[Q] [q] random reboots-major problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seemingly get random reboots on my Nexus 5, I'm running ElementalX kernel and AOSPA saberdroid beta 6 latest release as of now. I changed the kernel from Franco to elemental and it seemingly stopped the random reboots for a while, but it just started back up again. Everything works fine, I have the dalvik and bionic optimized libs from the Moto X flashed and that's about it.
I'll post a few logcats below.
It might not be related, but I can not seem to find any mobile network connection, even with a modem reflash, and a SIM change.
Should I RMA? Or is this solvable.
Can someone reply fast because I'm going crazy, my favorite phone is testing my limits.
the .txts are below

What country / network can't you connect to?
In regards to reboots, use KISS method (keep it simple, stupid*) .
Reflash rom...flash no kernel. Flash no mods, flash no optimisations. See if it still happens. If yes, try different rom and try same

[Q] Weak Wifi

Ever since I got ARHD on latest .24 its been running super fast with minimal problems. One problem I am having is the internet disconnecting randomly and having to turn wifi on and off for reconnect. Also when it is connected it is incredibly slow and other devices on my network are having no problems. How do I fix?
Also I updated to the latest ARHD last night and having more problems than ever so that did not fix.
Try latest guevor kernel, it will fix it.
And do I just flash it after flashing ROM?
Flash the ROM, let it reboot normally, then go back into CWM wipe cache and flash Guevor's. It changes wifi protocol to Veno from Reno whitch helps alot.
I'm still having problems with wifi. Speedtest app is saying I'm getting like 5mbps down yet webpages are taking up to 15 seconds to load and when I look at the wifi bar on the bottom the arrows that indicate data usage sometimes just disappear and the page stops loading for 10 seconds. Same thing for youtube videos. It is taking forever to buffer even on non HD quality. All the other devices on my network are having no issues and everything loads snappily.
Kernel maybe?
You may be having problems with an incompatible kernel[if you did flash an alternate one] or it may just be a bad flash.
Either way, try re-flashing the ROM
The thing is ive had the same problem on other roms and I have tried reflashing.
Edit: I am using the test series of kernels and its the one that is compatible with Megatron. Any other ROM suggestions? The stock Megatron one?
Did you clean or dirty flash? You need to wipe Everything..
I wiped everything
Try using the superwipe script from the ARHD thread, then flash Guevor version 17c on a Non-AOSP Rom (Revolver or ARHD) See if that'll do it.
And if I titanium backed up all apps and data is that good enough? Also if I do a backup in cwm can I restore to my same state I'm in?
Also if I run super wipe script will I not have to wipe caches and stuff?
Yes you can, personally I'd just backup the apks.
Wipe caches anyway never can be too safe.
And the wifi is still not fixed
Guevor 17c?
Yup
When I click on a link you wait a while until anything happens and any data is exchanged. And my sd still won't mount in CWM
Your issues are starting to sound hardware related... :/
I already RMA'd this thing once because it did a never awakening SOD before I was rooted. I'm trying to figure out how to flash stock ROM/kernel to see if problems persist while keeping root.
They may or may not X.x It all depends on which demons are currently inhabiting your TF.
Try the latest Harmony kernel, that might fix wifi.
Thanks for all the help greatly appreciated.
I did some "scientific research". I loaded squarespace.com on my tablet and it took 27 seconds. Loaded same page on laptop and it took 5 seconds. I waited for it to be fully loaded. If I do speedtest.net on my tablet I get the same speeds as on my computer but the only difference is a huge lag time before any loading happens and then while its loading it pauses multiple times. If I have had this on every single kernel/ROM combo I have tried is it safe to call this hardware?

[Q] i727 Network Drop after LiquidSmooth 2.5

I have installed 4.2.2 version of LiquidSmooth. But after installing it my network is dropping out within a min of talking. It's so annoying as I missed the most importing function. Talking to others using my phone.

What radio are you using? You should be using UCMC1.

I have a similar issue. I've been running the March 23rd version of AoKp with no problems. However, I recently tried to install the latest version and my phone will not connect to the Rogers network (connects briefly during start up, then drops, this trend repeats infinitely). Even when I do get some bars of connectivity, it never actually registers with the network, so I cannot send/receive calls, sms, etc. All other functions work fine. Also of note; after first reboot after installing ROMs, all the correct APN's are there and it seems to default to Rogers LTE which is good, however never actually connects. Then, after a subsequent reboot, all APN's are missing and I cannot manually add any (when I save them, they don't actually save).
I've tried installing the latest version of CM - same issue
Tried flashing different radios to no avail (running UCMC1 currently)
Luckily I'm always able to restore my backup to that March 23rd version AoKp which still works without issue. My next step is to revert back to stock ROM and either stick with that or try installing a fresh custom following that.
Any idea what the issue is???
I'm seeing the same issue as well on AT&T.
I tried reverting back to the regular Cyanogenmod Rom, but I'm seeing the issue where the radio keeps dropping and connecting back every few seconds.
I'm on baseband UCLI3. Is that the best version to use?

