hello all,
when i'm on mobile data sometimes currently i found my phone get overheated and then the airplane mode turns on automatically and mobile data says that's turned off because of radio signal, i attached the photo of the problem, and to restore the connection i must turn off the phone for 15 min. or so.
is there any solution for this problem?
Is your phone unlocked and rooted? If so you probably need to try a different radio.

No, It's not rooted
It sounds to me like a radio issue. Have you contacted tech support to see if it's still under warranty?

Unfortunately the HTC agent in Egypt isn't good enough and didn't reply for either of my mails
You can unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery etc and then you can change the radio yourself. It may or may not help the situation though, it's possible you have a hardware fault too.

How i could do that, and how i can know if it's a hardware fault or not?
You'll only know if it's a hardware problem if no radio fixes your problem. Is your phone the at&t model? If it is it'll have the at&t logo at the top of the screen.
You should check your signal strength, go into Settings/About Phone/Network and tell me what it says under signal strength.

No, It's not at&t.
Signal strength, -91 dBm 11 asu
Ok well your strength isn't great, that's fairly low. If you really want to you can go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. We should check your bootloader details first. To get into bootloader turn your phone off, once it's completely off hold the volume down button and then the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader, I only need to see the first four lines.

no it only turns back after you reboot...
Entering a new APN should do the trick. Not sure what you should use on Rogers or Virgin. But for AT&T, they have different APNs for LTE versus non-LTE phones. So entering the APN info for non-LTE seems to disable LTE.
That dialer trick doesn't work, all of the options not containing LTE revert back to the original right after you select them.

This may disable it but it doesn't turn off the LTE radio in your phone. It still searches for an LTE signal and still yields the same battery life.

Depends on your goal. If you are in a fringe LTE coverage area, this will solve connection problems, and thereby improve battery drain to some degree.
But I see what you are saying. It prevents connection to a certain LTE network, but doesn't turn off the LTE radio.

i remember now.... i flashed back the rogers radio after I flashed 1.85 ruu
I just got my Nexus 5 and I haven't root it yet. I notice that everytime I don't use my phone 5-10 minutes or hours, the signal will be lost and asking to reboot my phone. I can't tell when it's up or not. Sometime I take multiple reboot to get signal back up then it happens again and again. Is there a way to fix this problem without rooting? I don't think it's the Sim Card because I used it on my nexus 4 without any problem. or Just my device isn't good one. Please help!

I didn't root my phone yet, and I'm running 4.4.2 now. It's annoying to keep losing signal and it's back again. Even I have signal, I only have 1 bar compare to my old Nexus 4 has 3 bar or HTC one full bar.
I don't want to root it if its not solve this problem, I will have to return it.
There was an issue on 4.4 where it would randomly give you the "emergency only" message. You would have to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off, or reboot. But people have been saying it was fixed with 4.4.1/4.4.2.

The radio however sucks in 4.4.2 and was better in 4.4.1
perhaps we may see 4.4.3 to fix this?

I think it might be overall worse, but luckily I actually didn't see any decrease in signal in my area. I was really worried about it because I already have really bad signal in my house but 4.4.2 doesn't seem to be worse for me.
You guys forget to mention that Google cheaped out on the antenna to cut costs. Best you can do is to flash your carrier's radio over the generic one

I'm sorry, but you're dead wrong. SO much misinformation here. First off, there is no "carrier" or "generic" baseband. There is only one baseband. Second, antenna design requires a lot of engineering to maximize signal efficiency when you're dealing with interference from such things as wifi, nfc, Bluetooth, metal construction in the phone, etc.. I'm not sure what magical material you think that cell antennas should be made of that will solve issues?
I just got off of the phone with Sprint. They show that there is an internal memo on the issue and LG is aware of it. They will be pushing an update as soon as it's ready. Sprint will also be pushing an update for the Airave to help with the issue. The support rep told me that it is an issue where the wifi and LTE radios aren't playing nicely together and causing a conflict. That's why everything seems to work fine when 3G is set as a preferred network.
It's an issue that still hasn't gotten fix as seen here.

