[Q] Strange signal problem

[bpclarke]

When I first got my Nexus 5 I thought Hangouts was a bit buggy. When sending texts (SMS) it would sometimes try and try to send texts to no avail and other times work fine. Signal in the notification bar was fine so I assumed there was something wrong with Hangouts.

Since then (after rooting the phone with CF auto root - don't think this has anything to to with the problem) I have noticed that at the times my phone won't send texts, in the setting pull down section it shows no signal whilst still showing signal in the notification bar. I have also noticed that mobile standby uses a large proportion of my battery.

I will upload screen shots from my phone soon.

The only thing I could think of that might be causing it is that the SIM card I'm using has been cut down from normal size to micro size.

I just wondered if anyone know's what's wrong or could suggest any fixes?

Thanks

Also forgot to mention turning Aeroplane Mode on and off seems to fix the problem temporarily which is why I don't think there's a problem with the SIM card.

I observed something similar since unlocking and rooting with wugfresh toolkit yesterday. The mobile signal just drops completely for 10s, then comes back. Mostly happens a few minutes after boot. No idea what is going on there.

When I'm at home mines doing it constantly too, and I haven't rooted yet . There's not brilliant signal here, but forcing onto 2g mode worked absolutely fine on my nexus 4.I'm considering returning it, it must be something wrong with the phone, unless the firmware is dodgy?

Just got the phone yesterday, and I have been experiencing the same problem while I was at work. I would turn the phone off and on again and the problem would be fixed, but then later would just stop working.
When I got home from work, (and ever since then) it has been fine. I am a little concerned.

I to sometimes have this issue, and receiving texts late also. The weird thing is signal bars are still full...

I have this same issue, it's really weird.

I was on a call and the call was fine. As soon as I hung up I looked at my phone and it said I had no signal, but my signal bar on the notification bar showed a fine signal. Very weird to see a good signal in the notification bar, but no signal in the toggle section.

I can get a signal back by either going into airplane mode, toggling back and forth between LTE and 3G or restarting the phone.

There's a thread on the Google forums here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/T5ey4dttBOA

Although the last Google reply was referring to APN settings, however this seems to have been refuted by the users.

It would be nice to get this narrowed down between hardware and software. If it's hardware we'd obviously want to exchange.

This is a huge issue too since you can just be sitting around not knowing you have no signal.

I have the exact same issue here. Have you tried flashing a different modem?

Sorry for not updating - started using the Google forum alamarco linked and totally forgot about this post. Have just come across it again.

Just in case anyone looks here for a solution to this problem in the future, getting a new SIM fixed it for me too.
