Lollipop destroys cell service - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Downloaded lollipop on my rooted nexus 5 and everything is working perfect except cell reception. I have no coverage in my basement where before I had at least one bar and can make phone calls. Any help would be appreciated I just need to be able to make cell phone calls from my basement. I'm on AT&T network

Flash an old modem. There is a thread somewhere but the first hit on Google for "nexus 5 modem" will pull it up.

[Q] APN settings for Simple Mobile

Tried searching and could not find any settings that worked for me. On my N4 I used what is on the simple mobile site and I had internet but no mms. Now I cant even seem to get the internet to work. I have tried different settings I found online but none seem to work for my N5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Confirmed working on simple mobile.
Make sure you select simple mobile network from available network.

Quick update. Switched to 3g and data is faster. May just be my area.

What are these data issues you speak of? Flash the latest radio that should help with any problems.

What I notices that, whenever the phone picks up LTE network, the signal strength bar resets to 0 then back to full. This is also when phone calls get dropped. Have repeated the Scenario several times and proved that is the cause of my call drops. So I think it is most likely a software issue.

I've been running this edit for a few days now, and have noticed there is a faster connection from 3G to HSPA in my office, which is a plus for me. Can't speak to any other benefits the edit may bring, but I can vouch for the edit making the N5 even better.

I'm not taking about making calls the n5 gas issues when switching between towers I will lose signal for a while and cant receive or call any text. Its not the network because on my lg g2 the signal is way better and I gave searched the internet and there's tons of people having the same issues as I am having.

Did you flash the latest radio like I posted?
Are you on any special ROM? Using smart radio on gravity box or cataclysm? I sometimes have an issue with no signal on smart radio.

Try .15 radio and go ahead and do those edits. I did them and they seem to help as well as the .15 radio.
