Barely have a network most of the time - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I decided to flash a stock Rom and not use Carbon Rom, after using carbon as my daily driver for months, I barely have a network(may be a coincidence). It kills my battery also. At home I never have service unless I'm down the block outside I have LTE and its fine. I have the latest radio btw. It seems like it started when I started using Franco kernel, but its probably a coincidence bc what does that have to do with my network...any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Factory reset? Change radio? Flash stock kernel?

Change radio? Shouldn't I use the latest radio? Guess I'll factory reset and try stock kernel in a few min

You should use whichever radio works best for you. If you've changed radio and now your signal is worse, you don't need to be a genius to realise the first thing to try is the radio you were on before the problem started

Sry to annoy you, but I flashed the November radio build. The radio I had when I bought the N5 and its working great now. I didn't factory reset, I just wiped cache and flashed it.

Good stuff. Radio is always first step if you changed it.

[Q] Nexus S Random call problems

Hi to all,
I have a ramdom problem with my Nexus S. Sometimes, when I try to make a call, the phone seems to work well but the call fails. The screen remains as if trying to establish the call but this is not done.
I think that the problem is only to make calls but I can receive it without problems.
When the error ocurs, is needed to stop the data conection (eg APNDroid) and then the Nexus works again... till the next error. I have this problem the 30% of the times (more or less).
I asked in spanish forums and a lot of people has the same problem.
Is this a known bug?... and the solution?.
I have the low signal problem too?.
I'm sorry to say that bus this is my 3rd Android phone (the first official google) and is the worst that I never had!!!.
Please, help!!!!
I had the same problem too....
Any help?

Hi,
Are you stock or rooted?
If rooted, what ROM?
When did the problem start?
When was the last time you updated your PRL or your phone profile?
The more info the better everyone on these forums can help.
Good luck

Well ID first update profile & PRL. Im not sure which ROM has that option. Some do some don't. Just go to settings/about phone and tap the tab that gives the option.
If not then flash back to ur original ROM if u have it to do the above.
If that doesn't work maybe try to see if its an app that is causing it. Just flash a ROM but do not add anything to it. Make the calls to check it.
I'm on Slimbean and I have no issues if u want to try that ROM.
Good luck

Flash a ROM, lose 3G? Help please.

I'm having an issue changing ROMs. I was originally a CM user, but I've been running Evervolv for the last few months. I decided to flash CM again yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine for a bit, until I turned off the wifi and realized I wasn't getting a 3G signal.
I tried rebooting, reflashing, messing with the settings for quite awhile and nothing seemed to help. Eventually I decided to wipe again and flash a Sense ROM. I STILL could not get a 3G signal. After much experimenting I wiped again and flashed Evervolv back onto the phone. Much to my dismay, no 3G.
Finally I restored my nandroid backup I made before I loaded CM and surprisingly everything works just fine again and the 3G is back to normal. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I'm not a noob at flashing ROMs, I've had a few different ones on the Shift and tried many on the Hero before that, but I must be making a silly mistake somewhere.
If anyone has any ideas or can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
Unsure but evervovle had messed up my phone to when I first got my phone, i had to RUU just to reset... So I'm gonna say unless someone else offers a viable option, hit the 2.2 RUU

Thanks thronnos. If no one else seems to know the cause of this I'll give that a shot.
You said you nand back and now 3G is working.. So if you flash a fresh ROM now does 3G continue working or only while using the nand??
I tried to flash another ROM this morning, 3G still didn't work. Had to nand back again to get it to work.

I think your best option would be to run the ruu.

Thanks for your help guys, everything's working great again!
For anyone else who runs across this problem, going back to the RUU and rerooting your phone WILL fix this issue.
The ruu is a great tool to have. Glad you got it worked out

Aosp rom data issue

I have an issue when I flash any Aosp rom. After initial install I have strong 4G but if I reboot phone for any reason I lose all data. My imei is there and phone number is there. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
sounds like your on the fringe of strong lte coverage...the latest ril commits were suppose to help this. might try the latest pa or aokp build.
I'm on liquid rc5 right now and data is excellent. I haven't tried a reboot though. I'm wondering if it might make a difference if I reboot through recovery. Just a thought, maybe I'm just grabbing at straws, but this issue makes roms like paranoid kinda useless. Thanks for the reply.

