[Q] Radio Not Turning On? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having this issue since day one. I bought the Nexus primarily for testing out the developer preview. I flashed to it, everything worked fine. But as soon as I entered my sim and restarted, phone turns it's radio off and displays "Please turn off Airplane mode to place a call" when dialing a number and displays no service.
Also through the code "*#*#4636#*#*", I noticed I couldn't turn on the radio through the "Turn On Radio" button. Whenever I press it, nothing happens.
If someone can help with this, then that be great!

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the OP, I have tried every factory image available for the Nexus 5. Nothing changes. Even tried relocking the bootloader and unlocking it. No clue what is wrong. :-/

Very strange... Do you have another SIM card to try? Not sure if it would make a difference, but it's worth a shot.
Edit: Haha I thought I was the only one crazy enough to consider getting a Nexus 5 just for the Dev preview XD
I didn't go through with it though.
...Not yet anyways

Huh must be a hardware defect then.
Are you considering an RMA?
Oh, and do you think I should go ahead with my idea to buy one for Android L (was it worth it)?

If flash factory image don't work, tray other SIM, if don't work use warranty.

No RMA. I would recommend you wait for the final release. I don't wanna blame Google neither I am sure but I think Android L messed up my Radio in the first place. So yeah, wait for release and try to see if the final one has it all sorted.

GSM Version?

Quick question, Will there be an GSM version of the Photon Q LTE? with removable SIM?
I'm talking about a different variant
the codename for the photon q is the asanti_c, there is a lot of reason to believe a gsm friendly version will come out that will be called just the asanti.

Shouldn't take much more than a hardware tweak on their end at least.

Correct.
It is codename Asanti and the model is XT898. Right now I know it will be for AT&T, but usually you can get an unlock codes for other carriers.
Code:
_._._.XT898-continuous.ATT.en.US
_._._.XT898.ATT.en.US
Great, let's hope other variants will have an unlocked bootloader

As long as the carrier allows them it should. Seeing as AT&T is the reason behind the Atrix HD not being unlocked, (hardware/software support it, just not the Unlock My Device page), I'd say the chance is slim.
There should be international version of the phone, from what I know (I don't know about AT&T version).
There should be one if only for the fact that this is the first high end QWERTY device I have seen in ages

I fixed that bug the day I got my glide, just replaced the APK from the one on OsiMood, and we already have an ICS Update, you have to plug your phone on a PC, start Kies, and search for updates.
I donĀ“t want to be disrespectful, but judging by your answer, I think that Angry Birds may be a little too complicate for your mental capacity, maybe you should try Pong, more apropiated for someone of your generation.

Buy now or wait for Prime?

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.
I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..
Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too
The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?
I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

How do I know if a oneplus one is a genuine 1

I've been offered a one plus one to buy for 250 but I always thought genuine ones said cyanogen on the back as the 1 I'm looking at doesnt. Is it a big problem if I got a Chinese 1 can I do all I can on it as a genuine 1. I'm in the UK is 250 a good price? Thanks
Chinese version is genuine. Just has less LTE support in America. In UK it's fine however. Check your carriers bands and the bands of the Chinese opo. If they match, go for it.
I have the Chinese its 100% genuine and original but lacks the CyanogeMod logo/markings on the rear this is obviously due to the Chinese versions not shipping with CyanogeMod but rather with ColorOS. And yes you can do EVERYTHING on it that you would be able to do on the international version. You need not worry. As you can also see below LTE shouldn't be a problem for you either in the UK,with a Chinese OPO.

I've been getting all my invites around the same time every month. 24th or 26th of each month, I've just bought my third one. Hoping to net one without the yellow, but so far I'm just selling them on eBay for a small profit. I hate eBay's 10% take, and PayPal' fee too...
Sorry guys I wasn't swearing at any of you so please don't take it like that. I said it as a saying. Like oh my god I cannot believe it but while I'm emailing the chap with the Chinese version. I literally get my invite at that point. Just thought it was a big coincidence. I wasnt having a go at any of you for the fact its came while I'm still waiting to be paid. Just a bit annoying as I don't want to miss it now its came. And I wasn't annoyed at either of you guys. There was nothing to swear at you about. you guys helped me with my question about if I got a Chinese version is there much difference. Then few minutes later I received my invite. I'm sure I can sort something out. Again no offence intended just wanted to say that as I didn't realise some took it to mean I was swearing at them but I wasn't.
I have the Chinese 16gb and the cm 64gb,there's no difference apart from the logo and obviously sd size. I flashed both with twrp and chucked the cm11s on the Chinese, both perfect.
Its all cool oneplus are currently processing my order

Seems a little more than just a camera update. Verizon has done a good job at locking down Motorola devices running 4.4.4, just saying I wouldn't take the OTA without already being s-off if you ever want to root again, I guess time will tell...
Also it improves the sound. the OTA changes firmware of audio components to newer than on Harman/Kardon version. It's first audio update I think for the "normal" version of One M8.
And fixes the cracking that can be heard at high volume with some headphones.

So, I don't get it. I actually just spoke to the guy who sold me the code on ebay and he will refund me the money because he cannot do the unlock for tmobile's V10. He says there is some new security involved since late 2015. So the phone can't be unlocked without an official device unlock app? This phone will be used overseas and Its unfortunately said blacklisted after about a month I purchased it off craigslist, even though it had an original box :0| I'm going slightly mad (c)
Is there anything I an do?

ok I'm gonna answer my own question here in case anyone needs help unlocking their lg v10 h901. T-mobile's changed their unlock security level in 2015 so everything has to be done through than device unlock app. Now it's like iphone and you cant simply buy a cheap unlock code from ebay because 2945#* model number # doesn't work anymore. I found this website onlineunlocks.com and successfully unlocked my new V10 with them. It cost $35, cheapest I could find. They also have great feedback, so any questions being answered shortly through email. Just a quick review guys, works 100%.
