Help! Phone calls keep disconnecting - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus 5 is currently running cataclysm Rom (26th Nov) and elemental x 0.8 kernel. When I call anyone via Bluetooth the phone works perfectly. However when I use the handset as normal, the phone randomly and quickly automatically hangs up. The network connection is very good with max signal.
I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but even doing it away from my head it still does it.
Can anyone help?

Do you have sweep2wake or doubletap2wake enabled?
There was a problem with the touchscreen still being active while the screen was off during calls. Your cheek could accidentally hit the end call button.
I fixed this in version 0.9.

I do have doubletap2wake. Im upgrading now, so iwll see if it helps. Thanks mate!

Text messages delayed over WiFi?

Just wondering if anyone else has this same issue.. I'm running rastakat 4.4.2, and Franco 23 along with the latest radio and bootloader. When I'm at home on my WiFi, I'm receiving texts very late. If I switch off my WiFi, sometimes I'll get 3 or 4 texts at once, like they were waiting for my WiFi to be off... Anyone else had this experience? Any fix? Thanks for any help...

Yes, this is a pretty well known 4.4+ bug. When connected to Wifi and LTE, incoming calls and texts are not coming through. Google is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.
I haven't determined if this happens all the time or if something triggers this bug, but I'm seeing it pretty much daily. You can search XDA for this issue and it's all over the place.
The way I got around it was to have Tasker turn off my data when I'm connected to my home or work wi-fi. When I leave home or work, Tasker then turns my data back on. This guarantees my calls and texts come through when they're supposed to. Since doing this, I haven't seen the issue again.

Thanks for the info... Your response helped me avoid flashing my ass off trying to figure it out.. I'll have to wait for Google, I just bought tasker and I'm lost.. Thanks again!

I should add to this that if you do it the way I described above, you won't receive MMS since they rely on data. Regular text messages will still come through though.
I just realized this. I'm going to try and find a way to turn off LTE while switching the phone into 3G, since the problem lies in the LTE antenna. There's a way to do this in Tasker but I think you need to be on a custom ROM.

[Q] screen won't come on

twice now when I press my power button my phone won't turn on. it seems to happen randomly, i pull it out of my pocket and I can't get it to turn on. I end up having to hold the button for like 30 seconds? and then it hard-restarts and everything is back to working fine.
I'm using Cataclysm with Franco.kernel
Qi still beeps when i set my phone on it.
think this is a rom/kernel issue or hardware?
cataclysm + franco gets such amazing battery life :victory:

I don't know about that!! B/C I'm using the same ROM from day 1 no problems like that. I suggest flash another kernel see what happens:good:
I also had this problem about 3 or 4 times. I was always using stock kitkat and it happened with both stock kernel and franco kernel.
i swapped it up completely and am running KANGAKAT with elementX. we'll see what happens! thanks for the answers everybody.
Had the same issue. Called goggle to get RMA. It just arrived today. The sad part is this one is going right back because everytime I try to install a widget, the launcher crashes (stock launcher and 3rd party). I barely have any apps installed at this point. Looking like a faulty device. My original works fine besides the random instance of the screen not coming back on. Thought I was the only one since I started a topic about this a few weeks ago and got no replies. I'm 100% stock and unrooted

This problem started with me after I installed the Franko Kernel.
Spent the whole night reverting to stock.
Not sure what I uninstalled, but my widgets are now working again. Still no idea what causes the screen to randomly not turn back on. Hoping this one doesn't have the same issue

Disconnection issues?

Ok I just got the watch and had major issues with the first one so I exchanged it.. This one works alot better but it appears it can't keep a connection, it says it connected but some apps stop being able to communicate. Like the phone finder app will show that's it's loading then it just does nothing...

I´ve got the same issue with a Xperia Z1 compact (Android 4.3)
Sometimes it also looses connection and cannot reconnect until rebooted (the watch rebooted!)
Anyone else?
Cheers, Jorge

OK so the issue started when impaired my headset to my phone also, even though that headset isn't on the watch stopped wanting to connect. Just unpaired it and the watch connected again

Hrmm... I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here except to mention that I am running the SW2 with a Nexus 5 as well and I frequently connect a bluetooth headset at the same time and I haven't run into any bluetooth connection issues so far. I've had the watch for 2-3 months now, I do remember having to update the firmware once when I first got it... perhaps reset the watch and check to see if you have the latest firmware?
I have problems like this too. This watch seems to have interference issues. My bluebuds X constantly disconnect when I'm on a call with my SW2 connected. Worst part is they never make a sound, I just stop hearing my caller, and I eventually check the phone and see they've been dropped to the headset and I've been talking to myself.
Music also disconnects the headphones occasionally, but it's not frequently enough for it to be a big problem. Calls on the other hand disconnect like every 30 seconds.
Update: I no longer blame my SW2 for this issue. They headphones disconnect when the watch is not connected. The phone disconnects from other A2DP devices. I'm blaming my phone now.

Are you running stock ROM and kernel or custom? I am running SlimRom and stock kernel and have no issues keeping the watch connection with a LG Tone+ headset.

I tried everything. Finally got fed up and returned it for the pebble. 2 days of frustration

Same issue here with a Wiko King (Micromax A110 clone).
Sometime all is ok, sometime no :crying:
For me, disable and enable BT is the workaround.
Fixed

With the Android 4.4 update problem has gone.
Same for me, my watch disconnect ... from my Nexus 5
But the last Android version (of course, it's the Nexus) doesn't solve anything.
I hope a lot has been done with the following SW2 firmware to solve this issue.
My wife was having disconnect issues as well using MIUI rom, then she moved to CM and no more issues

I have the same issue, BT-connection suddenly drops out, mostly after some notifications happen within a short period of time, after which only a reboot of the watch gets it going again. So to me it looks very much like a watch-problem, not like a phone related.
I have same problem.
On phone it looks like connected but on watch is not. When tried to turn off bluetooth my phone reboots itself.
Start to happen after last update, my first tough was sth wrong with my rom. Reinstalled my rom, still same. Finally returned to stock and problem persist.
As it happen after last update it looks is related. Yesterday I got smartwach update but not resolved.
Using with Sony SP.

Just a shot in the dark: are you all using wristn! ?
I replaced this with watchify tnis afternoon and havent had a single disconnect since then.
Might be coincidence, tho.
