How is everybodys signal compared to there note 2? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I don't know why but it seems my signal on my note 3 is weaker than my note 2 for some reason im in san antonio and im rooted with the update.just wondering if anybody else is having signal issues with there note 3.

Signal on mine has been really good but the phone I had before was the galaxy s4. Been finally getting 4g in my area for a few months now so I'm sure that's the reason I've been getting better signal

Signal on mine is horrible. I keep getting my calls lost /dropped within 5 seconds of dialing out. Returning mine and going back to my SGSII

Mine is great!! I really don't see the issues everyone is having

I'm also getting a much better signal than on my Note 2. The Note 3 is consistently in the -90--99 dbm range in my basement and the Note 2 is always between -101 and -109. I don't even need my airave anymore.

[Q] Tmobile S3 Weak WIFI

Is it just me or is anybody else having a problem with weak wifi signal on their phones? I know its not my router or connection because on my g note i always had at least 3 bars and speed test always gave me a constant speed of 10-11mbps. But now on my tmobile s3 i barely have a wifi signal shows 1 bar , and my wifi calling even says you are almost out of coverage area. And speed test is only giving me 2-4 mbps??
Anybody else also expirencing this? Any fixes, do you think there is something wrong with my phone, should i pay the restocking fee and return it?
Mine is actually better than gnote i had on att. My wife's gs3, she said wifi speed is faster on gs3 than her previous s2 skyrocket. We are VERY pleased by these awesome phones.

Same here. Although the speed is amazingly fast, the signal reception is worse than that of my iPhone and iPad. Is there a fix to this? Other than that, this device is exceptional.

Looks good on mine so far. Speedtests gave me 30M on my 50M connection
Well I just rooted my s3 and reset and re connected my wifi. Seems to be doing much better I now get at least 2bars sometimes three and speed test is showing 6-7mbps which is better.
But dang 20mbps you guys have some fast wifi. I'm jealous

Mine seems fine compared to my other devices (ipad 3, SGSII, iphone4) but I am also rooted not sure if that affects it somehow or not. But no complaints here on signal strength or speed

The wifi signal isn't so bad that I'd call it weak(my Transformer Prime is WEAK), but it's not so great. Depending on what phone you were using before the gs3, it may seem weak though. I use different devices alot, and the gs3 is not the best or worst when it comes to wifi. The gs2 has great wifi, the Galaxy note soes too. The prime is terrible, and the gs3 is probably slightly better than the sensation in my opinion. I'm upstairs with the router downstairs, and I get 10mbps, but right in front of the router I get 30+. I've also noticed that it can depend on how I'm holding the phone. It never knocks the signal out, but it does weaken it when I'm using it in landscape. Maybe you could move your router to more central location?

Well, technically it shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Put the phones in the same spot, and check the signal strength in dBm.
I agree, those that have it the rest of the world is dying to know!
How is the signal? Is it the same radio that's in the GS3?

Curious to know from those who upgraded from HTC Thunderbolt with frequent LTE disconnects if the issue remains, which points to network issue, or eliminated but it'll probably require at least a week to confirm.
Coming from GNex, plz let it be better then that :fingers-crossed:
I'd like to think it is slightly better because the size of the device means the antenna can be farther from anything that will cause noise or something. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I really hope it's got a better radio than the GNex. I've been limping along with that thing for the last year. I'll go from a 20 megabit connection to no data without even moving locations.
I kind of hated ordering the Note2 blind, but I've been waiting for a note to arrive on verizon since the note1 came out. If the radio is lousy, well at least I can draw with it.

Much better than the GS3 I had, even when I was using all the different types of radios that were available.
Data connection is faster too. Most likely as a result of NOT using a piece of $hit snapdragon SOC.

I think my rezound has a snapdragon SOC, and it has no problems with reception or data speeds. Get up to 40 down and 15 up on it.
Samsung has a history of bad radios on Verizon. It's really the only potential negative of this device.

cool, going to head over to verizon store and play with it and dna and look at signal strengths. I only get 1-2 bars in the hospital so if its worse, I might not have signal.
The rezound had good 4g reception but average 3g reception; the galaxy s3 had good 4g reception and below average 3g reception. Anyways I hope folks provide good feedback and 4g, 3g and cellular reception for the note. Very interested in this phone (though it is bigger than I would like). To be honest I would go with the DNA if it had a large battery. Don't take me wrong I think the note has a lot of nice unique feature I just wish it was a bit narrower.

i have my galaxy nexus and my note 2 side by side and signal strength is the same with a slight edge to the note 2. I am looking at the signal strength in options and not the bars.
I have notes 2 and DNA side by side at the possibly worst corner in terms of cell signal.
Note 2 is extremely unstable. keep on switching between LTE to 3G to no signal (the round circle with a cross over the center. usual stop sign)
while DNA has a full bars for CALL. and 1x for data. It is slow, but it is stable and usable.
SHAME ON YOU SAMSUNG. Why put such a stupid radio chip on such a good device otherwise.

