Hi all, new here, please take it easy if I posted in wrong thread but many of us users especially me, the nexus 5 has very poor WiFi signal.
At home my nexus 7 2013 has full WiFi bars and like 3 metres away from router and on the other hand the nexus 5 has one bar wtf
Please help I'm running stock rooted 4.4.3 Franco r52
Is there anyone who can help?

The question is, do you still stay connected to WiFi and does it work properly? If so I wouldn't worry about "how many bars I have"
N5
Mine too. I find out that the WiFi signal is not really good. I had a HTC butterfly I put it together HTC got 4 bar and Nexus 5 got 1-2 bar....

The Nexus 5 WiFi signal is really very weak...dunno will Google do something on it not?

It must be a hardware issue, getting repaired soon by lg in Australia

Not sure quite how to say this but basically, "bars" are not an accurate form of measurement, nor are they comparable between devices.
Do a speed test and compare transfer speed and latency.
Weak Wi-Fi signal was one of the reasons I returned my Nexus 5.
My SGS3 had two more bars than the Nexus 5 in my living room.
Poor Wi-Fi antenna probably. Can't expect more for 350$.
Bars are a joke. Some manufactures set the bars to be full at very low dBm levels. Hence why some phone have "GREAT" wifi coverage and some need "help". lol Get Wifi Analyzer from the play store. Load it up on both devices. See how the dBm levels differ from the same spot. If the N7 has more dBm's then the N5 than you have conclusive proof to back your complaint. Should take all of three minutes to to some testing. Let us know the results.

Yeah hi, if I haven't mentioned before I've already tested both devices and the nexus 7 actually had a 15% better signal than nexus 5 while testing with WiFi analyser

15% doesn't seem like anything to worry about. You could try forcing the correct WiFi frequency (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz) on your phone to see if that helps at all.

Anyone else have a really weak signal with their device? My thunderbolt had 4 bars at my house, I have one on this phone. Even driving around I've not seen anything over 3 bars and have even dropped to 3 g a few times.

What's the actual dbm difference (if any)? I'm curious because I use a TB for my work phone and wanna know what to expect from my GS3.

-110 dBm on my Sg3 currently, pretty sure that many tbolt was usually around -79 dBm.

You might have a defective unit, I came from the SGS2 and the S3 is hands down better for signal across the board.

This is one of those threads that is meaningless information or worse because the mods combined the forums and the posters failed to flag their carrier. So-called "signal" issues are carrier-specific.

HI all
so i ordered my nexus 5 from us play store although i live outside
so ill not get the lte.
Iam kind of worried of the wifi coverage because its my primary connection
so from this video he had weak performance and coverage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4OicFhI9xo
What about your experience with it ? And how do you compare it with other phones
(if u have the nexus 5)
thanx all
I have noticed a slight decrease in signal/performance compared to my S4...though since I have a wifi extender in my house it's not really a problem

Thanks for posting the video here and the question, you beat me to it. I've been playing around some more this morning with my router just double checking it's not a setting or channel clash with other peoples gear. All checks out fine.
Would be interested to hear from others who have their Nexus 5's now, hows your wifi?

Here is what I have found doing some tests:
With router in same room about 2 meters away from me
34mbs Nexus 5
34mbs Galaxy S4
Move to the bedroom and we get this
Nexus 5 16mbs
Galaxy S4 22mbs
That's a fairly big difference and indicates something is going one somewhere. I ran each test twice and made sure theirs no downloads anywhere on the internal network or to the web and also that all other wifi devices are turned off. I turned off the alternate device while i did each test so the S4 couldn't interfere with the Nexus 5 and vice versa.

but in your opinion, is a software or hardware problem? Why did I read that even the nexus 4 has little wi fi reception :'(
Here same problem too, Wi-Fi coverage like the Galaxy Nexus's one... horrible.
Im getting terrible slow wifi speeds, and my notifications are extremely delayed compared to my other phones. we are talking 1-2 mins. anyone else experiencing this?
I have slow wifi speeds when I attempt to browse/download on the Google Play Store. It is UNBEARABLE.
I've been trying to find a solution but all I can seen to find is some info on changing DNS settings. Tried switching over to Google & OpenDNS and while that did increase the speed a little it wasn't much. The speeds are still slow.
There is an app you can download to help with the DNS settings but you have to root your phone first, and I really don't want to do that but I'm getting desperate.

Same here. New Nexus 5, wifi downloads from Play Store are PAINfully slow. Switch to LTE and they blaze. Did a Speedtest from my desktop, 22Mbit/s down....something is throttling our downloads over wifi!
No issues here. For the most part, I get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi and, FWIW, my Location mode is set for Battery saving. You might want to try updating the firmware on your wireless router/access point. Cheers.
3-4 times slower than S3
Please don't say wifi on your N5 is super fast without comparing to other phone.
Download on mine is about 3-4 times slower than on S3 (proof is attached. tested from about 30-40ft away and a couple of walls. N5 was restored prior to testing and speedtest was the ONLY app downloaded from play store)
I don't know if my 5yr old 2.4 routers don't play nice with N5
Device is on 4.4.2. Didn't test it with 4.4.0.
Again, please don't just say how fast your device is. It may be super fast if you are 3" away from your router. You have to compare it!
If my Wi-Fi has been on for a while sometimes I get like .5 Mbps down while another phone can be pulling 15. Random disconnects for me also. A reboot solves it for a couple of hours...

Try updating the firmware on your routers. My N5 is in the basement and my wireless access point is upstairs and I still get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi.

