T-mobile call dropping issues? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and it was fine and all except for today. I go on wifi and sometimes I don't even recieve calls like I am suppose to.
As for LTE, it switches from LTE to H to 3G quite a lot; one time it even switched to edge for no reason.
Also, it dropped a call not to long ago.
I live in dayton Ohio and I wanna know what is up. Is the tower having problems? Is something wrong with the Nexus 5? What's up?

No, I personally haven't got any dropped calls, but I have heard of other people getting them. My only issue sometimes is people telling me they have been texting me and me never receiving the message.

I was to. What fixed it for me was switch to M8974A-1.0.25.0.15 modem. Deleting all but the fast.Tmobile APN. And changing the APN type to (default,supl,mms,admin,dun). Can't guarantee that this will fix it for you.

[Q] Bad Signal on NS4G

I just got the phone but I can't get very good signal. Any reason how to fix this?
I updated prl but it still happens.

Network signal quality ?
Sprint doesn't have a so good quality network reputation
Maybe call in to sprint and ask about an "airrave"
I am in the same room with an Evo 3d. It gets a constant 4 bars, and can receive calls all day. My Nexus S misses about 50% of its incoming calls. (And often has 0 bars/no signal/emergency calls only, etc.)
It has been that way since day one... Any non-Nexus phone has no issues on Sprint, but the Nexus has nothing but problems. For now, I just live with it.
Lesson learned: Stay away from phones on Sprint that have signal issues. It will never get fixed.
I just talked with some of my friends on Sprint and they are getting a bad signal also. My friend has a 4S and can't connect to 3G at all since yesterday and my friend with the Epic has grey bars. It seems better than yesterday though since I actually have 2 bars in 3G.
When the NS4G first came out there were multiple complaints about the bad quality of both the phone and the data signals. People were hoping that the fault lied in the software and would be solved by updates. Well, several updates later, I don't see much difference.
The poor signaling is almost certainly hardware-based, and Sprint is not going to do anything about it at this late date.

Incoming calls going directly to Voicemail

I'm in an LTE area (NYC). When I'm at home, incoming calls to my Samsung Skyrocket go straight to voicemail even though I have 2-3 bars reception. I can make outgoing calls, surf, send/receive texts. Elsewhere in the city, I don't seem to have this issue, though every now and then the calls will randomly go to voicemail.
AT&T have been trying to sort out the issue - replaced my SIM, rebuilt my file (whatever that means), run some network tests but haven't been able to solve the issue and are about to tell me to go the HTC if I want LTE.
We have AT&T 3G iphones & blackberries at home and they have had zero issues, it's not that the home is in a bad reception area. so this is either a phone/handset issue or a LTE network issue (I hear that only data travels on the LTE network, voice goes on 3G, so perhaps there's an issue with that setup?)
Wondering if anyone is having similar issues and/or have thoughts on how to fix this. I really like this phone and I'd like to keep it.
The phone is totally stock.
Many thanks.
I'm seeing that every once in a while here in SF where they just turned on LTE. I find that I have 1or 2 bars on LTE vs 4 bars on HSPA+ in my office. I just assumed it was switching between networks or the LTE coverage was poor as this doesn't happen all the time.

I had that same issue! and that is why i was looking for the answer, until a second ago.... have you recently installed Lookout? or any other "missing phone software"?? because i uninstalled lookout and i can now receiving calls. try it out, or think back to when it was working, and what has changed since then. Hope it helps.

LTE/HSPA+ handoff issues?

Recently there have been more and more occasions where my phone has gone from 4G LTE to "4G", but when I try to use the data, I am told I have no network connection. I would then turn airport mode on then off (or restart), and the data would start working again on "4G".
This especially happens if I have only one or two bars on "4G". I'm suspecting there is a problem handing off from LTE to HSPA+. Either that, or the phone is not reading how strong my reception really is.
Anyone else seeing this problem? I'm in one of the unofficial LTE markets, LA.
I'm not in LA, but i haven't had any of the problems you mentioned. I would imagine the hand-off issue is why AT&T has not officially announced LTE in LA.
Having similar issues. Problem sending sms, mms, and no data connection. Have to keep hitting retry in android market...

