I have seen a couple of comments around here about wifi problems.
I am not only seeing wifi drop for no reason at all but also having great difficulty in getting any signal at all for phone calls/texts.
Have other people experienced this and are there any ways to fix it?
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted but havnt flashed anything at all, I haven't even got a custom recovery.
Any help will be appreciated as this is currently making my phone useless

I should add that I am in the UK on O2 as I have seen people talk about it in the states but don't know if they would be related.

Hi
In recent weeks my phones connection to the network hasn't been available on and off and my Bluetooth has had issues too. I've spoken with my carrier and they assure me it's not their fault.
It seems to have gotten worse over time and I suspect it's a hardware issues after too many mis-caught dropped finger-slipped phone incidents.
I'm s-off rooted ARHD 6.8.0 3.32. Do you think there's a chance if I upgrade the firmware it may resolve it or am I flogging a dead horse?
Much appreciated.

Since fishing the factory images last week I have been experiencing a virtually nonexistent mobile network connection with my N5 on T-Mobile, basically 90% without connection where I used to get perfect reception. I've tried flashing the old radio, re-flashing Lollipop radio, factory reset, etc. Nothing helps. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this?

Did you do a full wipe? Reflash factory image?
I've done everything short of completely rehashing the factory images. Just factory reset the device an hour ago.

I'm on PTEL (part of Tmobile network). My cell data went to zero after I upgraded. Haven't left the house yet to see if it kicks in elsewhere, but looks like it's just not receiving it (since I use to get at least 2 bars).
Well, turns out it was a loose connection related to a recent screen replacement. Problem is solved, Lollipop not the issue. Kill the thread, dad.

Hello everybody,
I am using a Nexus 5 for a full year now and I noticed from the beginning that I never can get 3G signal, but when I am in the nearest city I van get 4G/LTE. Last week I wanted tot know more about it so I inserted my sim into another phone and immediately I had full 3G connection. So I updated to 5.1.0 with the new radio for 5.1.0 and I still couldn't get 3G. When I googled for 3g coverance I noticed I shoud've get full 3G. however only 2G and 4G works but the problem is that there is no 4G coverance in my hometown so I am stuck at the slow 2G. I'm in the netherlands and I already tried all options in *#*#4636*#*# but I still dont get 3G. also my apn settings are correct. so my last hope is to ask here if anyone knows what to do. I'll include a picture of my baseband version etc.

If it doesn't work after clean flashing factory images and trying different radio versions, it might be a hardware problem.
It's sad because I don't have any warranty anymore because I've opened the device up to replace the screen myself. Do I need to change the whole motherboard?

I recently upgraded into the note edge and I'm experiencing consistent service loss. Seems like anytime I use anything network related ( cell network ) after a very short period of time it drops signal and take 5 mins or so to reconnect.
It's running 4.4 android and there are no official updates available to me
I'm on the sasktel network. This is very frustrating as I really do love the device.
I don't believe it's a hardware issue I strongly believe it's software related.
I've googled and have found that the Sprint Edge was giving some people grief but I have seen few to no solutions (and the ones I've tried have done me no good)
Please help!
Ive got the sprint 915p and mine does the same thing. Very annoying. Inly way to stay connected 100% of the time is to stay on 3g which sux. It is a known issue from what i have seen. Some phones are said to work themselves out of it. Inwiped my sim card points down with alcohol and forced my phone to reprovision and do a hands free activation. Seems to have actually helped some.

I also experienced the same thing and I thought I am the only one. Mine is a Bell Note Edge and using it under Telus network. Since acquiring this one 2 weeks ago, it has been a constant pain. There are times when my network signal would drop from 5 bars to no service and lasts for about 2-5mins for every 10-15mins of each hour. I had replaced my old sim card and purchased a new one a few days after getting the Note Edge. There are times that restarting the phone would fix the issue for about a few mins then it would go back to no signal. There are times when my LTE would just hang for a good minute or so. No problems with wifi connection and data up/down is consistent.
I also believe that this is software related. I had the somewhat of a similar experience with my LG G2 but this was in regards to the Wifi d/c issue. I had to wait 2 months for a dev to look into the issue and when he did, i flashed the modded kernel and wifi was better after that. I also contacted Samsung Mobile and the customer rep mentioned that they are not aware of any issue, which meant he didnt know jack at all. Hopefully somebody figures this out. I had to revert to my Note II as my daily driver.
Ya i wish there was someone out there that knew what exactly the problem was and could fix it. Its annoying when someone on here says its a known issue and clearly there are people having problems and complaining about it then the service representative says they dont know anything about a known issue.

I had the same problem with sprint. Went there and found out that I had a bad phone. They ordered a replacement and swapped it out. No issues after that.

Ya im gunna do the same thing its just a matter of having time. They want to look at your phone and "replicate the problem" before they replace it. I have already sat there for an hour to tell me about certain towers being down. I guess it was working ok for them when they looked at it. Its not all the time for me. Its that every once and a while when i got time to kill and i dont have wifi that it decides to act up that pisses me off

I get that too. There are days and hours where my phone cell network signal works flawlessly. There are days when I could barely get a signal.
Ya its random with me too. After wiping all the pads on the sim with alcohol and doing a hands free activation ot seems to be doing a lot better though