The issue seem to be gone after couple days. I checked signal strength app, it shows same even though it shows only 1 bar.
I have a HTC Sensation 4g that i got and repaired and switched over to it from my inspire 4g. My inspire would hit 3g great where i am and beyond it at times. So i thought the Sensation 4g would be the same but so far all it will do is 2g for some reason. Have checked APN, making sure WCDMA preferred is set and nothing still 2g but can take my sim stick back in the inspire and bam 3g and more....Not really sure what is going on here...Have searched alot but have not found any real answers yet and hoping perhaps somebody here might know something...So far i have learned a great deal about the android system from here and hoping there is something that can be done. Really like the sensation so far except for the fact its only got a 2g connection...Thought it could be the sim card but then it would not work in my inspire then, so that is ruled out....also went as far as trying different roms thinking maybe different firmware maybe, but nope nothing so far at all. It is rooted and S-off if that matters. Currently has 3.32 firmware and unlocked. Currently running Revalation. If anymore information is needed let me know.....

Update to 3.33 universal. You can find that on the first post if the help thread. Point 13 I think.
Otherwise, do an Ruu. I would recommend the above, as at the very least, you get the latest radios.
VERIFY MD5 BEFORE FLASHING. Make sure you have 70% or more battery. A wrong flash of 3.33 will get you a hard brick, but don't worry as long as you take above precautions.
Happy to help.

Unfortunately buying and activating a sim card from another network just to see if it was gonna work was something i did not have money for...I have spoke with HTC and confirmed what i wrote in the other post about this being a T-Mobile phone and specific to certain bands...and unless the network i use has that specific band it will never work for 3g. Unless there is a way to reprogram the radio frequencies it is a limitation all T-mobile sensations have sadly....but I have found another company that runs on the bands this phone needs to run so will be switching to the new company next month.

Well your radio is off. Try entering *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app. The Phone Information, then scroll down to where it says LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and the button below should say "Turn off radio". If your's says "Turn on radio", thats the problem.
BTW, use the quote button next time so I get notified when you reply to me.

Try flashing the factory image. I had a similar problem. I re flashed the factory cache.img and it fixed it for me, but I would re flash everything.
I also have the same problem. I feel that there is something wrong with N5 antenna. It shows 0 dBm at my home. My other phone with the same sim pickups 1-2 bars of signal.
Strange...my N5 is doing the same thing now. No signal at all. Hopefully this isn't some widespread issue.

Hey man I had the exact same problem it just progressively kept getting worse and finally I couldnt get the signal to come back no matter what I did. I took the back panel off and cleaned everything and now my signal is solid as a rock. I reccomend you try it. Check Ifixit to see how to remove the back panel its pretty easy.
Nexus 5 no signal fix
NEXUS 5 NO SIGNAL FIX, I finally fixed my Nexus 5! I downgraded to 4.4.0. At first I had 4g LTE signal and then noticed that I would lose all signal the moment it jumped to GSM and the signal would not come back anymore. So I had to reflash 4.4 again and set the radio to LTE only! To set the radio to LTE only type *#*#4636#*#*. I also flashed different radio bands, now on KRT01B 0.15. (also cancelled all aplication updates in google store, don`t know if has anything to do with it)
same issue!

Hi! Got the same issue, tried every possible solution, but none of them could make the radio work. Could you explain in more detail how you cleaned it up?
Also having a similar issue to this - interested in the method you used to clean it? I fear that its some hardware issue that was somehow triggered by my phone running out of battery completely. Weird thing is everything else appears to work fine.

Can you give more detail or specifics, and quantify this at all? "Very weak" doesn't really tell us anything.
For example: you can't get WiFi unless you are standing right next to the router, when you could get a signal 50' away before.
For me, this situation seems like someone has used the AT&T RUU for a non AT&T phone.
