GPS problems with lte

When I have a 4g connection my GPS doesn't work. The second it goes into 3g the GPS picks up. Pictures attached are GPS status started in 4g and right after it switched to 3g

Wish I had a solution for you, but I've had ridiculously fast lock on times in GPS Status with both 3g and 4g. Only thing I've done is install viperROM and Wolfpack kernel. Can't remember off hand if either of those have had GPS enhancements.
Hope you find a fix.

Installed stock deox rom. Hopefully I will enter lte today to test. Was on sd 1.2

Stock rom worked.. Seems to be a problem with SD 1.2.1 ... Not sure if it effects all roms (don't have LTE at home yet so was testing it while on the road)

Total N00B Question about ViperControl
So I started the emulator and got to the menu...how do I actually access the options? I type the number and push enter but nothing happens. I'm sure it's a dumb dumb question but I'm stuck. Thanks!

Not sure if my situation is related, but on two separate occasions, I also lost GPS all together. I wasn't paying attention to 3G/4G, but like yours, it was also 0/0 satellites; however, if I were to restart the app, the satellites came back. I let my phone try to find signal for five minutes or so the first time this occurred to no avail. Could have been just fluke occurrences, but we'll see if it happens a third time.
Question: Does re-routing take a little longer than usual for anyone else? I noticed that when I made a different turn today, it took a good probably 10 seconds to re-route. Not sure if my phone is just wonky or what, but my GPS has definitely not been up to par.

What ROM are you running (if any)?

Viper, been running it since 1.0.3. At the time, I believe my kernel was stock (now running Wolfpack). Haven't had to use GPS for any decently long lengths recently, so I haven't ran into any issues as of now.

Viper is working fine... It was SD that I had the problem with

I haven't had any GPS issues yet with or without 4G on either stock or Viper 1.0.4 w/ stock kernel. For the record, I have Qualcomm's IZat enabled. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Odd signal issues Atrix HD

I recently flashed the (Unofficial) PAC Man ROM over night, and noticed my signal bars were blank. I have 4G (It says sometimes) but when I check my signal strength, it's 0 dBm 99 asu. It can see my Network, says I'm in service, and gives me my IMEI number. However, my phone number is unknown. I'll upload screenshots, and will answer questions (Obviously) if need be. (Note: I can't post in the dev forms, as I don't have enough posts, thought I have PM'd Skeevy about the bug. ROM runs fine otherwise ) Thanks in advance.

Well it's noted as a known bug in almost all 4.2 roms so...

Hm. Read the PACMAN rom bug list and it didn't show up and that's what I'm using.. Oh well. 3G works, I get signal, but my phone number doesn't show up, so eh. I can live with it I guess,

I am one of those folks that will keep flashing for latest stuff cause I like the bleeding edge...
I did have a problem today that all my roms I flashed to had no service. No matter what I did... No bars and WIFI couldn't even be turned on.
End result fix was to flash back to ATT stock US rom through RSD. Then putting CWM back through fastboot and then my customs worked fine. I'm sure it was something dumb I did that caused it, but with an unlocked bootloader, I have no fear of trying anything

Honestly, I think it has something to do with the way 4G LTE is encoded with the ROM. I've flashed stock, gone back and installed CWM and re-flashed PAC and still had the issue. But It still works, I just don't get signal bars, with 0bdm and 99ASU all the time so yeah. 3G and HSPA+ work flawlessly. If I have HSPA+ and 3G I'm fine lol.

Now that GPS is pretty much figured out, which is what I've been focused on, I'll start looking at the stock build.prop and and compare it to PAC's. Should give me some insight to the 4g issues.
I wasn't aware that all 4.2 roms had the signal issue. I see it on PAC maybe once a day and its gone within 5 minutes. I'm not 100% positive, but I think it has to do with wifi. When ever I notice a wifi issue like it not connecting as fast as it should, sure enough the grey icons follow.
Went to Taco Bell last night, saw their wifi connection but didn't connect. Got home, home wifi was slow to connect and they grays. Makes me wonder if there's an issue with the wifi queue or the phones "which internet do I use?" queue.
//Was in drive thru line for a while for 3 Beefy Crunch Burritos...in the store, the guy upfront of me in queue had an 18 item order. Looked like he was leaving the grocery store with all those Bell bags. I thought, dang, his gut's gonna like him in the morning.

