I used to have semi good signal reception with my Nexus 5 at my work, but currently I have No reception and it becomes really annoying.
The only thing that have changed in the last two weeks was the new update of android to 5.0.1 so it was my first guess as the cause of this problem, but after google the issue it seems that the problem was existed even for previous versions.
Any one has any idea?

What do you mean by different modem

Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.
I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

What particular modem are you using?
I'm open to suggestions from anyone for a modem to flash.

Flash them and see how it works for you. It takes all of 30 seconds

Sounds like a handoff issue. Try CI3

Thank you for the suggestion, I flashed it last night and so far so good. :thumbup:

Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

I know no one is following this post at this point but I thought I'd post a final update about how i resolved the last issue I mentioned in the post above, just in case someone else has this same issue and searches the forum later.
I fixed my reception with 4G accidentally, i flashed the Lightning Zap v3 kernel to improve battery and lo and behold, reception hand off is fixed!!

I'm a proud owner of a Nexus 4 and last time I was trying to find my way from Seattle to Kirkland when all of a sudden I hear my Navigation say ,"GPS signal lost"and I'm thinking,"What? On my Nexus 4." Yeah this isn't the first time it's happened, it has happened quite a few times. I'm beginning to think,"I wonder of this happens on IOS, should I trade my Nexus 4 for an I5?"

If you're rooted, update your modem. If not, try updating your PRL and profile. Not an issue with the phone itself though I wouldn't think.

Ever since Ive had my nexus 5 Ive noticed weaker lte signal on t-mobile. I have a nexus 4 that has the .33 radio that i flashed and i get lte in more places & better speeds. Both are using the same t-mobile APNs, for example on my nexus 5 half of my home I get HSPA+ and on the other half I do get LTE i guess I'm just in the middle of two towers that reach me. On the nexus 4 though, I always have LTE In my house and In more areas where the nexus 5 doesn't. I then later flashed the cataclysm rom and thought maybe it would help but nothing, I did find a setting within cataclysm to force lte always on and I get even more LTE service than on the nexus 4, but it takes up a lot of battery. My issue is Im back on stock KitKat and dont have that feature and T-Mobile LTE is just weak. Is it just my nexus 5 or have other people expirenced this too?

I'm located in Forest HIlls, NY On KitKat 4.4, I usually get 3-4 bars, indoors/basement. After updating to 4.4.2, I still get 3-4 bars. Like real estate, it's location, location, location.

Do a search for EFS and Modems, there's a thread that has a link to all of them. Some have said earlier radios like from 4.4 get better signal. I'm on 4.4.2 stock radio and didn't see any change from one to another but that's just me. In Brooklyn and Manhattan NYC mostly btw.

But there's sparse evidence any are better on LTE specifically. In theory, the latest should be the best. I get 4 bars LTE and 30Mbps d/l, yet get 5 bars H+ and 12Mbps d/l...so clearly despite a lower overall signal strength, my download performance remains perfectly acceptable.
Hi all,
I got my phone 5 days ago and since then, it looses signal about 6 times a day in places where there is full signal.
I used to own Galaxy S2 and never had this issue before.
I'm using the same carrier and living in the same place so the only thing that has changed is the phone.
I was wondering if it's a known issue, if there's a fix or should I RMA this?
Thanks!
Happened to me until the updates. Are you on 4.4 still?
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Nope, as soon as I got the phone it was on 4.4.1 and then upgraded to 4.4.2
Same thing is happening to me, and from what I've Google'd, heaps of others as well.
Hoping 4.4.3 (or whatever they will call the next one) will fix these issues. I switched to a new carrier, to get the Nexus 5 (I could've stayed with my old carrier and got it, but I was unhappy with them). There is so many issues with the Nexus 5 and my new carrier, its not even funny.
I hate it when my phone LOSES the signal.
It still happens to me once or twice a day. Turning on airplane mode for a few seconds fixes my signal.
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Happens to mine constantly. Pos.

Have you checked your APN's in the phone at all?

Yes. The APN is set automatically.

With what can I compare it to? The way I was able to recreate this is when switching to 2G from 4G or 3G

Compare your APNS to your network standard APNS. Simply Google that and you should be able to find it. I would Google it for you but I don't know your network.

After the latest S5 announcement I'm now ready for the n5. I am coming from S3 on sprint and for the time being I will stay with sprint. My question is...with Samsung s3 if I install a ROM any ROM CM for example the handover between LTE 3g 2g is sluggish I believe its because of some proprioty software (though I am not sure) is this an issue with the n5? Basically is this CDMA/LTE problem or Samsung?

Its a Sprint problem... Depends on the tower... Sprint used different hardware/contractors.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I understand that but the question surrounds the handoff when there is a custom ROM like CM. When using TW its an non issue. So my question is will the handoff be okay with N5 and CM because the N5 doesn't use the propriatory software Samsung does.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk now Free
The short answer is yes...just not as bad..
Here is my experience:
I came from a Samsung galaxy nexus that I had about 4 different Roms loaded on. I could never find a 4.4 ROM that would do a good job on LTE/3g handoffs. My favorite ROM ended up being the Avatar 4.2 ROM.
With the gnex, I would be in a known 4g area but it would show 3g until I would cycle the airplane mode.
When I moved to the Nexus 5 three weeks ago, I was hopeful those issues would be over. Right now I'm rooted with the boot loader unlocked but running the stock ROM.
So. far I've tried 2 custom Roms but keep coming back to stock. I still notice the slow radio handoff but it is less frequent and not as often....but still there.
I hope that helps.
Yes it does ty.