i have been using paranoid since 2.13 and its been flawless when im in strong lte...never rebooted and lost data. if you toggle airplane mode on/off it wont come back?
Not sure, but I've never tried. I'm kinda new to this as this is my first rooted device, and im kinda learning as I go. I was on beans 13, then 14, but i can't resist trying out all these jb builds. I will give the airplane mode toggle a try. Thanks

I have the same issue with the new builds of JB ROMs. I do a clean wipe of everything and I flash the ROM, but when it boots in the beginning, I can sign into my gmail with data (even when I'm connected) and I have to use WiFi. Then when everything boots, I have no data and still connected to data (showing 3g) I do a reboot and it works for awhile and it goes out again. So I just went back to Beans14

I'm on liquid rc5 right now and everything seems to be working. But if I were to reboot my phone will not connect to data. The 4G icon pops up but never turns blue, and if I try Google Now or something else that requires a data it says no Internet connection. I have to be doing something wrong.?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe shut the phone off, remove sim card, and turn on without the sim card then shut phone off and put sim card back and turn phone back on. That might help.

It has worked for me on 2 GS3's. I was on stock TW though, I don't know if that'll make a difference.. it has something to do with updating your PRL or something like that, I can't really remember exactly what it updates. But it did work for me, it actually gave me better service.

Yes it has the other day after flashing liquid I was only getting 4g did that and it worked.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ok cool ill give it a shot. I'm really hoping that it works. Because some of these pa builds are really nice, and I'd probably use liquid rc5 as a daily if I could reboot my phone and have a data come to back.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hey man thanks. That actually worked, I'm not sure if my service is better but it came back after I shut down and did that procedure. I appreciate the help. I might actually be able to run one of those pa. Builds now.

i tried the same method as well too, but it didnt work for me. i dont know whats wrong, i think its just my phone because when i flash any AOSP rom, it doesnt connect to data after reboot. i do 3x wipes and what not but still nothing, my IMEI and phone number is all there so i dont know what it is. anyone have a idea??

Backed up my boot partition and flashed this. It felt noticeably slower after a few minutes so I restored my boot partition. Now my wifi will no longer turn on. How do I correct the issue? wifi will work when I reinstall but If I try to go back to the stock kernel it no longer will. This kernel is WAY slower than the stock kernel.

I have WIFI with your kernel but its SLOW and laggy as heck. When I got back to my stock kernel WIFI will not turn on. Can you post steps to restore the stock modules please.

a reflash of the nandroid boot partition did not work. Still no WIFI. However if I reflash your kernel wifi returns. What modules are being deleted?
Running smooth as silk over here! Does the faux app work on this phone and if so what are the recommended settings that you use please?
Really nobody else with sdcard issues? My 64gb card won't mount. Was working fine before installing kernel

Something is definitely up. Phone seems lagier and using Linpack I now get the same and lower results for Single Thread and Multi Thread. It's as if the other cores aren't being enabled.

My phone runs pretty smooth I have noticed though that the default clock speed is at 1ghz I believe that may be the reason why people are noticing lag ?
Also my WiFi speeds are normal.

I noticed that to 1036. I had to reflash my rom since it broke WIFI.
I noticed before I installed faux kernel app the the kernel is set to max cpu speed at only 1000,as soon as I raised it to stock speed it was working perfectly

fauxsound coding is actually done in my private build, but HTC did something non-standard and is conflicting with fauxsound kernel drivers.. that's why i didn't release it yet.. need to troubleshoot and see what HTC has done to the standard sound driver from Qualcomm...
HTC always do something different from everyone else including the reference design from Qualcomm.... Sometimes they OVER engineered...

Low bars and dropped calls. Help plz!

Hey all. My current setup is the Latest PA 4.43. Franco R57. Baseband M897A-2.050.1.16. I'm constantly getting dropped calls and I'm not sure where to go from here. I've already tried updating PRL and updating profile. Should I try an older radio? Flash diff kernel?

maybe its just your area? all areas cant be 100% great, there are areas with a bad/terrible signal:angel:. but trying other things wont hurt. if youre undervolting, it can affect it.
would a kernel affect calls in anyway? i just flashed stock 4.4.4 and r57 franco and cant make any calls and my bars drop to 0 when i try to. hmmm