Last line made me LOL.
The issue just seems to be 4G and LTE. WiFI on your PAC rom seems runs wifi great, but sometimes it disconnects (very rare for me, but I think it's for everyone in my house, we have quite a few WiFi hogs, lol). I'll just keep flashing your new roms as they come out, and hopefully it'll be fixed. Not to big of a deal if it isn't lol.

signal strength
Did you compare signal rating from your stock ROM to custom ROM?

If you have an older router, try changing the WiFi frequency from auto to 2.4ghz -- fixed my WiFi disconnect issues right up. Also, if that doesn't, then set up a static IP for your phone since, in my experience, static connects a lot faster. That's not really a bug as it is a hardware issue (an I can't afford a new router issue).
As for signal. Can't test LTE\4G. Not available in my town. 3G works fine and doesn't have any disconnect or signal issues. I can suggest to try different modems from the various fastboots.

Its just that the custom Roms don't "see" the 4g signal is all... So it gives a no signal bar. Its different from the connected bars and fully connected bars that still show signals.

Data connection issues

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm S-OFF and am all up to date (ran the latest RUU). (Was on stock ICS until a week or so ago, when I ran rumrunner).
On some roms, I have pretty severe data connection issues. For example, on ViperOne 3.5, 3g/4g drops out a ton, and is very unstable while tethering. I also notice issues when just using data on the phone, without tethering going. I can have full signal, then the data connection will just drop, and sometimes take several tries to reestablish. Sometimes I get a 'failed to establish wireless data connection' notification briefly until it reconnects. Sometimes it will randomly drop to 1X or the signal bars will flash to empty and back again before crapping out. It's very bizarre.
With the stock rom, I don't have it set up to tether, but I did stress test it a bit with Netflix and some data usage and didn't notice any issues. With CM11, I did tether for a while and it seemed rock solid as well. With the GE 4.4 rom, same issue with data dropping. I also did NOT notice this issue at all before unlocking/s-off.
It really seems to be a software issue, but I'm at a loss here. I really have been liking ViperOne aside from this issue, and would love advice on getting my data connection stable.

I have always had these issues too. Very annoying. I don't know if it was good before I s-offed and unlocked because that was the first thing I did when I got the phone. I cant get through a showtime or Netflix TV epside without it disconnecting at least 3 times during the 45 minute show. Matter of fact it even does it on WiFi. I don't tether so never noticed that situation. Every Rom I have used I had this problem. Just a little note I have not tried an ruu yet.

It's making me seriously consider grabbing a Nexus 5 or something (but then I'd miss the IR blaster, which comes in handy at bars, haha). But, I'm really thinking (at least for me) that it's some sort of software issue. Rage One and CM11 both seem rock solid, I flashed to both of those and streamed Netflix over the tether for a good 20+ minutes with no problem. Restore ViperOne and repeat the same thing, and connection drops several times within the first few minutes.

I've never gotten data to work for me consistently on cm10.1 or 10.2, haven't tried 11 yet.

I noticed this on the newest radio.. I switch back to the previous radio and my data drops (specifically while tethered) went down a lot.

Massive wifi bug on stock Lollipop

Wifi turns off automatically and it's impossible to make it work again without rebooting. Am I the only one with this issue?

I have a variant of this, I've tried with both the .03 and .04 radios, it's the same, so it's not the radio itself:
I lose coverage so I get the wifi icon with the exclamation mark, instead of it reconnecting automatically. Switching wifi off, then back on, allows me to use wifi again.
I'm using the NX5 AOSP ROM, 5.0R6 (LRX21T)
We all get different experiences, but it sounds like the root cause is likely the same.
Give as much information as you can (Android version, radio, which particular ROM, usage), otherwise it's impossible to understand what could be causing the issue.

The same happens on my Nexus 10 (which doesn't have a radio as far as I know) with stock rooted 5.0.

Wi-Fi delayed list...
A very annoying bug that i am facing is when i enable Wi-Fi i have to wait more than two minutes to get the Wi-Fi network list meanwhile i might get messages like "settings are not responding" also none of the new Wi-Fi networks are saved b in to saved network list, so i have to enter wpa keys again and again....

Did you do a clean install or did you just install it over your 4.4?

once you click "flash all.bat" it formats and cleans everything, so I guess I clean flashed it.

I guess I'm just wondering if these are issues are due to not starting a clean slate. I typically try to do a clean wipe of the internal NAND whenever it's a major revision change (4.4 > 5.0).
But if the bugs are persistent for those of you who did a clean install...maybe it's better to hold off for now.

