Hey, I'm a long time lurker, but new member of XDA. I installed the eagles blood 2.2 gingerbread 2.3.5 from to a fresh stock 2.3.3 g2x. Ive got two big problems. Wifi calling does not work because it says i have an invalid sim, and when on mobile networks i have no data connectivity, and it does not display if i am on 2g 3g or 4g. I am able to make calls and receive sms. Any input would be appreciated. I searched and could not find anyone in similar circumstances. Everything worked prior to flashing the new rom. Thanks
Hey first off eb is the best rom out there. Good choice next I dont know why the wifi calling would not work when you installed did you wipe everything? The one that I always forget is to format/system. You should wipe cache then do the data reset then go advanced and wipe the dalvik then go to mounts and storage and format/system. Then you are good to go for install of new rom. So I would reinstall again.
As for Data issue you will not see 4g,2g the dev changed the icon to 'H' for 4g. See tmo's 4g network is really their 3g network with improved antenna technology and I think boosted power so you will never see 3g on a g2x it is either 4g or 2g if you have 4g it might only be running at 3g speeds depending on time of day and where you are. The H stands for hspa+ which is the name of the 4g network hspa is 3g EDGE is 2g and finally GSM. So you will see H or E Or G I think I have never gotten E Or G only H but I have heard thats the format. All roms that are not 2.3.3 have a issue with this so if you do a hard reboot it should fix it ( hold vol up+power while the phone is on it will reboot and data will be back. Also when you reinstall the rom try letting it sit for 10 minutes before you sign into google. let me know if this helps

I did wipe everything, though i don't think in he exact order you said, would that make a difference? It was strange, at nt point would i get any sort of 2g 3g or h logo. Bars would light up, but like i said i could make calls but nothing data. And the wifi calling app would say invalid sim. I tried pulling the battery and sim and reinstalled a couple times with wiping.
Out of curiosity i wiped everything and installed the EB rom based on 2.3.3 and everything worked fine. Id really like to have the 2.3.5 based rom.
Ill try your suggestions and report back. thanks
Followed your instructions and wiped everything in that specific order and now things seem to work. WIFI calling works for the most part, every now and then it will say invalid sim, but rebooting usually fixes it. Thanks again
ive been running eclipse v1.4 with pbj kernel with no problems til this morning. ive completely lost data connection. already tried restoring back to a previously working backup in cwm but no luck. and tried restoring to stock with odin and flashing different modems still no luck.
i had tried out jt's latest ics rom about a week ago but restored back with no problems and had data working.
please help. any ideas would be great. my only other thought is that the sim is bad.
Sim could be bad Verizon will give you one for free if that is the case or could just be another data outage try putting your phone on 3g only and see if you have data
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
its what i figure. ive already tried toggling back and forth between 3g and 4g to get the radio to reset. nothing. toggle data on and off. still nothing
Might be a short outage on Verizon also. Been out in multiple cities today for a couple of hours at a time. Prepping for the expansion this week.
Charge-TwStock 1.4 / Bought this app!
so ive pretty much covered every thing that i can do right now?
i guess i just get to sit and wait.
ok, so what happened was,
I was on embryo 6.11 (a mod of the jellybean leak) and one day I noticed that my phone was off,
so i turned it back on, and it was stuck at the samsung logo,
so I attempted to do a nandroid restore, and my phone was unable to read my microSd card.
long story short my microSD got fried somehow (could not even reformat).
So I decided to try out CM10.1 so I formatted the system, and data, and flashed it,
I am using net10 with a tmobile sim card, so I selected the APN for it, and I was unable to access the internet,
no 3g/4g or even gprs, or what ever the other super slow one's called.
So I formatted data/system and flashed back to embryo, and used the radio I was using before,
and I set up the apn again, and no luck, just like with cm, I could make calls, and send/receive texts, but no data.
I made sure I had an IMEI, and that 'mobile data' was checked, but no luck,
I also tried the t-mo radio, but no luck (at&t radio give me better reception anyway..)
I read some other posts and followed their suggestions, such as flashing cm10 stable, then going to cm10.1
but nothing seems to work, could my 4g/3g antenna have been fried? is their any way to check that?

Finally got a hold of net10,
turns out, their 'unlimited data' dose not cover 12gb's of uploading in 3 weeks
... they 'suspended' my data use.

I was uploading a bunch of youtube videos, 1080p, mp4/aac (my home internet has terrible upload speed)
they were each about 1.5-2GB I'd been doing that for a while, so I figured it'd be ok,
But I guess they finally caught on to me. (lol)
I was running a Jellybam rom on 4.2 about a month ago and I decided I would upgrade to a 4.3 rom. Up until then my data was working normal and I could get 3g just about all around town. So after searching I settled for the ;latest PAC-man rom on 4.3 and loved the features it came with. Theres only one issue though...Now when i turn my data on and wifi off to access 3g or 4g I am extremely lucky if I even get a 1x signal. I am talking once in a blue moon this will happen. I know my data is working thought because when I download or send a MMS, I will instantly get 3g or 4g but as soon as it is finished, all data is lost again. I have tried going back to Jellybam and reinstalled PAC but nothing helps fix it. This is really becoming annoying now because I cannot use gps or pandora in my car anymore. Please help!
Started a couple days ago, using straight talk AT&T sim on my nexus 5, Data and text messages work fine, but whenever I try and make a phone call the signal drops completely and calls won't connect. People been telling me when they try to call it goes straight to voicemail. I'm running stock rom. Any suggestions? Straight talk and Google both with no help.
Have you tried a different sim card from like a friends phone to make sure its not the phone itself? You can also try to call ATT to see if its on their end.

Swapped sims with my wife. Mine worked on her phone hers didn't on mine. Think it might be a hardware issue on my phone and I got it on Craigslist so I think I'm screwed
Sounds like it definitely is a hardware issue now or something with the Sim tray. Sorry to break it to ya. Hopefully you can work something out with the guy on Craigslist.

Thanks. I have had the phone for about 4 months with no issues. I K of its not the sim tray because I still get data and texts and I can receive calls sometimes if I have dull reception somewhere. It just started all of a sudden, pretty frustrating
I just the same issue today as you. It was a ROM issue. I was on PA. I switched to aokp for now.

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.

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.
Flash factory images then.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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 ??

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.
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.
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.

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.
