Wifi tethering issue on sprint (and possibily also other network)? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seem to have wifi tethering issue with my nexus 5 on sprint. It's detecting LTE and 3G signal fine and I can use the phone browser, etc. But with hotspot enabled, my tablet can connect to the nexus 5 fine. Just that the tablet doesn't detect that there is internet at all. Wondering if sprint pushed something into my phone when i have it connected to sprint initially.
Anyone has this issue and on sprint?

Search the forum, there is a fix. You'll have to be rooted.

Can you send a screenshot of what it says when you make a call?

It goes into the normal call screen, but doesn't ring or anything. It just says "Called Ended" It will end the calls even before they are connected. Also when people call me they tell me that it just goes immediately to voice mail, it doesn't even ring on their end. :silly:
Do you see signal on your side at all? What's the provider?

And did you flash Anything else? A different gapps? Possibly a dialer app?

Try going to the app drawer, go to the phone app, tap and hold, and drag it up to "App Info" then try clearing app data and cache and see if that works.

This is usually caused by someone forcing LTE ONLY on their device. You cant make calls over LTE so it is looking to switch to 3g/H and it cant. You need to check your settings:
open dialer
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)

Update profile, no lte?

So I updated my prl and profile yesterday, and since then I have no lte connection. So far I completely wiped and reinstalled my rom, tried to reactivate service, cleared my apns and installed Sprints apn file... I'm at a loss as to what to do, any advice?
I'm in the same boat.. Did you ever find a fix?
I haven't, tried everything I know to try... I'm wondering if it's an issue with sprint...
Well the girlfriend hasn't complained about her N5 yet. I've tried a new modem , APN, field test and *#*#4636#*#*
Lost LTE on Sprint yesterday too after just rebooting my phone. I've done everything thing I can think of to get it back and nothing. Just get a empty triangle until it gives up and goes to 3G. Stopped at Sprint today to see if they had a SIM card, so I could see if my SIM card was corrupted before buying a new phone. Of course, they didn't because Sprint stores are the most useless places on Earth. Was thinking about how I wanted to go about buying a new phone, but now this seems like it might not be an isolated incident.
For those that are wondering, so far I have:
- updated prl/profile
- turned radio off and on
- reflashed the radio
- factory reset fresh install
- factory reset fresh install and flash the old sprint fix .zip (figured I'd try it for the hell of it)
- Went to a Sprint store to see if they had a different SIM to try (they didn't)
Really need to figure out if this is a hardware issue, SIM issue, or something stupid that Sprint did. I was leaning towards hardware, but if a few people from Sprint all had this happen to them on the same day...

Thanks for making me wipe my phone Sprint!

So that was weird... LTE dropout specific to the Nexus 5 on Sprint. At least it came back before I went out and bought a new phone.

It may be all triband devices, no way to confirm...
I can't seem to make any phone calls, but I have data. Damn this is weird

Well that's weird for me then. I can get on here from my phone yet I can't call my voicemail.. They must be upgrading something
Any of you guys think data speeds picked up a bit since this happened? Could just be a fluke, but I'm getting faster download speeds ATM.

Mine seems to be faster too, especially inside

Toggle 3g and LTE automatically

I have stock rooted (xposed and Gravity box) with 4.4.4
Since lte signal is terrible at my home I would like to toggle automatically to 3g when home and LTE otherwise.
I do use tasker for some automation. However I could not find a way to toggle lte and 3g automatically.
Any help is appreciated

You could use a recycled NFC Tag.

Android 6 for Note 5 Verizon is here.

Mine is downloading the update as I type this...more to follow.
If you'd be so kind, could you verify for all of us whether FoxFi will continue to work after the update (along with screenshot evidence)? That would be awesome of you.
Please update us on overall performance. I refuse to upgrade unless there's confirmed feedback of overall performance improvement after the fiasco I went through with my beloved note 4

Foxfi Works fine for me!

Auto bright does not work well for display and cache cleaner apps not working. The stock browser with adblock fast app is cool. No more ads.
Has anyone created a list of apps they disabled with package disabler and this update by chance?

TOMTOM go APP - Download card at home on sd card

Hey Mates,
just feeling like a noob this time .... is it possible to download the tom-tom mobile cards at home, put it on a sd card and then in the Unit in Car?
I cant get a WIFI connection with my house. So I always connect over hotspot on my mobile ... but 1 gig would drain my data plan
With tt I never tried, with sygic the folder for maps is under Android/data. See if you can find the folder on your phone, should be the same as on the head unit.

What you can do for the future: buy a USB to rj45 connector and roll out a network cable to your car from your router. That downloads maps a lot faster. I have one works great !