Same issue here, seems like it is a problem specific to LTE. my phone AND my elevate 4g hotspot device are both having the same connectivity issue when in a LTE market so i dont think it is the device, but more of an LTE issue.
When i traveled to a HSPA+ only area the connectivity issues we gone on both devices.
I have not had the issue since having att change my plan to lte

Yep, the issue is well known, but AT&T has yet to admit to it or fix it. I think it mostly happens in areas that are right in the area between a weak LTE signal and a weak 4G signal (as you mentioned). Apparently, AT&T's towers don't do a very good job at handling the switch very well. Possibly a registeration problem? It's as if the towers keep kicking the phone back and forth and the end end result is no data connection until you move a little closer to one of the towers.

I think this is the case, too. I didn't have this problem before they switched on LTE. It didn't have much trouble going between Edge and HSPA+.
I'm in LA, and this has happened to me more than a few times. Data doesn't work, so I turn on airplane mode, and turn it back on, and it starts working again.
Yesterday was an overall terrible day for general connectivity issues. Not sure if the network was having problems but I missed 2 of my calls for a few hours, couldn't send text. When I finally made a call out, the voicemails came in. After I was successfully making calls, I couldn't dial out at one time, so I had to restart my phone.
I actually have a customer having this issue...but ot is affecting his voice calls. he lives right between two towers and his phome will not commit to one over the other.

Same problem in Atlanta, an official LTE market. When it works, the speeds I get blow away cable - 25 Mbs down/ 15 Mbs up, BUT, any attempt to text a message with an attachment always fails. In addition, many of the notifications for network events never occur, or if they do, they occur hours, if not days later. Finally, an age old problem that ATT has never cared to resolve. Voice mail sits on their server for days without notifying me its there, then i get this deluge of several days of old voicemail. Know lots of people in ATL have had this experience. It's the inability to rely on notification of key messaging events (incoming call missed, missed while on phone, missed whil away, etc and same with textx and email that concerm me most.
Same here in DC...of course when I use the HSPA only APN i have no problems....but no LTE though.

Problems with Sprint Airave and Nexus 5

Ever since I got my N5, my Airave won't recognize it! The three beeps (on the phone) that indicate the Airave detects the phone aren't present. Dialing *99 to get the Airave to detect the phone results in a "code not valid" message. I'm getting calls going directly to voicemail when I'm at my house. It's horrible! Sprint reps naturally are no help. They say there's no incidents reported, and they try refreshes and all kinds of nonsense.
I've tried hard resetting the Airave to no avail. I've tried rebooting the N5, power cycling, you name it. Nothing works.
Anyone else having this issue? What are you doing to resolve it?

No. Changing to 3g didn't help. If anything, connection was worse. Or at least it seemed so.
Thanks, though.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yep having the same issue. It's a definite problem that's posted on the Sprint forums as well.
The mobile network 3G change might work but is not a fix. I have 0% 3G signal at my house and just about a single bar LTE. If I change to 3G only while at home and drop off the Airave, call lost. At least on LTE, I have a fighting chance of keeping the call.
As of yet, I have heard no reply from Sprint.
Just got off the phone with Sprint. Third time. They pushed a PRL update to the Nexus 5. The phone still isn't beeping, which indicates a connection to the Airave. But I'm getting a *slightly* better connection. They told me that even if they sent a new Airave, it wouldn't help much, as all the phones in my house (my son also has a Galaxy S4) are on LTE, and the Airave works with 3G. I asked if there was any point, then, to having the Airwave. He insisted there was.
I don't know, you guys. These Sprint reps make little sense.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
What do you know. I ran the PRL update and verified that mobile network stayed as LTE. Rebooted. Dialed *99 and connected to Airave!
Maybe give it a day and try to update the PRL again. It obviously worked for me.
If you're in a location with an Airave you've got to also have an internet connection. Use wifi for data in that case. The Airave is there to improve phone calls and SMS, which are not using the data connection. The Airave data connection will allow some functions that insist on carrier-based data, but shouldn't have anything to do with a regular phone call. MMS functionality may be questionable.
Not to bump an older thread but I figured I'd post my experience with the airave in case any other people were looking for advice.
The tri-band phones and LTE are sort of the problem. Mostly because they want to use that sweet eHRPD to hand-off between LTE and EV-DO. The airave (including the 2.5+) obviously can't hand-off between LTE and 3G and that is sort of the crux of the issue. Newer tri-band phones will sometimes ignore the airave completely despite poor or intermittent LTE signal. So, while my wife's Nexus 5 was pleased as punch with the airave mine was too busy humping a tower to the west of my home to care.
The common fix to this problem is to either turn on Wifi or set your preference to 3G and see if your phone will pick up the airave (assuming, of course, you've updated your Profile and then your PRL). Neither of those worked for me so I called up the airave support at Sprint and they pushed a corporate PRL to my phone and my Nexus 5 now hangs out on the airave when I'm at home. I haven't moved around town enough to tell whether or not this particular PRL will pull local towers when I'm away from the airave. As an imperfect solution I backed up my EFS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095) in case I need to change/update PRLs when I'm out and about.

