Yesterday I had some trouble with sending messages, usually they would be send within 2 seconds but it took more than 30 seconds. Today same problem and later today I didn't receive any messages while the other person did send them..
What can be the problem?
After restarting my phone yesterday, the problem was fixed but today the problem started again.
I wish I could tell you. I just took a $50. loss to return our Honor 8. Text messaging was too unreliable--costly (missing out on important communication) too. It was using the same service as our other phones (the same sim in other phones had no issues). We're in US using AT&T. I can only assume there's a radio glitch when experiencing a weak signal although I didn't bother to check signal strength at the time of each failed text. We seem to be the only 2 having the issue.

Did you just update to Nougat?
Don't use the default messaging app if you are experiencing this. Use alternatives like Textra or pulse, that is the only way to fix your SMS problems apparently. If you also have MMS problems too, these messaging apps will fix it too.

In my case, not upgraded to nougat. This was my son's phone, and he thinks (I agree) that the basic texting should work. I just wish he'd gotten po'd with the phone before return deadline on Jan 31. At least Discover card appears to be honoring the 90 day guaranteed return benefit. They won't refund the sales tax or pay shipping.

So a couple of times my phone won't let me make calls. It tries connect and then does a short beep. I have to do a airplane no airplane mode to get it.to make.calls again.

It happens to me couple times too ... too bad my 30 days return expired.. Planning to go through warranty center now ... It's kind of annoying because it happens kind of randomly
I have this same issue. They swapped the sim card so I'm going to see if that fixes the problem.
Is it a phone or network problem? On my third phone

I just got my sim swapped, and it still happens.. It looks like phone because my phone has full signals while it happens. It usually happens after long charge

I believe it's a software issue. HTC issued a statement regarding the WiFi issue, that until you get the OTA fix, you need to turn WiFi off and on again to deal with the bug. I haven't had the issue with phone calls that you're having, but I have had the phone drop the mobile data connection completely, or sometimes get locked to EDGE. The Airplane off/on trick fixes it, so I suspect it's similar to the WiFi bug.
If you can put up with it for now, it'll surely be fixed with an update before too long.
Good. Just wondering because everything else on this.phone is good. Ty

Lost all
I had problems at first just losing data and then finally after much time spent trying things with Rogers I lost all connection. Unable to make calls, no data, no signal. Got new one sent and so far so good for 5 days now.
Never lost data on this one bit had the no calls yesterday. None today. Maybe it will be ok. Someone said it.may be fixed. Just don't want to have to return the phone again.

Is a fix on its way?
I had this happen to me two days ago. The status bar indicated that I had a good connection and I was able to send and receive emails and use the web browser, but I couldn't send/receive texts or phone calls. After a restart, I had two voicemails and a few text messages (from an irritated wife!). I had been trying to make calls and send texts when she was calling and sending texts, so I wasn't just missing notifications.
Any word on whether this I a software or hardware problem? I still have some time before my 30 days is up and I tempted to go back to an iPhone if there is no fix.
I hope HTC releases an OTA soon...
This sounds like a network problem to me. In high traffic areas where cellular towers are overloaded , ATT service literally stops working. My entire trip to NYC I had no working service in Manhattan for this reason, and every professional sporting event I've ever been too the same problem has occured.
The "bars" were always good, but no texts or calls could be placed or received.
This happened on my a777, solstice, HTC aria, and Infuse
Seems like a reasonable explanation, except it has never happened before and was fixed as soon as I restarted the phone.
This happens to me EVERY time I am in an area with no (or really poor) service for an extended period of time, one of my classes doesn't get service because of the location of the building.. I've already gotten a sim swap and had my device swapped, it still does the exact same thing, only way to reconnect is by restarting the phone or turning airplane mode on or off. Hopefully it's not a widespread hardware issue and just a software issue that HTC can fix. Only problem is that AT&T has a history of taking FOREVER to get out an update that a manufacturer releases.
Oh and this never happened on my Xperia X10, even in the same class where I lose service.

