Nex5: No Cellular Service when LTE is ON - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys
I just flashed manually to Lollipop and I noticed that when my LTE signal kicks in I lose cellular network services like calls and text BUT I am able to download and browse. Happens also when I force my phone on LTE ONLY...same symptoms.
It didnt used to do that when I was on Kitkat

Signal Changing 3G H H+

Hi, I have the Wifi + 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110 and experiencing problems with the signal changing.
I connect to a website called Salesforce and whenever I input data my connection drops, I have noticed at the top the signal is constantly changing between 3G, H and H+ every 3 seconds. When connecting to this website through Wifi I have no problem.
I have changed options to just use 3G only but this still switches between the 3 network variances.
I have tried putting another web browser onto the tab and this had no effect.
I have double checked and triple checked the APN settings, deleted APNs, created new APNs and no luck.
I have also contacted my mobile data provider to see if they and just give me 3g access and no H or H+ but thats impossible on there side of things.
I currently have samsung stock 4.0.4 android software installed on the tablet.
Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue with the signal switching all the time?
This happened with me when i was in a place with bad coverage or inside a building. It cant maintain a stable connection so it switches to another.
When i got out of the building or moved to a place with better coverage the connection became stable at H+.
Hope this helps.
Also, if your tab is not locked to a provider try another provider.

3G data disable while on roaming

Hello,
I know there is a thread for this in Galaxy Note section, but i feel i need to share this for OPO community.
I'm using OPO v33 rom. I live in Mumbai and have a 3G vodafone postpaid corporate connection.
Recently i have been to my native mysore on few occasions, and everytime i have seen the 3G data getting disabled even when the data connection settings are enable on roaming.
I never faced this issue on my nokia lumia 920 which perfectly latched onto roaming and 3G data was available.
On roaming, with OPO, the data gets disabled and i dont get a specific "E" or "H" sign with + noticafion.
I only have the signal bars with small R icon on top of the bar.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this.
I have also seen this issue on v25 rom aswell.
Note: i have tried setting connectivity to automatic in mobile networks.. and also tried to select the specific Vodafone network. both didnt solve this issue.
Another interesting thing while on roaming: my nokia 920 recognised 2 networks for vodafone.. one with 2G, 3G and another with only 2G. and i could select the first one .. and 3G was getting enabled without any issues.
i think that E and H as well as H+ is only something you can geti n your own country. When roaming, it's always the default for that service prodiver in the country that you will get.

[Q] No SMS while on wifi, can't switch from wifi to cellular

My Nexus 5 is running Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop). Unlocked, not rooted. My carrier is Cricket. Here is what happens:
1. If the phone is connected to a WiFi network, I am unable to send text messages. The message will attempt sending for a while and then basically timeout. The app will report that the send failed. This will happen no matter what application I use (Hangouts, Google Messenger, chompSMS...). If I'm on the cellular network, texts send find. EDIT: Actually I'm seeing that's not actually true. Even when I'm on LTE, there's no guarantee messages will send. I can't actually detect a pattern here.
2. I am unable to switch from WiFi to cellular data by turning WiFi off. If I'm on WiFi and I disable Wifi in the Settings panel, the cellular indicator will change to show 2 or 3 bars of service with an exclamation point (!), seemingly indicating that I'm either not on the network or that I don't have data. If I reboot the phone I'll have full LTE.
I first started noticing the issues with text messaging back when I was running CM11 nightlies. Everything was fine and then a few weeks ago it started happening. I figured something had gotten messed up in those builds so I flashed to stock Lollipop but the problem persisted. I flashed to 5.0.1 and the problem remains. I also tried switching carriers from Cricket to T-Mobile, but T-Mobile service was so bad in my area that I had to switch back the next day; I didn't really get a chance to put it through its paces.
I know this is a weird one, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You said your rom is not rooted? That probably means the default network settings for your phone is LTE/3G/2G. That option will look for the best signal you have in your current location, then it will choose that data network i.e., EDGE .
It seems like your 4g/LTE signal is weak on your vicinity Perhaps, if you could force LTE (by rooting and installing Advance Signal Status app from Playstore [Device Info >Set Preferred Network Type > LTE only) you can have at least lte reception. Unless, 4g is not available in your area
Try going outside your house, and find open spot and see if your device was able to detect it.
Just let me know if you still have some concerns. Cheers!

Same problem for me. Same galaxy s6 model and same original android version 5.1.1 (g920fxxu3q0kn)
From a couple of days it doesn't connect on lte. But the big problem is that if I choose lte/3g/2g it doesn't connect neither in 3g. I have to force it to 3g only to let the device connect back to internet.
I don't know why but when I came back home, if I switch back on lte/3g/2g, it connect back again on 3g (no lte in my home area)
I'm not sure if it is involved with transit in/out wifi spot or some kind of lte cells. I will try other tests next days
I fear it could be a bad bug

S8 International, only h+/3g

Hi
It's like from the oreo update that my phones keeps stuck on h+ or 3g connection. With nougat I surf on 4g+ without problems when covered. Now in the same areas it won't connect to LTE. I can't force it becuase I can't access to the hidden menu its locked from the SW.
What can I do? It switch from h+ and 3g (with the 3g the velocity sucks..)
Already tried to reset my network setting from the reset settings.
If I put ONLY 2G also datas wont work, I stay offline. When i put 4g back it go in 4G but after few second it switch to h+ again. It's frustrating.