[Q] T-Mobile Z3 MMS issues from VoLTE?

I have the T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z3. Since getting Lollipop, a few of my previous issues SEEMED to have been resolved. But now it seems that the only way for me to ensure I get my MMS (photo and/or group) and even sometimes SMS messages is to disable VoLTE on my phone. VoLTE allows you to make calls using your LTE (digital) line, which means 1) You can get 4G LTE when using internet while ON a call and 2) Your calls will use the LTE line which is supposed to give you better sound quality on your calls and 3) The calls will connect faster as well.
So because I have to disable VoLTE, I no longer can benefit from it. I don't know for sure if disabling it has fixed my MMS/SMS issues b/c I just disabled it last week, but so far it seems to have done the trick.
Does anyone have similar issues happening? Any thoughts on whether this is Sony's fault or T-Mobile's?? The Lollipop update from Sony included VoLTE improvements, and I noticed that it did help with Smart Call Handling. Before Lolli I had to disable that for SCH to work, but now I don't. But VoLTE was causing MMS issues before too, and now it seems it still is?
I want to get the Z5 when it comes out, but issues like these really annoy me b/c I have no idea if they will ever get fixed or not. If not, then the Z5 will have it too. I may just go back to HTC as I didn't have issues with MMS on it besides the stock app on BOTH phones (and even on the Samsung S6 Edge) sucking for various reasons, not just MMS-related (Samsung). But once I switched to Chomp SMS on the M8, everything was fine. Now the same maker of Chomp made Textra and I use that, so will prob continue to. So if Sony doesn't fix this and esp if HTC continues to improve its camera, maybe I will go back?

VoLTE is enabled on mine and the few MMS's I have sent so far, went through fine.
As for VoLTE I agree it's better to have it working due to the benefits but it will not work across carriers. AT&T and Verizon however I believe are working to enable cross carrier VoLTE across their networks and I believe they are not including TMO or Sprint.
your SN is quite familiar lol
iono i honestly think it's like a tmobile problem. i've had this problem with the iphone 6 as well when enabling volte. once disabled, it works fine. i never did quite figure it out though as some phones work fine with it, and others don't.
Hey abhinav,
It's not really about them going through, it's about me NOT always getting them that's the issue.
I know that it works on T-Mobile. The issue is that when it's enabled, it seems to be causing issues with me receiving some of my text messages, esp MMS ones.
RockStar2005
sillie,
Ok? lol My screen name or abhinav's? I don't recognize yours so not sure.
Yeah I agree, but I don't know that for sure. But like I said, T-Mobile is known for having issues with MMS, esp the stock apps on their phones not being able to display MMS messages properly (i.e., you can only see the sender and yourself in a group MMS message, not the other parties involved). This is why I disabled it and use Textra (aka, the greatest texting app ever! lol) instead.
So you had or currently have an iPhone 6 on T-Mobile, and you had the same MMS issue I described above when VoLTE was enabled, but then it went away when you disabled it? Please confirm.
I dunno man. It just annoys me that I can't use it. I didn't mind pre-Lollipop b/c I didn't get VoLTE in my area (Chicago suburbs) anyway, only in Chicago itself. But right after I got Lollipop I noticed that it was working in my area, so it must've been expanded to my area finally. Which means now I actually am missing out on it. It's not a BIG deal, but it just annoys me b/c I notice my calls take a few seconds longer to connect when I make them when VoLTE's off vs when it's on.
Thanks,
RockStar2005
Hey RockStar2005, we also have an iPhone 6/Galaxy S4/HTC One M8 in the family and MMS works fine on them as well, so I don't know what's going on, I definitely know you aren't the only one as many others also complained about this issue. I suppose it's the network in your area to blame?
Abinhav,
Yeah it never seems to be EVERY phone, but a number of phones. And I dunno, it could be the area.
Do you have T-Mobile Abhinav?