Only matters when you are in weak signal areas. If you're seeing -70 to -80 DBMS or lower you're in a decent area. What the Gnex couldn't handle was the weaker areas. Where my rezound was -85 or so the Gnex was -100 or worse. I'll post something when I get back to my office. I'll do a compare and post it. If the Note 2 is anything like the Gnex it will end up the same way with me. Returned! I don't care how cool the phone is.

Do you have dBm readings that you could post for a comparison? The data switching between 1x, 3G, and 4G could be fixed in an update hopefully.

the dbm on N2 was jumping from -120 to -98 to -75 and the data connection is ON and OFF. That is frustrating.
My location (my cubicle) here now is like a stress test case in terms of cellphone cell strength in a weaker environment.
IN good coverage, everyone is happy. Both phones are -75dbm and stable.
In weaker ones, N2 can't hold on to a data connection.
I really want to love it, but in this checkbox, there is no competition.
It does perform well in battery category tho.
And by the way, refer to your other post, the screen is not brighter than DNA screen. even put to full brightness. It is just so pathetic putting them side by side to compare.
I will continue test until this evening. If the data connection weakness is confirmed, I have to take N2 back to store. I feel it will make my wife crazy to see me carrying both giant 5 inch phones each costing more than 600 USD combining all costs...

My experience has been the opposite. I live in a rural(ish) area. The drive between my house and the city large enough to warrant a 4G market is about 30 minutes long and involves intermittently picking up 4g about 3 times before it locks in as you get closer to town.
My S3 was quick to pick up 4G, but would briefly drop data and voice coverage in the "holes". The N2 is slower to pick up the 4G towers, but makes the transitions without interruption. The N2 has a much better radio IMHO.
((Important Note)) I ran the S3 stock for the first couple of weeks and then moved to Synergy Nightlies most of the time with occasional stabs at CM10. I flashed new basebands on the S3 as soon as they were leaked. The N2 was purchased on 12/12/12 about ten minutes after I learned of Adam Outler's team and their unlock hack. So none of my very unscientific opinions have anything to do with a stock S3 vs. stock N2 experience.

HTC One - poor LTE reception

I very much wanted to love this phone. Having been an HTC user for the longest time, I begrudgingly switched to a Note 2 last year. Why "begrudgingly", you ask? I'm a bit superficial when it comes to my phones and I'm not a fan of the plastic bodies used by Samsung. The HTC One, as you know, has an amazing build quality and, when you hold the phone, you get a sense of the premium materials used in its construction. The screen clarity is tops and the speakers sound quite good. I love nearly everything about this phone but I just ordered a plastic-laden Galaxy S4, due to issues with LTE reception one the One. Upon purchase, I noticed right away that this phone shows 1-2 fewer bars of LTE signal, everywhere, when compared to my Note 2. I figured it was just the graphical representation of signal strength that was off but then I noticed that the One spent far more time on HSPA than the note 2. Using G Net Track, I observed RSSI readings ~20dBm lower than my Note 2. These observations were made over time, with the phone stationary on my desk. The signal strength indicator and the RSSI readings confirmed that the HTC One I purchased suffers from poor LTE reception. I'm quite irritated that HTC missed with this device; I was very much hoping they would hit a home run with the One.
Has anyone else noticed LTE reception problems with their phone?
I have amazing 4g coverage I'm on tmobile I came from Verizon I am currently in south fl might be your area ? This might be a stretch but it feels like I have better 4g coverage on tmobile or it could just be that I love the phone

I have One, Nexus 4, iPhone 5, they all have the exact signal level at any given location. Unless you're blocking the antenna causing attenuation.
Also, you should be monitoring RSRP and RSRQ. Not RSSI if you're on LTE. Get SignalCheck Pro and do some testing.
When I moved I stopped in Kansas City (one of T-Mobile's LTE markets) and I had no problems with LTE reception.
Even with 2 bars on LTE. My speed is excellent.

Have you ever seen full LTE signal on your One? In areas where my Note 2 had four bars, my One has only two. Maybe I just received a lemon and an exchange will remedy the issue.

I'm a bit concerned as well about LTE signal strength. I'm on only a single signal bar 90% of the time. I've only seen up to 3 bars only once. My speeds seem okay though, I am hitting 30mb down with only the 1 signal bar. My main concern is battery drain due to the weak signal.
I get awesome HSPA signal though, full bars almost everywhere. I'm tempted to just turn LTE off as HSPA speed here is still awesome.

