Nexus 5 Unable to make use of Lollipop? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm having some crazy issues with my nexus 5..
So I'm not new to flashing, how to properly flash/ect, but no I do not know how to logcat When all else fails i fully wipeout the phone and flash factory and then reflash to whatever rom.
Anyways this is the issue:
When installing any lollipop roms save for pure white lollipop rom (I think it was pure white..something like that...) I can send texts for about 2 hours but then I'm unable to send/recieve any more texts for the duration that I have the rom on my phone. I mean ANY lollipop rom.
So it must be a radio problem right?
Tried flashing the radio I know works KTU84Q (4.4.4 Release 2) / KTU84 P.
Clean flash w/radio = NO SIM
Dirty flash w/radio = NO SIM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wipe phone and install ANY KitKat rom:
Everything works perfectly.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to really use lollipop because that's where all the development is heading..but it just seems that if I do use it..I won't be able to text or do anything aside from hangouts wifi :/
*EDIT* I've double/triple/quadruple checked my apn settings are correct.
Carrier: T-Mobile.

Does it work on stock L images?

No data after flashing custom rom.

My phone came with 4.4, I rooted using iO and got my recovery using the Rec app. If I flash a stock rooted 4.4 rom (pretty pointless really) my data works fine. If I flash a rom such as that Power User one or AOSP based roms, I have no data. If I check the APN its intact and correct but nothing works except talk and text.
Ive done a full wipe before installing these roms.
Okay this is the same situation I'm having except my data drops at the MOST inconvenient times! My phone was OTA updated to 20k when I got it so it's safe to say I'm on the most recent modem, and also rooted the same way with locked bootloader. I've tried the "KitKat AOSP" modem and get the data drops also.
Can someone please shed some light on this situation?

[Bug][Solved] Can't make or receive calls when Wifi is enabled

For a week or two now, I've been having a strange issue, if my WiFi is on I can't call or people who try to call me get the notice that I'm unreachable.. SMS works fine. If I disable WiFi and use mobile internet everything's fine.
Don't know what triggered this?!
I don't have the time to investigate properly, so I thought I'd throw it on XDA..
I have flashed different Radios and a few 4.4.4 AOSP Roms, no luck..

I would flash the factory image and see if you still have the problem. If you do it's probably a hardware issue and I'd rma the device

when you receive this problem just go menu about and scroll down , you will see KTU84P or TU84M or other , so you need just to flash this one as same version i men if you cell KTU84P so use same to Radio file
and for wipe device , you do it or no , no problem because on my shop i reveice allot of phones so no have time to backup i just flash radio to preserve information for customer and 60% working and network 3G/LTE fixed if not fixed so you need to pass to second step (full flash )
for full flash i use : Factory Images "hammerhead" for Nexus 5 (GSM/LTE) from thsi site : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
ask me any time if you still need help

Finally!
I managed to fix it.. W00t!!
I think I get it now, I tried reflashing factory image, KTU84P latest for me (I'm in Belgium), but that didn't work, then I thought about wat the stock rom was when it was shipped, I guessed it was the KOT49H build, so I kept the system image from KTU84P and flashed the radio image from the KOT49H build and voila! it worked.. So I think you have to flash the radio that the cellphone was originally shipped with..
Anywayzz I'll keep you posted how things end up when I flash other roms again.
Thanks again for the advice hitibiti !!

I know..
**BUMP**
So i've been f****** around some more and found out that I only experience the no calling during wifi bug using a modem version radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.XX.X.XX I can always fix it again by flashing a previous version starting with 1.0.XX.X.XX this is all on stock rom on every android version. Running LRX21O now with radio 1.0.25.0.23
Still think this is some weird sh** and why only handfull of people have this?
So simply said: from radio v2 upwards (which came with 4.4.3 update) when wifi is enabled I can't make calls and people can't call me..