Yes I do, in fact I believe you replied to me on the TMO support forums regarding deployment of Lollipop about a month back.
This phone really is great especially after band 12 deployment, now I have full LTE signal vs the rest of the non B12 phones in my family with only 3-4 bars.
Oh ok. I know we've talked on here but can't remember in T-Mo forum.
Maybe it is an area thing, though I doubt sillie lives in the Chicago area too (so if it's an area thing, it's NOT just Chicago). Sillie, where do u live? lol Please respond to my other post too.
Yeah in Chicago though, I can't take advantage of Band 12 b/c Channel 50/51 WPWR uses the same frequency as Band 12, so have to wait until T-Mo and WPWR resolve things in multiple cities, including Chicago. It annoys me b/c in some buildings I know I'm not getting a strong signal b/c of this issue. I'm hoping it gets resolved soon.
RockStar2005
I can't speak about outside areas, but for home if you don't like WiFi calling you can get the LTE Signal Booster for free from TMO.
abhinav,
I disabled my WiFi Calling feature the day I got my phone. Always have. Even if T-Mobile has fixed the MMS issue it causes, I'd still rarely use it, if ever. I think it's only good if you live in an area with poor reception or if you're traveling overseas and don't wanna have to pay for the call.
You mean the T-Mobile/Asus router? Yeah I got that, for free too! T-Mobile REALLY came through on that one. A $200 router that's very well-rated & powerful as F (it's a BEAST of a router!), for free (free shipping too)?!! Looks really nice too. Since I don't use a landline anymore, I gave back my modem to Comcast so I wouldn't have to pay the $10/mo leasing fee on my Comcast bill, and instead bought this extremely well-rated Motorola/Arris modem which actually pays itself off in no time and saves me money in the long run. I highly recommend doing this esp if you don't use a landline anymore. Setup was pretty easy you get to choose from 2 speeds........ 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 2.4GHz option is not AS fast as the 5GHz one, but the has a wider range. So if you get them, use 5GHz unless you live in a really big place then maybe 2.4GHz is better.
RockStar2005
Hey Rockstar2005, not the router, I mean the actual LTE booster it has two parts a LTE receiver which takes signal from nearest tower and the booster part which amplifies. You place the receiver near a window in the direction where signal is strongest and the amplifier somewhere towards the center of your home.
I also live in area of great signal, but I told them indoor reception sucked, which it did before band 12 and the rest of my devices don't have band 12 so they gave it to me.
I prefer not to use their Asus cellspot router, as I am a tester for Netgear so I keep getting better high end routers every few months anyway.
Oh ok. That's what the Cellspot is supposed to do that........... make everyone's home who uses it a mini cell tower. lol Of course I guess it only really helps other ppl if you don't password-protect it. lol
Nice! I told them it sucked b/c I wanted it free. LOL Now I got a CRAZY fast router. T-Mobile forever!!! lol
Oh nice! If I was you I wouldn't either. But I am VERY happy with my setup. Until Comcast upgrades their network again, which will prob be a while since they just did a few years ago, I'm set. Even when they do I may not necessarily upgrade my plan right away. I get like 120 mbps since they doubled my 50 mbps plan for free a year ago. So I'm actually getting MORE than double the speed. Downloads on laptop or phone go through super fast.
RockStar2005
The cellspot is a good WiFi router with optimized QoS for TMO VoIP while the LTE booster is an actual mini cell tower. I guess it doesn't matter if you already have one or the other.
Either way this is a whole lot better than Sprint, who had great customer service reps who gave discounts to compensate for the bad network and false network upgrade promises. Their maps were very unrealistic as I barely had 2G even though the map said good 3G and even their peak 3G speeds in good areas were slower than TMO 2G and the LTE was like 3G plus the eCSFB switching issue due to triband LTE and no VoLTE support. Messaging was comical, a message would either come repetitively or not come till hours or even a day later. Glad I switched to TMO last Oct.

