N5 and LTE + Voice - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have an issue where the LTE signal is not reestablished after a phone call? I have to reboot my phone to get the LTE signal back, otherwise it remains on HSPA+. I am in an area with full LTE signal (all bars). This is driving me crazy...

When a call gets routed through it uses the HSPA+ or HSPA or EDGE network to handle calls currently LTE does not do this so it may take awhile to reestablish your connection thou lte again

It NEVER reestablishes the connection though, stays on H.

I have no idea then, after about 30 seconds on T-Mobile the LTE returns again after being on H

Have you just tried throwing it in airplane mode for a second to kill the radio and see if it pulls and LTE connection after? I'm on AT&T and every once in awhile I'll have to do that when switching between cell towers while driving.

hmmm... that's strange, you shouldn't have to do anything. mine goes on H during the call, as soon as end the call it immediately (about a second) switches back to LTE. I'm not rooted or anything. everything is stock.
not sure if this will help but try doing factory reset and clear cache and such?
it would be easier if you gave us more details.
Custom ROM? kernel? rooted?

Everything is completely stock, never rooted etc. Seems to be slightly improved today. It has actually come back into LTE a couple times without rebooting. I've also tried the airplane trick a couple times and that has worked on occasion as well. Still hit or miss so I may just RMA it. Appreciate everyone's help!

Don't mean to necro this thread, but just looking for some additional input.
RMAd my device and the new one exhibits the same behavior which leads me to believe it's the network in my area. Anyone ever experience the same thing especially in area with new LTE?

WiFi and data at the same time

I've noticed that in the last few days when I turn on WiFi I still get cell data.
I have WiFi then 4g icon with 2-3 bars. Wasn't like that before.

What were you doing when this occurred? Might you have been in the middle of downloading something so your phone waited instead of doing a handoff?

I have noticed this same issue. I usually just turn off the data portion when using wifi, but I am curious as to why this occurs

Yeah there is some trouble...I tried to use it both too, (wifi to talk via skype) and the connect was awful
Also I have some troubles with wifi when battery under 30% - very bad connect, but when I plug in charger it getting much better connect

Nothing really just chillingin the forums or browsing. The phone used to automatically turn off cell data when on WiFi and I might of disabled something somewhere but I've never seen such a option...

Signal dropping then coming back

I'm on T-Mobile here in the US. Not sure if anyone else is having issues. I've had my phone since the 6th. Up until yesterday it's all been perfect. Now every now and then the service just drops to "no service" followed by "emergency calls only" then finally comes back to normal. When I have signal, it's good. 4-5 bars. The drops are random. I'm stock + root.
Anyone else having problems?
Same thing is happening with Rogers

Hmmm... I have tried a couple ROMs but none lasted long enough without bugs to notice. I also flashed the stock image again just to be sure and it's still there.
There's an ongoing thread already on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525583
Also, there is a thread where a rep from Google, Paul, has acknowledged the issue. Please post your issues there for them to track/investigate:

Unlocked, stock rooted, stock kernal, and I'm having the same issues. Very slow when switching from lte to 3g and back to lte, sometimes it doesn't switch back to lte. Also the loss of signal. I though if factory reset back to stock but I guess that's not the issue.

According to this link:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/nexus/T5ey4dttBOA/-DgsOajavnsJ
It's a software issue.. I am getting the same thing on Rogers. I only get it after a call or when sending SMS. Frustrating issue, to put it mildly
I switched to bricked kernel my connections have been solid. Later I also switched to the Cataclysm ROM and so far so good.
I think it is a software issue.

[Q] Immediate Call Failure??

So When I try to make a phone call, my calls immediately end( I get the call ended screen instantly). I have full cell service and I still receive texts.
Whats going on?
Airplane mode on then off.

That did it, but it happens intermittently . This is the second time its happened. The first time I thought it was a signal issue. Maybe this is a bug with cataclysm Rom?I also disabled forcing LTE, I'll leave that setting off and report back this week. In the mean time, is this a common nexus issue?
R u on Lte? This is what happened to me when I was on Lte until my towers got updated? If u r go to mobile networks and change it to 3g and then u can make calls.

3G data hangs

Having a weird issue thats been persistent since I got the phone to be honest back in January, when I am using the phone 3g data will hang and all services that require internet will not work. And the 3g icon stays white and not brown so its not a connection issue, never happened on my s3 once and i have been with three for 3 years now. Texts also do not send when this happens. Anyone? All stock no root. Happens rarely but when it does it will not come back for about 10 minutes

Data keeps stalling

Hello, I have searched around but I haven't found anyone reporting this particular issue nor one similar enough to troubleshoot on my own based on those solutions.
I recently began noticing that I was experiencing an issue where data LTE/hspa appears connected, but no information is transmitted. If I put airplane mode off and then back on, data reconnects and all is fine until it happens again. This is occurring multiple times per day.
I am running cataclysm ROM with Franco #40 right now.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are you undervolted?
I did not attempt to undervolt so unless Franco is doing that automatically, which I am inclined to believe it is not, I do not believe so.

Not that I am aware of, it's T mobile but I typically have very good-excellent LTE coverage.

I've seen it happen on occasion. The only thing I would suggest is trying stock to see if you can reproduce.

i have tmobile as well, and had that happening to me several weeks ago. it started happening suddenly, was like that for several weeks, and stopped happening just as sudden. i think it might be an issue with tmo, or something that they are doing. anyways, putting it in airplane mode then back always fixed it for me when it did happen.
Good to know. I will call them if it continues.

Also with t mobile and had this issue suddenly start about two weeks ago. Very annoying. I do the airplane mode trick to get it working. Where are you located? I'm in Sacramento, ca

no.
bars dont turn orange, and a connection is shown. data just stops flowing. turning on airplane mode then back fixes it every time.
Same thing
I am on Metro PCS (t-mobile) and have the same issue as others. Weird thing is I only noticed after activating a replacement Nexus 5 I just received. Can't say I remember seeing this so frequently on the original (wasn't paying as close of attention though).
Probably just something up with t-mobile. Might try reflashing the radios. My original Nexus 5 updated via OTAs where as the replacement came with the 4.4.2 stock image pre installed.