My Nexus 5 has been exhibiting this problem pretty much since I got the phone.
Randomly it will go into Emergency Calls Only mode. Turning airplane mode on/off or rebooting will fix the issue for a few hours but the phone will eventually lose signal again.
I've factory reset - same problem.
I've flashed the google factory image - same problem.
Phone bootloader is locked and not rooted.
It was happening probably once every 12 hours but today alone it's happened 3 times in 8 hours. This does not occur on any of my other 4 phones including Nexus 4 and Note 2.
I contacted Google to get a replacement and it should arrive by Friday.
My question is: has anyone else experienced this issue? I've seen sporadic similar reports peppered here and there but nothing that I can confirm is the exact same issue as mine.
You are not crazy! This has happened to me as well. Google Play bought 32GB white model.
I only noticed it after turning off LTE in a spotty service area. I would still show several bars of 3G or H as if I was connected but my carrier info (Fido, Canadian) would read emerg. calls only. Stranger still, I could receive texts but not send them. Airplane mode on and off fixed the issue, but it would randomly reoccur.
I'm back in a good H+ service area and haven't noticed the issue again.

I'd like to add that I don't know if disabling LTE had anything to do with the problem but that is when I first noticed it.
Posted a reply last night but I guess it never came through
Same here tho my signal would be full bars then the next moment it's gonna have no bars and then showing emergency call on lock screen.... I'm guessing it's the phone problem... Is this a defect?
Well tell us if anything changes with the new Nexus because I don't really feel like calling them for a replacement then unrooting and all of that over again if it's the phone itself or maybe it's just Canadians
i hope this is just a bug coz i dont wanna return the phone coz i already put the screen protector. lol.
happened to me in the morning.... didnt happen again after. but who knows when it will happen again.
It's a double-edged sword. Glad to know I'm not the only one but at the same time it sounds like a somewhat common issue.
Mine also show good signal when this happens. I've never switched LTE on or off so I don't think it is related to that.
I'll keep you posted on the new device. I should receive it on Friday.
maybe this is happening to everyone... thought it mightve been my new sim but i guess im wrong ima bookmark this thread so i can find it on friday ahah
This is a common issue so it probably affects all phones. I also have a problem with not receiving voicemail notifications. Fortunately I still seem to receive calls when it's in emergency mode.
I'm getting a replacement phone on Monday due to black specks on the screen, but I suspect these issues will also show up in the new phone.
I was on WiFi over home's Fios over N router, updating apps - "Google +" as a matter of fact, when it happened, lost connection & just dropped while downloading. Hit "Retry" button & it resumed - unlikely a problem unique to LTE or HSPA (mobile data) signal from the carrier.
Now, of course, mine (rooted, odex Rom, stock kernel & adv. power menu, and no other mods) is optimized for maximum battery life with non-default settings, and Google Now listen turned off, etc. - new T-Mo micro-Sim that's on PAYG voice plan only & LTE not turned on - since I'm still playing with Talkatone app for voice calling instead of using minues.
Keeping in mind that we are pioneers "field testing" the newest 4.4 KitKat OS for Google with this hot selling device - expect an update or patch from them soon ... probably later.
Same problem on a almost perfect nexus 5 no other issues what so ever so I'm kinda worried that my replacement device may have one of those other defects that people are reporting. Fingers are crossed for a software update that fixes this issue so I can reject the replacement device and keep this one. BTW Also a Canadian phone on rogers here

It's quite possible that it is a Rogers/Fido problem.
im truly hoping its a software bug, because i too have this issue. Im on the white 32gb model, with a new SIM also on AT&T.
crossing fingers and toes that its just to it being the new OS's bugs.
I'm on Bell and so far not a single hiccup.
I had the same issue, perfect phone otherwise, RMA replacement is much better no signal loss so far.

I called rogers he said it shouldn't be a problem but he gave me a reset anyways told me to take my sim card out for a little while. I hope this can be fixed because if not its a deal breaker I can't afford to be missing calls and so on. I'm hoping it's a KitKat problem that is fixed with a update

What carrier are you with ?and how long have you been using the replacement phone ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
1. New SIM
2. Worked fine in the T-Mobile store - got 4.4 OTA in the store over LTE.
3. Came home - "No Service" (even if the T-Mobile network is listed, could not register)
4. Call T-Mobile support - Teir1 then Teir2 - Phone is not registering on the network.
5. Inserted the same SIM in the Samsung SGH-T989 - all four bars with H+
6. Back to the store - SIM exchange.
7. Same problem - call Google - Advance Replacement
This is the story, the new phone I've been using for two days without any issues.

