the personal level, so id check into what i am running. my nexus 5 has never had an issue with rebooting.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Me neither. I'm running 4.4.4 stock unroofed unmodified and never had random reboots or network drop.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Reflash stock firmware, clean. Go a few days without any apps installed. This will show if its phone/network related, or app related.

If it still acts up on fresh install. Try someone elses Sim, preferably on another network. If it's OK... Then you've narrowed it down to your Sim, or again, you're network.

Process of elimination. ?
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Same thing happens to me on AT&T. It has happened with 3 separate N5s and doesn't happen with my Moto X. Yeah, it's an N5 problem. The radio in this phone is garbage.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Just because it happens to one person doesn't mean its a global issues. The same goes for the majority of reported issues on this forum . are you running stock firmware or a ROM or mods?
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
You guys dont understand. Ive tried everything. Flashed to stock, 4.4.1,4.4.2,4.4.4 relocked the bootloader. Called tmobile ten times, different radios, sim cards, pulled the sim for 5 mins, different roms, apns, Same exact problem every time. Did you not read my OP? Even the display model with nothing on it did the same exact thing. Maybe its a flawed design, where some phones have this problem, and others dont. Maybe its a combination of the phone and the network. I dont think well ever know
[Nexus 5 General] :
Well, that said.... You just have terrible luck it seems. The extreme majority on XDA don't have any issue.

It's your carrier then. Plain and simple. Every N5 you touch can't possibly be defective. ?

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

And putting people down for trying to help will make it a rough time for you on XDA my friend. ?
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Stock. Every N5 I have owned has been stock, and all have had network dropping issues, and all have had difficulty maintaining LTE. No problems with my Moto X, none with my iPhone 5s when I had it, and none with any other LTE phone I've owned while on AT&T. Just the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
i think that you are the one actually not seeing the issue. your phone drops data, you watched the store phone lose data as well. your phone and that other is on the same network. it doesnt sound like a phone issue, it sounds as if its your local network that is having the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
It's a radio/network combo issue. I never had drops on the 4.4 radio. Since 4.4.1 and above, i get these network drops on a daily basis.

Go to your battery stats, look for cell standby and check the "time without a signal" percentage. I usually have 10-11% of my uptime.

I got fed up with this crap, so reverted earlier today to the 4.4 radio (1.0.25.0.17). Still too early to make any judgment.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Edit: i noticed some dead spots in my city, my phone just loses signal everytime i'm in those specific places. On a side note, my friends with galaxy S4 active, htc M7 , iphones all have signal in those "dead spots"
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Where was i putting anyone down?? Where does that come from??? I wish i woulda tried another phone with lte, to put this debate to an end. Infact. I will, as soon as i can
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
I have this same thing in my stats. Even tho i usually have a good signal. Interesting.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Those signal drops are occuring more often than you notice them, like when the phone is in your pocket etc...

I noticed when i'm at home for most of the day, time without a signal is 1-2% of the uptime. On days when i'm out walking around town, it's raises to 9-10-11%.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
and thats normal. here, in nyc, signal is generally perfect. but there are dead spots. spots just out of range, or in a large building, or on the belt parkway near the only gas station, or in my oarents elevator. when we move locations, spaces, our signals fluctuate from better/worse to better/worse. or they can drop. id say around 9-11% is doing alright, mine says 9% at the moment. im sure that some others would show much worse. but thats because we are mobile. at the same location, without the mobility, we would mostly show much less of a %.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
What angers me is that most of those dead spots are dead spots only for my N5, my friends with other devices (on the same carrier/network) have some kind of signal. That's why i reverted back to the old radio, i think it worked better with my mobile operator than later radios.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
for me its the same dead spots that ive had for years, since pre-g1. since the blackberry 7100t and the tmobile mda. nothing new here.

