I bought a Nexus 5 from the US and am using it in India on a vodafone carrier. 2g calls work fine.
3g data does not. When i turn data on, it turns to H - > 3g -> and no signal and the cycle continues. I have tried replacing the sim twice to no avail. Is this a modem problem ? Should I flash to a different one ?

Hmm. Sounds strange. You running any custom software? Have Preferred Network Type on the best selection for your network? Have the correct APNs? Those are usually the main culprits of issues like this.
My nexus kept changing between H and 3g and I couldn't figure out why. Eventually the reason behind it was my preferred network type got changed to 3g instead of LTE. So I would check that first.

So the radio is crashing?
How about doing a *#*#4636#*#* and then selecting menu (3 dots) and do radio selection and then choose EURO frequencies and see if that helps?
Looks like I might have a solution for this, which I will try later in the day. This is definitely an issue with the carrier and not with the phone itself. The carriers themselves do not support the phone, hence you would need to get your sim card activated on a known good phone and then once its activated, use it on the nexus 5. I will confirm this tonight.

The US version has different radio bands than the international version. That could be why you are having issues.
North America (D820) model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World (D821) model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

That switching is intended. The phone idles on UMTS and when data is called it switches to HSPA as indicated by the icons. It's not supported in all T-Mobile markets, but it is on mine and presumably yours.

Please PM me if the issue is resolved.
Hey guys,
So my Nexus 5 stopped working the other day, and I sent it for repairs. It's come back now and I got a new SIM. Airtel 4G here in New Delhi, India. The problem is, it will only show me a 2G connection/no signal at times. I don't know what to do. The SIM works in other phones perfectly well. I've tried going to *#*#4636#*#* and changing to WCDMA only. Doesn't work. What is the alternative solution guys?
The phone was bough in the USA but before it got repaired, 3G worked flawlessly. So at least that should work, if not 4G.
Thanks,
Crazysah
No one has had this problem? Or no one knows a solution?
Hi, Airtel as I see operate in 2G (GSM, EDGE), 3G (HSPA+) and 4G (TD-LTE band 40). But Nexus 5 (USA model) D820 doesn't support TD-LTE (band 40), so for sure you can't connect to 4G. But 2G and 3G should be ok. You can reset network settings and check again.

Yes. 3G should work at least. But it isn't and that's the problem. Before repairing it, it used to work with my mom's Vodafone 3G connection. What's the solution here?
Can you try to restart and after that change to "GSM auto (PRL)" from *#*#4636#*#* menu? Are you tested other device with this SIM in the same location ?

Tried that. With no luck. I changed it to GSM auto (PRL) and stayed on that menu. Still showing E with full signal strength.
Any idea guys?
Nobody at all has any solution to this?
i had this problem on my d821 eu version in algeria same problem as you sometimes i got 3g but no lte :/ it got boring so i sold it tried every rom on every android version official and unofficial diffrent radios and basebands it just doesnt work you should say goodbye to it sorry
I bought an M8 last month and with a luck like mine I got a Verizon variant.
The problem is it won't connect to 2g networks ( connects to 3g and 4g networks fine. )
First I thought Verizon variant won't be supporting GSM or 2g networks but I did my research and found that it supports GSM networks. My network gives excellent coverage for 2g in my area . My network's 3g and 4g coverage is really poor in my area so I am left with 2g only. If I set it to global mode, it will connect as long as 3g or 4g signals are available but will go on limited service once there are no 3g or 4g signals.
In network settings if I select GSM only it does not work. The network mode remains unchanged . All other network modes can be selected but not GSM only.
Even by dialling *#*#4636#*#* I can't select GSM only.
If I set it to GSM/UMTS/LTE it will connect to only 3g or 4g but will show limited service once there are no 3g or 4g signals .
I have tried a patch for Verizon phones with no 2g options but still no use.
It would be nice if I could any help what could be the problem.
It can't be hardware related because if the modem is damaged then 3g and 4g should also not work.
Hey there,
I am not sure if my phone supports 3G or not, i can connect to LTE just fine but when i set it to 3G only it shows 4G instead of 3G. Does this phone even support t3G?
Model number is SM-G930T.
Thanks.

verify that you are in a location that gets a good signal and that it says you get 4g lte data. then goto connection settings>mobile networks and tap on network mode and choose the option in the screenshot. if it doesnt change do a factory reset. if that fails either get the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with odin or call samsung for a replacement. also verify that theres no upgrades or problems in your area by calling customer care and that your house doesnt limit your signal. my house sometimes limits mine due to it being metal all around. in that case putting your phone in a window fixes it. if you want to avoid that contact tmobile to get a signal booster for your house. update: in the *#2263# menu make sure to choose reset on both LTE and WCDMA in disable band.

It looks like we have the same problem,
After I root, unlock the phone.
Insert sim card
It will only show 2G networks.
I'm confused right now.lol
Which country are you in?
Asia? china?

This phone doesn't have certain bands asia uses. you may need to buy the sm-j327u (samsungs unlocked version of this phone that can work on cdma and gsm carriers.) the sm-j327t1 was designed for the united states.
to fix this problem install (Force Lte Only).apk from play store go to phone information>Network mode>Select WCDMA ONLY!
it will fix the problem as well as you'll have all option enable i the network mode!

Need some help here, still stuck on 2G. Though I don't have a T-mobile sim card, the device is said to be unlocked (by @ashyx ), so I want to use my sim card. So what am I supposed to do (I've tried everything listed here so far, no luck)?

Orange, like in the other thread. APN set to default also, just in case.

Have you checked which bands your network supports against the bands your device supports?
You may have to open the network settings and modify the bands if possible.
Also which firmware are you running, you may need to flash the modem from the orange firmware?