I'm also in kansas City and my note 2 was picking far better lte I'd say than the One.
If when mine arrives here in Taipei it shows lower bars I will take it in personally to their HTC office here in Taipei and ***** about it. Will try same SIM card in different smartphones to show differences If needed but will need to test first.
I don't quite understand what standard is to be expected. Is anything less of 30mb down on a cell phone really that unacceptable? I suppose it's reasonable if you're using hotspot for a laptop, but are we just talking about apps downloading data?
It might be that HTC didn't do well with function over form with the One in terms of signal reception. But I guess this may be the sacrifice you'll have to make.
Have you guys run speed tests rather than judging by signal bars alone? I've found that although my One displays two bars at my gym for "4g", I get completely crap signal, and can barely send out a Google voice text.. I've yet to run a speed test to see what exactly I'm getting in terms of d/u speeds.

That was my experience, going from a Note 2 to the One. I returned the One and picked up an S4 - much better LTE service. I did a side by side evaluation of LTE performance on the One vs the S4. Using the Speedtest.net app, I was consistently pulling 13Mbps using the One. I placed my SIM card into the S4 and consistently pulled 23Mbps. I switched the SIM back to the One and couldn't break 14Mbps. Yes, I selected the same server on both phones. Sadly, the One appears to have LTE issues.
I will be just happy when LTE actually goes live in my city. My HSPA+ speeds are really good. I just did a speedtest and go 18Mbps on my One and 13Mbps on my S4.

Note 8 reception/speed worse than Note 5 ??

I have the Note 5 and the Note 8, both T-Mobile branded. I haven't tested the wifi yet, but as far as cellular reception/speed goes, the 2-year old Note 5 seems to consistently outperform the Note 8, and in some cases, crushes the newer model. I felt the Note 8 was slower, but I was able to confirm objectively looking at the consistent numbers generated by the speedtest app.
Is the Note 8 cellular reception known to be below average or was the Note 5 a stellar performer? Or is it likely that I have a Note 8 that's an underperforming dud?
Should I bring the Note 8 to a T-Mobile store and have one of the associates run the speedtest app simultaneously with another one of their Note 8s that are on display (with T-Mobile SIMs in both)?

My Note 8 running the speed test app is faster than my rooted Nexus 6 and my S8+. I'd take it to a T-Mobile store and see what they have to say. The Nexus 6 runs around 50Mbps, the S8+ runs around 60Mbps and the Note 8 hits 80Mbps all at the same exact spot.
My N8 is a UK exynos unbranded & my N5 is a Tmobile. At home where I don't get geat reception, my N8 shows lower bars than my N5. But my speed is faster on my my N8. Wifi speed is pretty much the same.
Didnt own the Note 5, but did own the Note 3 and Note 4, about the same speeds on my Note 8 here, all T MO versions.
How do you guys that buy imported devices utilize warranty, or don't you?
Ok... so I played around with another T-Mobile Note 8 and the results were very similar to the first one. The older T-Mobile Note 5 seems to be more capable of pulling in weak signals in a shielded building. However, the Note 8 has a much higher ceiling provided that the reception is good. In the mall parking lot of the T-Mobile store, I was able to download at a speed of 150+ Mb/s on the Note 8 while the Note 5 was limited to around 100 Mb/s.
From what I've read newer faster frequencies are weaker...that's why 5G antennas are being deployed at shorter distances...
I have the unlocked Note 8 version running on T-Mobile, with a family member who has the Mobile version of the Note 8. When doing speed test next to each, the unlocked version seams to be a lot faster. Seems like the unlocked version is using CA more efficiently. While the T-Mobile version camps on Band 12 as primary more often even with a decent band 2, or 4 available. The unlocked version seams to choose, a less overloaded band as the primary band first.
Speed test were around 20-40mb faster with the unlocked version, some areas even had double the speed. A few times the speeds were very close between the two. Might be the radio needs to be updated, or you can try flashing the unlocked version radio.

I recently upgraded from a T-Mobile Note 5 to a Note8. We travel from Greensboro, NC to Harrisburg, PA quite often and I've noticed that on those trips the Note 5 outperformed the Note8 in reception. Couldn't believe it myself.
This is what I'm continuously finding, pretty consistently... that when the signal is strong, the Note 8's speed is pretty awesome and trounces the Note 5. However, when the signal is lacking, the Note 8 really struggles pretty badly. I hope T-Mobile will fix this with their next update. The fact that the unlocked version of the Note 8 seems to pull in signals better than the T-Mobile-branded version (reportedly) means that this should be fixable by firmware.
My speed tests using same location and server are almost the same with my other Samsung device compared to my tmo Note 8. Not better and not worst.

I live in a small city compared to you. I'd imagine a city like Manhattan gets bogged down some. Sucks for sure.

Yup. That's why I need to move to a small city then I'll finally be able to watch a YouTube video without turning in my WiFi. Lol