anyways, ive been using the .17 radio for a long time now. i tried the radio that came with L, but liked this one better.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Well even if the majority doesnt have any issues, the fact that i am most definitely not the only one shows that it is most definitely an issue
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
And to anyone that feels as if I've put them down, i really dont know why that is. But you feel that way it was not my intention, the only thing i can think of would be miss communication, or my frustration comes off wrong, either way, I've tried to be nothing but nice to everyone here on xda, were all in this together. But if anyone really does feel that way please accept my apologies.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
It sounds like you might just get bad reception from your currently flashed radio. If it's not a -100 or better signal you have problems maybe?
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
nah it really doesnt matter, heck, I was on top of a roof with a clear sky and no trees around me with a 100% fulll signal. And i did used the speed test app a few times and it lost service a few times doin that.
[Nexus 5 General] asd87:
Definitely an issue with 4.4.4 and L. I actually just dropped service about 10 minutes ago. Happens more on 4.4.4 than it does on L.
[Nexus 5 General] sixty_oz:
I just wanted to let you all know it's a very common problem. But I think it's the providers. When my note 2 got the update for 4.3 it had the same issue. Now that I'm with a different service provider I have no issues.
[Nexus 5 General] masterkamon842:
My problem was a little different. I'd get full signal and LTE, but the signal would only show it sending data but never receiving. Only way to get it to work would be putting it in and out of airplane mode. Oneplus One would do the same thing although less frequently. The issue mysteriously disappeared when I switched to a T-Mobile HTC M8.
[Nexus 5 General] jayRokk:
I'm having that same issue all of a sudden now. Weird. I always have at least 3 bars at home. Its fluctuating from no bars to out of service.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
I rember having this same problem on another phone. I forget which one. I wanna say a galaxy s2?
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Uh oh, this is weird. I was told my area wasnt being upgraded, i woulder if its secret or something
[Nexus 5 General] jayRokk:
Yeah I've had missed calls/text because of this. I didn't get a notice about upgrading towers or anything and when I spoke to T-Mo they game me the usual BS "Turn your phone off and on, make sure sim is in all the way... Yadda yadda yadda...."

Still happening.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Ya ive been through those scripted phone calles 10+ times and its always the same, i even went to a tmobile store when i first got my phone to see if it was the sim card. The rep changed it out and when the phone booted up, the first thing you see is the google logo with the unlocked icon at the bottem, he kept trying to swipe it thinking it would unlock the phone. Then slimkat started flashing and he kept trying to unlock it. It was hard to keep from laughing at him. They dont know squat
[Nexus 5 General] carhauler1969:
Always had the same issues with the N5 as the OP. It would lose signal sometimes 4 & 5 times a day & a reboot was the only way to remedy it (for me). Jumped to the LG G3 when it was released & it still occasionally has this problem but nowhere near as often as the N5 did.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
A friend of mine had this start happening to them, randomly out of the blue. They were on 4.4.4 and it worked fine for some time before.

He RMA'd and the replacement device is no longer consistently dropping signal. Same SIM card and network.
[Nexus 5 General] zevim2005:
Im having the same problems after updating to 4.4.4!
[Nexus 5 General] rfmodeler:
NSA is spying on you....

The reboot allows them to install malware.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
!

uh oh, better go get my tin foil hat!
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
No need. They use your phone not your brain. Also, no need to be snarky, this has been proven and admitted to be happening.
[Nexus 5 General] rfmodeler:
Wrapping your phone in foil might work. Although the whole non functioning phone thing might get annoying.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
maybe it will, maybe it wont, ill try not to hold it on the sides, with a space between the phone and my hand. worked for iphones.
[Nexus 5 General] :
If the NSA is watching YOU .... You're probably done anyway.... Cause you must have done something pretty bad. They'll get you soon enough. ?
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
well nothing to hide, they can snoop all they want. just dont slow down my phone while you do it please.
[Nexus 5 General] jab471:

[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
The NSA were shown to be collecting data on almost everyone for no reason. Man, no one watches C-SPAN haha.
[Nexus 5 General] anactoraaron:
I'm curious... Does this dropping only occur on LTE? Have you changed to 3g preferred in your network settings? One thing that I have noticed on this phone is if you have not so good LTE reception it tends to switch back to 3g. When I'm at home my phone will switch back and forth between LTE and 3g constantly - it's so irritating that I just switched the radio to 3g preferred and now have no issue. Since my LTE reception wasn't that great and my H+ reception was pretty good there wasn't much of a tradeoff there in speed.