But why would Galaxy S3 be faster than N5?
Are you saying N5 is expecting something different from the router, while S3 is happy with it?
My routers are old, even if there's a firmware update... it may still be an issue issue when other routers are used...like free xfinity internet that's available throughout the city.. (unless of course all other routers are newer\better than mine and will support N5 just as well as S3).
It'd be nice if you someone could test N5 and some other device from farther away, where you don't get the maximum speed

It’s possible. It is more likely a firmware update will improve things versus making them worse.

My wireless access point (WAP) upstairs is at least 30 feet away with a ceiling separating it as well. The N5 often displays two bars in this case and I still get the 50Mbps that Comcast provides me over Wi-Fi. That said, you will be unable to do 50Mbps on 11g—at minimum you’ll need an 11n or better WAP.

Had terrible issues with internet speeds and wifi as well.While running new KK 4.4.2 Kept getting foreclosing on Youtube and while viewing videos online both OTA and on Wifi.
Then aweful loading speeds and lag with error message about having issues giving me the option to close report or wait.
Called Google and they are shipping me out a new One . Already went out. They said I had a Hardware issue.
I hope my new N5 Kicks Ass as it was designed to do.
Wifi was a nightmare until I switched it to the 2.4 GHz band. Now it's pretty speedy.

Are you people satisfied ?
Is the battery too bad ?
GPS is fast ?
Internet draining battery ? Or it is OK ?
Am thinking of buying it but not sure , any advice ll'be thankful

Overall N5 is fantastic...and for the price u cnt ask for bettr...atleast m satisfied..screen is good, gps works very well got the gps locked in couple of seconds, super fast...camera loads a bit slow but heard that it got fixed in 4.4.1 update...still didnt get the OTA so cnt tell..
Battery is not that bad....if u r a heavy gamer u ll a bit disappointed..
Previously i hated the pure android look...but after kitkat i m loving the clean look.!!

Had a large range of premium phones before the N5, and this is my favourite phone so far.
Fast interface, excellent design, and very quick to use. overall it's cheap and extremely good.
The Battery is very good in 4.4.1 and the camera is just as good as the S4 I once had. It won't beat my Lumia 1020 but what can?

Personally i owned the lg optimus black previously and was bored of the optimus ui...evn g2 has the same ui with minor changes here and there plus full of bloatwares plus no assuarity of gettin updates plus the glossy plastic makes it look cheaper than N5 but in real lyf is expensive than the N5.
People gettin the g2 is only bcoz of larger battery who need 6+ hours of SOT...if u r not a gamer then the N5 battery ll b enuf to last the whole day..

I'm coming from an old 'dumb' phone, most of my friends and family have iPhones. What attracted to me was Google speech recognition. I'm very pleased with my Nexus 5 purchase. I absolutely love speech dictation SMSs and emails. while it's not perfect, it's way better than Siri. I'm very pleased with the sound quality of music playback, but only through the headset, not through the speaker. I listen to music using the app, Fusion and Yuin PK2 ear buds. I think that the Nexus 5 plays as well if not better than my iPod, which will soon be put up on eBay. I find that navigating and setting up KitKat a bit laborious. the iPhone is easier to navigate around. Apple's IOS is definitely more user friendly and more intuitive. Android is often unclear and not obvious. It took me quite a while to just figure out how to add different ring tones and notification sounds as well as how to select different ringtones and alarm and notification sounds. But, with XDA-developers forums, I figured it out. KitKat is logical, but IOS is a simpler and a more obvious interface. Basically, battery life sucks, but I think that after my first month of playing and exploring, battery life may improve for me. GPS is fine and camera is adequate. Though I'm usually critical about things, I'm having a lot of fun with my Nexus 5 and am very happy with my purchase. I prefer plain vanilla Android over other phones and carrier's skins, bloat and their flash and trash.

The signal on the Nexus 5 is far better than my Galaxy Nexus. I get LTE (Sprint) in areas I didn't get it before and in areas I had LTE before I have a faster connection. Compared side by side, the Gnex signal is 10db lower than the Nexus 5.
Coming from the Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus 5 is a huge improvement in all areas. Faster overall, better battery life, better signal.

I live in Forest Hills, Queens, NY and just joined TMobile's $30/month-100 min/Unlimited [email protected]/Unlimited text and I get 3-4 bars on my Nexus 5, inside the basement office of my house. No loss of signal and no dropped calls. WiFi works fine, from basement located WiFi 'n' router to 2nd floor. On the 2nd floor the WiFi graphic on the phone looks weak, but always connects.
Connectivity on my N5 is very good..!!
Itz better than the z1..my roommate owns a z1 faces some problem ovr wifi connectivity which is not the case for me..
Overall connectivity is v.gud on N5
If my post helped u a bit...help me by pressin the THANK button!!!
Overall really good phone. Display is beautiful. Battery life is good on stock and great if you want to install a custom kernal (such as franco's).
GPS is quick to lock and never had any issue. Signal is really good too. Great device all around.

Not true at all. The N5 has the best signal of any device on the market right now. It has been proven in real world test as well as my own tests using signal meters.
If you are having signal issues I suggest it is not your device but some other factor on the network end.
Either that or your device is defective and is an outlier.

My Wifi signal is good.
I am having issues with my WiFi. Slow speeds, frequently dropped signal. Very frustrating. I have noticed multiple signals coming from the same source. So I am going back to try and eliminate those to see if its my phone or my router. I will say these phones do not like multiple signals in an area.

Same as s5
I actually have a decent test for wifi. In my house, there's a shop a few (probably 6) hundred feet away, and if I leave my phone searching for wifi signals for a little bit, it powers up the antennas to the point it can pick it up, barely. This was all on my s5. So I figured, if this phone can do it, then it's the same. And I tried today, and it seems to be about the same, maybe a touch better. Which, I think is pretty good considering the difference in materials.