Same problem here on O2 in the UK, google sending a warranty replacement out. Only fitted a spigen screen protector yesterday !
My friend and I have the same problem too.
Both 16gb White
What colour of nexus 5 you guys have?
I see some have white, maybe white causes this issue??
What I did was go into APN settings and switch from WAP selection (which it had by default) and put PHONE and I've yet to get the signal drop again. Although now I never see the small H in the signal. Its always showing LTE

This happened to me today. I went into the Access Point Names menu and found my APN unselected (I have only one configured). After re-enabling the radio button everything was fine. Don't know how this could have happened since the phone has been up for a day.
same problem.. didn't see this topic and opened a new one btw..
so you're saying that a replacing n5 will solve the problem?
as what i read everywhere it seems a problem affecting almost all canada's roger and italy's tim users.. so something related to network/carrier/texts/calls..
it happens (to me) after every sms received and even if "emergency call" is displayed, data continue flowing like a charm.. btw if rma will solve this i'll be happy to do BUT i'm afraid it'll be just a waste of time
Does anyone else has SMS take forever to send or have to be retried like 5 times before it sends? Its awful, even wkth full bars its an issue.
What carrier are you using? Sms problems are more often related to network issues rather than the phone itself.
I dealt with this problem for months with my HTC evo 4g lte, which is why I finally bought out my contract and went with a different provider.

Seems to be a hangouts issue honestly. 3rd party apps work fine
So the title pretty much sums it up. I have a rooted sprint nexus 5 running stock 5.0.1. And I'm a still randomly missing calls and texts. Phone doesn't ring. Missed texts and missed call notifications don't appear until rebooting the phone.
I know this was a problem with 4.4 on the nexus 5 but I thought 5.0 was supposed to fix this. Am I do in something wrong? Help would be much appreciated.
Check your network
I'm having the same problem
I have had a Nexus 5 for the last year. It was a great phone but did miss some calls, but had good reception. I recently broke that phone and purchased a newer one. The reception is awful. I had to buy a microcell booster just to work it in my home where I didn't have to before. If the phone has one bar you can't receive or send calls. If it has two bars it's a crap shoot. Often times when I call there will be two bars and as soon as I press send to call someone the phone drops to no bars. Is this a software or phone or hardware problem?
My issue seems to be receiving texts and calls while on wifi. If so, I will get texts really late, or out of order. With phone calls i just may note receive them at all, nor get a missed call or voicemail notification. I've heard some peopl say that the issue an LTE one and switching to 3G helps the problem but I've found that recently that is not the case. If I am on wifi my sprint nexus 5 just cant seem to get it right...
For Sprint, there could be issues with the signaling for voice/sms when on LTE since the N5 is a single radio for everything. Another thing it could be is the modem version. Also if you got a replacement it's possible the connections are just loose inside or one of them is disconnected for the antenna.
I'm on sprint too and I get the notorious double texts has to be something on sprints end

Sorry to necropost, but i'm reviving this to see if anyone else is still having the same problem??? Has this been fixed on Android 5.1 or 5.1.1 ? There has to be a better solution than having to be on 3G and keeping wifi on only when phone is awake. Help or advanced knowledge of the problem would be appreciated.
Its Sprint, it sucks

Switched to T-Mobile earlier this year. Brought my 5t over from att. Love the service but I had mms issues off the bat. Mainly at work which is an hour north from my home. At home it was OK most of the time. At work though I'd get the "mms message waiting to download" message. Sucks becuese my work team uses group chat to talk. I'd have like 30 mms messages waiting to download. Same with sending
It will take forever. The messages eventually send or come in but it can take a half hour. Called customer support and they said it was due to tower upgrades by my work and it will be fine soon. Doesn't explain why I had the issue at home once in a while. Fast forward to getting the 7 pro. Got it from them and had zero mms issues. Rooted it and flashed international firmware a few weeks back and the issue came back. Apn is the same. Signal strength is the same. I'm lost. Anyone have any ideas?

I searched months back with my 5t, and 2 weeks ago when I switched firmware. That thread is 4 days old. Also got 4 replys in and switched topics so not sure how that's helpful.