I will say that compared to my wife's M8 the LTE radio seems weak on the N5. Not just in bars (although I don't understand how HTC & T-Mo can feel -113dbm is 3 frickin bars), but checking the actual signal strength side by side the M8 is consistently 2-4dbm better
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Yes it does only happen on LTE, although, i have a great signal all around town and hardly ever drop below 2 bars, i said a few posts back that i even tested it on a rooftop with a full signal, not trees or buildings around on a sunny clear day. It is either a faulty modem or their network. But probably tmobiles network
[Nexus 5 General] Kropolis:
People don't call it Terrible Mobile for nothing. That said, I use a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile and my only complaint is replacing a cracked screen is a tad pricey :). No reception issues whatsoever in the Oklahoma City metro area. I used to live in a small town 20 miles southeast of Tulsa and I knew the exact street where my 4G dropped to Edge only. It's probably their coverage area more than the device itself.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Well, i havent always had tmobile, but i had it for a year or two a while ago. I never had any problems in the inner city, but just like you say on the edges i would only get edge. But in the city i always had great service. Now that said, this is the first time having tmobile LTE, so it does make me think these guys are right about it being a network issue. I need to try another LTE phone on this network to be 100% sure.
[Nexus 5 General] Smallsmx3:
I have had plenty of issues on Tmo.... Instead of choosing a pre made APN I go to network operators and choose automatically..... I get a toast that tells me I'm registered on the network. I'm not saying it fixes everything, but things are better. I get H in my house when I only had E before I did this..... my network drops are down to once twice a day instead of 4 to 5. The biggest thing is my phone doesn't say that I'm %54 without signal anymore.... On the top end of things it's %10. It's worked for me. My battery life is a little better to now that my phone isn't always looking for a signal
[Nexus 5 General] jbowwow02:
I have the D820 model, but I don't love in the USA. So I don't get 4G on my phone (cause I bought the wrong model, derp). I have no signal loss on 3G but since your problem is on 4G and live in a different country I'm just gonna say good luck.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
And the second issue, Listen to that mic quality!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Ya so, i went back to the tmobile store and tried it on the m8 and no problems. Its gotta be the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Mine does it all the time, it's ridiculously annoying. I have had 4 N5's, and every single one had the same behavior. I have to toggle airplane mode to get it to lock back onto LTE. No other phone that I have owned has ever had problems staying on LTE in my area, only the N5. My Moto X has bulletproof LTE reception, and so does my iPad Mini Retina.
[Nexus 5 General] JCreazy:
I get "no service" all the time and my SMS won't send, I have to turn on airplane mode and turn it off again to send text messages. My signal is always week. I used my note 2 and never had issues with poor signal. It is definitely the phone. Then again, I have one from the first batch so I have GPS issues too.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
As I've re viewed the video I see that it looks more like a complete loss of service in both data and signal by the empty triangle. Maybe if the video shows before the phone had signal and then dropped it. That's what I was waiting for. I just don't get this issue at all and like I've said I get data drop but not signal drop in obvious areas where I know there's no data.
[Nexus 5 General] wulsic:
I think that google didn't coded/optimized the modem/ configurations properly. The device is good but it just has some software issues.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Thats correct, if you watch again, it was downloading the app just fine, got about 1/4 the way through and just lost all service. I just started recording just after it lost service. This is what mine does and its completely random, one day it wont happen at all, the next it will happen everytime i start a download, youtube video, etc. Anything that maxes out the bandwidth. If i just stream music or serf the web it never happens
[Nexus 5 General] jayRokk:
That's crazy talk.

Its clearly a carrier issue.
[Nexus 5 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=4435498]jayRokk[/MENTION] I dont belive its an carrier issue if it almost only occurs on the nexus line devices.nexus 4/5/7 just like with the wifi issues. It could be also an carrier issue.
[Nexus 5 General] jayRokk:
I had ATT with my N4. Never lost any signal. At all. I switched to T-Mobile, same device, and I would get a ton of signal loss.

