LTE and the N5

[rem_kujawa]

When on LTE only(confirmed 3G does not do it) when I make a call I go from full signal to nothing. Everything still works fine no dropped calls. Is this just normal behavior for LTE. This is my second Nexus 5 and both did it so I assume the phone is fine.

I've noticed this and I think its because LTE is data only and when you make a call you are using HSPA. I think the phone has one display for LTE connectivity and another for HSPA and when you flip between the two it resets the display. I have yet to see if I can make a call and use data. I know this was a technical issue in the past that AT&T used to use in their commercials.

Ah that makes sense. I'm pretty new to LTE so I have to ask. Thanks for the reply so fast.

As stated above LTE is for data so what you're seeing is the HSPA "kicking" in for the voice call. Normal functionality.

I was under impression HSPA was slower data level. Thought levels were Edge, 3G, HSPA, HSPA+ and then LTE. Could be wrong though.

Well I'm on Sprint so I don't think its hspa but probably same concept.

Yes you're correct. I forget everyone isn't on AT&T LOL.

No you're right but this is about voice so data speeds not applicable here.

Thanks. Good luck on a resolution.

Yes. You can't use the two at the same time, so data is disabled when you make a call. Volte (Voice over LTE) is something I hope becomes the standard sooner rather than later.
