[Q] 2G not working. 3G/4G working - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bougt a Nexus 5 32GB D821 in December in England on holiday. When i came back to Norway the 3g/4g network worked fine but I dont get any signal when i switch to 2G.
I live on the coast so sometimes I lose 3G signals and then I have no signals at all.
I have testet the sim card on my old S3 and there it works fine. Since i bought it in England I have no warrenty and no one will fix my phone.
Is it an hardware problem or software problem?

2g sim in touch pro

Would a 2g sim card work in the touch pro?
Thanx
I am using an UK Orange pay monthly 2G sim - seems to be working fine as a 2G phone for me. I haven't noticed any problems. I even used it on holiday in Orlando last month - no problems connecting to AT&T there for making calls & sms messages back to the UK.
Thanx for that, Its a big help

[Q] 3g problem on frequency incompatibiliy in Brazil?

Hi all,
I bought an HTC One X AT&T recently. On a trip to Spain installed a Vodafone sim card. The voice connection worked perfectly, but I could not use the 3G. The same sim card work worked perfectly in my wife's iPhone 4s. Back to Brazil, I'm trying to use a Oi sim card and have the same problem. I checked with Oi operator and it uses 2100 mhz for its 3G network. In both cases I got an 4G icon (not 3g) on the too bar.
Do I have a real problem with 3G hardware of my phone or I'm missing something? Is there a way to test 3G radio?
Thanks for any help!
You have to manually enter the APN info for the carrier in order to get data and MMS.
Assume you are SIM unlocked, as if you were not voice calling should not work either.
I've used the AT&T One X in Germany a few times and had no issues with HSPA+ data on the 2100 MHz band.

I have my N5 2 days now and I experienced simular issues.
The 4G symbol would come up but when that leaves, probably due to almost no signal, no 3G, edge etc.
I solved mine by switching it to setting - more - mobile networks - preferred network type ---> 3G ... so far so good.
I also had issues with my wifi on my Asus RT-N66U unit. It would be connected but no wifi at all. reconnect and it would work for a couple of minutes too.
I reflashed the firmware of a couple of months ago and no more issues.
Please let us know if it works for you too so we can help others!

Only 2G and 4G is working in Europe

I recently bought a Letv One S (X501) and I was impressed by the quality/design/hardware but, when I try to test the 2G/3G/4G connectivity I had a bad surprise. I live in Romania and we have here 4 operators, Vodafone, Orange, Telekom and Digi. The phone works only in 2G with first 3 and only 4G with Digi if a USIM is used in tray 1 (1st nanoSIM). 3G is not covered with any operator. In conclusion, I return the product and stuck with my old Galaxy S3 LTE which works perfectly 2G/3G/4G in Vodafone.
Be aware of the frequency of the phone's modem which I think is working good in China but in Europe/US will have issues.
I didn't find any solution to this issue on the local reseller support (they didn't test it before....) or the letv site
Is anyone else experiencing this issues? Was my terminal bad or it is a general thing?

Or have you tried inserting other SIM cards and does this with other networks?