[Q] Random visual flashes/errors while using fresh PA

Hello, some of you might recognize me as the one who was having trouble installing PA last night.
Now I've got it installed, and it runs very smoothly.
Specs off the bat...
TF700T Infinity
VoltageControl Overclock system set at 370-1800
Very latest gaps, installed last night from g+
MaxKernel V4 Reloaded RC2
Installed and flashed through TWRP
ParanoidAndroid 3.15
Likely enough for myself, all of a sudden, a few hours into having the ROM, kernel and gapps freshly flashed, the screen starts giving random graphical flashes and blips here and there, and it's grown to a point where I can't use my tablet without a flash every three seconds.
To explain exactly what is happening, when I switch from app to app or UI section to another UI section or any of the mix, it will brightly flash what I am switching to/from while I do it. For example, I will be opening up PIE and it will flash the app screen in full for a split second if PIE is over it.
Anything that I am doing wrong? I have a restore from a few hours ago set up, will I have to use that?
If anyone has any advice/assistance, please let me know.
Thanks,
Neb
EDIT: I tried resetting the overclocking system to stock clock. No change whatsoever.
Also did a restore. No luck
Turn off the corresponding setting in the developer options.
Also Max's kernel is a stock based kernel. I'm surprised PA even boots off it. I'd switch to a PA compatible kernel of I were you.
Thank you for helping me out on this. I saw some posts stating that Max was a PA based kernel. My bad. Got it taken care of by reverting to PA stock kernel

[Q] SMS won't send. Can receive/send MMS calls and Data

The Problem/Symptoms: I've been running a version of last CM10.2 for the past year. On February 20th, I was able to send a single SMS and then subsequent texts failed. I could still receive SMS, send/receive MMS, send/receive calls and send/receive data. If I toggle airplane mode/reboot I can send another SMS and then subsequent sms are undeliverable.
What wont work: Flashing to CM11 does not change the issue.
Disabling Voice+ does not change the issue
Factory Reset does not change the issue
Workarounds: Toggle Airplane mode
Switching Mobile Network to CDMA only (not permanent)
Change your number to a different area code
Going back to a Touchwiz based ROM
The Solution
net-cat said:
Alright. I think I've refined my process and it results in having a newer radio as well as not having to ODIN things or do dd commands.
NOTE: This isn't fully tested. When I did this, my phone wasn't showing the issue. I did this after doing my original procedure, but the GPS stopped working after I updated the radio from VRALF2 to VRBMB1. You shouldn't need to do the original procedure for this to work, but I haven't tested that. At the very least, the original procedure still works and this one can be used afterward if you need the newer radio. (GSM support...)
Ideally, we'll want to get to a procedure that doesn't use ODIN or dd. Hopefully this is a step in that direction.
Requirements:
A rooted stock ROM of the VRUCML1/4.3 vintage. I used Scott's Stock Rooted Knox Free VRUCML1 - 4.3 - DeOdex - V2. (Thread here.)
VRBMB1 AIO Flash, available here. (Thread here.)
I'm going to assume you know how to boot into and use recovery.
NOTE: Do NOT let the stock ROM install any updates.
Starting with my CM11 M3 install, I did a nandroid backup. (Recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.5, but I doubt that matters.)
Flash the VRBMB1 AIO.
Wipe data and cache.
Flash the stock ROM.
Boot into the stock ROM.
The reprovisioning seems to happen as a part of ROM's initial boot up.
Send a few text messages to test. (I sent them to Twitter.)
Launch the Maps application, turn on your GPS and let it get a lock. If you don't, when you boot back into your ROM, you probably won't have working GPS.
This would be a good time to back up your IMEI if you haven't already done so.
Reboot into your recovery, wipe data/cache and restore your nandroid backup.
At this point, you'll be running your preferred ROM with a less archaic radio than my previous post.
DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR RADIO. The moment I upgraded my radio, the problem came back!
CM11 M3 will work just fine with the old radio. I've rebooted several times over the last few hours and it still works fine. (Time will tell if it's a long term fix or not.)

Notes: There are threads for the S4 with this identical problem. All updated information I have seen is listed above. If anyone knows more please post as I am going to keep this updated. If this does/doesn't work for you please post and let the community know. Feel free to hit the thanks button if it works for you.
This exact thing happened to me. I tried many fixes with no luck. After hours of hacking around in settings, I found a ROM of verizon's 4.3 OTA update and flashed that through ODIN. My texts are working just fine again. Kind of a cheap method of fixing my problem. I wish I could have taken more time to find a fix, but I needed to be able to communicate with people that day.
Stock 4.3 is kind of lame:
-4.3 is killing my battery faster than ever. CM11 had me going for days without charging and now I've needed to charge everyday.
-Stock 4.3 is laggier/slower than CM11. It tends to stutter for me.
-4.3 came with a new boot loader which no developers have exploited to install custom ROMs yet. This leaves you stuck with Verizon bloat. I hate all these damn apps. Going to try to safe root & see if I can't do some cleanup work.
Enough ranting. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Missing my cyanogen mod already
It seems this problem has happened on other phones also running Cyanogenmod. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
It looks like the symptoms have all showed up at the same time approximately. (February 19th, 2014). Still looking for a better answer than going back to stock TW...
Edit: And another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659280 This one suggests its all AOSP roms. But it seems many people are unaffected... I don't understand why/how.

