Is there a fix for this or should I just roll back?

Would also like to know this too. It takes 30-40 secs to get signal in certain locations that use to take 5 secs tops!

can i get a link to that radio

Yea the new radio blows. Flashed back the old one an everything is back to normal

All fine for me, although I did a factory reset after applying the OTA (which I do after all OTAs)

I am trying this now will report back with results.

OP, out of interest, are you talking about 3G speeds, WiFi or both?

I think you need to be at least on an unlocked boot loader.
then you can fastboot flash it directly or install a custom recovery and flash a .zip version from there

Has anyone else 4g signal dropped on 4.4.2

If you're from Europe, you will not have 4g. On the other side, everything works like a charm. I have a nexus 5 from US and i'm from Romania.

Yes ... only LTE / 4G ... Europe basebands does not included on D820

Phone is unlocked but you will need the rest of the world model versus the USA model.
Bootloader is locked we have entire threads dedicated to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905

I qouted you
Nearly correct. D820 is North America D821 is rest of world.
Only difference is LTE bands so should be good up to DC-HSPA

[Q] CM11 total loss of signal

I flashed the latest nightly yesterday. Everything was great. Then last night I had a total inability to make or receive phone calls. I thought it might just be an install issue so I did a reinstall and unfortunately same resuts. Im using radio m8974a-2.0.50.1.13..... is this the issue. It works perfectly on stock 4.4.3 and im rooted. I like the rom but need my phone to work. Any suggesions?

Did you have no signal or just did it not recognize your SIM?

If relevant, does your carrier require anything special? (e.g. Sprint users need to flash a fix for APN or something, I wouldn't know as my carrier doesn't need anything)
Was it working at any point in time while on the ROM, or was it like that on first installation?

I use at&t it worked at first for about an hour then stopped. I think it has something to do with the new 4.4.3 stuff. 4.4.2 was fine.
BTW this also happened to a few people on another custom ROM when they went from 4.4.2 to .3. They had to revert to stop also.

Maybe it's just the specific ROM? I suggest you try another first. I have no issues with 4.4.3

[Q] Nexus 5 Rom for Android 4.3

Hi everyone,
Does Nexus 5 support Android 4.3. I am going to test a software compatibility issue. So is there any problem to flash 4.3 to my Nexus 5 ROM? Thanks.

there isnt anything 4.3 available for the nexus 5, so you cant just flash it. theres no 4.3 source for it, no binaries, no code at all meant for the nexus 5 and 4.3. so, how do you expect to just flash it?

Sorry, I don't quite get you.
Can I download factory images occam 4.3 for Nexus 4 from "developers.google.com/android/nexus/images", and flash it into Nexus 5. I am wandering if it works.

No. Nexus 5 was released with KitKat 4.4. There are no nexus 5 "drivers" that exist that will work with 4.3 because the nexus 5 did not exist then.

D821 with LTE in the USA???

I bought a Nexus D821 and now I can't get LTE in the USA. Is there a way to flash the radio to think it's a D820 and make the LTE work? Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the move.
