Sorry was just an assumption and I had been wrong. And yes you can.

Not quite the same issue but related since it was caused by the new radio. I never had issues with WiFi not being able to auto-reconnect before. I had the problem with WiFi constantly disconnecting and reconnecting but never had issue with it NOT reconnecting. Now every other time it disconnects at random it doesn't auto-reconnect.
Also, neither Wifi Analyzer nor IP Widget show the WiFi channel I'm connected to since I updated to the new radio.
Try booting in safe mode and see if Wi-Fi works. It might be an app causing the problem

Wifi is actually working fine besides the random disconnects (as before) but now I sometimes have to connect manually, which works fine. It's hard to test in safe mode since It happens probably once or twice a day now instead of 5 to 10

I guess I'm still in the dark here. Back with the 4.4.3 update, there was a version of the update that was small that you could sideload on your bone stock Nexus 5 to update to 4.4.3. All that's available for 4.4.4 looks like the full ~450MB ROM.
How do us bone stock, un-touched Nexus 5 users update beyond waiting for the OTA?
This was all spelled out in the 4.4.3 thread, I'm curious why one doesn't exist for 4.4.4.

Go the OTA help desk. From there you can download the 4.4.4 ota zip and then use the stock recovery to sideload it.

Thanks! Now to find out what that means.... (I don't use this forum since getting a Nexus. No longer need custom ROM's.)
I did the factory image on my wife's N5 and she hasn't had any WiFi issues.
It reconnects on her arrival home and hasn't disconnected on her.

I downloaded the image thrice since morning and it was a bad download everytime
Anyway I can get a different link for the image ?:silly:
If you don't need userdata or recovery, everything else is there

So here's my question ... I updated by downloading the factory image, and flashing the radio, boot, and system img's in fastboot. Didn't flash recovery cause I'm on twrp, or userdata cause I wanted to keep my data. I didn't flash cache.img, but I don't have good reason why. Everything is working fine for me, but I'd really like to know what's in there (it's 13 mb when extracted, so there something for sure). Does anybody know?

You don't need the cache.img. You're phone will create cache as you use it. I don't know exactly what's in the cache.img but it must be a basic starting point.

9Here's how I updated to 4.4.4. This applies to anyone using Windows. I was on stock 4.4.3 with Xposed, ElementalX kernel and rooted via SuperSU. This will not wipe your data and, if you use Xposed, all of your settings for your modules will be preserved.
Make sure you have done the following before you update using the factory image:
1. Uninstall Xposed Framework but don't uninstall your modules.
2. Choose the Full Unroot option in the SuperSU app.
3. It might also be a good idea to flash the stock kernel if you're using a custom kernel. You can find the stock kernels for 4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 here. Use the one for 4.4.3 and flash it in recovery.
After doing these steps, reboot into the bootloader. On Windows, extract the factory image folder named "hammerhead-ktu84p" which contains:
bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
flash-all.bat
flash-all.sh
flash-base.sh
image-hammerhead-ktu84p.zip
radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.16.img
Open the file named "flash-all.bat" in a file editor in Windows, I prefer Notepad++. Look for the line,
Code:fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-ktu84p.zip
and remove the "-w" then save the file. This W flag is what wipes your data. That's what we don't want.
Now, provided you have your adb/fastboot environment set up, run:
thenCode:fastboot devices
Code:flash-all.bat
This will install the factory image without using the -W flag. Let it complete, your phone will reboot and you'll be on 4.4.4! Now just flash your recovery of choice (I use TWRP), install SuperSU, install Xposed Framework and you're done!
