Phone showing no network even though signal is there - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From the screenshot, it is showing the signal strength currently. But still my phone is not getting any network.
Basically I checked that am not getting any 2G signal on my phone. When there is 3G network available in the area I am getting 3G network. I tried forcing Preferred Network to 2G too but no success.

Only connecting to HSPAP when LTE is available?

I was at Disneyland today and I noticed that most of the time while inside the park it would only connect to HSPAP, and with the amount of people there, the speeds are usually abysmal, however if I go into the secret menu and choose "LTE only", it will connect to it and the speed and signal are perfectly fine.
After I connect to LTE via enabling LTE only, if I switch it back to LTE/GSM auto, it will stay on LTE for a while before dropping back down to HSPAP and not connecting to LTE unless I move out of the area or force it to connect.
This had never happened with my Nexus 4 when I enabled LTE on it. I've noticed that the Nexus 5 tends to switch to HSPAP more often than the Nexus 4 did (granted the radio was not intended for LTE on the nexus 4)
Does this have to do with the phone or my carrier (T-Mobile)?

[Q] Sprint - can't connect to 3G? LTE only.

I have the opposite of the LTE dropping problem I see most people have. I can't get 3G, but my LTE works fine (well, once it spazzed out after a PRL update and would only do 0.5mbs on LTE). At work, where I know I can't get LTE, but could get 3G with my Note 2 (and we even have a repeater), I can't get data. If I go to the window where I can barely get LTE and reset my antenna, it'll get LTE, and when I walk away it'll flash 3G for a second and go out. I still get several bars and can talk and text fine. Everyone else with 3G is fine. After thinking about it I realized that in the month I've had the phone I've NEVER been able to connect to 3G in places where I used to be able to. It's LTE or nothing. I'd be more than happy with 3G if the alternative is to read a book. Could this be a SIM card issue? Hardware? Firmware? It's annoying the hell out of me, I work 10 hour shifts at night, I need my data.
Just a follow up, I downloaded a network signal info app and it shows me having a solid 40% signal. Net type: will alternate between EHRPD, EVDO A, 1xRTT, and Unknown. Data state: will alternate between "Setting up data connection" and "no activity". It seems like it's looking for a connection but won't connect. I know the signal is there. The only time I can get the 3G logo to light up is right after going out of LTE range, it'll light up 3G for a few seconds and then go out. My coworkers with Sprint have confirmed the new repeaters we have are working, and I've confirmed it won't hook up to 3G at home like my old phone.

Losing network after each call with Verizon Note 4 on T-Mobile network PLEASE HELP

Hello all, first post here looking for some help.
Note 4 android version 5.0.1 (won't allow me to update further)
I have a Verizon Note 4 phone I am using on T-Mobile network. I have been using the phone this way for over 30 days. I get 3-4 bars at any given time and the phone pretty much stays in the same area at all times (give or take 100feet). I get download speeds of 20-35mbs off of a Verizon tower so no problems with signal.
I live in a very rural area in Texas with only Verizon towers around.
My internet works great on the phone and USB tethered to my computer using FoxFi key app (original Verizon tethering won't work due to the T-Mobile sim).
The problem I have is when I make a phone call. As soon as I make a phone call the 4G LTE symbol (with 3-4 bars of signal) on the phone goes from white to grey 1x as soon as it starts to dial and stays that way while I'm on the phone talking. As soon as I hang up the 1x goes away and the signal symbol changes, sometimes its H+, sometimes its 3G both of which are always grey and won't allow me to use the phone for calls or internet. Rarely it will go back to the 4G LTE signal. Even when it shows the H+ and 3G greyed out it still shows at least 3 bars of signal.
I have found a work around that works SOMETIMES. I go into settings > more networks > mobile networks > network mode > select LTE/ CDMA or LTE / GSM / UMTS until I get the 4G LTE signal back then switch back to the GLOBAL network so I can use internet and make phone calls again. This doesn't always work, sometimes I have to restart the phone and hope it finds network again other times I have to just wait for it to find network again.
Anyone have a permanent fix?

Constant singnal loss, no signal for 15sec, reconnecting to 3G

Miui Version - Global 10.2 | Stable 10.2.2.0 (PDGMIXM)
Model - M1803D5XA
Country - Canada
Provider - Fido
Having an issue with my phone constatnly loosing connection, looks like it looses LTE connection, and then connects to 3G after 10-15sec of looking for a signal, then back to LTE in a bit.
It's very often, driving through city it will do that few times in 1 hour.
I can leave phone laying on table at home, and it will do that once in a while, while not even moving the phone.
I tried setting my preffered network to 3G, but it still went to LTE first for some reason.
The same problem
Is there any solution?