SO this is the current status that I know.
The problem happens for everyone with a 570/717 area codes + on verizon + running Cyanogenmod (possibly any AOSP) + while connected to LTE which started on Feb 20th (the day before KitKat came out offically).
Current Workarounds:
Switch to TouchWiz based Roms
Switch your radios to be CDMA only
Call verizon and switch your number to a different area code
I know the workarounds all suck but that all I know for now. Switching SIM cards won't work. If I anyone knows anything more please feel free to let me know.
I'm 717

I have still be unable to find a solution for this issue. I think I have to give up on CM and go back to a TW based. If I hear anything new I'll update the post but I don't have the time to be wasting on my phone at the moment. If someone finds or hears of a fix or if it magically goes away as it started, please post it.
And spread the word if there are any other ROMs that this is occurring on. It seems the pool of those affected is just too small.
I have already had to give up. Been running slows tw. I take it Verizon didn't get back to you?

Godspeed my friend.
Anyone try aosp to see if fixed yet?
Nope. Still having issues. Tried gummy and cm. TW based roms are fine. In 717.

What gapps are you using? I have been using the PA 0Day gapps. Going to try the gapps package from invisblek and see if that makes a difference.

It won't. It isn't software dependent. People who had already flashed builds prior to the 20th magically had issues starting on that date, so it isn't a problem with new builds, and it only happens to those in the 717-570 areas so it isn't a problem with AOSP code. It has to be a Verizon network issue, I just have no idea how.

I have run TW base roms almost 100% of the time. Prior to the 20th, I had flashed cm11 3 or 4 times to see if camera worked and was never on it more than a day. I also had issues where music in my sd card wasn't being found but it was fine on TW. Could it be the unified build causing an issue? I have no issues on Clean Rom 8, wicked sensations or old and slows stock based roms.
*Edit* I have installed Gummy and CM 11 with PA Mini Modular apps and the CM Gapps from Invisiblek, let it set up. I then shut it down, removed battery and sim and then put everything back in and still the same issue. 1st text message goes through, then the rest after that just fail. I tried regular message app, Hangouts and Verizon messaging. All same results. I go back to my CR8 backup and all is fine. It's bizarre because everything else seems to be working fine and is very fast & smooth.

It can't be an issue with the unified builds because going back and flashing an older build yields the same results. If you're willing to make the trade-off, you can set your phone to CDMA only. Texts will send, but you'll have no 3G or 4G.
I'm ok with using CR8, Beans or other stock roms. Can't see paying for LTE and not using it lol. Was curious to see how aosp has been coming along and sms was really the only issue I was having.

I was using masta's 10.2 build for over 6 months without even thinking about flashing new builds. The 20th is when the problem started for me. Upgrading to CM11 didn't change it. I just installed Hyperdrive and everything is back to normal.
I wish I could go back to CM but it just doesn't work in this area. And I don't know what I can do about it,

Basically. I've talked to a few friends who have worked for carriers and stuff, and everyone is stumped as to how something like this can even happen. Luckily I'm pretty much always in WiFi so I can survive on CDMA only.

Is there a stable ROM right now that doesn't random reboot???

I clicked on the Kernel tab, and tried the franco.Kernel, and simply get stuck in bootloop, I look at the tags and it seems like most of the kernels only support the old KitKat..?
In addition, it seems the kernel scenes is a bit haywire now with AOSP/CAF...?
Could someone gimme one or two kernel suggestion that works with rooted OOB 5.0.1? I am just trying to quickly fix my sister's N5 here... she got nothing but nightmare after upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0, constant reboot, crash, battery drain... so i just now wiped the whole thing and flashed a fresh 5.0.1
Any help/suggestion on kernel would be appreciated. <3
Update:
Tried Elemental X, the phone reboots randomly now... And also just googled problem with Nexus 5... it seems like 5.0 and 5.0.1 have TONS of random reboot issues...? Goddamn it Google...
Do any of you have a stable ROM (stock or custom) that doesn't have random reboot issues?

Sorry to hear that. Could it possibly be a hardware issue since you say it's happening to you across all software? Corrupted storage media could cause random reboots such as that.
I'm not seeing any myself, though I do reboot the phone about once a week just as a precautionary measure with L's RAM management.
Was having this issue with Stock and Custom ROMS ended up going back to KITKAT and no problems. Hopefully they will have this fixed with 5.1 that will be released soon.
Stock one is allways the best choise. You must be aware, that the stock one is build by a lot of good developers and custom ones are made by individual enthusiasts. There is nothing wrong with that, but the pure logic here speaks by itself.
Used a lot of different roms
ordered my nexus on release day, used quite a few different roms and i've never had a random reboot.