I did a clean flash all as well and have the same issue where WiFi is never turned off. Wtf google. Battery was awesome right before the update

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll hold for now.

as for me, usb tether always turns of itself when i wake/turn the screen on
stock image rooted using CF
wifi works fine

Mine would lose connectivity, meander about for 30 - 60 seconds, and reconnect. I set the WiFi antenna to 2.4Ghz (from Auto) and turned off "Scanning always available" (although I doubt the latter had anything to do with it) and it's been fine ever since. This was on a clean factory install -- no root, no OTA update; pure OEM Lollipop ROM.

Whenever i go to settings > Wifi settings the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and then it crashes. This happens like 70% of the time.
Anyone else having this ?

I dont have any wifi etc problems
Only thing i have noticed so far is the recent apps bug that shows up sometimes

Phone: Nexus 4

stock Recovery

Bluetooth tethering between nexus 4 and nexus 7 breaks every 30 mins or so.
You have to reboot to get it working again.

Decided to take the plunge. Installed lollipop. Am happy to say that I do not have this issue occuring to me though.

yup, wifi issues for me.
Notice it when I get home, my wifi will not connect and when I go to check the settings it has been turned off. So of course I try to turn it on but everything I try does not work, I am unable to get it to turn on. Only a reboot will get wifi working again.
Not happy at all about this. and a couple of other features. Now I'm wishing I never did the update. Google you have taken my expensive smart phone and turned it against me.

It could be a combination of your router and something they've changed in how Lollipop handles networking.

I have the same issue. On my Nexus 4, I just set it to 2.4 GHz only, as 5 GHz has never worked since 4.3. I can only connect if I hold the phone up to the router. On my Nexus 7 where 5GHz actually works well, I like the fact it prefers 5GHz.

WiFi stops working

I noticed that WiFi stops working on my new G4 pretty often. The WiFi icon is on, and the connection is "up", but the data transmission stops working. I see the top arrow blink (is that transmit?) but the bottom arrow doesn't come up anymore. Trying to do anything fails and times out.
To fix, turning the WiFi off and back on makes it all work again.
Anyone else experience this problem? I know @jonathan3579 reports the same issue.
I am connected to 5 Ghz using an Asus RT-N66 running Merlin firmware. I have no issues with any of my other devices.

Using the "Switch to mobile data" option helps a bit by falling back on LTE when the WiFi stops working.

I'm having the same issue at home. I could be watching a video and suddenly stops. I don't know if it has to do something with root. I noticed it starts happening yesterday. I never had this issue and I got this phone sine 5/27 when it was released. I'll do a factory reset.

Are you having this issue everywhere you go or just one specific place?

I had not noticed it at work, but I only got on the WiFi yesterday for a little bit. This morning it failed on me, so, that's two for two. Haven't used it in many places.
The hotspot works great though. I tether an iPod Touch in my car automatically whenever I drive and I haven't noticed any issues there.

I'm at work and I have been watching multiples videos and no issue at all.

I just noticed this today happening to me too. =(.
Pretty great phone otherwise! Also connected 5ghz to a RT-AC68U (the T-Mobile cellspot), flashed with an older Merlin firmware.
Had to reboot to get it to behave again.

Me too
I've been having this issue too. I've noticed that I lose data and WiFi calling simultaneously. I thought it was my router because we were having issues with the router dropping phones and laptop, but now with a new router it is only my phone that is having a problem.

Running DNSet has definitely helped with keeping the data flowing, and I appreciate that.
WiFi calling is still dropping. When I look in the settings it says "enabling" and just hangs.

What internet provider do you have I'm assuming Comcast

This issue appears to be due to the 5ghz radio. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, but if you connect to the 2.4ghz band, the issue will go away.

Its most likely a issue with lollipop

Lollipop on the G4 maybe, but I have used a Nexus 6, a Moto X and a Dell Venue 7840, all running Lollipop, without issues. The G4 is the only one that has this issue. I never tested my old G3 on this network with Lollipop, I sold it before the update rolled out.

I switched to 2.4 ghz and WiFi calling appears to be staying connected. My provider is Oceanic Time Warner and my router is T-Mobile cell spot.
Fingers crossed and thanks for all the help.

Did these wifi problems start after root?

Mine were happening before root, I think. I switched to T-Mobile cell spot router right before I rooted because my old router was regularly dropping connections, and I have been paying attention more since I rooted. I am also caring for 11 month old twins, so things are kind of a blur. What I am saying is I might not be the most reliable source. I can say that switching from 5ghz to 2.4ghz seems to have solved my WiFi issue.