Buying soon. Question concerning roms

So, I'm buying this to replace my evo 4g and I was wondering how I would go about using a custom ROM for this and having the apns and data working correctly.
I plan to activate it on Ting.
To be a bit clearer, I want to use a custom ROM and I want to be sure that it'll work. So first, can anyone on Ting confirm that they're running a custom ROM (preferably KitKat) with no problems?
And I assume I'd have to activate the phone first, then install a custom ROM. Would I have any problems doing that? Would the apns be messed up? Or should everything be fine as long as I activate the phone and update everything on stock before installing a ROM? Reason I ask is because I know some Roms don't allow the *#*# thing needed to activate a phone on a new network.
Thanks!
I am using mine on Ting. I had used my first Q as unrooted stock JB, which worked pretty well for a year, but then it reached a near--bricked state where it wouldn't boot past the yellow Sprint screen. I couldn't resolve this in a timely fashion, so wound up buying a second Q which runs stock ICS, but failed to download the stock JB update.
In the meantime, I unlocked both phones' bootloaders, and tried a few kItkat ROMs on my original phone before settling on CM 10.2, which is a JB ROM. I then switched my Ting activation (back) to this phone. The lack of #*# commands isn't really a problem with respect to re-activation, but it is a problem with respect to PRLs and (perhaps) APNs. I recommend Ting activation and a PRL update prior to installing your custom ROM.
Like others, I would like to learn about a stable kitkat ROM where bluetooth, wifi, and phone data/sms/calling all work reliably. My other primary requirement is the ability to play DRM'd downloaded Amazon Prime Music, which didn't work on the kitkat ROMs I tried, but does work on my JB ROM.

[Q] No Cellular Data after getting back to stock

Hello everyone,
I was on Lollipop 5.1.1 Stock and not rooted then i decided to give rooting a shot. I downloaded Cataclysm and flashed successfully. everything was fine then i discovered that there is no Cellular Data connection. Rebooted and tried all possible things but didn't work. Finally gave up and flash Cyanogenmod 12. worked perfectly, nothing was wrong and cellular data was fine. After a while i wanted to come back to the clean stock lollipop so i downloaded and flashed Factory Image of Lollipop 5.1.1. Weirdly the Cellular Data doesn't work, i have no idea why or what may cause the problem. Please note that my Nexus 5 is from Amazon Germany. I doubt that there might be something wrong with the radio image ( meant for US models ?!! ) but i don't know really or have no clue what might be causing this !!!!
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
FIXED
After spending 7 hours moving between different ROMs, i found out what was causing the problem of cellular data. The problem also exists after flashing stock image and Cataclysm. I noticed that on CM12 there was one option in the APN settings that was different from stock and Cataclysm. The MVNO type was set to None however in stock and Cataclysm it was IMSI. I don't know how or why would android change or decide that on its own and i also have no idea what does this option do. I guess that this may help many people who are suffering from the same issue ( also people who updated stock ran into same problem )
Don't know where you are but, every time that has happened to me a hands free activation fixed it.

SMS app and mobile data toggle

Hello, I've been using my moto g since it came out, a few months ago, when I was using CM 12, I've noticed that my 3g wouldn't toggle it, I mean, I wasn't able to turn it on, even with the "on" mark, the mobile data wasn't on, so I went back to 4.4, and as soon as I installed it, I've realised that the SMS would be the next problem. See, when I try to send a SMS, when choosing the contact would cause the APP to break, and even with 3rd party apps, the problem would remain, hope that somebody has the answers to those problems, sorry for my grammar, this freaking auto correct is driving me crazy.
This is pretty much guesswork as I'm not sure what model you have, the recovery you used, if you clean flashed everything etc' but.....I have a few ideas about what might have been(is) the problem(s).
I think your 3G issue was due to having a Kit Kat radio (modem) on a lolilliop ROM.... Did you flash the proper radio when you made the jump from 4.4 to LP?
As far as the MMS app breaking I'm assuming it force closes. My first question is did you clean flash the kit kat rom?
If so. And maybe even before clean flashing I would go to your app settings and clear data on your phone app, MMS, and also reset defaults to see if it provides a solution.
If not, most certainly a clean flash,wipe everything in recovery, except internal storage and reflash your rom and Gapps.

I used TWRP, and followed the official tutorial from here, can't remember if I did flash the radio, how do I flash it? Where can I find a tutorial for it? Couldn't find on the web, guess I'm not searching the right terms...
And for the SMS, can't remember aswell if I did clean flash, how is it made? Sorry for asking such things, I made this about 10 months ago...
First I would upgrade your recovery if it is 10 months old. My recommendation would be 2.8.7.0 for stability purposes. DL from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621
You can find the radio you need from here. It is a flashable zip which I'm assuming you already know how to flash if you already are rooted with custom recovery. Make sure you flash the correct radio for your device. Know your model number. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649763
If you are going from Kit Kat to LP or above you will also need to update your bootloader. The link will go into detailed info why and how. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-questions-t2996087/post59520890#post59520890
Keep in mind you should decide your desired final result before anything. CM13(MM), CM12.1(5.1) then get everything(files) you need depending upon what you are trying to do. A flashable ROM of your choice and the coinciding Gapps package are the only other things I can think of to get you up and running.
