Google Nexus 5

I notice that I randomly lose signal.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Is it an Nexus 5 thing, Lollipop thing, or is it because my sim is configured for LTE?

N5, Lollipop 5.0.1, LTE and don't have any issues.
 
Oh, and I saw the "red" version of the Nexus 5 today. That thing be orange. Not sure what Google are smoking.

Either way, it looks awesome.

That's your problem right there. The D820 does not support LTE band 3, which Vodacom uses.

Also, both Telkom Mobile (band 40) and MTN (band 3) use bands that are unsupported by it. Basically, no LTE on the D820 in South Africa.

Hi

Could anyone suggest good NFC tags for N5.
Some that works well and available in SA. I see takealot has a few options but have no idea what's good or what works better.

Any work around for this, as in disabling LTE?

Three ways that I know of.

First, go to Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode and selecting WCDMA (preferred) / GSM. If that doesn't work (even though it should), dial *#*#4636#*#*, scroll to Phone Info, and under Radio, change the type to WCDMA preferred.

Third option, if rooted, is to install Nexus 5 Field Test and disabling LTE through it. But I'd be wary of that app, it's got the potential to really stuff up your device.

Okay. The first way worked. I set it to use 3G, which I recall is WCDMA.
Will go around for a week and see if I experience the same issue.
Thanks.

How does one tell the difference between a D820 and a D821?



Resist the temptation of doing business with the OrangeZA store (and it's still Expansys UK behind the scenes).

I don't agree with that comment, I have had nothing but awesome service from them, your more than welcome to handle the RDA if something goes wrong by yourself too,

I ordered my Nexus 5 from Orange and their service was excellent.
 
Same here, had no issues buying from Orange, and would do so again. Though, I will not the issues that other people have had with their orders.
 
Anyone else running the Cataclysm rom? I'm quite impressed. Also getting about 1.5h extra SOT on a full charge compared to stock.
