SMS problems - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have problems where their sms messages do not send and calls do not work? This is solved with a reboot so am I right in assuming this is a software issue?

I posted something like this in another thread recently. Where I live I'm on the fringe of a LTE tower and never have more than one bar (and often showing none). Turns out that when LTE network is bad the phone will switch back and forth between LTE and 3g, causing me to receive text messages sometimes more than 20 minutes delayed.
All I have done is switch to 3g preferred in network settings and everything's fine. I also have significantly better standby battery life, as the phone isn't changing back and forth anymore (that and LTE will always use more battery anyway).
Hope that helps/works for you.

This happens as well with custom ROMs, I have to disable LTE using Cataclysm due to this delay.

If you guys are having this problem while WIFI is on, it's a known problem that Google knows about but hasn't fixed yet. You have to set the phone to only use 3G to fix it for now.

i used to have this on my old htc one but not on my nexus 5

Thanks for the reply guys, um im having this problem on 3g and wifi, mostly happens on 3g though as im out and about most days so I hardly ever use wifi

your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.
Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

[Q] No calls when on 4G?

4G is flying, but I have noticed my calls automatically go to voicemail when the RAZR is on the 4G network. It doesn't even have to be in use, they just get rerouted to voicemail. A friend doesn't have that problem on 4G with his SGS3 so I'm thinking it's not the network?

Definitely your device, I have my 4G on whenever the phone is on and haven't had a single problem. Actually, I had my tethering on a couple days ago using 4G and was browsing the web on my phone at the same time and when I got a call from the lady friend, the data connection continued without a hitch. Sounds like you may need to consider a replacement, unless someone else has some info I am not aware of. Good luck.
Same here I get calls while using 4G

Yup no problems getting calls when on 4G here either....
Telstra firmware made calls go through when in 4G but then mobile network had to be manually re-engaged... I flashed the JB from SFR and now no incoming calls. Seems to be a baseband/fw issue?
Anyway did flag it with my provider maybe it's a possible bug. Who knows.

Hmm... does sound like a baseband issue. I would almost try hard reset? I have never heard of this before. I'll stay active in this thread though if nothing is resolved via your provider. Nice speedtest, by the way
Doesn't work. I am going back to ics tonight this jb sucks on my Phone
Also, wipe and reset didn't work. I'll retry tonight.

Doesn't change wifi to 3G

Hi guys,
My atrix 2 has this problem that already has me tired. When I'm on home on my wifi network and I go out to the street, I lose all type of networks, the phone doesn't change to 3G. I have to turn airplane mode on and then off and then it activates 3G.
Im from Argentina .. Anyone has a solution on this? Im running SwiftyTrix (I already tried CM10, MIUI, everything). This also happened on gingerbread.
No solution for this ?
Well, how long have you waited for signal to pick up when moving away from your wifi? Mine usually takes from 5 seconds up to 30 seconds.
Maybe your sim card is bad?

Hi, I just tested it and it still didnt pick up 3G signal.
Idk, maybe I'll test my sim card on other phone or go to my carriers support ...
I think CM10 made this work, but since HDMI doesn't work on it I returned to ICS stock ..
My phone has this issue too. I thought it was provider related,but really I can not decide.

No Mobile Network Available

Please help me out here - I'm not new to flashing ROMs but this is new to me.
I was on Dirty Unicorns 4.3 AOSP ROM. All was great until I turned off mobile data to save battery. Upon turning back on, I was only in 3g. I switched my network over to LTE/CDMA/3vdo, and LTE came back. All was fine again until later that day.
Suddenly I couldn't make a call, or send a text. This has been like this for hours now. My IMEI is not zero, so that isn't the issue. What else could be the issue? I try calling someone and it says no mobile network available. However I just received a text and also I can use mobile internet just fine.
I've also tried restoring to a previous ROM and that didn't work. What gives?

Keep searching, this issue has been reported multiple times and there's an answer somewhere. I don't use AOSP roms, but maybe look in the CM10.2 Q&A and see if there's a specific fix for this issue when this happens.

Just some more details...
My IMEI is fine.
My network is on "LTE/CDMA/evdo"
I do NOT have roaming bars.
My mobile network comes in and out randomly. If it's showing bars, my calls get stuck at "dialing" and never go through. If I don't have bars, it just said "mobile network not available."
My phone number shows up fine in the "about phone" section.
Every thread I see for fixing this is slightly different - I have my IMEI and I have no roaming signal... so I don't want to follow instructions for a different issue. Anyone have any ideas?
Well, here's an update:
Verizon is at fault. Towers are down in my area. That explains why this made no sense. I'm glad I didn't wipe my phone yet! :thumbup:

Makes sense to me. Had the classic signs. When in doubt call Verizon. The first message will be that they are having problems in your area.
Wondering if I'm having the same problem. I'm in nj and have "network unknown" but all the telephony features work fine....

Doesn't want to connect to LTE

Anybody else having issues with LTE. On my phone it always wants to revert to H or H+ I have to cycle airplane mode to get LTE to come on pretty frequently. Anybody else seen issues with this?

that would be because in your area there is a better hspa+ connection than a lte connection. if you try forcing lte in that kind of situation, it could lower your battery life due to bad signal.
Ok, its just weird because my wife has the n5 too and she seems to be on LTE more than I am. And usually gets better speeds too. Maybe I will just take her place on the couch! By the way Simms do you EVER stop helping!?