Now that's clearly a carrier issue. My wife has an N5 too, not with Tmo and never drops signal. I have Tmo on my N5 and it drops signal from time to time. Its safe to say its on Tmo as I haven't experienced this with other carriers and I been thru a few.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
What do you guys think i should do to bring this to tmobiles attention. They obviously dont believe there is a problem
[Nexus 5 General] SpasilliumNexus:
It could be a location issue. I used to have this happen on both N4 and N5 with T-Mobile, but now that I saw this thread, I'm still with them and don't recall when the last time it happened.
[Nexus 5 General] fatherguido:
I had the same problem and fixed it by downgrading to an older radio.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I am sitting on my front stoop with my new iPhone 6 and what do you know... it's locked onto LTE. My Moto X works fine here too. It's just my N5 that's always on HSPA+ here. If I toggle airplane mode, I can sometimes get the N5 to lock onto LTE but it usually drops back down after a couple minutes. Hardly a carrier issue.

In the N5's defense, I haven't tried any other radios this time around but I had the same issue with my original N5 a year ago through multiple radio updates so I doubt trying different radios will help.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Is that just when the phone is idleing though? For instance if you try and load a webpage or a video, does it not switch up to LTE? I don't use LTE personally but my phone always sits on 3G and only jumps to H+ under network load, so I'm wondering if maybe that's the case with LTE as well.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
No, not just idling. It stays on HSPA+ no matter what I'm doing.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Something interesting for you folks. I just lost service a moment ago. I waited for it to come back on. But my phone rebooted. And i got this. What do you think?
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Hardware? Or software?
[Nexus 5 General] TheROMGuy:
Maybe show this to a google rep?

[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Just got off the phone with a rep, I sent them an email with a screenshot of the error, my video and a detailed description of my issues. Hope it helps.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Well, i cant believe it. But looks like android L fixes my network issues
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
im using the radio from the new Lollipop preview with kitkat, and its by far the most solid radio. when doing speed tests, it doesnt go up and down, it stay at a certain speed.
[Nexus 5 General] Andromendous:
Agreed, by far the best. Testing KK now, seems like its still fixed.
[Nexus 5 General] md1008:
I don't have the issues you describe but I can say that my n5 along with my GPE converted m8(full conversation not just a ROM) has significantly less signal than my throw away backup galaxy light and even my note 10.1(T-Mobile LTE) more signal and faster speeds.

Where I live though T-Mobile is probably the best carrier with in sane speeds.

I think generic radios less superior than carrier optimized radios
[Micromax A110] sheshnn:
Hi,

Am a newbie in problem resolution of phone. Looking for some tips.

I have a Micromax A110. And suddenly it started showing the screen with words and an option "Reset Phone". But that option never worked. Nothing happened when tried pressing that button.

So read some sites, and used the volume up + volume down + power button. Went into "recovery mode" using volume up.

(There was one more option with volume down: 'recovery mode')

Within that 3 options

Recovery Mode

Fastboot Mode

Normal Boot

Used Recovery Mode and did:

wipe data/factory reset. Completed.

wipe cache partition. Completed.

Now the mobile doesn't boot. It flashes the "CANVAS" and stays there forever.:(

What should I be doing now to boot my mobile / or make it usable? :(

I have never come across this in the past.

Also P.S: I have not rooted or updated the s/w in your terms. The problem started all on its own while I was riding!

Thanks,

Rgds, Shesha
[Micromax A110] sheshnn:
In continuation with the above, and the understanding thru the forum, did the following;

Installed the SP Flash Tool on to my Laptop.

Followed as per the below link

Reached and completed step 8, step 9 did as mentioned and there hasn't been any progress.

Had downloaded this file "MMX A110 Stock Rom V2 - 11th Dec + Flash Tools". This helped for both SP Flash Tool & ROM

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogueharvest:
I would really appreciate some help on this one... I attempted to flash the updated Mahdi Rom (09/20 build) this morning. I'm using the latest Philz Recovery if that matters. I performed the normal wipe procedure and when I went to flash the rom it told me the file was invalid. I think I might have tried to use a zip that wasn't fully downloaded.

I didn't have any other recoveries on my phone (I know... not smart) so I need to figure out how to flash a new rom without using recovery. I'm not completely hopeless and I'm willing to do what it takes to get my phone back!

Any help would be great! Thanks.