Yours. I think it was from HoFo or something. In the Nokia forum lol If not, my bad, someone else has a similar SN lol
Yeah I used to use textra for a long time. I only recently went to hangouts because of work. I'd rather have just one app that handles it all, although the UI for hangouts sucks.
But yeah, I used to have the iPhone 6 and did that and it went away. I now have the Z3 Compact that doesn't have VoLTE, and it works fine lol The only thing that sucks about this phone is no B12/VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling.
edit: saw your other post
I live in Socal, they just started rolling out B12 in my area. There's already VoLte though.
sillie,
Ahh ok. Not sure what HoFo is and I've never been in any Nokia forums. Pretty much only xda and T-Mobile.
I C. Yeah Hangouts' UI doesn't do it for me. lol But if it was a work thing, I'd use it I guess if it made life easier. I actually prefer to have my IMs and texts separated. Combining them confuses me. lol
Well at least it went away. But did you get rid of the iPhone 6 after getting Lollipop? I just wanna know if you had the same MMS issues I mentioned AFTER getting Lollipop on the iPhone 6?
I C. Yeah not having Band 12 and VoLTE isn't so great, but I mean, I have them, but have issues with both as I mentioned to abinhav (and you). lol
With regards to the Z5 and HTC One M10, I'm gonna have to decide which one is worse, not being able to use VoLTE or not having a great camera. If the M10's camera is up to par with the Z5's, then I may switch using my JUMP option as the M10 won't come out 'til after Z5 (I think lol). But I'd only consider that if the Z5's VoLTE was messing with my texts again. If the M10's camera wasn't as good, I'd just (continue to) put up with VoLTE's BS and keep it disabled. As great as T-Mobile is, it's unfortunately not perfect. Even on the iPhone ppl are having these issues? Geez. That just makes me think it's even more T-Mo's fault. If you're gonna offer up something like WiFi Calling and VoLTE, then they should be tested THOROUGHLY on EACH AND EVERY DEVICE that's labeled as being compatible with them. But this isn't the case it seems. So I dunno. Makes a customer feel helpless but I guess that's just how it is until they fix it. Even if I switch phones it sounds that's no guarantee of anything.

yeah it just makes it easier for me since all the contacts are in one spot.
Well the iPhone 6 runs IOS so there is no Lollipop? I'm running Lollipop on the Z3C right now and it's fine. I just have that mobile radio bug that everyone has but that's it. Yeah I can do without both wifi calling/VoLTE if i had B12 though. I'll just wait for the Z5 and pick that up. Since the Z3+ has B12 already, but plagued with the 810.
When I just do iMessage to other iMessage users, or Hangouts to Hangouts, there are no problems whatsoever with messages/pictures/etc. When I do iMessage with normal SMS/MMS that's when there are problems. If I turn off iMessage and use only SMS/MMS it's even worst LOL Like the receiving party would get like 10% of whatever I sent.
BTW, for textra, did you try using the MMS setting that is specifically for tmobile? I didn't have it set with that when I was using textra on my Z3C, but it seems like it would be useful for your phone
Yeah man, that iMessage caused real issues for me too pre-Lollipop. I found a fix (2nd half of my Original Post, #7) for it which I'd posted on multiple spots on here and T-Mobile's forums, but now I think it's really just VoLTE causing it cuz back then I had it disabled but had to do other stuff too. Not sure if the other stuff (#7) is needed now. When ppl I knew with iPhones had it on, I rarely got their picture MMS messages. When it was off, I always got it. My #7 fix and disabling VoLTE and using Textra all helped, but now it seems the issue is only VoLTE, though I still do the #7 thing only when I clear the cache on Textra, which was only once after I got Lolllipop.
Oh yeah, I did use that Textra setting. As you may have seen, my OP mentions it too. lol It's for WiFi Calling, but for me I like it b/c it disables WiFi if I happen to have it on since MMS messages CANNOT be sent/received over WiFi, only using data (i.e. 4G LTE).
RockStar2005
Yeah I pretty much didn't have any problems with MMS on the Z3C pre/post lollipop. Sometimes I get SMS jumbled up, but that is totally a Tmobile problem lol
I see, yeah I always have WiFi on. It still just takes cellular data like normal even with WiFi on. It doesn't disconnect from WiFi, but shows activity on the cellular data side rather than WiFi. I guess it's only useful for when you have WiFi Calling enabled.
Hopefully the next iteration of this phone will have be compatibility. And hopefully Tmobile picks this phone up in more colors.
I C. I dunno it appears to be disconnecting the WiFi cuz the icon for it disappears whenever I got or send an MMS text.
Yeah I agree. I like black but nice to have a white one maybe?
