SMS getting mixed - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have this problemen that some messages are mixed up when sending them to someone else.
For example :
Message 1: How're you ? It's been a while.
Message 2: Yo bro whazzup , it's been a while ago since we last saw etother.
The receiver would get : Yo bro whazzup, it's been a while.
This is just an example, the text just get's cut everywhere and the messages could be from total different date.
Please help me, some of those messages which're mixed up may once have a bad reaction or so
I tried :
Factory reset.

It's a carrier problem. I'm on T-Mobile LTE and still get it from time to time. Aside from getting a new carrier the only way to solve this is to possibly talk to your carriers tech support and explain the issue, maybe have them reprovision your line.. Or they might be working on something like a cell tower near you.

What a scare thanks AT&T

So just a little while ago all my calls started failing (I had made a couple a changes to my phone last night), so I thought I had a bad flash (reception dropped from nearly full (on the indicator) H to no service). I went to my Nandroid backup only to have the same thing happening. I was starting to panic, thinking that my radio had died (I had a heat related reboot yesterday) when my wife (who has a samsung slider feature phone) asked if I was having issues making phone calls. Turns out that I currently have to put my phone into GSM only mode to make/receive calls & texts. Sadly, I can't figure out how to do the same with the wife's phone.
Moral of the story is, AT&T has network issues, don't assume that every problem has to do with a custom ROM/ modified phone.
Your right should always check with ATT first. They are doing a lot of upgrades to there network right now. I have a lot of friends saying they have reception issues right now. So if you have issues try asking a friend also on ATT in the same area if they are having problems to. I personally think ATT should post on there website affected areas or even a txt to let people know that there might be trouble with there service.

Have you tried a different Sim in your phone? Or tried your existing Sim in another phone?
This doesn't sound like an option setting

england? anyone got an idea what causes it? I never had this problem with this sim in my htc hd2
I have been having the same issue, not receiving calls and then getting a text message about 10 minutes later from my provider notifying me that I have missed said call lol.
Try changing your network settings to 2G only, I've been looking into this issue recently, and I came across a thread somewhere that it can be caused by the phone getting stuck in HSDPA or HSUPA mode, and not changing back to 2G to receive calls and text messages, or something to that extent.
TL/DR
Try 2G only, report back.

There are, for some people at least, problems with s/w 1.47.xxx.x (Settings->About phone->Software information) - see

If you read through these posts you'll see incoming calls failing/going straight to voicemail is one of the issues noted. Some posts suggest HTC have admitted there is a problem.

Nexus 5 dropping me off Network ??

So I got my nexus 5 on Friday and its perfect none of the mentioned defects was having some small issues with the notification light but that's all. However I noticed once a day since getting it I go to use my phone and it says emergency only / Rogers and I won't be able to make calls or receive calls. Anyone else experiencing this problem ?

I'm on Bell and for some reason sometimes I'd have no signal out of no where then it'll jump back to full bars the next second... Really annoying unless this is a normal thing for the Nexus 5

I'm on Rogers and I get this too. I usually fix it by going into network mode and change it to 3G and back to LTE immediately.
I still get incoming calls even though I can't dial out until I do the above change.
Its network problem not the nexus 5

I have the similar problem i'm on rogers and if the signal gets weak it will show signal strength in the home screen, i can surf the internet(data), but will not send text messages or make calls, if I try to make a call it say "cellular network not available", if i turn air plane mode on then off it reconnects right away. this has never happened with my GE Galaxy S4

I have the exact same issue guys, I hope that it has nothing to do with our nexus 5's.
im getting this error too. darn! its not normal for a phone to be like that. never happened to my previous one.
there must be something wrong with the phone.
im on Fido.
but its only happening to canadian network? weird.
maybe they're torturing people who didnt buy from them? lol
It looks like I have a similar issue.
My connection sometimes gets lost. Some sort of hiccup when connected to mobile network.
No issues found on WIFI
I'm on a hspa network in Canada and wanted to report that I get worse reception with the N5 than I did with my Galaxy S2. I hope it is easy fixable with a new modem flash or other update.
Just wanted to contribute in case there is anyone working on this and wanted some more info.
I had to change my data plan because, according to T-Mobile (US) it was not compatible with the phone. I could get emails and SMS text messages but could not get Internet data services (kept being prompted to log onto the network and presented with the T-Mobile logon screen). Lost my unlimited data, which I was grandfathered into (but found out that they were throttling me at 5 GB which I don't usually hit). I knew they would eventually make me change my plan anyway and was able to get a new 4.5 GB plan at the same price. Since T-Mobile will be offering this phone very soon (tomorrow? they're taking pre-orders now), I guess a lot of long-time customers will be pushed off their unlimited data plan.
I have the same problem!! It's really annoying - mine gets dropped every 2-5 mins! Is there a way to fix it? Is it the N5 or Rogers network?
I have the same problem in Belgium:

If you are constantly getting poor signal it might be the handset. If you have good signal, and can use data, but have "Emergency calls only" instead of a carrier name, it's probably a carrier issue.
I am on Fido and have randomly had the same problem. There's another thread somewhere, and most if not all people reporting the problem are Rogers/Fido customers.

good point though... i don't see anyone from other canadian carriers complaining.
I also have this problem. I am on Fido in BC. Sometimes it will completely cut off the network signal from full bars to no service, similar to no sim card installed. It goes back to normal in about 5-6 seconds by itself but its definitely annoying.

I too am experiencing this and i'm in the UK. Just wanted to let you know that this may be more widespread thank we think.

It is a software issue. I switched to a different ROM and kernel.
Cataclysm ROM and bricked Kernel.
So far, the connection is solid with this combo.

So those of you having Sprint LTE issues, how are you handling it?

Just curious as to what others are doing to deal with this issue (discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47276465 ).
I just bought my N5 two days ago and, while I have an iPhone 5s to fall back on, it would be really nice to be able to use the phone that I just bought. I was thinking of setting up a Tasker profile or something to switch radios based on some factor or another. Maybe let it drop to 1xRTT when on WIFI (when I'm home or at work) and use LTE elsewhere (I like to stream music in my car with my phone - 1xRTT is no good for that ). I really just need a way to see when someone has attempted to call, so that I can call back. Oh well. Someone will figure something out.
So how about you? What are you doing to cope?
Using a different phone?
"Screw everyone who calls me, I need DATA" ?
"Sprint can suck it, I'm switching to [other carrier] because this is the phone I want." ?
Something else?
Hate to double post, but I thought people might like to know.
For whatever reason today I felt compelled to switch back to my N5 from my iPhone 5s. To do so on Sprint (apparently) requires a factory reset.
After factory resetting and reactivating my Nexus 5, it magically works the way it should. LTE when I need data, but I still get phone calls and texts like normal.
Unless Sprint literally fixed the problem overnight, I have no idea what happened.
So if you're having the tri-band LTE issue feel free to give this a shot. I'm located in Central PA, for what it's worth.

it could have been an error in activation possibly causing the problem. a simple prl and profile update may have fixed the issue for you initially. if you didnt try that, that is.
No I'm in Hagerstown and lte just started working last night for me too. Now my problem is making phone calls. When I'm on Lte I can't make phone calls. I cant receive them just fine but wjen I try to call out it says call sent and immediately says call ended. Can u make calls on Lte?

I had tried the PRL and profile updates when I was trying to get it to work last night, as per some instructions that, I think, I found on Sprint's website.

Poor call reception

Hi guys , I bought my pixel a month ago and I'm getting poor call reception , so ,I'm missing most of the incoming calls as people are getting not reachable message when they try to call me..
Can someone help me with this to identify whether the problem is on my phone or my operator network issue..?
Thank you in advance..

That is true my bro
This phone gets the worst reception I've ever gotten from any phone going all the way back to the original Nokia. If I didn't have WiFi calling it'd be totally useless.
My first Pixel got significantly better reception then my replacement one, sadly.
So, everyone got the same problem..
Is Google even aware of this issue
Can it be fixed by any modem update or something?
Here's one of the treads on their support site. https://productforums.google.com There's a lot of guessing and this fancy new technology that doesn't work well with some networks could be a cause https://www.qualcomm.com/videos/qualcomm-rf360-dynamic-antenna-matching And there's talk of has something to do with Android N as some on Nexus devices that just upgraded are having problems. I'm leaning toward cheap HTC antennas.

In my case it's gotten worse bro..During the call itself, voice reception gets stopped..
Shall I get my phone replaced? It's still under warranty (11 months more)
Or every phone has the same problem?
If you're still in the timeframe, I'd just get my money back. If not then I'd try a replacement though you'd probably get a refurbished one. I use wifi calling at home and don't have any problems when I'm out and about. But I'm on Verizon in the US so your network may give you more problems. Google has admitted to microphone issues which might be your problem so if you get a replacement I'd be demanding a new phone.
